ICE has been terrorizing our communities and now has murdered two people, on camera, before the world. The agents who committed these murders must be held accountable, and congress must stop funding this scourge on our country.
Our latest study in @jama.com on trends in county-level vaccine exemptions, demonstrating geographic pockets of high vaccine exemptions and high susceptibility to vaccine-preventable diseases. Great collab with @nbcnews.com colleagues and our Stanford team. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...
Same mistakes. Same arrogance. Same risks. We know where this road leads.

60 MINUTES CORRESPONDENT: βOur story was screened 5x and cleared by both CBS attorneys and Standards and Practices. It is factually correct. In my view, pulling it now is not an editorial decision, it is a political one.β #CBSNewsMAX #BariWeiss

Cool work! Was just thinking that someone needs to do this analysis as we need better quantitative estimates. Reaffirms concern that studies using cross-sectional HH IGRA to investigate determinants of infectiousness (e.g. symptoms) are going to have major limitations.

NEW @nejm.org: We synthesized 511 recent studies on Covid-19, RSV & flu vaccines for 2025-26. With federal advisory processes disrupted, clinicians & the public need rigorous, independent evidence synthesis.
Here's what we found: π§΅

Overall,only 50% of PDL released during TB therapy completed treatment successfully within 8 months. These findings highlight the critical need to develop & invest in systems for supportive transitional care. Work w/Yasmine Mabene @yiranliu.bsky.social @juliocroda.bsky.social @josebampi.bsky.social
The risk of unfavorable outcomes was 40% higher among those transferred during treatment and 60% higher among those released during treatment. Those released during the intensive phase (first two months) of therapy had twice the risk of poor outcomes. 4/5
In this new study, by linking TB notification data with incarceration and mortality databases, we found that one-third of individuals who were treated for TB in prisons were transferred to another prison or released during therapy. 3/5

Gaps in medical care at this transition also threaten the health of PDL. While incarcerated individuals have better TB outcomes than the general population in Brazil, outcomes for individuals who are released while on treatment has been less clear. 2/5
The transition from prison to community is often a socially and medically vulnerable moment for persons deprived of liberty (PDL). Our previous work found that PDL in Brazil have 3x β¬οΈ risk of mortality after prison release compared with others in their community 1/5 journals.plos.org/plosmedicine...
Jeanne Marrazzo and Kathy Neuzil are known for their integrity, their selflessness and their scientific rigor. Their voices carry enormous weight in the scientific community. #NIH
We are heartbroken by the death of Mariam Abu Dagga, a freelance photographer who frequently worked with Doctors Without Borders in #Gaza.
Mariam was one of at least 20 people killed during Israelβs horrendous attacks on the Nasser medical complex on August 25, 2025.
#BREAKING π¨ Four journalists, including Reuters cameraman Hussam al-Masri, are among 20 dead in an Israeli strike on Gaza's Nasser hospital
The second strike was captured live on television as rescue crews were seen in the building attempting evacuate the injured
We developed a very low-cost, low-complexity approach that leverages colorimetric detection of Salmonella Typhi bacteriophages to monitor its distribution in wastewater, with demonstration data from Nepal, Brazil, Ivory Coast, and Niger. Results now published here:
journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...
Wastewater-based epidemiology & surveillance have made enormous strides in recent years, demonstrating utility in characterizing pathogen distributions in populations. However, current methods are too costly to be scalable in LMICs where the need for improved disease surveillance is greatest. (1/2)
