In my healthcare career, I never imagined that I would advise my patients to ignore this information from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). It is extremely frustrating that our national health agencies have been recklessly politicized. #nursesky #medsky

At the federal level, the lack of a recommendation further erodes trust in ACIP & our federal institutions. When patients get mixed messages from institutions that were once trusted, it creates uncertainty & fear without context, which is the main problem.

The best way to continue to change hearts and minds is by telling our real-life stories, & translating the impact of policy on actual lives. We can’t give up after this HR 1 fight. We all lose when we stop resisting injustice & cruelty. Turn that anger into motivation to speak up. @wsna.bsky.social

These two nurses could be deciding vote on HR 1.
If they vote yes, then they will need to answer to their profession & constituents about why they voted to take away healthcare access from millions.
Nurses please call Rep. Kiggans & Rep. Sheri Biggs before the vote!

Shame! Yes she got kickbacks, but she doesn’t realize that Alaskans still depend on a stable & accessible system in WA. Harborview Seattle is Alaska’s closest Level 1 facility. She may feel she is helping Alaska, but she is hurting the state that Alaskans need to function well to access vital care.

Wow! Just made it worse!
Nurses & docs would never get away with saying this to a patient that can’t afford a treatment or diagnostic test. Humans do die at some point, but they shouldn’t die because of your reckless vote in the Senate.

Thank you @aodnewz.bsky.social w/ @thehill.com for this reporting. "Informed decision making" is a part of what clinicians do in any scenario, weighing risk vs. benefit, & individualizing options for patients. It will be interesting to see what the HHS response will be.

There is a difference between those that make reckless policy decisions, like cutting Medicaid, & those of us in the trenches doing the work.
When I see a patient, I am accountable for the care I provide. Lawmakers promoting these cuts should consider the same level of accountability.
