I stand with the AMA and strongly oppose the decision by the CDC to end the universal birth-dose of the Hepatitis B vaccine for all newborns. This undercuts a proven strategy that has, for decades, protected infants from a virus that can cause chronic liver disease, cancer, and death.
The Chicago-based American Medical Association is blasting a federal vaccine advisory committee’s decision Friday to no longer recommend that all babies get the hepatitis B vaccine when they’re born.
Chicago-based American Medical Association slams committee’s hepatitis B vaccine recommendations
The government has long advised that babies be vaccinated against hepatitis B right after birth to prevent serious liver damage that can be caused by the infection.

This World AIDS Day, we remember the hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers lost to HIV and AIDS, and those living with HIV today. We must remind ourselves and each other that the fight isn’t over until the epidemic is over for everyone.

National public health “leadership” (hi RFK Jr 🙄) keeps poisoning public health with lies.

Vaccines prevent needless childhood deaths.

No baby in America should be dying of whooping cough — not when we have safe, effective vaccines literally ready to go.

This is a national tragedy

Capitalism making you want to shop?

The CDC Mutual Aid Network has a great shop and all proceeds help CDC workers in need.

The team at altCDC knows the folks at CDCMAN (and can vouch for them) but receive no money from them.

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

🧵 1/3 Anyone else notice that Vaccines.gov the federal vaccine locator is just… broken?

And honestly, would any of us be shocked if it never comes back, given that HHS took it over from CDC this summer?

CDC Quietly Turned Off Its Vaccine Search Tool. It’s Not Clear When It’s Coming Back.
“I have heard that they are planning to ‘update it’ and shudder to think what that will mean,” Demetre Daskalakis, a former member of CDC leadership, told NOTUS.

DOGE is dead- and - thanks to cutting USAID so are some 600,000 of the world’s poorest people- mostly children. Also about a thousand Americans have lost their jobs

DOGE has dismantled most of our government departments- and stolen all our personal information

The Church of Latter Day Saints protects sexual predators & has allowed children to continue to be abused for years. They have had a hand in injuring so many. Their “help” line is staffed by lawyers to protect the church.

Thank you Heather Gay & those who told their stories.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

This Veterans Day, I’m thinking of the millions of Americans who have served in uniform — and how our government is failing them right now.

Words aren’t enough, we need actions. Fund the VA. Fund mental healthcare. And end endless wars.

If you don’t know Lina Khan, now is a great time to know about her. She’s now on Zohran Mamdani’s transition team. She’s also the former FTC Chair, only 36, & committed to leveling the playing field for everyday Americans. She is an absolute star. This is what hope feels like.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

As Pritzker said, they don't need the national guard here - home grown troopers are perfectly happy to beat, brutalize and suppress protesters, clergy, and people of conscience!
Everything that just happened was both brutal and expected given how we've seen ISP behave these last few weeks.

Saw troopers striking people with batons, dragging protesters. They're currently cuffing someone marked as a medic. Approximately nine people we see in state custody now.
