Proud to stand with the clinicians confronting Pennsylvania’s escalating measles outbreak. While federal rhetoric shifts attention elsewhere, they are caring for the patients living with the consequences. Their voices, their stories, and the suffering they’re witnessing deserve the spotlight.

Want the truth about measles? Listen to the doctors treating it. Voices breaking as they describe suffering that did not have to happen. More than 165 hospitalizations and rising. Their testimonials are the clearest answers to the fed’s rhetoric.

I appreciate your question. There is a lot you could do to verify your immune status, but perhaps the easiest is to simply ask your doctor for a MMR booster. Particularly if you have chronic conditions, it’s a valid approach. Or you could verify antibody titers but I’d favor the former.

Grateful to the Washington State Medical Association for the invitation to keynote its annual meeting. At a difficult moment for American medicine, defending our profession matters. And if we want a healthcare system worthy of our patients, clinicians must lead the way forward. @wsmaceo.bsky.social

On the ground at the epicenter of the measles outbreak, the clinicians doing the lifesaving work told us who they’re relying on: their colleagues, local health departments and state officials. Just as revealing was who they didn’t mention.

Behind the rhetoric around measles are real patients, families and clinicians carrying the consequences. This week, I traveled to rural Pennsylvania to hear directly from doctors at the center of an unprecedented outbreak Their stories deserve to cut through the noise—and remind us what’s at stake

The questions posed to Dr Heidi Overton yesterday aren’t sources of great confusion. Is mail-order Mifepristone safe? Yes. Is an IUD a form of abortion? Clearly No. Does MMR need to be split into 3 for safety reasons? No. If you can’t answer those 3 questions clearly…

This isn’t just about NIH grants. It’s about whose health gets studied—and whose gets ignored. Defund research on women and minority communities. Weaken the safety net. Politicize which science gets funded. Different policies. Same consequence: the people who already have the least lose the most.

Artificial intelligence can help us detect disease earlier, sharpen a clinician’s differential diagnosis, and identify promising drugs faster. The real measure of progress is whether it helps us deliver better medicine—while preserving the human connection so core to great care

Leaders who fear accountability try to silence the voices that provide it. A free press doesn’t exist to make those in power comfortable. We won’t stop asking hard questions or speaking plainly—especially when the health of the American people is at stake.

Sept 11 was my first day of college. Its aftermath shaped my generation and later led many of us to serve. Tomorrow belongs to those who were taken—and to the families for whom that morning will never end. Their loss and their memories must always be sacred to our country.

Another proof that they want people to just die. In the places where foreign-trained doctors work, the choice isn't between "America First" or somebody who speaks with an accent. The choice is between a doctor with an accent who will go there, or no doctor at all.

Medical freedom? It’s the freedom to see a doctor without going broke. To breathe clean air and drink safe water. To live free from toxins we can actually prove are harmful. To have a world-class NIH discovering tomorrow’s cures. To make informed decisions based on evidence, not ideology.

Absolutely. 75+ for everyone. Could get the one lifetime vaccine recommendation as of 50 if you have a chronic medical condition. Right now it’s once lifetime. That may change over time, but that’s the best we know right now.

“Medical freedom” isn’t stripping health coverage from millions, gutting the protections that keep our air and water safe, or abruptly ending hundreds of clinical trials for future cures. That isn’t freedom. It is cruelty disguised as principle. @aliciamenendez.bsky.social

In all but very rare cases, splenic rupture has an identifiable cause: infection, cancer, inflammation, or trauma. A child lost their life. While it’s important to have the facts clearly delineated, it’s equally important to be respectful to the family who’s had a profound loss

Genuine healthcare leaders don’t wait for someone to die before deciding a disease matters Pneumonia matters. Encephalitis matters. Hospitalizations matter. A child struggling to breathe matters 170 hospitalizations, 3000 cases. No matter the spin, an abject failure for the world’s richest nation

At the federal level, an abysmal abdication of leadership on health. In California, @governor.ca.gov is showing what public leadership can still accomplish: free emergency albuterol in public schools—and a glimpse of what a better future can look like.

No risk to getting one. If you’ve had the series, you are still covered. I’d suggest it if you have an underlying medical condition AND live in a place where measles cases may be rising.
