Our state and local departments of health save lives too
Make America Healthy Again? We need our robust public health infrastructure to help with that.
🗓️ June 5, 1981: five cases of Pneumocystis Pneumonia, one report, a global awakening.
💙 The MMWR gave voice to what became the HIV/AIDS epidemic—and countless public-health moments since.
🕯️ Honoring the science and reporting that save lives.

Still awful.

Yes yes absolutely correct!
And this is also why we need our MMWR - not just #altCDC trying to cram everything into less than 300 characters!

I cannot”hear” something that breaks my heart. I am truly sorry you and your colleagues have to endure this. Plz know, more people value #CDCsaveslives then there are MAGATs & MAHAs.
Pictures from Sept 4, 2025 hearing text on images For the first time we are seeing deaths in children from measles. We haven't seen that in two decades. We are seeing that under your watch.. You are a hazard to the health of the American people and I think that you ought to resign. Set Rev Warnock said to RFK Jr RFK Jr's response glug, glug, glug drinking glass of water.
We agree @warnock.senate.gov! GA representing!
Sec HHS RFK Jr is a hazard to all Americans & needs to resign before he does anymore damage.
Call reps & demand removal of RFK Jr. The 5 calls app can help with numbers & talking points.

Their ongoing dedication is a model for all of us" - Former CDC directors

Thanks to the anon CDC-er who created this graphic. 😉

CDC & HHS leadership *must* clearly condemn vaccine disinformation that fuels violence and erodes public trust.
Science and truth save lives. 🔬

It’s Fed Worker Friday! 🤗
Opioid overdose prevention. Covid-19. Tobacco control. Public health comms.
…Yeah, apparently CDC doesn’t need any of that expertise. 🙄
We miss you, Aryn! And CDC needs you back.

This work is slow, exhausting — and still meaningful.
Some of us are still here, doing what it takes to get good science out the door.
And we haven’t forgotten the colleagues who were forced out along the way. 💚💚

📄📚 Got something exciting in press?
Let us know — we’re happy to hold off until the embargo lifts. We take confidentiality seriously - we kind of have to: we’re #altCDC and still work at CDC.
We’re here to make sure your science doesn’t get sidelined.

📣 This Thursday, the Senate Appropriations Committee will mark up the draft FY 2026 budget for Health and Human Services — which includes the CDC.
It’s a wonky but pivotal moment where senators can shape, cut, or save key public health programs. 🧬🗳️

Celebrating our amazing colleague. ✨

👀Watch Senator @ossoff.bsky.social stick it to Russell Vought, Director of OMB.
🔥Sen Ossoff does not take any of Vought's lip.💋

👏 to FBF volunteers for educating Sen Ossoff & his staff on cuts to public health & CDC that Vought has orchestrated.
Image of a text box titled "Ten Great Public Health Achievements — United States, 1900–1999." The list includes: Vaccination Motor-vehicle safety Safer workplaces Control of infectious diseases Decline in deaths from coronary heart disease and stroke Safer and healthier foods Healthier mothers and babies Family planning Fluoridation of drinking water Recognition of tobacco use as a health hazard
CDC once published this list: Top 10 Public Health Achievements of the 20th Century.
Vaccination. Flouridation of drinking water. Healthier moms and babies.
Glad to see we’re… chipping away at it?
What’s next — bringing back smoking in the office?🚬

DOGE eliminated the CDC Office on Smoking & Health. This blocks the State Tobacco Control grant program that saves lives in every state. Payback for Big Tobacco's huge campaign $s to Trump. Thank you @drtomfrieden.bsky.social for fighting for public health and CDC. #CDCsaveslives #saveCDC
Our team of CDC'ers and public health supporters, thought this moment was notable, too! We are proud to have you, @drtomfrieden.bsky.social, with us in the fight for public health and CDC. #CDCsaveslives #saveCDC
Yep, RFKJr is going to make sure there is more of it. #SaveOurServices #CDCSavesLives
