Great piece by Shelley Hearne on what CDC ( and public health more broadly) needs in order to handle the next crisis and to ensure that every day isn’t a health crisis for so many people in America.

The expanded Child Tax Credit had a dramatic impact on child poverty in just a few months. Imagine the impact if it were made permanent and if payments made it to every eligible family. If we truly care about children, actions speak much louder than words.

“I’m less concerned [about BA.2 subvariant] than when Omicron first came because we should see protection from people who’ve had the current Omicron infection … but this is the time, if you haven’t gotten your booster, to go ahead & do so” — @drrichbesser gma.abc/34LgM1e

There are people who will benefit from a fourth shot, but the more pressing challenge is getting first, second and third shots to people over 65 who aren’t fully vaccinated—all 15+ million of them in the US. They face the biggest risk from Covid, and BA.2 may be coming for them.

Congress needs to make sure that the response to COVID is fully funded. We cannot accept that a person’s income and whether they have health insurance will determine how protected they are and how they do if they get sick.

We are in solidarity with the Uvalde community & share in the grief of those mourning the loss of their loved ones. Gun violence is a public health crisis that will never end until our nation enacts evidence-based regulations that are proven to save lives. rwjf.ws/3yTHcL0

We have to find a way to end our inability to enact even the most sensible regulations-- broadly supported across the political spectrum-- that will save lives. At RWJF we will actively explore how we as an institution can work for this kind of change.

A drop in testing due to Memorial Day reporting backlogs, but disparities along insurance coverage lines remain. "We need these federal funds to make sure that anyone who wants a vaccine, anyone who needs a test, can get those tests," Rich Besser told Erica Hill today.

As my colleagues from RWJF say- “No decent person wants to hurt children.” Here’s what that should mean: Youth and gender-affirming care: let’s start with ‘do no harm’ statnews.com/2022/06/15/you… via STAT

The tragedy in Texas, where at least 46 people were found dead in an abandoned tractor-trailer and more than a dozen others in the truck, including children, were taken to local hospitals for treatment, underscores the urgent need to create safer pathways for refugees. 1/4

You’ve all heard that @potus has COVID “rebound” Lets talk about rebound -- what we know and what we don't know Bottom line (tl;dr): Treatments like Paxlovid are designed to prevent serious illness. And they are doing that. Very well But back to rebound. What is it? Thread

Thank you to everyone who has followed and supported Judy throughout her lifetime of advocacy. May her memory be for a blessing. judithheumann.com/the-world-mour…

Judy Heumann left an indelible legacy as a champion for disability rights. I am honored to have worked with her and learned so much from her. I join my colleagues at the RWJF and our partners united in efforts at the intersection of disability and social justice in mourning her.
