A federal court has blocked major changes to U.S. vaccine policy after ruling the advisory committee was improperly reconstituted.
In this video I explain why the decision is a major win for evidence-based medicine, scientific transparency, and public health.

The WISEeR prior authorization program continues to deny and delay care to Washington seniors through its use of AI.
I’m urging the Trump Administration to reconsider its plan to implement this program in Medicare, which will hurt seniors by denying them benefits.
