My @NYTimes oped: RFK Jr. can't outright ban vaccines, so he's tackling vaccination infrastructure instead. This week's meeting of the vaccine advisory council will be an exercise in political theater, not scientific debate. #publichealth #vaccines

It’s hard to convey how grieved my colleagues and I feel by the evisceration of CDC, NIH et al. It’s like a death in the family, except that it’s a mass-casualty situation. Our govt seems determined to handicap your MD/RN's ability to care for you.

Hey #MedTwitter --working on an article about how it feels to practice medicine when maybe you can't quite trust the "new versions" of the CDC, FDA, and vaccine advisory board. Send me an email with your thoughts and experiences. Anonymous okay.

Why do doctors write? “Readers got to climb into the doctor’s shoes—an experience that could be uncomfortable, at times repugnant, but undeniably eye-opening,” Danielle Ofri pens.

. Why Do Doctors Write? Doctors write all day—progress notes, consultations, referrals—a vast flow of utter dross. What I'm curious about--and what I'm trying to hash out in my article for The New Yorker--is why doctors take up literary writing. https://t.co/I9LoosrXDX
