Why would lack of telework accommodations hit younger employees most?

Today at the Senate Appropriations LHHS hearing he claimed that the RCT hepatitis B vax study in Guinea Bissau would be ethical because the control group “wasn’t going to get the newborn hep B vax anyway”

They are telling the world a story by putting their bodies on the line—a story about people clinging to the support structures that make their lives and their families' lives possible and livable.

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

The President is threatening genocide and possible use of nuclear weapons against Iran.

It’s clear the President has continued to decline and is not fit to lead. The members of his Cabinet must invoke the 25th Amendment immediately.

It is very easy to become accustomed to Trump’s ravings, and laugh them off. That’s a dangerous thing to do.

When Trump states: “A whole civilization will die tonight,” he is threatening to commit genocide.

We can’t allow that to happen. Congress must end this war NOW.

Forget impeachment. 25th amendment time.

Congress won’t go for this. It’s just the president’s proposal.

I was holding my breath and extremely nervous

The Supreme Court did not strike down conversion therapy bans today.

Not nationwide. Not in Colorado. Not anywhere.

Here's what actually happened in Chiles v. Salazar—and why the coverage you're seeing serves the conservative legal movement more than it serves you.

Let's focus on something we ALL agree on:

And this time it’s about war on the American people by this administration

We're reminding President Trump what it means to be born in the U.S.A.

We're honored that the one and only Bruce Springsteen trusted us with use of his iconic anthem ahead of our landmark Supreme Court case, where we’re challenging President Trump’s attempt to overturn birthright citizenship.

“I just cannot imagine a scenario where I’d have to prove that I bought a donut”

This is so scary! What if it’s nothing serious?

Netflix Backs Out of Bid for Warner Bros., Paving Way for an Ellison Takeover

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

Massie still wants to end birthright citizenship and support for existing refugees in the US, wants to scale back gun refs further, dismantle the EPA, doesn’t believe in climate changes. He differs from Trump on certain issues but he is still a racist “America First” POS.

This is disgusting. I can’t wait until you leave office.

Priceless.

Unfortunately Medicaid coverage is set by the administration that’s doing this. And hep B vaccine is giving immediately after the newborn is delivered, not normally at the first pediatrician visit

A bit problem is that the very families who most need the shot at birth might be less likely to ask about it and might also lose Medicaid or other insurance coverage for it.

Cassidy suggests HHS is anti-science ahead of hepatitis B meeting - Roll Call Sen. Bill Cassidy said federal health officials might be biased agains science.

When asked on Wednesday why the panel would target the Hep B vaccine, Cassidy said of Kennedy’s HHS: “The best I can tell is that they have a prejudice against science. That’s the best I can tell.”

Umm...thanks, Bill. Any thoughts on why we are in this mess?

CDC Updates Website To Promote Debunked Theory On Vaccines And Autism “DO NOT TRUST THIS AGENCY. This is a national embarrassment,” said ex-CDC vaccines chief Dr. Demetre Daskalakis.

Most Americans want science to govern our public health policy. Not crackpot ideas.

This move marks a dire turning point for the CDC that the next Congress and administration must correct ASAP.

Today we woke up to our public health allies telling the public that they can't trust CDC anymore More than a little demoralizing Because it's complicated The actual scientists at CDC - the ones you should trust - are not in control of public-facing webpages The conspiracy theorists are running the messaging And yet, most of us scientists... are still doing good science It's just not making it out We're still supporting local health departments We're still running our disease surveillance systems We're still on call for emergencies 24/7 Despite intense staffing shortages from multiple waves of RIFs And chronically being under-resourced Those of us left are still working hard to keep everything going We are proud of our mission And we persist, goddammit Yet We can also say... read the CDC webpages with skepticism Don't treat them as the gold standard. Corroborate the information with other trusted, independent sources. Many are still fine, but even we don't know when the political appointees are going to change their content And this is a painful thing for us to say So we just ask that, if you read or say "Don't trust the CDC!" You remember that we're here still trying to serve the nation, throw sand in the gears, and weather the storm

Hard day today
Here's what we think about trusting CDC

Paying federal workers and undoing the October RIFs are included in the deal

The vast majority, INCLUDING SCHUMER, are against this "deal". Focus your fire, and ire, on the few doing this

Schumer voted no

Programs that keep Americans healthy, safe, & secure are being destroyed. Even if you don’t see it, public health is working in the background to protect all Americans. Public health is non-partisan, but it is being used to fight a political battle and promote agendas.

Thank you so much, Dr. Houry. Keep speaking out and fighting. You are one of our public health heroes.
