Description of our response to a large community TB exposure involving young kids. We hope this helps other academic centers be able to partner with public health more easily- costs included to help convince your C suite that it’s a good idea! @claytonmowrer.bsky.social #PedSky #IDSky #PedsID

New moment of “WTF”: -pt with rare infection (so rare will leave unnamed, as could reveal identity) -nl times: reach out to CDC for testing -now: “they confirmed they are not currently accepting specimens for serology…they suggested we could reach out to Canada National Reference Center” 😳😳😳

New COVID vaccine recommendations threaten access, undermine choice and will negatively impact health

Wonder how NEJM must feel right now, allowing that garbage commentary (by certain "officials"), followed by RFK Jr now hoping to bar NIH scientists from publishing there... Karma huh?

Just tought you might all need this (from "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers").

Frodo: I can't do this, Sam.
Sam: I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something.
Frodo: What are we holding onto, Sam?
Sam: That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo... and it's worth fighting for.

A reminder that illegally closing USAID & shuttering its programs will kill or harm millions. One example: "the loss of U.S. support may mean 75 million children do not receive routine vaccinations in the next five years, with more than 1.2 million children dying as a result"

While studies on vaccine hesitancy are crucial, this headline buried the fact that they're gathering info re studies on mRNA vaccines and ANY international collaborations. That's insanity and will have absolutely devastating impacts. Please, rest of the world: take us back when we get through this

Lots of talk re RFK Jr's op-ed - many noting his shift in seeming to be encouraging vaccination. The reality is that he sidestepped truly endorsing vaccines and focused (as per usual) on a lot of disinformation. We cannot praise these words - they're empty. Paul Offit said it much more eloquently:

A screenshot of the Muppet script that reads: Kermit: Yeah, well, I've got a dream, too. But it's about singing and dancing and making people happy. That's the kind of dream that gets better the more people you share it with. And, well, I've found a whole bunch of friends who have the same dream. And...and it kind of makes us like a family. Do you have anybody like that, Hopper?"
