I’m an #InfectiousDiseases physician who has treated patients with #measles. There is zero evidence that budesonide, clarithromycin, or cod liver oil help. Vitamin A can be used to reduce risk of eye complications. Pushing unproven treatments undermines trust in CDC and public health.

A HHS spox tells us Secy Kennedy is asking CDC to develop new guidance for treating measles using drugs, vitamins Earlier, he said they were developing a worksheet for docs promoting budesonide, clarithromycin and other "very effective" treatments www.cbsnews.com/news/rfk-jr-...

So we’re doing everything that we can, not only with those populations, like the Mennonites in Gaines county. And I’ve been to Gaines county. I attended a funeral down there of one of the little girls who died, not of measles, but she had had measles.

Those– they have religious objections to vaccination and we need to be able to treat them, even though they’re not vaccinated.

There are many, many good ways to treat measles and doctors need to know that and to know those methods.

And we are developing now a worksheet for doctors to address the epidemic, to address people who have it, not just with vaccination, but actually with budesonide, with clarithromycin, with vitamin A and many, many other treatments that have been shown very effective.

Science should be built on data, experiments, and rigorous debate; not politics or belief. Yet at mBio (American Society for Microbiology, ASM), an editor can overrule the need for evidence to support conclusions? This is a disgrace to science if true. #Microbiology #InfectiousDiseases

Spending just one day on the ID consult service is a stark reminder: #InfectiousDiseases are not going away. If anything, they're getting more complex. We need more resources, not less. Wish elected officials and leaders could see what we see on the frontlines and how it affects patients.

An increasing number of African countries are strengthening their health product regulatory systems to combat the widespread circulation of fake and substandard medicines, particularly antibiotics and antimalarials. #AMR #InfectiousDiseases www.newswise.com/articles….

Curbing Harmful Medicines: The Promise of a Unified African Health Products Regulatory System | Newswise

A harmonised African body could stem deaths from fake and substandard medicines—especially antimalarials and antibiotics—by bolstering oversight, saving lives, and strengthening health systems.
