The U.S. withdrawal from the World Health Organization is a shortsighted and misguided abandonment of our global health commitments. Our statement: bit.ly/4jWGJgy

Decades of rigorous and scientifically sound research have proven that vaccines do not cause autism. CDC’s decision to change language on its website reversing that finding is reckless and harmful. Our statement w/ @HIVMA, @APIC, @SHEA_Epi & @SIDPharm: bit.ly/3XEc0KH

🚨BREAKING: IDSA, along with @AmerAcadPeds, @PublicHealth, @ACPIMPhysicians and others, has filed a lawsuit against @HHSgov/@SecKennedy to stop unlawful changes to vaccine policy and defend public health. We refuse to stand by while America’s public health safeguards are torn apart. bit.ly/4lm7UkW

"We will not stay silent." IDSA President Tina Tan, MD, FIDSA, FPIDS, FAAP, joins @AmerAcadPed, @ACPIMPhysicians, @acog, and @AAFP in urging evidence-based vaccine recommendations. bit.ly/443ptQw

This week’s meeting of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, or ACIP, was politicized, chaotic and not transparent. Our statement: bit.ly/3ZPB0jO

If someone thinks the measles outbreak and childhood death in Texas are "not unusual" or that these things "happen all the time", they are deeply misinformed. Don't be fooled. blogs.jwatch.org/hiv-id-observa…

@PaulSaxMD @GaboMotoa @CIDJournal Here here. State of NJ DOH requirement

Inspired by a discussion on inpatient rounds this week with super ID fellow @GaboMotoa, here are a couple of great @CIDJournal perspectives that challenge the status quo on infection control practices. First up, MRSA. doi.org/10.1093/cid/ci… 1/x

@PaulSaxMD Empiric observation during travel, theater, and dining 99% no precautions yet case loads while up far less than when more precautions = much less transmissible

This is an important unanswered question. If we assume viral kinetics correlate with contagiousness (reasonable), I suspect asymptomatic spread is less common now than before we had widespread immunity. Doesn't mean zero risk, but much lower. doi.org/10.1093/cid/ci…

Anyone can get an infection, and almost any infection, including flu, can lead to sepsis. If you or your loved one has an infection that’s not getting better or is getting worse, ACT FAST and get medical care IMMEDIATELY. bit.ly/2SeFYT9 #SAM2023

@SarahColando Cc to be bi but don't ig

Despite working almost 90 hours a week, I still managed to make it to the gym 5 times to keep my mental and emotional health in check 💪🏼🧠 #internlife

@PaulSaxMD @bwh_id @mgh_id Such a wonderful perspective for any specialist interacting with junior colleagues, advance practice providers and other clinical staff. Always timely. Thanks

As the first-year @bwh_id @mgh_id fellows officially start this week, I'm re-upping this post, which gives some *very* important advice. Namely: Don’t Underestimate or Belittle Your Interns and Residents blogs.jwatch.org/hiv-id-observa…
