I was at the Children's Health Defense conference last weekend. While there I sat down with Bret Weinstein, Pierre Kory, and @drmarkreports.bsky.social for a wide-ranging and respectful conversation. We didn't agree on everything. But we need more of this. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/l...

I joined Dr. Mandy Cohen, @brindabee.bsky.social and the team at @whyshoulditrustyou.bsky.social podcast to talk about why a strong CDC matters — not just for infectious diseases, but for the full range of health threats we face every day. Grateful for the thoughtful conversation. Listen here:

In addition to proposing the largest cut to Medicaid in history, the reconciliation bill quietly kneecaps the ACA marketplaces. Not with one or two big cuts, but with a bunch of smaller tweaks that, in self-reinforcing ways, make it harder to get and stay enrollled in marketplace coverage.

The Sleeper Provision in the Reconciliation Bill That Could Hobble the ACA Marketplaces

An obscure provision in the U.S. House reconciliation bill could have major consequences for the Affordable Care Act Marketplaces. In a guest post for CHIRblog, the Urban Institute's Jason Levitis and...

At a time of intense turbulence and uncertainty for public health, I highly encourage everyone to listen to the ‘Why Should I Trust You?’ podcast. Just a few weeks ago, the host @brindabee.bsky.social invited myself and other public health voices to a call with MAHA members in Ohio 🧵

Dr. Peter Marks, recently pushed out of FDA, told us he believes the measles outbreak is being underreported. He says the case count is likely 3-7x higher, saying we could actually have as many as 3,000 cases. Yesterday, Sec'y Kennedy said we had 600+ cases and the outbreak was under control.

@mcuban.bsky.social please see. This health director is literally running a program in direct alignment w MAHA. Why has it been cut?

Brinda Adhikari@brindabee.bsky.social · 2y ago

This is Dr Mati from the St Louis DOH. She told me cuts have eliminated a nutrition program for lower-income kids in St. Louis. She is pleading with @SecKennedy to reverse course. She believes in MAHA and says this is the opposite of that. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcwD...

An epidemiologist friend who is in East Africa doing malaria work just took this photo and sent it to me. Is this who we wanted to fill in the gaps left by a missing USAID apparatus? Fix the right problems. Don’t create new ones.
