The government’s job is to protect Americans. Here's perfect distillation of what the Trump administration thinks about the best among us—US workers who put themselves in harm’s way to help others with Ebola. Watch this 8-second video I captured. It's real, live on the CDC’s website, as of May 27.

Yes, The White House tweeted about me today. So, in consultation with @medpagetoday.com, I felt that it was time for me to COME CLEAN with you all and give you an important personal health update!!! 😉😉😉

Here’s a clip

I don’t think there’s enough discourse about how ice cold this moment was. Look at Mike White here. Dead behind the eyes. It’s giving psycho killer vibes and he’s 100% committed to the bit. #survivor

NYC’s mayor @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social made a superb choice here. It also gave me the joy of being able to talk about a colleague on national television, as he assumes the role of #NYC Health Commissioner. The city is in great hands with Dr @alisterfmartin.bsky.social.

Clip #1 from Dr. Angela Rasmussen’s masterclass on pandemic preparedness (and the takedown of the NIH leadership’s anti-scientific essay on the topic). Know the facts. Full interview is here👇 insidemedicine.substack.com/p/nih-pandem... @angierasmussen.bsky.social

Tucker Carlson is no Christopher Hitchens. Not even the same galaxy. But he borrowed a Hitch classic and used it to completely destroy Ted Cruz today, and I’m here for it.

USAID update with @agawande.bsky.social. Feb 24, 2025. Our in-depth and up-to-date deep-dive on where things really stand in the Trump administration's assault on USAID, which has long been one of the United States' greatest assets. Full interview: insidemedicine.substack.com/p/usaid-upda...

I’ve been hanging out on two big social media platforms in China lately. After today, I sorta felt the need to apologize to everyone for the whole Trump pausing PEPFAR HIV relief/funding debacle. So here’s what I posted to my 25k followers on Weibo. I’ll post a few replies below.
