"Doctors didn’t realize until the young mother had been admitted and in labor that she was infected with the #measles." Might be worth digging around for your infection control protocols #IDSky #MedSky + #ObGynSky. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

On this day in 1981, a landmark paper in NEJM described four patients with evidence of immunodeficiency associated with PJP pneumonia, disseminated CMV, and Kaposi sarcoma. The disease would come to be known as HIV/AIDS. Revisit the paper: nej.md/41iekKD #MedSky #IDSky

Fluoridated water 1)Reduces tooth decay by ~25% in kids and adults. 2) For every $1 spent, communities save up to $38 in dental costs. 3) Benefits everyone, regardless of income or access to dental care. 4) Over 75 years of research shows it’s effective and harmless. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

Florida health official advises communities to stop adding fluoride to drinking water

Florida's surgeon general, Dr. Joseph Ladapo, cited developmental concerns from higher levels of fluoride than are found in most U.S. water supplies.

I shared the data below because RFK Jr. thinks that NIH focuses too much on infectious disease and not enough on chronic disease. Depending on how you count, less than 10% of NIH's budget goes to infectious disease, while the lion's share goes toward chronic disease.

Linsey Marr@linseymarr.bsky.social · 2y ago

How much NIH funding goes toward infectious vs. chronic disease? If I assign NIAID's (Allergy and Infectious Disease) budget as infectious, even though allergies are chronic, then it's 9%. Other institutes are general or mainly chronic. officeofbudget.od.nih.gov/br.html
