@FitzTrubey Yep. Making an unplanned detour to Pittsburgh on the way to ATL from LaGuardia. Original 6:30p flight last night - cancelled. Rebooked flight for 7am today - cancelled. Now scheduled for a pit stop in Pitt. If lucky. Of all things, TSA has been the easiest. 🤷🏻♀️

A victory for science and public health. Yes, it will be appealed, but science and kids will win. Thanks @IDSAInfo and colleagues across the disciplines.

Public servants are often defined by the crises they face - not their own agendas. Right now, we're in the grip of a massive, record-shattering measles outbreak: over 1,100 cases already in 2026 alone, on pace to eclipse last year's historic high. We can't afford health leaders who hesitate on vaccines. Strong, science-based advocacy is non-negotiable to protect our kids and stop this preventable disaster. Skepticism at the top endangers American children. 👇🏽

Oops - forgot to acknowledge @jenkatesdc. These two do fabulous work for @KFF

Excellent - and important - read from KFF @LindseyH_Dawson . Hard won progress to End the HIV Epidemic is being rolled back in the US - especially in FL. The result will be new HIV infections and deaths. Floridians, please call and write your Governor. Demand reversal now.
Lindsey Dawson@LindseyH_Dawson
Yesterday, an emergency rule took effect in FL that could lead to many people losing HIV treatment. While FL’s move is the most dramatic, other states are weighing similar changes to HIV programs. We explore what's happening and why. kff.org/hiv-aids/const… w/ @jenkatesdc

Many have asked who I’ll be voting for in the Dem #GAGov primary. Though many of the candidates I personally wanted to run decided to stay out, I’m growing confident that @jasonesteves has what it takes to move the party and our state forward. Let’s do this Jason!

Our systematic review in NEJM looked at exactly this. We reviewed the recent flu vaccine literature published since the last ACIP evidence review, covering effectiveness data from the 2023-2024 season onward.
Pooled data from 6 studies: the flu vaccine reduces a child’s risk of flu hospitalization by 67%. Among kids who developed acute necrotizing encephalopathy from the flu, 84% were unvaccinated. Of the 11 who died, 10 were unvaccinated.
For adults, pooled data from 13 studies showed the vaccine cuts hospitalization risk by 42-48%. A major US network study found it reduces the risk of in-hospital death by 50%.
Anyone who says there is “no evidence” the flu vaccine prevents serious disease or death is just wrong.

Sen. Kaine: “Do you believe that there’s no evidence that the flu vaccine has efficacy in reducing serious injury and hospitalization?” Means: *pauses* Sen. Kaine: “This is an easy one, doctor.”

Calling on @SenBillCassidy to reject this shockingly unqualified nominee and stand up for science and evidence-based medicine and policy. Don’t make the same mistake twice, please. America’s health is suffering from your vote to approve RFK Jr. Please don’t add insult to injury.
Dan Diamond@ddiamond
In hearing just now, @SenBillCassidy presses Casey Means, Trump's nominee for Surgeon General, on whether she'd recommend parents get kids vaccinated MEANS: I'm supportive of vaccination… every individual needs to talk to their doctor before putting a medication in their body.
English
@JeromeAdamsMD @DrNice2026 Thanks for speaking up in favor of science and evidence-based medicine and policy. This nominee is frighteningly unqualified.
English
@DrNice2026 I’ll also be on NPR tomorrow morning to discuss. Cliff notes: there’s never been an SG who didn’t complete medical training, and there’s never been an SG who didn’t fully endorse childhood vaccines.

Means unwilling to specifically publicly encourage MMR vaccine uptake as she applies to be “the nation’s doctor”.
Thoughts, @JeromeAdamsMD ?

It’s rare that I’d make a choice so early, but I decided after careful thought that I’m voting for @jasonesteves in the Democratic primary election for governor here in Georgia.
