With the @FIFAWorldCup 2026 approaching—spanning 16 host cities, including Dallas, and >5M visitors—infectious disease risk is real. Honored to give Grand Rounds on threats from VHFs and vector-borne diseases to respiratory pathogens and STIs—and how we can prepare now. Identify. Isolate. Inform

Elon Musk and billionaires get a tax cut. 7 million Americans with Alzheimer’s get further from a cure. As a caregiver, I am sick and tired of this. We must fund medical research. Millions of American families depend on it.
Dr. Catharine Young@DrCatharineY

We were told NIH funding cuts were about eliminating DEI. But the data now shows grants are down across nearly every field of medicine: cancer, diabetes, mental health, brain disorders. With the greatest cuts hitting Alzheimer’s research, down more than 50%.

This is why Denmark doesn’t need the universal birth dose of the hep B vaccine. Their national health system & data is so comprehensive that their policies have eliminated diseases like HIV & syphilis. In Denmark, everyone’s risk can be accurately quantified. Not so in the US.
Dr Alexey Kulikov@KulikovUNIATF

Denmark 🇩🇰 becomes first country in the European Union to eliminate mother-to-child transmission of #HIV and syphilis. The World Health Organization @WHO has certified #Denmark for the elimination of mother-to-child transmission of HIV and #syphilis, recognizing the country's sustained commitment to ensuring every child is born free of these infections. “The elimination of mother-to-child transmission of HIV and syphilis marks a major public health achievement for Denmark,” said @DrTedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General. “This milestone demonstrates that with strong political commitment and consistent investment in primary care and integrated maternal and child health services, countries can protect every pregnant woman and newborn from these diseases.” who.int/news/item/27-0…

The President will misrepresent the truth tonight, especially on healthcare. Sure, there’s been *talk* on ultraprocessed foods and some progress on digital health tech. The rest? A catastrophic failure, and by far the worst healthcare record in memory. We are far worse off.

It’s alarming that @CDCgov hasn’t issued a #HAN alert on the #measles outbreak in South Carolina. In normal times, this absolutely would have triggered an advisory to clinicians nationwide. Measles is one of the most contagious diseases we know. Another example of public health being weakened.

Talking openly about taking territory by force shouldn’t be normalized. When U.S. officials are asked how that would differ from Russia’s actions in Crimea, the answer matters. Saying “it’s best for everyone” doesn’t replace international law, consent, or self-determination. No double standards. No casual imperialism. No rewriting norms when it’s convenient.

Today’s announcement that HHS is altering the U.S. childhood vaccine schedule without a transparent process or clear scientific justification represents the latest reckless step in @SecKennedy’s assault on national vaccine infrastructure. Our statement: idsociety.org/news--publicat…

It was reprehensible when people mocked condoms at the height of the AIDS pandemic. It is just as depraved to mock those wearing masks to reduce the airborne virus spread today. Whenever someone takes any step to protect public health, they should be applauded, not mocked.

At today's ACIP vaccine advisory meeting there are key presentations by lawyers who make a lot of money suing vaccine manufacturers. If that's not a conflict of interest I don't know what is.
