Access is blocked to USAID-PEPFAR's "Rapid Site-Level Health Workforce Assessment Tool" and its accompanying "Database". It used to be available from hrh2030program.org/pepfar_tool/
Would anyone have a copy of the tool & database, that they could share for use with my MPH students? #publicHealth

Technology initially promised to solve real problems. As too many competing "solutions" emerged, they invented problems to address. Eventually, they realized locking users into proprietary ecosystems & generating constant demand for IT support over poorly designed systems would sustain profits.
Please consider donating to a charity this year, in place of gift-giving.
Here is one wonderful organization that provides bikes for children.
Please consider finding an organization to give to instead of buying gifts, if possible. Good for the soul and the environment!

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.
BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

"If the FDA says raw milk is now legal and the CDC comes through and says it advises drinking raw milk, that's a recipe for mass infection," said Angela Rasmussen, a virologist and co-editor-in-chief of the medical journal Vaccine and an adjunct professor at Stony Brook University in New York."
"Pragmatic Progressive" is a label I willingly embrace
"These funding cuts will make the US — and the world — more vulnerable to disease outbreaks and less able to treat chronic illnesses.
Just imagine the countless lives that we could save if we funded science and made sure this technology was continued to be supported."

Democrats voted unanimously to ban gerrymandering.
MAGAs voted unanimously to allow gerrymandering.
Democrats voted unanimously for the Voting Rights Act.
MAGAs voted unanimously against the Voting Rights Act.
If MAGAs could win elections on ideas they wouldn't be banning fair elections altogether

Excess firearm deaths among children between 2011 and 2023 States with the most permissive laws: 6,029 States with permissive laws: 1,424 States with strict laws: -55 Graph shows Mortality Difference in Observed vs Expected Deaths. States that enacted permissive and the most permissive gun laws after the McDonald v Chicago U.S. Supreme Court decision says the 2nd Amendment applies to state and local governments went up. States that kept strict gun laws stayed steady. Source: Faust. The Effect of Firearm Laws on Pediatric Mortality in the US. JAMA Pediatr.

In 2010, the Supreme Court decided the Second Amendment applies to state and local governments, allowing states to enact more permissive gun laws.
Since then, there have been 6,000+ excess firearm deaths among children in states with the most permissive gun laws, according to a new study.

You may remember the fake journal (Journal ot the Academy of Public Health) that the NIH Director and FDA Commissioner were both editors for.
George Tidmarsh was the Board Chair. His son, Charlie (who worked for RealClear), was the Executive Editor.
