This is absolutely stunning. I covered ACIP from 1994-2011. Initially most members had Pharma disclosures, but later they moved toward inclusion of multiple members without such ties. And it was always totally transparent. How will removing expertise restore confidence? #vaccines

This is the big one: Kennedy is firing the entire #ACIP in a move he says is needed to restore confidence in vaccines. "It scares me to think of what’s ahead,” Mike Osterholm of CIDRAP told me. https://t.co/pgHkEM38LB

Good to see a specific tool to screen for binge eating disorder in people with both of the major #diabetes types. Hopefully clinicians will actually use it. https://t.co/Apgo9qn6oo

Yup. Awkward common situation for me: I'll under-bolus anticipating walking, then someone offers me a ride. Do I 1) politely decline the ride, 2) accept the ride and explain that now I'll need to take more insulin, or 3) accept the ride and just quietly dose? 🤔 #type1diabetes

@T1_Lesley I don’t like the unexpected; example for me as well today. No bolus for lunch as planning to walk for an hour, got drenched so came home early and then needed to give a small bolus. Insulin still active when I walked to GP mid afternoon - hypo treat needed. Never straightforward

There is a huge gap between research into myalgic encephalomyelitis / chronic fatigue syndrome and physician education, even now when a large subset of #longcovid is the same phenomenon. The name differences don't help. #mecfs #medicine

Me: Scientists say ME/CFS is a persistent, inappropriate, neuroimmune hypervigilance mediated by T lymphocyte-macrophage interaction but influenced by IgG antibody binding to the gamma interferon-inducible high affinity immunoglobulin receptor FcγRI. GP: Have you tried exercise?

Just to note, people without healthcare are also sicker and costlier before they die.

Chris Murphy on Joni Ernst: "I think everybody in that audience knows they're going to die, they would just rather die in old age at 85 or 90 instead of dying at 40. And the reality is that when you lose your healthcare, you are much more at risk of early death." https://t.co/TBmZOl4wJr
