Still no details why the #NIAID #IRF #containment #lab has a safety stand-down. @nih CDC Emergency NIHClinicalCntr HHS ASPR NETEC ASTMH forbes.com/sites/markkort…

My PhD thesis was made possible by NIH funding to a lab in Uganda. Now, ham-handed budget cuts from Donald J. Trump and Elon Musk will halt our ongoing clinical trials to prevent malaria in Africa. Children will lose access to care because helping others is now un-American.

This is a really critical point. Even very generous billionaires cannot fill the void of beneficial, health-improving, economy-building, life-saving that the US government invested our tax dollars in

This is such unmitigated BS. You have halted all international research (any project with a foreign subaward) that has an budget year/would need a continuation NoA after May 1 2025. Multiple clinical trials in Uganda have been unethically stopped midway through. Stop lying.

PADILLA: "I was not arrested. I was not detained. I will say this. If this is how this administration responds to a senator with a question, if this is how the department of homeland security responds to a senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to

The hardest the Senate has ever worked, all to kick over ten million people off their health care and rip food assistance from millions more

Honored to join Estée Torok from the Gates Foundation and fellow partners at yesterday’s Ministry of Health- Uganda meeting. Grateful for the opportunity to share updates on our Gates-funded work and collaborate toward lasting impact in public health. #GlobalHealth #Partnerships

It was an absolute honor to welcome Estée Torok to IDRCUganda yesterday as we shared progress on our Gates Foundation -funded projects. Her visit brought energy, insight, and renewed motivation to our team. #Grateful #GlobalHealth

My resignation letter from CDC. Dear Dr. Houry, I am writing to formally resign from my position as Director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), effective August 28, 2025, close of business.

Staggering numbers by the Lancet. Vaccinations have: - Averted 154 million deaths - For every death averted, 66 years of full health were gained on average = 10.2 billion years total - Accounted for 40% of the observed decline in global infant mortality

This is the most straightforward attack on free speech from state actors I've ever seen in my life and it's not even close.

Today’s ACIP meeting promoted false claims and misguided information about vaccines. AAP will continue stepping up and working with our local, state and federal partners to make sure every child in every community continues to have access to immunizations. bit.ly/4puP4uf

I've been reporting in East Africa on the impact of President Trump's USAID cuts, and I find that not only are children dying in large numbers but the pace is accelerating as stockpiles run out and people grow weaker. I also obtained an internal Trump administration memo stating

Need every democrat to watch this on repeat with eyes held open like in a clockwork orange

hear me out. but maybe having one guy unilaterally determining what money the government is actually going to spend doesn't create the soundest foundation for a government funding deal or, more broadly, economic growth.

I fear the public will never truly realize the immense damage done to our scientific research system and its consequences. A loss of ~$4.5 billion in frozen or cancelled grants with at least 148 impacted clinical trials = 138,000 patients due to be enrolled or already enrolled.

the n+1 job listing is for the same salary the ED is getting (pull the 990!). if you want small orgs to pay people better, support them. i guarantee paying their people better is the main thing they want to do with that money. it's tough to make an honest, supporter-funded living

amazing. When the Biden adm reached out to Facebook to take down pages filled with Covid disinformation it caused Zuckerberg to decry a full assault on free speech in America. Now, the Trump adm reaches out to remove ICE information and Facebook complies

I'm trying to figure out how sending $7 billion to Africa to save 20 million lives from HIV (many of whom are kids) is an outrage (America First! We can't afford it) ... yet somehow sending $20 billion to Argentina is affordable, wise, and responsible.

If this $172 million in taxpayer dollars were used not to buy luxury jets for Kristi Noem but instead restored money cut from USAID, the money would save approximately 34,400 children's lives.
