1/ when families run low on money, they often try to make their baby formula last longer by diluting it with water. This practice can seriously and permanently harm infants. Formula is precisely made in terms of calories and electrolytes, and it’s essential to mix it properly.

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.

Somehow one of the most jarring and upsetting things happening around me is other medical professionals insisting that what's happening isn't so bad, nothing unusual, nothing other administrations haven't done. It's all fine and I'm overreacting.

RFK Jr cut half a billion dollars in research funding for mRNA vaccines.
He & Marty Makary claim mRNA vaccines are “risky” so they’ll shift to “traditional, older” vaccine tech that’s “safer.”
Guess what?
We used to immunize people by blowing powdered smallpox scabs up their noses.

1/ Quick update on #fallvaccines:
Flu and RSV vaccines remain business as usual this fall: if you’re eligible, you should be able to get them without issue. Vaccinations should start in September.
Covid-19 vaccines are another story. There will be three key developments this week 👇

The media has predicted the breaking of MAGA for years and has as much credibility as end of the world predictions by evangelicals. It won’t change votes. It was never about protecting children, saving babies nor was it ever about all lives. It’s about cruelty to and power over others.

Whelp. I called my residency program because I needed some info for ongoing credentialing. The coordinator is still there and still wonderful, but told me I had been gone so long my file was 'in storage.' So. Old.

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?
