@Vanguard As a customer, I’m angry at your decision to stop allowing Donor-Advised Giving Funds to donate to the Southern Poverty Law Center, which is an IRS-approved charity. @splcenter As you know, the federal investigation is likely politically motivated, with no basis. 1/2

Research shows enhanced firearm buyer licensing laws and removal of firearms from violence-prone individuals reduce murders and suicides. Safe storage of firearms also works. The public wants sensible gun laws. publichealth.jhu.edu/center-…

We need improved flu vaccines that can adapt to variants more nimbly, but because of @RFKJr_Official’s unscientific animus toward mRNA vaccines, @US_FDA refused to review Moderna’s new mRNA flu vaccine. Shame on Drs. Makary and Prasad. @DrMakaryFDA @VPrasadMDMPH
@DrMakaryFDA @VPrasadMDMPH As an epidemiologist and retired FDA employee, I’m appalled that you refuse to review Moderna’s new mRNA flu vaccine after FDA previously approved the clinical trial design. If you’re pro-science and pro-innovation, review the application fairly.

I am sad and angry. Your reporting is excellent and courageous. Jeff Bezos should either sell the Washington Post or make it a nonprofit. I canceled my Amazon Prime Membership to protest the mass layoffs at the Post. #savethepost

I disagree with the Holocaust Museum. Nazis vilified Jews; the Trump Admin. vilifies immigrants. Nazis imprisoned Jews in death camps; ICE detains immigrants in inhumane conditions. If we ignore persecution, we are complicit.
Anne Frank was targeted and murdered solely because she was Jewish. Leaders making false equivalencies to her experience for political purposes is never acceptable. Despite tensions in Minneapolis, exploiting the Holocaust is deeply offensive, especially as antisemitism surges.

Time to fire RFK Jr. POTUS had the foresight to spend billions developing vaccines against COVID-19 at warp speed. The ignorant and arrogant Secretary of HHS, RFK Jr., is endangering all of us with his anti-vaccine & anti-science quackery. #FireRFKJr @POTUS @HouseGOP @SenateGOP

These are the words of a lunatic who does not belong in government, much less as our nation's top health official.
It is dangerous to allow him to oversee ALL federal health research and public health infrastructure. It is never too late to do the right thing. Fire RFK Jr.

Physician-Senators: If you speak out against Sec. RFK Jr.’s decision to fire all 17 experts from CDC’s vaccine advisory committee, you can get RFK Jr. to reverse this harmful action. Your voters need your leadership. @SenBillCassidy @SenRandPaul @RogerMarshallMD @SenJohnBarrasso

A shocking failure of MD leadership to protect hospital patients and staff at Clifton Perkins Hospital. Doctors and @AFSCME repeatedly notified MD of the risks. State government culture must change: Listen to workers and their unions. @GovWesMoore wapo.st/4eZb5es

@DemGovs Please advise Pres. Biden that he needs to stop running for reelection. Polls have long shown that voters are concerned about his age and fitness for office. Recent polls show Trump is leading in battleground states. We need a younger and more compelling Dem. candidate.

.@eleanornorton @POTUS @VP The current moment presents an opportunity for the federal government to lead the way by ending solitary confinement and creating incentives for states and localities to do the same. Help pass the End Solitary Confinement Act. p2a-files.s3.amazonaws.com/p…

Dear President Biden: You should be proud of your legacy. For the good of our country, please announce that you will not run in 2024. The polls show that you will lose to Trump and other potential GOP candidates. The risk of authoritarians taking over is too high. 🇺🇸

Help! The vaccines.gov website is not working. It claims there are no updated COVID-19 vaccines within 100 miles, although local drugstores have the updated vaccine and are accepting appointments. @CDCDirector @PeoplesCDC

Kudos to NYTimes reporters for excellent journalism. @MedicareGov, private insurers, & state medical boards must protect patients from harmful and unnecessary procedures. @US_FDA should demand post-approval safety & effectiveness research for these devices. @DrCaliff_FDA

Merck: Drop your groundless lawsuit. Every other business in America expects to negotiate prices with buyers. Allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices is long overdue. @Merck

Silver line to Dulles is new. I took it to Dulles recently, had a relaxing ride, and paid $2. Taxi would’ve been $50-$60. Parking would’ve been $12-$19/day. Save money & read a novel: Take Metro to Dulles. #wmata #Silverline
12 Mar 2023
The new stations accounted for about 3,700 daily trips, or 1.4 percent of the rail system’s total, according to Metro data wapo.st/421JALH

Elon Musk’s tweet attacking Anthony Fauci is the final straw for me. Twitter had been a good resource for learning from other researchers, but the anti-science disinformation coming from @elonmusk and others on the right is dangerous.
