"I’m deeply alarmed, and we should all be, that critical vaccine policy decisions are being made without scientific rigor, eroding public trust and endangering our nation’s health. The unjustified removal of the CDC director & sidelining of experts in favor of non-specialists is unprecedented. (1/3)

Before Saturday’s talk after Come From Away at Maui On Stage, I visited Lahaina to remember lives lost and the helpers from 2023 wildfires. Many parallels to 9/11 tragedy.
Also went to support the local Catholic Church and restaurant workers.

The United States has recorded its highest annual measles cases in 33 years. The milestone marks a public health reversal in defeating a highly contagious, vaccine-preventable disease as the anti-vaccine movement gains strength.
U.S. measles cases reach 33-year record high as outbreaks spread
