@pedsaly.bsky.socialReposted by @platogue.bsky.socialโItโs a wholly unethical trial, and it shouldnโt be allowed,โ says Dr. Paul Offit. โIt saddens me to think that our country would in any way participate in a trial where half of the children would be receiving substandard care and thousands will be doomed to develop cirrhosis or liver cancer.โ

@brian-goldstone.bsky.socialReposted by @platogue.bsky.socialIt's actually not complicated. You end homelessness with safe, dignified housing people can afford.
@brian-goldstone.bsky.socialReposted by @platogue.bsky.socialIt's World Homeless Day, and I'll just say: Homelessness isn't some great unsolvable mystery. People are homeless because they don't have homes. This suffering persists not for lack of solutions, but because enormous wealth and power are invested in maintaining the very structures that produce it.

@gavinyamey.bsky.socialReposted by @platogue.bsky.socialThx to @bmj.com for commissioning me & my inspirational colleague @boghuma.bsky.social to write this piece on Republicans' shameful show trial of Dr Fauci
Sure, cursing at him & spouting kooky conspiracies got the MAGA base energized, but it will harm public health

@gavinyamey.bsky.socialReposted by @platogue.bsky.socialIโve been genuinely shocked by how rapidly & how extensively RFK Jr & Jay Bhattacharya dismantled the CDC It will take a generation or more to repair it & restore it to its former gloryโpre-MAGA/MAHA, it was revered & seen as one of the finest public health agencies in the world Great reporting ๐
@sherylnyt.bsky.socialReposted by @platogue.bsky.socialICYMI: "It's a zombified CDC." The agency that was once the world's "undisputed leader in public health" is a skeleton of its former self. by @apoorvanyt.bsky.social

@apoorvanyt.bsky.socialReposted by @platogue.bsky.socialAs measles spreads nationwide, hospitals and health officials are pouring more money into efforts to increase vaccinations, testing and surveillance of the disease. The funds include a surprise $100 million infusion in recent weeks to states from the CDC.

@apoorvanyt.bsky.socialReposted by @platogue.bsky.socialIโve been reporting on the CDC for years, and have written about many of its troubles over the past year. I was still shocked by the extent of the staff losses and political interference I found when reporting this one.
@sifill.bsky.socialReposted by @platogue.bsky.socialSo much of what we are confronting today is best understood by the actions undertaken by white communities in response to integration orders.
White supremacy is a form of democratic nihilism. Every institution, norm, and value of democracy will be sacrificed for it.
