In Texas, 22 children and 2 adults have become ill with measles in a community where the vaccination rate among kindergartners is only 82%. Nine have been hospitalized so far and the outbreak continues to grow. The anti-vax movement harms children. Period. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

At least 22 children and two adults infected in Texas measles outbreak
Nine of those infected were hospitalized and more cases are likely, health authorities said. U.S. vaccination rates for measles are falling, according to the CDC.

🚨UPDATE: At least 14 people have been hospitalized in a measles outbreak in an under-vaccinated part of Texas. 24 cases so far, mainly children. Health officials worry some parents might not seek care for their kids. Dangerous & means this will keep spreading. kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

Although rare, aortic valve stenosis can coexist with HCM with obstruction. We present 3 patients with concomitant AS and HCM with obstruction to highlight diagnostic challenges via echocardiography and emphasize approaches to overcoming limitations. Read our CASE report: bit.ly/3EvhVM7

The policy lead for CDC's H5N1 response has abruptly resigned. Sources tell me CDC's response to the bird flu pandemic has been severely hobbled by the chaos of the past two weeks.
LinkedIn post: On January 24th I formally resigned from my position with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). I started at CDC in 2010, and I have spent 20 years in public service, including my 15 years in service at the federal level. 

Here is a little bit of what I wrote in my resignation, because I'm not sure that anyone is actually going to read it. 

"I feel honored to be among the public health professionals that have had the privilege to work at CDC. As I reflect on my own experiences and accomplishments during my time here, I am humbled by the magnitude and the importance of our work. 

To my colleagues: we have worked together through chaos and uncertainty, transition, reorganization, preparation, and response. You are the most selfless, dedicated, and passionate people I know. I have watched you work around the clock, take additional details, deployments, and responsibilities, try to balance work and family, forego self-care, and keep pushing and work together to protect the public’s health. I’ve seen your sacrifice. I want you to know that your support and guidance has been invaluable, and I am proud of the work we have accomplished together."
 
While I was backing up files I found my oath that I signed in 2010. I believe in our work, and I am sad to be leaving federal service. But I have immense gratitude for all of the opportunities that I've had and the connections that I've made. 

I will continue to protect the public's health in a different capacity (stay tuned...) but for now, thank you for trusting me.
