NEW: Flu is surging unusually early in some parts of the western US. Seattle Childrens’ health system has been seeing case levels they typically see in early December. Experts saying consider getting shot now instead of waiting. My story.

Perpetual cuts is simply unsustainable. Don’t cut Medicare payments and support physicians.

With multiple potential Cyclospora outbreaks and awful messaging from the top, people deserve facts—not guesswork

ALT "I currently employ two staff members for the sole purpose of trying to get authorization. That's roughly $100,000 in overhead to my practice. This doesn't count the number of times we did a procedure that is a covered service..." - Nathaniel G., MD, New York #FixPriorAuth

A coalition of leading medical professional societies and public health organizations today announced that the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts has issued a preliminary injunction to stay Secretary Kennedy's appointments to the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), as the appointments were likely made in violation of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA). Judge Brian Murphy also stayed all votes taken by the now-stayed ACIP: f.mtr.cool/efybugzzig

A new ethics policy paper from ACP published in @AnnalsofIM says the term ‘provider’ should not be used to describe physicians, and using the blanket term undermines physicians’ ethical responsibility, clinical integrity, and professionalism: f.mtr.cool/rejcapvttv

Vaccines do not cause autism. Neither does acetaminophen (Tylenol) use in pregnancy. Decades of rigorous science have disproven these myths. Spreading them puts public health at risk. The AAFP is committed to science and supporting families. Read our full statement here: bit.ly/48AlBZE

At the @WSMA_update we urge you to get your medical advice from physicians and not politicians. Please contact your physician or health care provider if you have questions about your health, vaccines or medications, both over the counter or prescriptions. #yourcareisatourcore
