We need congress to consider expanding paid leave during the pandemic to people with Cystic Fibrosis. Families shouldn’t have to choose between their health and their pay check. Mike Quigley Tammy Duckworth Senator Dick Durbin #CFadvocacy CFF Chicago Cystic Fibrosis Foundation

Pleased to reintroduce the PASTEUR Act with Mike Doyle, Michael Bennet, and Senator Todd Young today.   Investing in pandemic preparedness is critical, and this legislation brings together the public and private sectors to address antimicrobial resistance.

While antibiotic-resistant infections are a hallmark of life with #cysticfibrosis, they are a threat to all of us. Globally, 700,000 people die each year from drug-resistant infections. 35,000 of those are Americans. We must address this issue.

We applaud Michael Bennet, Senator Todd Young, Mike Doyle and Congressman Drew Ferguson who reintroduced the PASTEUR Act today in Congress. This bill will strengthen the antibiotics pipeline, making it easier for novel antibiotics to reach patients. #CFadvocacy cff.org/About-Us/Media…

.Senator Dick Durbin The shortage of effective antibiotics to combat antibiotic resistance is a top global public health concern that can no longer be ignored. Just ask Megan, a CF fighter in Chicago, who is advocating for a sustainable antibiotics pipeline. #CFadvocacy
