This decision — & other federal efforts to undermine well-established science about vaccine safety — puts everyone at risk, especially when we are currently experiencing the worst U.S. flu season in more than a decade, says IDSA President Tina Tan, MD, FIDSA, FPIDS, FAAP.

We worked for months with USAID to build an $85,000,000 project to end TB in two regions of the Philippines.

I'm encouraged to see IDSA and the HIV Medicine Association speaking up - all healthcare organizations should be alarmed by these actions and also speak up
This is another significant step backwards in public health.
Please speak against this @vanhollen.senate.gov
Now the government thinks it is acceptable to remove public health information from the CDC website? STI guidelines - gone. Information about health disparities in LGBTQ populations? Gone.
This is not acceptable.
I got excited to see OnlyOffice mentioned :) I married into a Linux family and have used OnlyOffice a bit. It's taken some getting used to but seems to be decent
This is very concerning - thanks for sharing. I'll be reaching out to my representatives tonight
