The #PEPFAR tracker is following the real time impact of each passing day of the funding suspensions spurred by the USAID funding freeze. Although there is a waiver to allow dispersion of ART, this is not happening because clinic workers have been laid off. People are dying.

Just a reminder that in 2019, RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine misinformation campaign helped cause a measles outbreak in Samoa that killed 83 people, mostly kids.

Do you really want him to lead the Department of Health and Human Services?

Hey Bluesky, I am excited by all the energy coalescing on this platform. It seems like a place for strategic thinking, which we badly need.

Just finished listening to Pathogenesis by John Kennedy, and it was amazing. Any similar reads you’d suggest?

Hi everyone! I’m excited to be on such a cool platform with some incredible people. My name is Amiah, and I am a recent MPH grad (2023). I’m interested in learning about public health interventions in humanitarian settings and emergencies, but I also enjoy public health research/news in general. 1/2

At least 350 transgender and gender-diverse people have been murdered over the past year, according to the Trans Murder Monitoring Project.

This Trans Day of Remembrance should serve as a rallying cry for vigilance, protection, and action.

As an epidemiologist, I cannot stress enough how much you all need to heed this warning.

- shingles (for the elderly)
- pneumonia updates
- flu
- COVID boosters (which I do 2x a year b/c insurance pays for me)
- HPV (which prevents CANCER in men and women)

They’re talking about banning vaccines.
