PEPFAR is one of the most successful global health programs ever
It provides HIV treatment for 20 million people
And now it faces a funding delay of up to 6 months
Without access to treatment, HIV can rebound in less than a month.
This is self-defeating stupidity. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/24/u...

Like it’s just actually evil at this point
This is happening to thousands of people fighting for their lives because in real life, government does a lot of good and important shit.

I’m not surprised but it just shouldn’t be this easy for a single bad actor to single-handedly end decades of good will and groundbreaking work in the areas of public health and foreign policy
This will kill so many people living with HIV who depend on PEPFAR programs to stay on their HIV treatment driving further HIV drug resistance.

Hi #idsky friends anyone have recommendations for good review resources for ID topics that isn’t sketchy? Asking both for myself as a rising fellow but also as something I can recommend to my students to help them learn antibiotics and ID illness scripts that isn’t rote memorization

2s google search. Polio kills people and we are so close to eradicating the virus worldwide. There a many reasons for the explosive growth of cancers today and vaccines are very low in my differential. This is fearmongering that will get people killed

Primary care is already significantly handicapped by insurance limitations and the fact we focus on the sequelae of poor prevention is very much part of why we spend too much on healthcare. Risk mitigation is just as important if not more so than reactive spending.
“Insurance should cover cancer and car accidents but not preventative care” is a debate we had in 2008 and the right lost it decisively.
If DOGE’s best idea on healthcare is tripling the cost of your annual welfare visits, they’re more inept and intellectually bankrupt than I thought.

I had a patient I admitted in residency who had half his face missing after 3 years of being denied by insurance to remove a basal cell carcinoma he had been diagnosed with when it was just a small papule. I don’t condone murder, but I also don’t condone insurance companies

THIS IS HUGE! An HIV PrEP drug candidate in the form of a twice-yearly subcutaneous injection has been shown to reduce HIV infections by 96% in a SECOND late-stage Phase III trial. Lenacapavir was 99.9% effective at preventing HIV in MORE THAN 2,000 participants. Let’s talk about that! 🧪🧵⬇️

I’m so looking forward to the well thought out global policy changes we should see over the next 4 years. Shameful
Trump will reinstate the Global Gag Rule
Project 2025 wants a very extreme version
This will kill people
Reinstating the rule from 2017-2021 "increased the number of maternal & child deaths by about 27,000 per year" and led to an estimated 360,000 new HIV infections
