"Given that it occurred in June and there haven't been any more cases discovered, this probably isn't the leading edge of an outbreak," says @ScottGottliebMD on polio. "What we should be worried about is declining polio vaccination rates in certain parts of the country."
“We physically are on the wrong side of the tracks. It's like it's okay to pollute these neighborhoods because their populations are seen as expendable.”
"It's a lot more complicated than just stamping out the environmental hazards that are causing these injustices. Policymakers … are going to have to struggle with how to protect the residents who are there." — @Sameer_Siddiqi bit.ly/3xXxsxg

As our communities recover and rebuild from the devastating #MarshallFire we are calling for a whole-of-government approach to tackle wildfires.
As wildfire seasons turn into wildfire years, increasing in intensity & destruction, we have to provide more federal support.
This week, I led a letter with @RepCosta & @RepJoeNeguse to @POTUS calling for increased efforts to combat wildfires.
CA has experienced devastating wildfires over the last year & climate change has made the West more susceptible. We need action now to keep our communities safe.
