Deploying lenacapavir will require rethinking who delivers HIV prevention, how it is financed, and what policy infrastructure must be built, and rebuilt, to match the science. | Forefront

Let other health care professionals help do the work that primary care physicians don’t have time to do, using the training they already have. | Forefront

@FedExHelp my package has been at a facility an hour from my house for 3 days. Can you give me an idea what is going on and when it might actually come?

I guess not? @FedEx @FedExHelp Can I come pick it up at the Perrysburg OH facility? I had another package arrive there the same day that was already delivered, could one just get lost in the facility??

So after my run-in with the chronic Lyme disease crowd on Twitter last week, I did some thinking about my use of the term "fake disease." Amazingly, a Twitter encounter led me to change my mind about how we refer to these bogus diagnoses. sciencebasedmedicine.org/fak…

Screening of healthcare workers for latent TB is a time- and labor-intensive annual flog* -- and, good news, is no longer recommended.
(*That's the official medical term.)

Graduation is always bittersweet for me...you’ve earned the celebration and I’m happy for that but at the same time you’ll be missed. Congrats class of 2019 🙂

Yet another example of shorter is better. Add to our data showing efficacy of 7d for GNR bacteremia, 5d for CAP, 5d for cellulitis. Why such hesitancy to use durations proven over and over and over again to be effective? Misguided fear that abx are "safe" .
NEW 🔥 in CID
Short-course(median 9d) therapy had a similar odds of recurrent infection/death within 30 d as those receiving longer course(median 16d) for pseudomonas aeruginosa BSI. How Long is Long Enough? 🤔 @SIDPharm @accpinfdprn @BradSpellberg academic.oup.com/cid/advance…
So there is this (annals.org/aim/fullarticle/2…) new study to add to the library of evidence that vaccines do not cause autism (in other news, water is still wet and gravity is still in effect). Naturally it's been in the lay press (cnn.com/2019/03/04/health/mm…, nytimes.com/2019/03/05/healt…) 1/2
These stories from the lay press are posted to social media and the #ProPlague people are out in force. Rather than start a bunch of social media fights with these people I’m going to leave this here. It’s amazing how comfortable the #AntiVax crowd is occupying mount stupid 2/2
Hey ONU p4s! I was just looking at my calendar and did you know that 2 months from today is the unofficial first day of ID? It’s true! Enjoy your spring break 😀

Antibiotics are totally unique among drugs. FDA approved indications reflect inappropriate use. Appropriate use is off label. Maddening.
