Federal Health Data Are Back Online, but Physicians Remain Skeptical “There are things that I trust and things that I don’t trust anymore... We want to be able to rely on and trust the guidelines and the data that’s available to us.” - Elle Saine, MD, PhD, MA & DFA Leader

Federal Health Data Are Back Online; Docs Still Skeptical

Information has been restored after the federal government took health information and data websites offline last year — but some physicians say their trust is shaken.

We are witnessing a full blown war on science, public health & truth itself. Let me be clear: Vaccines have prevented more than 1.1 million deaths, 500 million cases of illness & 32 million hospitalizations. That's a lot of moms and dads who don't have to bury their children.

I was incredibly honored to receive the Penn ID Divisions Citizenship Award. It was made even more incredible to receive it alongside Dr. Florence Momplaisir, who has been a personal inspirations to me as a physician-scientist & advocate.

Secretary Kennedy has unilaterally gutted the transparent & evidence based panel that makes vaccine recommendations. As doctors, we rely on ACIP recommendations to guide patient care. He repeatedly undercuts trust & spreads misinformation & lies. He has no place in leadership or public health.

Thank you @by-cjewett.bsky.social @nytimes.com for chatting with me about this piece and my concerns that the priorities outlined by our national regulator read like PhRMA's own FDA playbook 👇 in calling for speedier reviews & less evidentiary rigor. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/10/h... #MedSky

This has profound implications for the practice of medicine. We need the guidance of the ACIP in order to advise our patients and importantly, get vaccines paid for. This is a unilateral decision-no public or expert input. If you belong to a medical association, like the AMA, demand they speak out.

The Department of Health & Human Services is gutting their staff. With about a quarter of the department missing, we don't even know yet the short term and long term effects for Americans. Watch #CareTalk w/ @elllebele.bsky.social @drsforamerica.bsky.social: youtube.com/live/AD8oAB2...

The FUTURE Of Healthcare In America Looks BLEAK Without Enough Staff

The Department of Health & Human Services is gutting their staff. With about a quarter of the department missing, we don't even know yet the short term and long term effects for Americans. HHS is responsible for running Medicare, Medicaid, the Centers for Disease Control, the Food & Drug Administration and much more. These staff help you get access to health care, make sure our food and drugs are safe to consume, track and fight diseases and much more.

Funding cuts don’t only hurt the researchers who spent their lives dedicated to science. They hurt everyone, especially patients who rely on the lifesaving therapies developed by this research.

the Reversal of Progress is exactly the theme that this administration is taking when it comes to science/health related issues,and data that has already been strongly proven. When people ask, then why do we get upset when people want to prove it again?It casts doubt, wastes resources, and time.
