My latest editorial, in the Lancet, on how the Trump administration is affecting health outcomes. Understanding the true impact requires a wide-angle lens. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...
Cuts by the Trump administration hurt the labs that are researching future cures to deadly diseases and the scientists keeping us on the cutting edge of innovation.
Go to ProtectScienceAndInnovation.org and tell Congress to reject these funding cuts.
www.nytimes.com/interactive/... My latest in the New York Times. An attempt to warn the public that their health is about to get much worse.
A must-read from Jill + @shwoolf.bsky.social 👇
Word on the street is that big layoffs are occurring at HHS today (Friday afternoon), losing a large number at CDC, NIH, etc.
This is ridiculous. These web pages are meant for data and scientific updates. This is not a platform for politicians to spew ideology. Take this elsewhere please and let us concentrate on treating our patients.

How sad. A serious agency with serious leaders now taken over by ideologues. The scientists at FDA must be demoralized.

Now DOGE is going after our nation's best soirc of data on educational outcomes. I guess American schoolchildren are not a priority.
The White House statement shows its ignorance about what indirects are for.

Universities are reeling. Elon Musk’s allies are celebrating.
Looking at the major cut to federal research funding — which many scientists predict will be devastating
With @lenasun.bsky.social and Carolyn Johnson
It should not fall on a British journal to speak out about threats to science in the United States. Leading US medical journals, such as JAMA, the New England Journal of Medicine, and others should issue a joint statement in defense of scientific independence.

Censor CDC scientists and ask them to withdraw papers from medical journals?
This is not how it works, Mr President.

"We at the American Journal of Public Health have no interest in following the president's prohibitions on language," APHA's Georges Benjamin tells Medpage Today. "We will publish things under our guidelines, under our ethical principles." www.medpagetoday.com/special-repo... 🔥
Thank you @jocalynclark.bsky.social @kamranabbasi.bsky.social @bmj.com for standing up for science, evidence, and public health
Note to other science and health journals: this is what it looks like to show a spine when science is under attack
Just published this morning in JAMA, on how medicine and public health should respond to the new administration. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...
The CDC web pages for the Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) has gone dark. It provided extensive data on the physical and mental youth, including LGBTQ+ youth. Alarming statistics on the poor mental health of trans youth. It's all gone, at least for now. See yrbs-explorer.services.cdc.gov

RFK Jr, on 2nd day of testimony, again claims (inexplicably) that there was no treatment for chronic disease when John F Kennedy was present. This is absurd. Does he think doctors in 1960 weren't treating heart disease, cancer, etc? Someone this ignorant has no business being head of HHS. #STOPRFK
It was indeed a disturbing day but glad to have been with you for the experience. Thanks for looking after me.
Literally, let's get anybody else.
Asked how he will make America healthier, RFK says the food supply is problem #1. It's important, but what about tobacco use, physical inactivity, guns, and other leading causes of death. This is environmental lawyer is preoccupied with toxins,l. HHS secy needs a broader understanding of the issue.
RFK incorrectly claims that NIH is preoccupied with infectious diseases (this will come as a surprise to NCI and NHLBI) and "does nothing" to address chronic diseases. This is blatantly false. Anyone who knows anything about NIH would know this. This man is not qualified to be HHS secy.
RFK Jr just intimated that smokers don't have a right to health care. Health is a human right. #stoprfk
