The current ACIP is not a credible committee. It pains me to say this, but do NOT listen to them for guidance on vaccines. I am an infectious disease doc and will be roundly ignoring their misinformed and anti-scientific guidelines.
Yesterday's spectacle was an insult to vaccinology and science.

It is absolutely wild that the person in charge of health in America has be roundly condemned and labeled as dangerous by:
- Former CDC directors
- Former Surgeons General
- Multiple medical professional societies
- Health professionals across multiple platforms
And still holds his position.

They recovered over 180 bullet shells at the CDC. Debris from shattered glass is still being cleaned up. I am completely stunned at how quickly the news cycle has moved on. This was an act of terrorism targeting public health experts, and the response seems to be a collective shrug.

This is what happens when public health and science is villainized. It places a target on the backs of people just trying to help.
“The shooter was either sick or believed he was sick, and blamed his illness on COVID vaccine — which is why he was targeting the CDC.”

Effectiveness of an Embedded Infectious Disease Screening, Treatment and Prevention Intervention within an Inpatient Substance Use Treatment Program
People with substance use disorders (SUD) are at higher risk for infectious diseases (ID). Co-locating ID screening services within inpatient SUD treatment programs may decrease barriers to care; however, the impact of such screening has not been evaluated.
