CDC vaccine advisory committee to review long-approved immunizations A leader of the CDC's reconstituted vaccine advisory committee said the panel would start a review of long-approved shots.

News: The American Academy of Pediatrics says it will no longer take part in the process of ACIP meetings.

“We won’t lend our name or our expertise to a system that is being politicized at the expense of children’s health,” the group's president says.

'It's not unusual': RFK Jr. comments on growing Texas measles outbreak When questioned about a growing measles outbreak in West Texas that has claimed at least one life, Health & Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told reporters "we have measles outbreaks eve...

Actually, a measles outbreak IS an unusual occurrence. Especially in a country like the US, which had eliminated the disease thanks to vaccination until recently.
It's so unusual that most physicians in the U.S. have NEVER seen a case!

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

Emergency Food, TB Tests and H.I.V. Drugs: Vital Health Aid Remains Frozen Despite Court Ruling (Gift Article) The Trump administration appears to be flouting a judge’s order pausing the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D.

Fighting erasure: Navigating the new environment of gender-affirming care Joseph Cherabie, MD, MSc, shares their views on the executive order on gender and sex and explores possible approaches for medical providers navigating this new environment.

Appreciative of @hivma.bsky.social and @idsainfo.bsky.social for allowing me to write about the new federal executive orders with respect to sex and gender, and how we may best function as providers while advocating for LGBT+ pts

Agree! Clinicians can explore gender-neutral approaches in documentation and patient care to navigate this restrictive environment while preserving inclusive, patient-centered care. @jncherabiemd.bsky.social #HealthEquity #GenderIdentity #PatientCare www.idsociety.org/science-spea...

The #PEPFAR tracker is following the real time impact of each passing day of the funding suspensions spurred by the USAID funding freeze. Although there is a waiver to allow dispersion of ART, this is not happening because clinic workers have been laid off. People are dying.

Been getting reports of colleagues being pulled into meetings with legal at their hospital systems or universities, to discuss what they can and can't teach/train. If anyone needs help in adapting their trainings to these EOs or talking points, please reach out, DMs open.

Will scientists stand up and reject this? Or will they shrug and throw their hands up in the air?
Eliminating the words flagged from research and grants makes whatever is produced no longer research but rather propaganda aligned with the EO of POTUS.
Do not obey in advance!

Also Dr. Cassidy, cmon.

I cannot believe this is becoming a reality.

An attempt to lighten the mood a little

In no way shape or performed did anybody vote for Musk yet the power he has exerted as a private citizen is unheard of. This is wild.

I still don’t understand how a single person is able to do this in a country where bureaucracy exists for a reason. The United States government is designed for a single person, not to have too much power, however these bounds are being tested daily.

Behind the Chaotic Attempt to Freeze Federal Assistance The potential for devastation is made plain by another order, concerning the crucial work of U.S.A.I.D.

My @newyorker.com piece on the ongoing, likely unconstitutional funding freeze at USAID now imperiling millions: “This is not a pause. It is a destruction.”

USAID is also where the Administration is testing out its playbook for eviscerating other agencies.

STI Treatment Guidelines are down, for now go to nnptc.org where our group has housed STI and HIV PrEP guidelines #HIVSky #STISky #IDSky

🚨 If you think this administration isn't attacking science & vaccines, think again. They’ve now scrubbed all ACIP slides.

First, they erase the data. Then, manipulate it to fit their narrative—this time, undermining vaccine safety. We’ve seen this playbook before. #ScienceMatters #VaccinesSaveLives

Hillary Clinton:

Trump Administration Halts H.I.V. Drug Distribution in Poor Countries (Gift Article) PEPFAR’s computer systems also are being taken offline, a sign that the program may not return, as Republican critics had hoped.

"Trump administration has instructed organizations in other countries to stop disbursing H.I.V. medications purchased with U.S. aid, even if the drugs have already been obtained and are sitting in local clinics"

I have to amplify this excellent post by @drgrahamwalker.com. Every day that passes with health agencies being crippled from informing the public and health professionals on myriad health or drug related concerns puts us all at risk. We will not be greater, but we will surely be sicker for it.

Take action to stop RFK Jr. from undermining public health and democracy. Make your voice heard today: committeetoprotect.org/stop-rfk-jr/... #ProtectDemocracy #PublicHealth

The ECDC : www.ecdc.europa.eu/en
The WHO: www.who.int

Are all excellent alternative sources of information on common health issues, vaccine guidance, health travel advice etc.
If the CDC goes dark know your options
