Actually, a measles outbreak IS an unusual occurrence. Especially in a country like the US, which had eliminated the disease thanks to vaccination until recently.

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

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.

Will scientists stand up and reject this? Or will they shrug and throw their hands up in the air?
Eliminating the words flagged from research and grants makes whatever is produced no longer research but rather propaganda aligned with the EO of POTUS.
Do not obey in advance!

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

I still don’t understand how a single person is able to do this in a country where bureaucracy exists for a reason. The United States government is designed for a single person, not to have too much power, however these bounds are being tested daily.
Gutting USAID while Marburg spreads in Tanzania, Sudan Ebola virus hits Uganda, and mpox remains a global emergency is a surefire way to enable outbreaks.
Remember the chaos when a single Ebola case reached the U.S.? These policies make it more likely thar something like that will happen again.

1998 Congress made #USAID an Independent agency. Today it does crucial work: AIDS drugs around the world, response to Ebola.
