"Ram Raghavan started researching ticks more than 16 years ago when he learned that a 7-year-old child died from Rocky Mountain spotted fever, a tick-borne disease. His daughter was 7 years old too, and he believed – and still does – that nobody should die from a tick bite."

"Some public health specialists told ABC News that monitoring travel exposures is an important part of containing and tracing the spread of a disease.

However, they warned that broader bans can have unintended consequences that may negatively impact global public health and hinder containment efforts that should be considered when making these decisions."

"The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, under Trump Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has quietly removed a federal public health webpage offering explicit safer-sex and harm reduction guidance for mpox. The deletion confirms fears among LGBTQ+ health experts that the Trump administration is once again illegally scrubbing medically vetted information tied to queer communities from government websites."

🌍 How can citizen-generated air quality data support better health outcomes?

We hosted the first #CitiObs Citizen Science Dialogue — 50+ participants from around the world discussing air quality, health, and community-led monitoring.

Key takeaway: citizen science is not only about data — it's about awareness, trust, education, and action.

Recording & resources coming soon.

📘 The 2024 UNSCEAR report draws on a wide range of scientific sources — but the criteria used to select those publications matter enormously for how we interpret its conclusions.

Pages 13–14 detail the methodology. Essential reading for anyone working in radiation protection, environmental health, or public health policy.

#Trump admin shutting key #US researchers out of #global #virus response talks, documents & sources reveal

Key officials responsible for leading US #research on #InfectiousDisease threats have been #barred from speaking directly with the #WorldHealthOrganization [#WHO] — effectively shutting some of them out of the global discussions on virus #outbreaks, according to documents & multiple sources.

The Bundibugyo strain of Ebola spreading in central Africa is a distinct species from the Zaire strain that existing approved vaccines target. A claim submitted to IsItCap this week asks whether the current vaccines can stop it.

#Ebola #Bundibugyo #vaccines #publichealth #factcheck #science #virology

the current ebola outbreak is such a tragedy... and every time i read something about it, i think about the gutting of USAID and the evisceration of CDC and how the US pulled funding from WHO.... and all the death that could have been avoided.... and all the hard work of the people in those institutions who spent decades setting up global public health measures...

Meanwhile on the #Ebola front, the Democratic Republic of Congo ( #DRC ) is experiencing what is now the 2nd worst #EbolaOutbreak on record, and it promises to get worse…a lot worse. This virus strain is rare, which is part of the problem. There is no vaccine yet. The outbreak is worsened by several factors, including: armed conflict in the area; geographic isolation; lack of contact tracking; and finally, the loss of USAID $$ necessary to support prevention and outbreak support. So the #TrumpRegime is at least partially responsible for this #PublicHealth disaster. #Africa

Vaccines teach our immune system to recognise and fight specific germs—no infection needed. 🌱

- They’re rigorously tested for safety.
- Different formats exist (live‑attenuated, mRNA, protein subunit, etc.).
- Widespread immunisation cuts disease spread, protects the vulnerable, and eases strain on health systems.

“I’ve been organizing for 15 years, and it’s always been the case that women are leading our fights,” said Danny Cendejas, a campaign specialist for MediaJustice, who works with grassroots movements across the country that are opposing data centers. “We are definitely seeing everyone join the fight, but we have to recognize the truth, and it’s women, trans, queer and nonbinary people leading the work.”

"The DRC’s Ituri and North Kivu provinces, the outbreak epicenters, have been compromised by international aid cuts and armed conflict that has led to significant displacement.

"Another challenge is distrust of outside authorities and the spread of misinformation, which led youths to torch a hospital in Ituri province yesterday after authorities refused to release to the body of a local football player who died of suspected Ebola.

"To combat misinformation, volunteers from the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies are going door to door advising people in Mongbwalu on how to protect themselves and when to seek care."

Andrew Huberman has repeatedly emphasized that psychedelics interact with neuroplasticity and learning states.

We are aligned with this direction.

→ Heightened plasticity increases the importance of post-experience infrastructure, monitoring, and continuity systems.

“Let’s not care about what the government does”.

If you do not care what your government does, people lacking adequate food and housing will be subject to health problems that can lead to early death or disability. More on that: open.substack.com/pub/anniezhe…

With #Ebola cases rising in the #DRC it’s worth comparing the present day picture where the US has totally stepped away from international cooperation on #PublicHealth. Even before Trump gutted US capabilities, the last big Ebola outbreak 10 years ago, we saw the unsurprising disaster that resulted from putting outbreak management in private hands cbsnews.com/news/american-comp…

Profit-seeking at the expense of everything else removes our ability to manage public health properly

"For now, what are most alarming are not the outbreaks themselves but the slow and uncoordinated responses by the institutions that Americans rely on to keep them safe, including the U.S. government and the World Health Organization. If the world cannot properly handle known threats that it has contained before, then it is dangerously unprepared for the next novel one."

The Ebola outbreak erupting from the Ituri province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo continues to escalate wildly, with cases nearing 750, deaths reported at 177, and around 1,400 contacts now being traced, the World Health Organization reported in a press briefing Friday. The latest numbers already place the outbreak as the third largest on record, though it was only first reported a week ago, on May 15. And WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the outbreak is still “spreading rapidly.” #ebola #EbolaOutbreak #DRC #Africa #Virus #Virology #PublicHealth
