Poor indoor air quality (IAQ) impacts kids and communities across our nation. Today, @RepBrianFitz and I introduced the bipartisan Indoor Air Quality and Healthy Schools Act to address this threat, improve IAQ nationwide, and protect public health. https://t.co/YhKfsXCquO

Kennedy’s withdrawal from GAVI is globalizing his anti vaccination campaign. GAVI is the most cost effective organization in global health. Stopping funds will cost lives not only in LMICs but also the US, as vaccine preventable diseases like measles spread across borders

This is a remarkable interview. Maybe at some point he’ll realize that the dream job as NIH head is a Pyrrhic victory if you’re overseeing but trying to not be blamed for the destruction of US leadership in science and technology and handing of the crown to China.

The Gain of Fiction EO is remarkable because 1. release timing means that biosafety officers had to do a lot of work for nothing--intentional disrespect? 2. doesn't try to exclude vaccine development 3. Ignores scientific evidence supporting a natural origin for SARS-CoV-2.

This is an outstanding video explaining the benefits of building Corsi-Rosenthal boxes in a school. Lots of learning. Lots of clean air. Lots of happy (and smarter) students. Many thanks to all at Red Rock Elementary for helping to make it happen.
(1/2) Hear how frequent illness and poor air quality posed major problems for students at Red Rock Elementary, and how Corsi-Rosenthal Boxes boosted their health and ability to learn. Learn more at: https://t.co/YuB4Pzteyl

The HPV vaccine (Gardasil) is literally life-saving. Cervical cancer cases have dropped to zero in Scotland because of this vaccine. Men also benefit, because HPV also causes penile cancer. Protect your kids-- get them vaccinated.

A study published by Public Health Scotland finds that the HPV vaccine is "highly effective".

There is absolutely waste in government- yet taking an ax as opposed to a scalpel to the problem is inevitably going to cause harm to our collective health and safety. Hoping the administration reconsiders firing EIS officers. They’re the outbreak equivalent of Navy Seals.
1/ After residency at Mass General Hospital, I reported to Atlanta to meet my fellow CDC Epidemic Intelligence Service Officers. I have never felt so intimidated by my peers The best and the brightest, they were star clinicians, had served in disaster zones; MD/PhDs and MSF.

You drink 1 to 2 liter bottles of water every day. You inhale 5,500 2 liter bottles air every day. Filled with viruses, bacteria, fungi, PM 1, PM 2.5, PFA's, - all filtered breath by breath by your lungs. We filter our water - like you can filter/ clean your air. 📌 thread.

A true shero led the largest filter build in history! Just saw her...she is still standing and on way to deliver over 400 air filters to LA!!!
It’s 9am and the volunteers keep flowing in. We are more organized than ever, building CR boxes as fast as we can for folks impacted by the #lafires. @joaquinlife and I have been trading hot tips as we work to build nearly 1,000 CR boxes in these first critical weeks.

Great effort and impact. Thanks to @kprather88 for the assist. @CRFoundationUS
PHASE 2 of the @CRFoundationUS funded BIG BUILD has officially begun. We are cutting 20” squares and the amazing @kprather88 has offered to cut the circles with her fancy machine. 512 MORE CR boxes are coming to help with the #lafires

Thread ---- As of this weekend the Corsi-Rosenthal Foundation has provided for over 1,100 DIY air cleaners in shared indoor spaces in Los Angeles. Our amazing Board member, Liesl McConchie, has built & delivered 650 (w/ great assembly assist in past week from Kim Prather).
And … the rest of the fans have arrived! And … all the filters! It’s time to build! 💪🏼 @CRFoundationUS #lafires

Important to filter indoor air during and after fires. These figures from Dr. Pawel Misztal show they can work to reduce both particles/smoke and toxic gases if you use a combo of filters (MERV and Odor Filtrete).
