I hope no one thinks I'm involved in animal cruelty and nonprofit theft. 😬

This is the response from Senator Sheehy regarding my request to preserve healthcare research funding in the 2026 budget. With almost all his responses to me including something about abuse, fraud, and waste, I wonder what he thought of the $100M presidential ballroom...

I find it increasingly more frustrated with the responses I've received from US Congressmen and Senators. I emailed Senator Sheehy about my concerns and distrust with the current ACIP members and this is what I get. I already know what ACIP is, and what RFK Jr is doing.

I wonder if our congressional representatives actually read what their constituents write. I recently wrote to Congressman Downing, petitioning him to protect healthcare research funding. I'm unclear about how restricted access and telemedicine relate to my request.

@drdemetre.bsky.social greatly influenced me to become a public health advocate, and I was so fortunate to meet him a couple of years ago. I'm sad to hear that the turmoil at the CDC has led him to leave the agency.

I don't know where he got this claim but I certainly have never seen mitochondrial disorders or inflammation causing lack of social connection in anyone.

Last day of vacation. I’m going to relive my vacation moments to help soften the likely trauma I’ll experience when I review the news and events that occurred while I was gone when I go back to work tomorrow.

A beautiful day for a concert with a talented group of international artists with diverse backgrounds at Tippet Rise. What a nice way to get away from all the drama, at least for one day.

RFK Jr: "What I would say is my opinions about vaccines are irrelevant... but I don't think people should be taking medical advice from me."
I agree with his last sentence, but he neglected to mention that what he does as the HHS secretary affects the medical advice doctors can provide.

After several emails petitioning on various issues, I finally received a reply from a U.S. Senator from Montana about USAID. It says nothing about why I petitioned him regarding USAID...to continue supporting global health. 🤦🏻

I'm not sure how this will make America healthy again. Ignoring the existence of certain groups is a sure way to avoid acknowledging health inequities in those groups.

Speaking at a recent gathering of the Montana Bioscience Alliance in Helena to discuss the development of vaccines in Montana and vaccination challenges in the state. I'm excited to see Montana continuing Maurice Hilleman's legacy.
