I have known Tony Fauci for 45 years, watching him guide America through every major health crisis from AIDS to COVID. Serving presidents of both parties with absolute integrity, he represents the very best of public service. Tony is a national treasure—he deserves our gratitude, not our politics.

RFK upholds Hantavirus quarantine despite an independent medical review recommending voluntary home monitoring. It’s a shocking disregard for both science and personal freedom. So, all the talk about “medical freedom” & harsh criticism of the COVID response were just a a sham.

CDC is quarantining Angela Perryman, a Hondius passenger exposed to hantavirus b/c FL refuses 24/7 monitoring. Her liberty should not hinge on a battle between the CDC and the state. CDC has no evidence that she would violate home quarantine. She poses no risk to the public.

The NBA’s partnership with the UAE is laundering the reputation of a regime that supports a militia responsible for mass atrocities in Sudan.

I welcome CDC’s model estimates on Ebola, which reminds me of CDC’s catalytic role during the West African epidemic. But there’s a major disconnect. CDC says the outbreak will escalate without testing, tracing & isolation. Yet CDC is doing very little to make that happen

It’s impossible to set up a high quality clinic in Kenya for a complex & lethal disease like Ebola. Ebola patients won’t get good care, risking citizens’ lives. Staff won’t have the training to protect themselves and their patients. It’s unprecedented, reckless & unethical

Interesting conversation today w/ Peter Piot at WHA Geneva. Peter discovered the Ebola virus in 1976 & he shares my concerns of a devastating outbreak, w/ probable undetected cases in March We're both working on Health Sovereignty to enhance R&D, regulatory & response capacities

CDC issued quarantine orders for 2 passengers in Nebraska exposed to hantavirus. One passenger is challenging the order CDC quarantine orders are rare In May 2005, CDC quarantined Andrew Speaker for suspected XDR TB In Jan 2020, CDC quarantined 195 US citizens repatriated from Wuhan

Makary's legacy at the FDA will be the abandonment of gold standard science. He allowed political interference into core agency functions. On vaccines & mifepristone, Makary rarely prioritized rigorous evidence. His one stand for high-quality science—on flavored vapes—cost him his job

Opinion | The hantavirus outbreak is a warning the world cannot ignore

The virus will not be another covid-19. But it does show how unprepared the world remains.

The hantavirus outbreak is a stress test for WHO's IHR. Cape Verde should allow disembarkation if it has capacity The IHR requires a risk assessment, and there is no risk to the local pop. This happened during COVID & it's why the IHR were amended. We haven't learned our lesson

The CDC cancels MMWR study showing COVID reduces hospitalizations. Clearly Sec Kennedy’s “radical transparency” is just a slogan. Jay Bhattacharya sees method flaws but peer reviewers found the study rigorous. That’s political interference in science

Erica Schwartz is a credible CDC director. But she’ll need assurances against political interference & ongoing attacks on science The signs are not good. RFK may impose a leadership team & senior CDC officials are extreme MAHA advocates ACIP is destroyed & USPSTF is next.

ACIP's new charter seems innocuous but focuses on vaccine adverse events. Sec Kennedy's anti-vax advocacy has always implied that CDC hides vaccine injuries but vaccines are studied extensively & are safe & effective. Instead of promoting vaccines, RFK, Jr is sowing doubt

. RFKJr is hosting a podcast. He wants to be "Influencer in Chief." He can enter an evidence-free zone on vaccines, raw milk & red meat. It's unprecedented. He uses the HHS label to peddle false info. HHS used to be a safe harbor for reliable info. Not any more. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
