Multiple senior officials at the CDC have resigned, claiming the agency’s decision-making is being politicized. This raises serious alarms:

What does this do to public trust in health guidance?

Could vaccine campaigns or future disease response be compromised?

Is leadership failing us at a critical time?

We just published a 10-minute exposé unpacking the timeline, who's involved, and the potential fallout for millions of Americans.

Watch here (and weigh in with your take):

Question for you all: Does this signal the end of trust in federal health institutions or is it a chance to rebuild with better oversight?

For example- maybe those of us who have weaker stomachs or have other chronic health issues.

IE- maybe cut out uncooked foods like salads... Any thoughts on this?

There is a job posting at my local hospital for an IP role, and the only education requirement is a high school diploma.

Is this a thing in other places? Is it safe?

I have only ever seen IP positions require an RN or MPH (usually preferring experience and CBIC certification as well).

I graduated last May for my MPH in EPI and struggling to get a job. 2 days ago I got a part-time job as a bookkeeper getting paid $35 per hour. I know it’s only part-time but I’m so happy. It’s a 12-minute walk from my parents’ house. So I can save money and now I can focus on getting a 2nd job.

This is terrible news but not unexpected.

Having issues posting the link. You can find it on the KFF Health News site (highly recommend subscribing to the morning briefs via email to catch it all in real time).

Strategy unveiled. He wants to add autism and allergies to the list of those eligible for compensation from injury, which will bankrupt the fund. Everything in this article suggests it will happen.

RFKj and “his backers remain undeterred. In a counterpunch, his supporters are launching an unprecedented public relations campaign to promote the HHS secretary, spurring speculation that he may be mulling a 2028 presidential run.”

MPH working in pharma, and pregnant, and really fucking mad. What about MY freedom TO vaccinate? TO make the choice for myself and for my baby? I know they’re going to pull childhood vaccines next. What the fuck am I going to do in February when this baby is born? Drive to Canada with an unvaccinated baby? I’m scared, I’m tired, but mainly I’m furious and I’m furious that democrats aren’t doing shit.

EDIT TO CLARIFY: ELECTED DEMOCRATIC OFFICIALS should be doing the thing they are ELECTED TO DO

Ugh.

In a social media post, Mr. Kennedy said the approvals accomplished the goals of keeping vaccines available to people who want them and of demanding that companies conduct placebo-controlled trials. One new, required study would examine “post-Covid-19 vaccination syndrome” in patients, a condition that has been noted in at least one small preliminary medical report, but is still a matter of pitched debate.

Hi all, I’m 26 weeks pregnant and plan on getting all the recommended vaccinations per ACOG. I know they will give me Tdap at my 28 week appointment. For flu and Covid, should I get them as soon as the new formulations are available? Or when in my pregnancy would they be most effective? For RSV, should I get it and when? Or would be more effective for my daughter to get it when she is born (due December 2nd). My goal is maximum protection for the baby! TIA!
