Confirming the nominations for head of CBER (overseeing 💉, gene therapy, and blood products) and Surgeon General with a researcher who has made a career of bashing other people’s studies while conducting no therapeutic trials of his own and a wellness grifter, respectively, is a fatal mistake.

The seemingly random slashing of funding for trials to CURE cancer, diabetes, and other rare and common diseases has an immediate body count. However, the loss of life due to failure to fund novel therapeutic trials is exponentially worse and dangerously unknown.

120

Anita K Patel, MD @anitakpatelmd.bsky.social · 08/05/2025

When studies are cancelled secondary to failure to comply with the administrations “priorities,” make no mistake, they can track each life that will be lost if a study is halted. Let that sink in. With every study closure we can directly measure the loss of life. This is ableism in its purest form

Anita K Patel, MD @anitakpatelmd.bsky.social · 08/05/2025

I am a PICU attending who cares for children receiving life saving therapies through clinical trials. Frequently, the therapies are ONLY available through NIH funded clinical trials. The loss of life secondary to study closures is not just theoretical, it is measurable - the data never lies. #medsky

Should COVID-19 vaccines be administered to children under an emergency use authorization?

Recently, Wesley Pegden, Vinay Prasad, and Stefan Baral argued in The BMJ that "COVID-19 vaccines for children should not get emergency use authorization". Their argument is lacking, and they left out

As a member of the select few who actually fill in/sign pediatric death certificates, I want to make one thing CRYSTAL CLEAR. Any sane PICU attending would write: “Cause of death: pneumonia Secondary to measles.” We have suffered 2 pediatric deaths. How many more need to die for people to SPEAK UP?!

7/making this unprecedented change doesn't save the federal government a single dime, and makes our city less safe. Please do not approve the CR in its current form, and instead push for an amendment that would restore bipartisan, common-sense language protecting DC's budget funded by my tax dollars

Anita K Patel, MD @anitakpatelmd.bsky.social · 12/03/2025

6/We operate, and have for more than twenty years, like a state. Allowing the CR to move forward as-is would force DC to make $1 billion in cuts to public safety, schools, and other frontline workers halfway through our fiscal year. DC's budget is balanced and was approved by Congress last year
