  1. A new #Forbes article from @drjudystone about the abysmal decision of the #HICPAC committee to remove protections for patients in hospitals, by reducing respiratory precautions.

    Awful, terrifying decision, for business and liability reasons. It now goes to #MandyCohen, the head of the #CDC.

  2. KFF Health News had an interesting story yesterday about the new (as of July) director of the CDC. Some retrospective on the pandemic in North Carolina, especially the disparate impact on nonwhite and poorer communities, and some of her professional background. She ran Medicare and Medicaid in the Obama adminstration

  3. Reminded of the #KayfabePanto partisan in my mentions back in May, who was confident that Walensky would be replaced by someone better—as it was all down to mouthpiece, and not her boss, that CDC policy was eugenicist.

    My refusal to play along with such willful self-chicanery—but instead dare to criticize the covid apologist in chief "so close to an election"—was offence so severe that said visitor to my mentions had no recourse but to block me.

  5. You know, if I were trying to telegraph my administration's support for diversity, I might make an effort to avoid nominating two white Jewish women with strong ties to Massachusetts in a row to the same prominent federal position.
    There's also something—though admittedly not much—to be said for not giving the antisemitic conspiracy theorists more to work with.
    And don't even get me started on the whole glass cliff aspect of this.
