UPDATE on CDC firings:
More than 1,000 people affected. Former CDC leader tells me 1,250 RIF notices were sent.
Notices sent to MMWR the CDC flagship publication were an error of miscoding, a federal health official tells me. My story 1/4

90% of flu deaths in kids were unvaccinated… 😞
#CDC was alerted to 3 more #flu deaths in kids, bringing the total for the 2024-25 season (so far) to 278 — only 10 fewer than during the 2009 H1N1 pandemic. About 90% of those kids weren't vaccinated against flu. So tragic.
Kids should be vaccinated against flu.

Just very good news
Opioid overdose deaths were down 27% in 2024 compared with 2023
What's driving the decline? More availability of Naloxone and expanded addiction treatment are two key factors
We have much more work to do. But this is progress!

I hope that #HHS @SecKennedy will build upon the important recent efforts of @FDAfood to improve nutrition through front-of-package food labeling, voluntary sodium reduction targets, and increased scrutiny of added sugars & processed food - all of this aligns squarely w/ #MAHA.
