Multilevel threats undermining global efforts to address infectious disease & sexual health. Understanding them will help ensure improved health outcomes in Africa & the Global South. The #HarmReductionJournal has a call for a new collection. I hope you will consider contributing (bit.ly/4tn2zOl)

Would someone remind Congress that we the people pay for their healthcare- benefits that are far superior to any of our benefits? Perhaps if they forgo their benefits, the cuts to Medicaid would be a bit more palatable…

We all must urge our Congressional delegations to govern and not to be lemmings to an insatiable ego. Democracy now. It is not too late. Make the call.

As we celebrate the very real reduction in deaths from opioid overdose, we MUST remember that RIGHT NOW our national leaders are discussing reducing or eliminating the very tools that reduce overdose: access to naloxone and Medicaid (treatment access). news.azpm.org/p/azpmnews/2...

Pharmacies are partners for overdose reduction. We (open access) document AZ pharmacy practices re: buprenorphine & methadone dispensing for OUD & interest in subsidized naloxone dispensing. We associate these practices with community need. 4 distinct pharmacy groups emerged.

Dr. Beth Meyerson @bethmeyerson.bsky.social · 14/03/2025

Pharmacies could be important partners for methadone access in our evolving system, but we don’t know if they are likely to dispense it. Here we share that 47.6% of AZ pharmacies -were very likely or somewhat likely to dispense methadone for OUD when permitted. www.japha.org/article/S154...

Trump's candidate for NIH Director, is now defending Peter Duesberg. NO. Scientists don't have to indulge AIDS denialism or Bhattacharya's conspiracy-addled theories on COVID-19. Bhattacharya fancies himself as a new-age Galileo and Fauci the Pope, when JB is just simply wrong and cannot accept it.
