So grateful you escaped safelyvmy friend. What a world that seems to turn a blind eye to violence everywhere, and touches even you, a man of such peace and compassion. Heartbreaking. @DrTedros.
Our mission to negotiate the release of @UN staff detainees and to assess the health and humanitarian situation in #Yemen concluded today. We continue to call for the detainees' immediate release. As we were about to board our flight from Sanaβa, about two hours ago, the airport

More scary than the Shinning or Nightmare on Elm Street . Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said that former President Donald Trump has "promised" him "control of the public health agencies.". If true, Trump is creating a Halloween horror movie . Source: ABC News

I just spent several days with @richardbranson and @sufisal (Dr. Salman Ahmed) discussing the dangerous detention of former PM @ImranKhanPTI in Pakistan. As a physician and friend of Pakistan, I have watched with pain and sadness at his deterioriting health status while a.
It's not cricket. @ImranKhanPTI should be released immediately by Pakistanβs authorities. His arbitrary detention casts a dark shadow on respect for democracy and rule of law in Pakistan:

My colleagues and I have published a rebuttal in The Hill to the opinions and βalternative facts" about vaccines being promulgated by RFK Junior and former President Trump. The errors made in their data and judgment, sadly endangers all of our children
thehill.com
As fewer children die or are debilitated due to measles, mumps, rubella, diphtheria, tetanus and polio, we tend to forget that this is the result of an evidence-based childhood vaccination program.

The idea of separating CDC into such arbitrary component parts is as foolish as cutting genomics into two specialtiesβone that studies only the half of chomesome pairs that are even numberedβbut not oddβnumbered. And other other half into the study of the odd ones. Odd, indeed.
Eight former CDC directors write that they are "deeply concerned" that recommendations to cut CDC funding would cost lives and damage the economy in a First Opinion.

In India I saw scenes outside of smallpox wards when bedsheets of infected smallpox patients were washed like video below. Many outbreaks were traced back to practices like this. Saying Mpox βcannot be airborneβ is risky.
There is controversy over whether Mpox can be airborne. It is in the same Orthopox family as smallpox; and the last death from smallpox in history was from what we think an airborne spread through an HVAC system. Letβs not underestimate this virus as we have so many before.

JUST INβ W.H.O. Declares Global Emergency Over New Mpox Outbreak. The threat this time is deadlier. Since the beginning of this year, the Democratic Republic of Congo alone has reported more than 14,000 mpox cases and 524 deaths. Those most at risk include women and children

This is the most wonderful religious lesson I have heard in a very long time. This young man inspires me This young man uplifts me. The young man is a role model who should not only be listened to by all Christians, but by Americans of all religions. Thank you @jamestalaricoπ.

Excellent piece as usual from @EricTopol. Indomitable virus it is, but not unbeatable. It seems like so many peopleβ especially in positions of powerβ have given up trying. Thatβs what fuels the fire of the 5th year of the epidemic.
The new significant wave. It's hard to believe the we're well into our 5th year of this virus and not taking the requisite steps to gain control. Including updates on the new boosters and #LongCovid. In Ground Truths (link found in my profile)

β¦@DeanOrnishMDβ© and team congratulations on this important research published today showing slowing, even reversal, of some dementia symptoms due to #Alzheimerβs. As you say, much more research is needed but once again you are a pioneer my friend.
