Can't believe we have to celebrate this. Substack attached is a good, concise explanation.

Here’s another win, from our favorite allergist @rubinallergy.bsky.social
We will have a flu vaccine for next season!!! There was a lot of concern that it wasn’t gonna happen but a meeting was held and they did decide which strains to target
So bravo to the amazing fighters who made this happen

Whew. Though I have low expectations for the next one
The nomination of Dave Weldon as CDC director has been pulled by the White House hours before his nomination hearing apparently because of concerns about his anti-vaccine views… 🧪 #IDsky

Jesus fucking Christ. The decision tree at the end.
This is how they are going to try to take our grants away next. And yes, all of them. Does your grant include terms like “barrier” or “female” or “systemic”? This is grant review by ideological purity test & we’re all destined to fail.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

@charlesgaba.com is a hero and downloaded CDC’s entire website. A small group of us has come together to preserve this critical resource and make it accessible to the scientific community.
More to come. These data are public and they are ours. Deletion disobedience is one way to fight back.

📣 UPDATE: OK, still working with some others to figure out the best way to present it all, but in the meantime here's the first batch of links to the most-recent archived versions of every page at the CDC prior to the Trump/Musk Purge:

The risk of bird flu continues to rise as it spreads in herds &flock around the country. This is the absolute worst time for health communications the CDC to be muzzled. If we have another pandemic we will be even more vulnerable than the last time around. #h5n1

Will bird flu spark a human pandemic? Scientists say the risk is rising
H5N1 is adapting to new mammal hosts, raising the possibility of the virus spreading between humans.

Please read this thread from Dr. Atul Gawande who previously led USAID global health under president Biden's administration. Every day that goes by with USAID activities paused is impacting millions around the globe negatively. Many will die as a direct result.

Sigh. A sobering and scary post. I remember the 90s. I don't want to repeat them.
So, you may ask, why do I get so angry about the new liberal spin on RFK Jr, as in, "he gets some things right, so let's collaborate on those" or "we have to work with him because he has a huge following we need to reach"? Because I've seen this movie before. 1/

Sigh. To hear what I fear, stated so succinctly, is really quite heavy.
With the recent news of the mysterious outbreak in the DRC and the simmering infections of #H5N1 in the US and elsewhere these comments from two infectious diseases experts seem ever more relevant.

Y’all do realize that the fact a random unelected private citizen is able to book 1 on 1 meetings with world leaders is a serious condemnation of the amount of poltical power we’ve allowed a small group of oligarchs to accumulate in our society.
