Much progress in this past Congress. Holding onto wins and assuring effective implementation at the state level is key, especially for postpartum services to support mothers.
Community Catalyst (🦋 @communitycatalyst.org)@CommCatHealth

While there are many wins in the end-of-year omnibus spending bill that will advance health equity, Congress must address the Black and Indigenous maternal health crises. In our last episode of health policy minute, we explain why Congress must do more. youtube.com/watch?v=2hUgiz…

Uptake of under-5 COVID-19 vaccines is expected to be lackluster. But experts tell @KatherineJWu that two and a half years into the pandemic, immunizing as many people as possible is still an urgent need. on.theatln.tc/mBzn4HO

When I served on National Vaccine Advisory Committee, it was a chance to contribute to design of VAERS (as well as creation of Vaccines for Children Program). This JHU story gets it right. We need to focus on adverse events related to the vaccine to understand challenges.
Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health@JohnsHopkinsSPH

“The COVID vaccine especially is where VAERS has gotten so misused. Eighty percent of people in this country have gotten at least one dose. Well, a lot of things have happened to 80% of people in the last two years that are unrelated to the vaccine.” publichealth.jhu.edu/2022/what-vaer…

Boosting families basic income with CTC and other allowances improves brain development, fosters school success, and facilitates adequate food, housing, and parental employement. What will it take?!?
Children's Defense Fund@ChildDefender

The Senate voted for a multibillion dollar corporate tax credit on Wednesday night, but still let the #ChildTaxCredit expire. If evidence and popularity can’t save the CTC, what will? ow.ly/606X50J0wZm #childallowancenow #extendctc

As a survivor, I am thinking about how Brett Kavanaugh and Clarence Thomas are credibly accused of having violated and harassed women and are now the ones about to deny us our right to abortion care. Abusers do not belong in public office. Period.

‘Pregnancy is a private and personal decision and should not require the permission of any politician.’  In 2019, poet Amanda Gorman took a stand against abortion bans in the U.S. and her words are just as relevant today.

The mask decision may be the tip of the iceberg in the battle over the CDC's powers. Legal experts say recent challenges to the agency's authority could hinder efforts to respond to future pandemics. n.pr/3vDH530

@NPR I wish I had collard seeds from my grandmothers' gardens in NW Arkansas. I will see if any family members have these.

Historians trace the roots of collards to the gardens of enslaved African Americans in the South. But as farms and home gardens have vanished, so too have the heirloom seeds. Now, the Heirloom Collard Project hopes to save the ones that remain. n.pr/3v8X1uP

Too many of our young people aren’t receiving the resources or care they need to live healthy, safe lives. @Surgeon_General and I had a conversation with students who are advocating for more resources, and we discussed ways the government can better support youth.

@BruceLesley @OrrinHatch I too spent time working with @OrrinHatch in creation and enactment of CHIP. I also had occasion to testify before Senators Hatch and Kennedy about infant mortality. He asked tough questions but listened well.

I spent time working with @OrrinHatch and his staff on the creation, enactment, and subsequent extensions of Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). That will be how I remember his legacy. —> deseret.com/opinion/2022/4…

The Hatch Foundation sadly announces the passing of Senator Orrin G. Hatch—the former President Pro Tempore of the United States Senate and the longest-serving Senator in Utah history (1977-2019). To learn more about his incredible life, click here: orrinhatchfoundation.org

For years, there has been broad, bipartisan support for home visiting services in #Congress. Thank you, @WaysandMeansGOP and @WaysMeansCmte for holding a hearing this morning on how home visiting improves the lives of families.
