ER doc, public health professional, researcher, and former chief medical officer at the CDC. Working to improve health in communities while figuring out what is next for me
Great article by my former colleague ADM Brett Giroir who led Operation Warp Speed: "This speed and precision... to recognize and eliminate threats − from COVID to cancer − provides America a critical weapon against pandemics, bioweapons, and other deadly diseases"

Thank you @acepnation.bsky.social for standing with us. My time in the emergency department has shaped my commitment to ensuring the health of our communities. www.emergencyphysicians.org/press-releas...
Dr. Debra Houry has been a true champion for public health and emergency care, and as a valued member of the ACEP family, her leadership at the CDC has set a remarkable standard.
Enough is enough. The health of the country is in danger. Read our resignation letters: insidemedicine.substack.com/p/breaking-n...
The end of an era.
I ordered mine! @drdemetre.bsky.social @firedbutfighting.bsky.social
Wow. I guess not caring what a bully says about you makes an impact on the people you respect and love.

Thank you @jeremyfaust.bsky.social Demetre, Dan, and I ("D3") using our voices to raise the alarm for public health
Dr. Deb Houry (resigned from CDC yesterday) is giving live media interviews now outside the CDC. From what I can hear, she's speaking forcefully in favor of public health and against the nonsense the CDC is facing.
Understand: She is a very cautious person.
This means a lot! #USAnotRFK
