Say no to raw milk, but if you don’t mind getting sick from salmonella, campylobacter, e. coli, listeria, brucella, mycobacteria or other pathogens, drink up @Stopfoodillness #SayNoToRawMilk apnews.com/article/raw-mi…

Good luck Penn Quakers! @MarchMadnessMBB @Penn

This is the insidious way in which the FDA and RFKJr want to inject more doubt into vaccine safety and have fewer people receiving safe and effective vaccines. Burning down public health from the inside. beckershospitalreview.com/quality/public…

Congratulations to all the @ASMicrobiology 2026 Award Recipients and especially to our own @PennPathLabMed @PennMedicine faculty member @KGRodinoPhD for the ASM Early Career Clinical Microbiology Research Award In Clinical Microbiology!

As national medical, scientific, public health and patient organizations, we call for the resignation of @HHSGov Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (@seckennedy) to ensure the health of the American people. Our statement: bit.ly/45LeJHi

Posted by the White House yesterday. First, break the system, decimate public health infrastructure, sow doubt about vaccines, dismiss experts who know something about medicine and science, then gaslight the public with a propaganda campaign. #FireRFKjr #SupportPublicHealth

RFKjr is a danger to all of us and must be removed #FireRFKjr nytimes.com/2025/09/01/opi…

There’s a full scale assault on the CDC by RFKjr and Trump #SilenceIsNotAnOption #MakeYourVoicesHeard open.substack.com/pub/meidastouc…

The CDC attack is a wake up call. Not just about security, but about truth. About restoring shared reality to our discourse. About valuing our health and public health workforce. About standing with the people who protect us. About the simple principle that should guide all systems: Safety first. tomfrieden.substack.com/p/the-cdc-atta…

We still need to teach pathology in medical schools nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

More than 98% of families in this country choose to vaccinate their young children. But now, vaccine policy is being shaped by the small, extreme minority that doesn’t. This decision doesn’t reflect, protect or support families.
