Worth your time to read. From @kkjetelina.bsky.social
Shared decision-making, informed consent, and the rhetoric of false empowerment: How HHS misrepresents SCDM, which is used by doctors in a very specific way - it does not mean "let's talk". open.substack.com/pub/yourloca... via @kmpanthagani.bsky.social
Wondering why there's such a fuss about pushing some #vaccine recommendations to "shared clinical decision making"? The term is being conflated with "informed consent," suggesting it's about empowering parents. This isn't that; good take here. yourlocalepidemiologist.substack.com/p/shared-dec...
Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.
White. Hot. Rage.
Tonight you can use this link for one reason and one reason only: you have to say something nice about yourself.
But it’s anonymous so go hog wild. No one will know you were bragging on yourself this hard.
That we're in a place, at a time, when someone has to write this headline, this article — it's almost unfathomable. Please do read @krutikakuppalli.bsky.social's take. www.statnews.com/2026/01/12/m...
Sad events here at #ADA26 - ADA has chosen the side of this administration - pretending it's unsafe to an invited federal speaker to hand out an editorial - over supporting its own leadership who've dedicated countless volunteer hours to the org's right to protest.

A year ago I warned what would happen if the US tore down our disease detection system around the world
With Hantavirus & Ebola we are seeing VERY clearly what we’ve lost
And why it matters
Read my @theatlantic.com piece from last year outlining what happened

This line from @kkjetelina.bsky.social 's latest substack regarding the ebola outbreak just hit me like a brick.
The vaccine schedule change is "one of the most opaque & destabilizing public health decisions I’ve seen," says @kkjetelina.bsky.social
"The result is painfully predictable: fewer children will be vaccinated, and children will be harmed"
