Honored to contribute to this superb issue on The Liver in Systemic Disease. Grateful to @PaulYKwo for the opportunity, and congratulations to @AMLiapakis, Ira Jacobson, and all the authors on their outstanding work!!!
The science is not ambiguous. Postponing HBV vaccine exposes newborns to preventable, lifelong risks. The universal birth dose has protected millions & is one of our strongest defenses. It must remain the standard for every child. Your voice drives that change. @RepShontelBrown
Two former FDA insiders share policy and practice perspectives in a candid discussion—moderated by yours truly, Adily Elmi, MD, MPH. @drsforamericalinkedin.com/posts/doctorsfo…
Remember that revolving door this @US_FDA said they were going to close? Seems that's taking a backseat in today's announcement of a former biotech CEO (Stanford affiliated) as the top drug regulator directing the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research: bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Grateful to Dr. Paul Kwo for the opportunity to co-author The Liver in Sepsis in The Liver in Systemic Disease. An important and timely chapter exploring the liver’s central role during sepsis. @PaulYKwoauthors.elsevier.com/a/1lA1z…
DFA's FDA Task Force is deeply concerned about remarks made by Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. during yesterday’s Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee hearing.

Doctors for America (DFA) strongly denounces the mass layoffs across the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) agencies and the extreme detriment that these layoffs will have on public health.

🚨 Cutting employees from the U.S. Health and Human Services Department means fewer experts protecting public health, responding to crises, and ensuring patients get the care they need. Fewer workers = more risk for patients & physicians.

🚨 @drsforamerica represented by @Public_Citizen filed a lawsuit against the administration's unlawful removal of clinical information & datasets from federal health agencies' sites. Removing these critical resources we use to provide evidence-based care puts patients at risk.
Our FDA Task Force is on Capitol Hill to urge Congress to prioritize patients by increasing FDA funding for FY 2025. It is crucial that the FDA continues to serve as the “gold standard,” & that decisions based on industry influence do not undermine our institutions.
We oppose the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to be the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services. Please click on the link below to contact your Senators to urge them NOT to support RFK Jr's nomination to lead HHS.
