"Over the past two months, the United States has made financial commitments that hint at a limited return to global health and humanitarian assistance partnerships, after the abrupt severing of many of those relationships a year and a half ago." https://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/02/health/trump-health-aid-state-department.html #PublicHealth #GlobalHealth #ForeignAid #ForeignAssistance #Gavi #immunizations #vaccines #UNICEF #food #nutrition #ebola #HIV #PEPFAR #USAID #USpol

"In a letter dated July 28, Democratic Sens. Elizabeth Warren (Mass.), Angela Alsobrooks (Md.), Richard Blumenthal (Conn.) and Andy Kim (N.J.) wrote, 'We are seeking clarity on whether this settlement may have resulted in a significant financial award to one of your sons, raising fresh concerns about conflicts of interest you may possess' as HHS Secretary." https://www.medpagetoday.com/washington-watch/washington-watch/122404 #PublicHealth #HPV #vaccines #immunizations #ethics #ConflictOfInterest #courts #settlement #HHS

"It’s frustrating. How can I make people understand I have a very genuine concern for their child? And I know they share that concern, but maybe it’s not the same degree of concern, because they don’t understand the illness and how severe it can become." https://kffhealthnews.org/public-health/utah-measles-outbreak-vaccines-doctors-pediatricians-speak-out/ #healthcare #PublicHealth #measles #vaccines #immunizations #pediatricians #PrimaryCare #prevention #utah

"The specialists told ABC News that there are several reasons for the U.S. breaking measles case records for the second year in a row, including declining vaccination rates, people not fearing the measles virus, a loss of trust in public health institutions and a perceived lack of clear guidance and communication from the nation's top public health officials." https://abcnews.com/Health/measles-cases-2026-set-surpass-years-total/story?id=134740486 #PublicHealth #measles #outbreak #vaccines #immunizations #HHS #CDC

"The cause of death for an Air Force trainee who died last month at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio was influenza, according to Rep. Joaquin Castro, a Texas Democrat. Keon Talik McDaniel, 25, died June 16, according to his obituary. Influenza swept the air force base in June, one month after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made the flu shots voluntary, rather than mandatory, for American troops." https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/influenza-vaccines/air-force-trainee-san-antonio-texas-died-flu #PublicHealth #flu #influenza #vaccines #immunizations #USpol

"Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is continuing his battle to remake federal vaccine policy, this time by rewriting the charter of a federal committee that wields enormous influence over childhood immunizations to shift its focus beyond vaccines." https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/childhood-vaccines/new-acip-charter-could-allow-rfk-jr-further-restrict-vaccine-access-critics-say #PublicHealth #HHS #ACIP #vaccines #immunizations #ChildrensHealth #physicians

"A trove of newly released internal emails offers a new look at how the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention navigated some of the most controversial public health decisions of President Trump's second term — and, at times, chafed at pressure from Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his team." https://www.cbsnews.com/news/internal-emails-rfk-jr-cdc-bernie-sanders/ #PublicHealth #CDC #HHS #flu #vaccines #immunizations #ACIP #leadership #USpol

ICYMI: "Parents must realize that refusing vaccinations doesn’t just put your own child at risk. It puts other children at risk. I don’t know where Renae picked up measles. It’s one of the most contagious viruses that exists, and it could have been from anywhere. That’s why herd immunity is so important." https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/21/opinion/measles-child-britain-vaccination.html #PublicHealth #measles #vaccinations #immunizations #ChildrensHealth

"In the report titled 'Robert F. Kennedy Jr. vs. Public Health,' shown first to The Hill, Protect Our Care highlights the secretary’s actions on vaccines, medical research, food as well as his apparent aims of mobilizing his 'Make America Healthy Again' base as a key voting block ahead of the midterms." https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/5831996-protect-our-care-kennedy-report/ #PublicHealth #healthcare #HHS #NIH #MAHA #immunizations #biomedical #research #food #diet

"State officials have reported 28 more measles cases in the last two weeks, bringing the statewide total to at least 175 infections so far this year.
