it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions
"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

I cancelled a full day of clinic 4 months ago for my study section meeting that was supposed to happen this week. Clearing our schedules to reschedule these cancelled grant review panels is not so easy…

This is exactly right: ICS/formoterol from day 1.
@astra-zeneca.bsky.social has to make Symbicort DPI available in the US NOW. Their introduction of the patent-protected AirSupra pMDI rather than Symbicort in a DPI has helped no one except their bottom line. #followthemoney

Key message here is that there is actually little conflict between good care and the environment. The most effective asthma care is also best for the environment.

Also, they are so so so good at distraction.
“Will they come together and effectively unite against SNAP cuts? Loss of ACA subsidies and skyrocketing health insurance premiums? Everything ICE? The unconstitutional destruction of Freedom of the Press?
Nah. Let’s distract ‘em with a bulldozer.”

I don’t know who needs to hear this but there is an entire swath of the country hearing nothing about the destruction of the East Wing. Don’t believe me? Go scroll through the Fox News FB page.

Instead of blaming *patients* - how about pressuring @astra-zeneca.bsky.social to bring dry powder Symbicort - which has been available across the pond for 20 YEARS - to the US so patients can get guideline-preferred single-inhaler therapy while helping the environment???
The people who are most vulnerable to the hard-to-breathe air that comes with climate change may inadvertently be adding to the problem, new research finds. https://cnn.it/4pWQMoh

Claiming that routine immunization requirements for school are an issue of parental rights dehumanizes children. Kids have intrinsic rights just as anyone, and parents are obligated to provide the best care possible for them. That includes providing them with indicated medical interventions.
