Greatly enjoyed participating in this @JohnsHopkinsSPH podcast with @drJoshS and @DrPeterLurie on enhancing transparency of @CDCgov communications to rebuild public trust. Grading guidance and level of evidence could help. @DrDaveWeldon @MartyMakary https://t.co/IlcUt793rU

@thehill @samhsagov @DrGupta46 Matthew Strait from @DEAHQ gave a clear position that the DEA is here to be a partner, and that the agency should not interfere in the practice of medicine: "We are a public safety organization, we are not a public health organization." 5/n
