First and only? Can’t be such a stickler as to ignore the PIVOTAL trial.
PIVOTAL trial effect estimate on all-cause mortality HR 0.84 (95% CI 0.71 to 1)

I do think expecting anything to improve all-cause mortality in ESRD is probably unwise.

Pete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folks…

“The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.” @petebuttigieg.bsky.social

Our problem: too many value uniformity over inclusion and they’re the ones running the government.

Ugh

Dr Jayme Locke (you may know from the XenoTransplant story) hired from UAB to fix the transplant system (that is abysmally awful if you have followed @sumitmohan.bsky.social )

But she was ‘probabtionary’ so DOGE fired her 🤦🏽‍♂️

@wsj.com story on 🍎 News $wall apple.news/Ans49CVgKQy-...

#NephSky
After facing years of bipartisan criticism from Congress, the Department of Health and Human Services late last year hired a transplant surgeon to help implement fixes to the system that regulates organ transplants.  Dr. Jayme Locke, who left her post at the University of Alabama Birmingham for the federal job, was recently fired as a probationary worker. Transplant experts had hoped she would preside over a new era of making improvements instead of just studying them. Dr. Locke declined to comment. HHS didn’t respond to a request for comment.

I learned that around 3 million military connected kids- largely children of veterans who have left the service are dependent on Medicaid. This breaks my heart both at the threat to their healthcare access and the fact that we clearly need to do more to help veterans make this transition

Rubio terminated 5800 USAID contracts – more than 90% of its foreign aid programs – in defiance of the courts.

Here’s a list of just some of the lifesaving awards that were terminated. Nearly all were Congressionally mandated. They’ve saved millions of lives. 🧵
