Fantastic article by Courtenay Harris Bond of @phillyvoice.com about PPP's Sana Clinic, which provides personalized, wraparound care for people living with HIV. Special thanks to Dr. @jessmeisner.bsky.social + patient Mark Knox for sharing their knowledge and experience for the piece.

All patients who get shots of antiretroviral medication at Prevention Point's Sana Clinic now have undetected levels of the virus. They're also getting treatment for other ailments.

The abrupt terminations of more than 1,000 employees, including new Epidemic Intelligence Officers, across CDC are deeply disturbing. For more than 70 years, EIS officers have served on America’s front line as its disease detectives, ready at a moment’s notice to respond to emerging outbreaks.

Imagine if university presidents instead of cowering, called up their faculty too speak in a round-the-clock marathon across the nation about how their research serves every American who has ever faced illness and disease.

Congratulations to Dr. Arianne Morrison on receipt of a CFAR pilot grant for her project entitled, "Barriers and Facilitators of PrEP Uptake and PrEP Coverage among US People Assigned Female at Birth!” This study will increase knowledge that will help advance public health and PrEP access!

🧵 When Medicine and Science Ignores Diversity, People Die. 1/ Ignoring diversity in medicine and science is deadly. From unethical experiments to life-threatening misdiagnoses, history is replete with examples of how neglecting race, gender, and identity costs lives. A thread of concrete examples.

Disappointed to see Senator Bill Cassidy, a fellow physician, vote to confirm RFK Jr. This isn’t about politics. It’s about public trust in science, medicine, and the people we entrust with leadership. We need representatives who stand up for facts, not conspiracy theories.

Today is Retraction Day, when we observe the anniversary of the retraction (Feb. 2, 2010) of the fraudulent paper that purported to show a link between vaccines and autism. 🧪#medsky

This is the front page of a fraudulent research article that purported to show a link between vaccines and autism. The word "RETRACTED" is written across it in large red letters. Wikipedia: On 28th February 1998, a fraudulent research paper by physician Andrew Wakefield and twelve coauthors, titled "Ileal-Lymphoid-Nodular Hyperplasia, Non-Specific Colitis, and Pervasive Developmental Disorder in Children", was published in the British medical journal The Lancet.[1] The paper falsely claimed causative links between the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine and colitis and between colitis and autism. The fraud involved data selection, data manipulation, and two undisclosed conflicts of interest.

@idsainfo.bsky.social needs to take action and help guide us. This is unacceptable and horrifying

Ilan Schwartz@germhuntermd.bsky.social · 2y ago

@idsainfo.bsky.social : We & the American public need your leadership Urging members to write congressional representatives + behind-the-scenes quiet diplomacy is inadequate You must put out a strong, unequivocal statement condemning the assault on public health happening before our eyes 1/2

The CDC ordered to stop working with WHO immediately. The policy applied to all CDC staff engaging with WHO “through technical working groups, coordinating centers, advisory boards, cooperative agreements or other means — in person or virtual.” What’s the end game here?? #BlueSky  #MedSky 🧪

CDC ordered to stop working with WHO immediately, upending expectations of an extended withdrawal

U.S. public health officials have been told to stop working with the World Health Organization, effective immediately. The surprise decision is focused on the U.S.

New: Trump officials have paused all external communications at health agencies like CDC, FDA, NIH. No health alerts and the famed MMWRs; no updates to key websites or social media posts. And no indication how long the pause will last. With @rachelroubein.bsky.social + Lena Sun.
