Thank you Ben of Ben and Jerry’s for speaking up today! #RFKMustResign. “Ben was among several people removed from Kennedy’s Senate hearing. “I told Congress they’re killing poor kids in Gaza by buying bombs, and they’re paying for it by kicking poor kids off Medicaid in the US.”
Text reads, “Ben & Jerry’s co-founder Ben Cohen was among several people removed from Kennedy’s Senate hearing. Cohen said in a post on X, “I told Congress they’re killing poor kids in Gaza by buying bombs, and they’re paying for it by kicking poor kids off Medicaid in the US.” Here are the takeaways: Kennedy defends Medicaid, HHS cuts Kennedy told lawmakers that he would “shift funding from bureaucracy to direct impact,” arguing that a bloated system was harming public health.”

Perhaps it’s time to refuse to pay federal taxes until these illegal decisions end and the current administration pulls back on illegal actions.

This is the type of person that is likely to head up NIH this week. These are the worst of times in medical sciences.

The #socialdeterminantsofhealth #SDOH matter and policymakers must address them and resolve the wrong pockets issues in order to ensure better health outcomes after a hospitalization. Read more about my findings here: bmjpublichealth.bmj.com/content/3/1/...
Image shows a white colored background, blue line at the top with text, "Original research" and left corner a blue square with white text, "BMJ Public Health," and text at top reads, "Cohort study examining social determinants of health and their association with mortality among hospitalised adults in New York and California." Text in middle lists authors names, "Andrew Wang, Dustin French, Bernard Black, Abel N Kho." More text at the bottom left mentions how to cite, "To cite: Wang A, French D, Black B, Kho AN. Cohort study examining social determinants of health and their association with mortality among hospitalised adults in New York and California. BMJ Public Health 2025;3:e001266. doi:10.1136/bmjph-2024-001266". Middle bottom reads, “abstract” and middle bottom right reads, “what is already known on this topic.”

I really appreciate the advocacy by many groups this week during #LongCovidAwarenesaDay.
A teal graphic with an image of a healthcare professional preparing a syringe in the background. White text states: "Long COVID is not vaccine injury. Long COVID occurs after a COVID-19 infection. Both conditions deserve attention and support. Conflation harms both." The Long COVID Awareness ribbon and C19LAP logo are at the bottom.

There is still a chance the vote for RFK jr could fail. Please call your senators and send them letters by tomorrow morning, January 13: actionnetwork.org/letters/voteno…. A vote for RFK jr is a vote to destroy public health.

Terrible. The CDC hicpac just formally voted on a recommendation against using N95 respirators for diseases spread in the air. Only one member supported N95 respirators for diseases spread in the air! The overall committee has made the most despicable decision today.
