An FDA decision to place 19 peptides on the “unsafe” list was supported by numerous documented safety concerns, former officials said.

Even though demand for peptide therapies has exploded since then, there’s been little new science.

RFK Jr. Lied His Way Into Office and American Health Is the Victim He is pushing quackery as science as health secretary

Kennedy canceled $500 million in mRNA research and announced no new mRNA projects will ever be initiated—killing the technology that produced the fastest vaccine rollout in human history.

As RFK Jr allies hailed Mississippi’s rollback of strict school vaccine rules, whooping cough surged and a baby died The campaign to change the rules was years in the making, orchestrated in part by two men with close ties to US health secretary RFK Jr

“Whooping cough surged in Mississippi last year, ultimately claiming the life of a baby – the first whooping cough death in the state in 13 years… Kindergarten vaccination rates this year dropped to the lowest level in years.” @jackiantonovich.bsky.social

Image of a ProPublica headline that reads "They Needed Treatment for Drug Addiction. The Company They Turned to May Have Used Them to Commit Fraud." The headline is illustrated with a pair of hands holding a miniature rehab center. One hand is dropping a small human through the top of the building. From the bottom of the building, a $100 bill emerges.

NEW: Kentucky’s largest drug rehab center touts a Christian message and a selfless commitment to helping others.

But internally, the organization prioritized money over the well-being of its clients and staff, interviews show.

“Health economists warned that this AI coding arms race — fueled by AI scribes and autonomous coding tools maximizing codes on one side, and by insurer algorithms trying to minimize payments on the other — is a zero-sum game that could really hurt some of the most vulnerable providers”

Glad to see the World Medical & Health Policy journal’s publication of my analysis with @hjarman.bsky.social on the tariffs’ harmful effects on health, examining tariffs’ intersection with SNAP, WIC, and beyond. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

After spending one (1) day navigating America’s health insurance system on behalf of a senior relative I’m ready to burn something down.

You should probably not put an insurance company in front of me rn.

Thank you - looking forward to your thoughts. PS - at least you don’t tie access to healthcare to employment & then have a monster fed preemption statute that makes subnational insurance reform challenging in that context!

Trump and Hegseth halted funding for research to get blood to wounded U.S. Marines and U.S. Navy sailors:

"When someone is wounded and survival depends on the availability of blood, this software would have made that survival more likely. Now it will not."
