💊 Advances in treatments mean many people living with persistent viral infections like #HIV and #hepatitis now live long, healthy lives. However, the treatments don't work for everyone and sometimes they stop working.
💡 New IHI project VIROMARKERS aims to advance biomarkers that would revolutionise the care of people living with HIV and hepatitis D, plus stem cell transplant patients at risk of cytomegalovirus (CMV).

#Measles outbreak in #Alberta far exceeds it's past provincial peak in 1986, that of #Texas currently and even entire #USA known caseload. Once considered "eradicated" , this highly transmissible contagious #disease has hit hard this year in #Canada, with noted 1000+ case upticks as well in #Ontario. Young #children and elderly highly susceptible to rash and side effects including lung & ear infections, #hepatitis, #Encephalitis and other lifelong neurological compilations.

#Vaccination rates are lower in Alberta than Canada as a whole by dbl digits, with more than 50% of children in rural areas of Southern Alberta, the heart of this outbreak,not having standard vaccination shots. So-called "vaccine-hesitancy" is generally more common in relatively less populated rural areas that attract political ideologues and those historically isolating and living under strict religious beliefs.Many of the most virulent cases of measles have been linked to Mennonites and Hutterites who live in colonies, and are oft prone to believe it is God’s will that determine the #health status of offspring.

#Dear #TinFoilHat #Breeders & #Religious #RWNJ : Please #VaccinateYourKids

„Deutlicher Anstieg“ der #Hepatitis -A-Infektionen in Österreich, Tschechien, Ungarn und der Slowakei zwischen Januar und Mai 2025 mit insgesamt 2.097 Fällen.

Hinweis:
Die Hepatitis-A- #Impfung wird generell empfohlen, besonders vor Reisen in Risikogebiete. Die Impfung besteht aus zwei Dosen im Abstand von sechs Monaten und bietet einen lang anhaltenden Schutz, wahrscheinlich lebenslang.

Continued thread

#Trump’s proposal slashes the #NIH #budget to $27B from ~$48B. The budget doc delivers a duplicitous rebuke to NIH, saying: “NIH has broken the trust of the American people w/wasteful spending, misleading information, risky research & the promotion of dangerous ideologies that undermine public health.” [written from Bizarro World]

The budget purports to refocus the #CDC on #infectious #diseases, but slashes funding for viral #hepatitis, #HIV & #STDs, lumping them into a single program at $300M.

Chiara Eisner reports on how, with a hepatatis C outbreak now occurring in multiple states, the CDC under the Musk-Trump regime is shuttering the one lab that could monitor, report on, and help us deal with this outbreak:

"Ongoing investigations of current hepatitis outbreaks have been stalled, not just in Florida, but also in Oregon, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, New Mexico, Wisconsin, West Virginia and Georgia."

"The [Division of #Viral #Hepatitis] Laboratory Branch had the highest degree of viral hepatitis expertise of any #PublicHealth laboratory in the world," wrote Scott Becker, the assn's CEO. "Their loss eliminated critical national testing services that do not exist anywhere else within the #HHS agencies."

As of April 16, the assn had not received a response from #RFKJr, Becker said.

#Trump#Musk#DOGE
Continued thread

2 days after the lab's scientists received their reduction in force emails, #HHS Secy #RFKJr acknowledged that ~⅕ of the cuts at HHS were made *unintentionally* & some people would be offered their jobs back.
On April 4, the Assn of #PublicHealth Laboratories sent a letter to RFKJr urging HHS to reinstate all personnel in the Division of #Viral #Hepatitis & at the Division of #STD Prevention, another lab at the #CDC that was shuttered.

Continued thread

…Although 4 new samples have already arrived at the lab & 3 more were waiting in #Florida to be sent, none have been tested by the #CDC. Epidemiologists still at the CDC have been trying to find another place that can do the tests but have been unsuccessful….

…w/o the CDC's scientists to test the genetic material, it will be harder for epidemiologists to confirm whether people w/ #hepatitis C were infected in the same doctor's office or somewhere else where the #virus could still be spreading….

Continued thread

The email said their duties were "identified as either unnecessary or virtually identical to duties being performed elsewhere in the agency." But the #genetic #tracing that the #CDC's lab performs is not conducted by any lab in the #UnitedStates or the #world….

While it remains shuttered, ongoing investigations of current #hepatitis #outbreaks have been stalled, not just in #Florida, but also in #Oregon, #Pennsylvania, #Massachusetts, #NewMexico, #Wisconsin, #WestVirginia & #Georgia….

Continued thread

But on April 1, the #outbreak investigation was brought to a halt. All 27 of the lab's scientists received an email from the #HHS informing them that they were losing their #jobs. Like thousands of other employees who received similar emails that day, the scientists were told they would be placed on administrative leave until June 2, after which they would no longer work for the #CDC.

#Trump#RFKJr#Musk
Continued thread

The scientists at the lab knew what they were doing. Quickly, they analyzed the blood from #Florida using their custom software & found that 9 cases were genetically linked to the same pain clinic, where it was later discovered that a doctor was improperly reusing injection vials. By March, ofcls in FL had restricted the doctor's #medical license to limit the spread of the #virus & packaged new patient samples to send to the #CDC for testing…
