The cruelty is the point.

This is in no way meant to diminish heroic efforts all over the US to keep people fed. But let's be clear, this is a crisis on top of multiple crises. It's painful to watch us repeat mistakes of the past 5 years while simultaneously dismantling all the systems that were built.

Thank you 😊

Amazing! I agree, mitigation definitely works and is worth it. Doing well, and glad to be connected here. 😊

Don't get me wrong, I frequently disagreed with things I heard in prior ACIP meetings, but at least we were all working with data and facts. Watching unqualified people make decisions for the country based on feelings, hunches, vibes & ideology is an excruciating waste of time.

The US is willingly relinquishing its role as a global leader in science & innovation. Others will step in.

“Our government is building a resilient, forward-looking economy that positions Canada as a global leader in scientific research and innovation...”

I think it's a bit more complicated than that. Homelessness is typically a regional issue, and there are often insufficient low-barrier points of access to compassionate, effective care.

Physicians: Continue supporting patients with sound guidance & empathy

"...And each of us must do what public health does best: look out for one another." 🙏🏾

"...we did not always agree with our leaders, but they never gave us reason to doubt that they would rely on data-driven insights for our protection or that they would support public health workers." They cited Operation Warp Speed as a "shining example" of what HHS can do.

HHS initial cuts canceled nearly 700 CDC grants worth about $11 billion. Now, of the 5 states with the most canceled grants, 4 are republican-led: Texas, Georgia, Oklahoma, and Ohio.
