Malevolent incompetence. Who made the firing decisions? Why has no new qualified nominee for permanent CDC Director been named?

Friday’s layoffs swept up scientists involved in responding to disease outbreaks and running an influential journal. Officials said the mistaken dismissals were being rescinded.

I spoke with doctors who have treated presidents and VPs about Trump's return to Walter Reed — and they had questions. “The answer that this was just part of his usual annual, or semi-annual visit, is disingenuous,” @JReinerMD told me. w/@victoria_craw

What prompted the medical evaluation yesterday at Walter Reed and what did the tests show? Why not tell the country? I spoke to @ddiamond about this.

Wait. It wasn’t bullying in 2021 to ask members of Congress if they were vaccinated for COVID. Nearly all were vaccinated but many refused to disclose that to their constituents or urge them to get the shot. After the vaccine was released to everybody in spring 2021, if you lived
It was a low form of journalistic bullying when the media made these inquiries about covid vaccination status of politicians in 2021, but given the social mania of the time, I can sort of understand it. But in 2025? Do better, @washingtonpost.

Another takeaway from the president’s medical report yesterday is that when it comes to vaccinations in general, and the COVID vaccine in particular, he did what you should do. He took the advice of his own doctor.

I have some questions: What clinical concern prompted this evaluation? Which specific advanced imaging tests were performed and what are their results? Is further testing planned? Was a cognitive test performed? Did testing address the bruising on the president’s hand?
The readout from President Trump's visit to Walter Reed today says he got his flu shot and Covid booster.

I invoked a little Mike Tyson during a tricky case and reminded my fellow that, “everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face.”

The president returned from Walter Reed after 3.5 hours. No word yet from the WH about what testing was performed.

During today’s cabinet meeting RFK Jr referred to a video of a woman taking Tylenol “with a baby in her placenta”, and said there’s evidence of a link between circumcision & autism. America deserves serious people running health policy.

My husband Elkana has been in Hamas captivity for two long years, still waiting for his freedom. I have no words left anymore — enough is enough. Bring Elkana and all the hostages home now. Immediately. 🎗️🙏

Members of Kibbutz Kfar Aza stood together at the start of a ceremony marking the second anniversary of October 7. At 6:29 a.m. — the moment the Hamas attack began — the community stood in tearful silence, remembering the 50 neighbors who were murdered and the 19 who were taken

It’s been 6 weeks since Dr Susan Monarez was fired from her job as CDC Director and there’s still no nominee to fill that post. Mr President, you can’t make America healthy again without a qualified physician, scientist, or epidemiologist running that agency.

I told a patient who was still on a lot of oxygen that we would let her eat when her O2 requirement was a bit lower. I asked her if she craved anything and she said, “pizza”. That evening my resident got her a pizza. That’s what I’m looking for in a young doctor. No one cares how
