“The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) is dedicated to improving the health and well-being of children” object to a rigged know-nothing bunch of anti-vaxx RFK political, partisan nominees.
Today we filed a motion asking the First Circuit to expedite our appeal of the district court's order in the AAP lawsuit that left ACIP—the nation's vaccine advisory committee—without a quorum. AAP opposes our motion. I've been consistent from day one: I do not want to take vaccines away from anyone. Our policy changes preserved access and coverage. But the court's order has left ACIP unable to carry out its core responsibilities. As a result, the committee cannot issue new recommendations, review newly approved vaccines, or complete important work ahead of the fall flu season. A functioning ACIP is essential to ensuring that vaccine recommendations remain grounded in evidence and available to the families and providers who rely on them. Families, physicians, insurers, and public health programs deserve certainty—not paralysis. That's why we're asking for expedited review. Our appeal seeks to restore a functioning ACIP so the vaccine recommendation process can continue, and families, physicians, and public health programs have the guidance they need.

When the NYT published a story questioning Sec. Kennedy's engagement - including the time he spends at #HHS - he angrily retorted that anyone curious about how much time he spends in the office could consult his online calendar. STAT has tried. It is not available. statnews.com/2026/06/11/rfk-…

“This is on track to be one of the largest Ebola outbreaks in history. It’s already the third largest and growing quickly,” says CFR global health expert @spsaki. Psaki, who worked to track and contain biological threats during the Biden administration, explains what social and political factors contributed to the recent outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and the threat it poses outside the region.

Moving testimony from Laura Brennan's parents, calling for people to take the HPV vaccine
At the age of 26, Laura Brennan passed away from #CervicalCancer, a vaccine-preventable disease. "The HPV vaccine saves lives. It could have saved hers." Bernie and Larry narrate the heartbreaking loss of their daughter. 
 This is their story 👇

And Germany may well be more prepared than others.
The recent Ebola case treated at Berlin's renowned Charité Hospital shows that Germany is insufficiently prepared for such incidents. The hospital's CEO says the country needs to boost its health security.

This could have some perverse consequences, to put it mildly. The most obvious policy measure would be to ban the advertising of prescription drugs to the general public - as in the EU.
RFK Jr: "GROUNDbreaking HISTORIC WIN for American Health!" "For the 1st time in history, doctors will finally get PAID to take patients OFF unnecessary medications...to DEPRESCRIBE harmful pharmaceuticals." No more rewarding over-medication. This is the beginning of putting patients first, reversing polypharmacy, and delivering true healing. Wellness over pills. Freedom over dependency.

Confunden una PCR no concluyente que luego da negativo con un positivo. Confunden covid con hantavirus. Confunden caso con contacto. Confunden IA con informe científico. Cuando acabemos la emergencia habrá que reflexionar del peligro de quienes siembran confusión con la salud.

And this why I would like to see the EU include journalists in their preparatory exercises
En una crisis sanitaria, cada periodista que informa con rigor es un agente de salud pública.

Rastreo exhaustivo y minucioso, sin dejar un solo cabo suelto. Así funciona un sistema de vigilancia epidemiológica robusto como el nuestro. Por eso era importante que este operación inédita se llevara a cabo en España. Es un orgullo ponerlo al servicio del mundo.

And there's the rub
Replying to @OliverVarhelyi
I look forward to working with payers to improve access to new therapies while keeping health systems sustainable.

Good news for doctors who qualified in the UK before Brexit. France is updating its laws so that qualifications will be recognised.

Real-time clinical trials could fundamentally transform the clinical trial landscape.

Most beszéltem Magyar Péterrel, hogy gratuláljak neki a magyarországi győzelméhez! Franciaország üdvözli a demokratikus részvétel győzelmét, a magyar nép ragaszkodását az Európai Unió értékeihez, valamint Magyarország európai elkötelezettségét. Együtt lépjünk előre egy szuverénebb Európa felé, kontinensünk biztonságáért, versenyképességünkért és demokráciánkért.

I think we have a pretty serious problem. It is not the role of a NATO Secretary General to make political comments about a member state of the Alliance. It is even a sheer violation of his mandate, which requires complete neutrality. A stern warning is in order. #Daddy
'The president doing this is crucial. I've seen the polling, but I really hope the American people will be with him because he's doing this to make the whole world safer" -- NATO Secretary Mark Rutte

The news that Orbán’s people inform Moscow about EU Council meetings in every detail shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone. We’ve had our suspicions about that for a long time. That’s one reason why I take the floor only when strictly necessary and say just as much as necessary.
