Who will it denaturalize? "Any" case that it "determines to be sufficiently important".

Point 10 leaves the criteria opaque and arbitrary.

I think Paul Farmer’s key contribution was to consistently highlight that poverty is the most important comorbidity

And that preferential option for the poor is how we tackle this deadly comorbidity

At #CCR25, we saw some trials use a #CompositeOutcome (an endpoint that combines more than one outcome into a single measure) & also saw some of the problems these can throw up. I have discussed these before but thought it would be useful to revisit 1/9

There are thousands of residents who are supposed to start in less than a month in hospitals across the US who cannot enter the country. There is going to be a major staffing crisis across the country but especially in rural and urban hospitals than rely on international medical graduates. #MedSky

ACOG is deeply disappointed by HHS’s move to drop COVID-19 vaccine recommendations in pregnancy. The science is clear: COVID-19 remains dangerous in pregnancy and vaccination protects both patients and newborns. The vaccine is safe and protects families. Read our full statement: buff.ly/OGue7sO

“Pregnant women who have #COVID-19 & show symptoms are more likely than nonpregnant women with COVID-19 & symptoms to need care in an ICU, to need a ventilator…, or to die from the illness…. more likely to have a cesarean birth, preeclampsia or eclampsia, & blood clots.”

HHS to stop recommending routine Covid shots for children, pregnant people, RFK Jr. ally says A change in recommending Covid vaccines for children and pregnant women would circumvent an expert panel but please many MAHA fans.

Pregnant people are not included in many vaccine trials to protect safety

During Covid this came into question. Pregnant people were at increased risk, & many died due to delays in vaccinating

Excluding pregnant people from vaccine eligibility due to exclusion from RCTs would further the harms

This is atrocious. Unscientific, evil, and will kill people. Anyone want to plan a new vaccine tourism company? I’d be your first client.

Nearly final CBO score of the GOP reconciliation plan is out.

Their bill would cut program spending by $1.5 trillion but spend $312 billion more on defense, ICE, etc., for a total of $1.2 trillion in spending cuts.

Plus $3.6 trillion in tax cuts.

For a total of $2.4 trillion in higher deficits.

No matter what this Administration tells the American people, the law is very clear: Members of Congress have a legal right to enter any DHS detention facility to conduct oversight without prior notice - something I’ve done twice this year without issue.

John Fetterman’s Struggle The senator insists he is in good health. But staffers past and present say they no longer recognize the man they once knew.

‘Fetterman went on to make statements that shocked people. In opposing a cease-fire, he said, “Let’s get back to killing.” A person who heard the conversation told me, “He said, ‘Kill them all.’”’
