We have never needed the independent voice of #ACIP more.

#ACIP is independent & receives admin suppprt from @CDCgov , to assure integrity in evidence review, safety & use of best evidence in recommendations. Meeting of crucial #CDC vaccine advisory panel, under scrutiny by RFK Jr., is postponed statnews.com/2025/02/20/aci… via @statnews

@outbreakupdates #Measles cases were reported 2025 by TX,AK, GA, NJ, NM, NY City, RI. Per CDC, measles symptoms appear 7 to 14 days after contact w/virus,usually w/high fever,cough,runny nose,watery eyes. Measles rash appears 3 to 5 days after the first symptoms.

Texas measles death was a child who was not vaccinated

@dr_kkjetelina Preventable tragedy.#PreventionIsBetterThanCure

Sec Kennedy, you're incorrect. This *is* an unusual year for measles. This year has already passed 8 out of the past 15 years *annual* counts. We're only 2.5 months in. Rather than falsehoods, try publicly stating support for MMR. Today marks the first US measles death in 10 yrs

FYI,besides TX,#Measles cases are reported by AK,GA,NJ,NY City,RI. Per @CDCgov, measles are contagious before symptoms appear 7 to 14 days after contact w/virus,usually including high fever, cough, runny nose, eyes. Measles rash appears 3 to 5 days after first symptoms.

#CDC's "disease detectives" halved among DOGE cuts at #HHS. What could possibly go wrong? @CDCgov @AmerMedicalAssn @acog @ACPM_HQ @NACCHOalerts @PublicHealth #HealthandHumanServices #Doge #Publichealth share.newsbreak.com/bifup8ir

@angie_rasmussen @charles_gaba Thank you

On Data Purge Eve, many people stayed up late to save the CDC website. @charles_gaba downloaded the whole thing. 👑 A group of us are working to make these preserved data an accessible & publicly available resource. More to come, but get started here 👇🏻 acasignups.net/25/02/02/llink…

@MeetJess #tuberculosis (#TB) has long been underdiagnosed and indertreated in US, despite good #evidence based recommendations from @CDCgov cdc.gov/tb/hcp/clinica…

@michael_hoerger Thank goodness

The CDC continues to report on COVID wastewater surveillance, defying orders to stop external communication. Transmission continues to decline in all regions but the south, where steady. Significant transmission occurs on the back end of the wave.

@drkeithsiau Is this common during admin changes?

This could be catastrophic news for medical research 😔

@Sealman81 @Ama @texmed @MeAndMyOBG @ACOGAction Now we are whistling in the dark.

I want to personally thank all the members of our house of medicine who helped get #MMWR silenced. Especially those who said "Presidents don't matter that much, Congress makes laws" @ama @texmed @meandmyobg @acogaction

Thank you for your #courage, sir. #Justice #Hero #Remember #CharlesPerson, Youngest of the Original #FreedomRiders, Dies at 82 nytimes.com/2025/01/11/us/…

@TheObGProject It will be interesting to discover where follow-up studies lead

This study, published in NEJM, identifies unusual NIPT results that could identify a subgroup of asymptomatic patients who might have cancer ow.ly/oIjp50UwGRb #EvidenceMatters #NIPT #cancer

@Sealman81 Or for those unelected...

Despite rising average temps, more Americans are dying cold-related deaths. Adults aged 45 to 74 years experienced the largest annual increase,averaging almost 5% annually, between 1999 and 2022. @Rotary @ACPM_HQ @PublicHealth #cold #Death #BrothersKeeper jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/…

@TheObGProject Same goes for @TheWPSI recs.See the website for a free coding guide.

How does USPSTF impact reimbursement? How do #physicians and professional societies have an impact on recommendations? A quick summary ow.ly/3AXo50U43Ni #foamed #medresidents
