In honor of World AIDS day, an opportunity to take action:

On #WorldAIDSDay we remember the incredible activism that turned the tide on this deadly epidemic in the past
I’m sad that funding cuts by G7 nations are making such activism necessary yet again

Team ID #meal-iodosis says they’ll take anyone who believes in vaccines so if that’s you, donate and log at HCWvsHunger.org

More than 44 million people have died of AIDS since it was first identified
Regardless of what the US administration says, we must honor and remember them
And pledge to do everything possible to prevent further infections and deaths

Awesome work by @mmadaio.bsky.social & team including @drelleneaton.bsky.social @monsikka.bsky.social. ✨
As national medical, scientific, public health and patient organizations, we call for the resignation of HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to ensure the health of the American people.
Our statement: https://bit.ly/45LeJHi
When 9 former CDC directors are ringing alarm bells about RFK and his dangerous policies, all of America must listen and act
Thanks to IAS-USA and Dr Mike Saag for a chance to talk about what’s new in substance use treatment- CDC funding cuts, bad batch alerts, & how to improve care in the hospital setting. Plus @kinnathakarar.bsky.social & CTN-0121 shoutouts!

We’re fighting to protect public health and vaccine access, and we need your voice. 🗣️
Tell Congress to fully fund federal ID programs for the upcoming fiscal year: idsociety.quorum.us/campaign/132...

🚨BREAKING: IDSA, along with AAP, APHA, ACP and others, has filed a lawsuit against HHS/Secretary Kennedy to stop unlawful changes to vaccine policy and defend public health.
We refuse to stand by while America’s public health safeguards are torn apart. bit.ly/4lm7UkW
Western countries that are cutting humanitarian aid to the poorest nations should be so ashamed
Staggering loss of compassion and solidarity
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
This is unprecedented. The AMA and other medical professional societies speak as one on respiratory virus vaccines and in their own way, say the Trump Administration cannot be trusted with your health. www.ama-assn.org/delivering-c...
"We will not stay silent."
IDSA President Tina Tan, MD, FIDSA, FPIDS, FAAP, joins @ameracadpeds.bsky.social, @acpimphysicians.bsky.social,
@acog.org, and @aafp.org in urging evidence-based vaccine recommendations. bit.ly/443ptQw
This is a travesty & a nightmare. The US was a founder of @gavi.org. It lowers global vaccine costs, has vaccinated 1B children, & averted 19M deaths. This pull out will cost 100s of thousands of children's lives a year - and RFK Jr will be personally responsible.

“Unilaterally removing an entire panel of experts is reckless, shortsighted and severely harmful.” -Dr. Tina Tan

Please speak up. Call your elected officials. Protest.
Demand that the ACIP be reinstated. Demand access to vaccines. Demand his resignation.
Demand that they actually follow the science.

Secretary Kennedy's announcement that COVID-19 vaccines will no longer be recommended for healthy children and pregnant women could reduce vaccine access for millions of Americans.

If you ever wonder how indiscriminate cuts affect your life, here's today's example. I consulted on a case of disseminated gonococcal infection. These isolates used to get automatically sent to cdc for testing and nationwide tracking. The lab was shut last month.

Lucky to have @nabarund.bsky.social return to Maine & discuss overdose death rates. This is a fragile time & we need to double down on public health efforts.
@stephen-murray.com you’re here in spirit 😊
Look who’s in Maine! #SafeSpot
Congrats to TUSM/Maine track student Eva Farkas for her research award re: examining the impact of inpatient addiction care in Maine. Another spoiler alert: MOUD prescribing and vaccination rates improved! Another reason why institutions should support addiction med clinicians. ✨
