He’s had a lot of legendary ones, but this is perhaps the best post by Dr. Sax I’ve read. Heartbreaking though it is at times.
"What’s it like to have lived through both HIV and COVID as an ID doctor?"

The head of HHS said he’d preserve ACIP. Then he fired the entire committee.
Now a new panel -- with mostly unclear expertise in clinical trials, vaccines, and ID -- is in place. Time for high alert for changes that could seriously affect public health. #IDSky blogs.jwatch.org/hiv-id-obser...
