This #LaborDay, keep food poisoning off the party menu.
✔️Slow cookers, chafing dishes, and warming trays keep hot foods hot.
✔️Coolers and bowls of ice keep cold foods cold.

ALT Two people are standing over an outdoor table with food and serving themselves. The table has bowls of fresh fruit and vegetables nestled in ice. A chafing dish is on the table with cooked vegetables and ribs. Text overlay states, “Serve food at a safe temperature to protect guests.”

I'm often asked (with a nervous laugh), "COVID was once-in-a-lifetime, right?"
Whether that's true depends in large part on the foundation and preparation we build now.
While we all want to move beyond COVID-19, we must learn from it's lessons if we want to be better prepared for the next pandemic @MeaganCFitz, @Alison_Galvani and I on what we need to keep in mind and build upon. commonwealthfund.org/blog/20…

Amazing comprehensive work by @dan_yamin @ArbelRonen + colleagues on booster safety (1st, 2nd, bivalent).
Temporary DECREASE in NON-Covid hospitalizations supports idea that infections exacerbate existing medical probs and boosters briefly prevent this.

Despite the pandemic, health care reform remains a neglected issue in the US. Our system lacks universal access, is expensive and yields mediocre outcomes overall.
Read @aaronECarroll on why it’s time for a productive debate on alternative approaches.

Aaaaah I've been using "best" since it became popular a free years ago and now I think I should transition to "best wishes"....???
My very favorite is "Godspeed" but I feel that one is very situational.

Lots of coverage today of the UK study that says breastfed kids are more likely to get good exam results.
This is the study: adc.bmj.com/content/early/20…
I can't possibly write another article about this because you'll think I'm obsessed, so here's a Twitter thread about it instead:

I would like to see @CDCgov establish a misinformation BS response swat team to quickly/publicly debunk this kind of nonsense. I do what I can as an individual (as do others), but I don’t have the bandwidth as an individual or funding to pay salaries for a small team to do this – at Houston, TX
Some parents and doctors may choose for a child to “go natural” or completely unvaccinated, which has the best overall outcomes in contemporary studies at this time.

While I will support the bipartisan budget agreement, I’m deeply disappointed that it slashes @NIH funding by approx. $500M.
It’s shameful that Rs would insist on cuts to med research as part of this deal.
As a member of the Approps Committee, I'll work to reverse these cuts.
