Dr. @angierasmussen.bsky.social breaking down current policies and the anti-vaccine trends/rhetoric within the US that will lead to significant global health ramifications - #19vaccinecongress

Learning from my favorite expert on infodemiology & public health @jessicamalaty.bsky.social at the #19VaccineCongress - discussing risk and creating healthier information ecosystems

How to Wreck the Nation’s Health, by the Numbers www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Organizing my office and came across this gem- the @centerforhealthsecurity.org 2017 ELBI coin ☣️💪🏻

Can’t wait to read the latest from @adamjkucharski.bsky.social - the timing of this…chef’s kiss.

Val Kilmer was an extraordinary actor & 100% love the OG films like Tombstone & Heat (my top fav), Top Gun, Willow, etc., but there are also a ton of lesser-recognized ones that are great: Kiss, Kiss, Bang Bang, Real Genius, Deja Vu, Spartan, The Saint, Ghost & the Darkness, True Romance, etc

If we’re talking about an H5N1 response policy based on “letting the disease go through them and identify the birds that survive”, then we also need to address the massive biosecurity risk to those involved in clean-up/culling (aka more human exposures/cases)…. www.cdc.gov/bird-flu/sit...

Just a friendly reminder that peddling anti-vaccine messaging sprinkled with a side of “there are benefits to getting measles!” is not only disingenuous, inaccurate, misleading, but also dangerous. Texas is experiencing a significant outbreak of measles - please get vaccinated.

It truly breaks my heart that after we went through COVID, the burnt out OG public health workforce *and* new grads/early career folks who went into it all bc they saw how vital it was during a pandemic, are now being fired, losing their funding, & ultimately shown how little our field is valued

Hey, so this is not only wildly inaccurate, but a seriously dangerous accusation. The US has a robust biodefense infrastructure, including vaccine development, biosurveillance, and healthcare resilience. We don’t fund the development of bioweapons - that would violate the BWC.

The back of a food menu with a whole lotta meaning right now 👇🏻

This level of inaccuracy, cruelty, and short-sightedness is breathtaking

Mood:

More and more cancelled - now the meeting for Presidential Advisory Council for combatting AMR 👇🏻

We filmed a lot in Morocco & had an amazing local crew, who worked hard to keep refreshing masks in the heat. Easily one of my favorite experiences was chatting with Laura Dern about her role in Jurassic Park & how much it meant to little girls to see a scientist not overly sexualized. (1/2)

These kinds of allegations are not only deeply inaccurate, but dangerous.

So my Monday morning vibes… pop dad rock 😂

Just an infectious disease epi nerding out at the airport CDC outbreak alerts ☣️

Starting this adventure off with some non-Biodefense stuff. Here’s some bts of Extraction 2 in early 2022. Taking a break in between testing and contacting tracing.
