1) I’m not currently worried about the safety of milk (or eggs). I trust the pasteurization process- for now. H5N1 is far more likely to make a jump into humans by fomite or airborne route.
2) I AM concerned that viral fragments in milk indicate wide transmission in animals.

Congrats to Brandon M. Scott, who uses #MoveWithTheMayor to improve health for people throughout #Baltimore .

A sad result presaged by Steve Sidney in 2017 & 2018 National Forum Signature Reports (bit.ly/49THMHA).

Fortunately, we know how to get back on track. Prevention must begin early in life.

Facts:

U.S. invests $0.55 on health-related social needs per $1 spent on #healthcare .

Other OECD countries' ratio: $2 per $1 on healthcare.

People in those other countries have longer life expectancy.

The problem isn't accountability, it's that U.S. spending is upside down.

It’s always inspiring to talk with ⁦GladysMDHeart⁩. Grateful for her collaborations w/ ⁦National Forum⁩ to ⬆️ #cholesterol management & equitable access to #healthcare .

Are healthcare providers the best providers of healthy food & affordable housing?

No, but they're filling market failure gaps.

Most OECD countries have longer life expectancy than the U.S. despite spending less on healthcare because they invest in food & housing security.

Great to see Jamal Rana, MD at #ACC2024 . We discussed Dr. Rana's numerous articles illuminating ways to prevent #heartdisease and improve #HealthEquity .

This is an important piece, a WAKE UP piece, and is worth viewing.

Some people are using the #KeyBridge accident to promote an agenda that runs counter to America's heritage as 'one nation under God.' My response to tropes aimed at Brandon M. Scott & my former colleague, Karenthia A. Barber:

Last month the @milbankfund released its 2nd annual 'Health of US Primary Care Scorecard.' While Community Health Centers are mentioned as a bright spot, the report is critical reading to learn about the 5 main #PrimaryCare challenges they identify. ⬇️
