Americans have been too quick to condemn the field of public health, overlooking its massive achievements in the 1900s and, yes, during the recent pandemic, too.

RFK Jr’s nomination is the repudiation of a century of unprecedented and miraculous progress in public health. We take it for granted because we don’t recognize how far we’ve come. I recently wrote in @TheAtlantic about what we risk losing. Gift link 👇 https://t.co/rVXqEzE2qT

Mashup Score: 25Women at the front line of the Marburg virus disease response in Rwanda: balancing clinical care, public health, and family life - 3 day(s) ago
We are female health-care workers standing on the front line of the Marburg virus disease outbreak in Rwanda. We worked in the emergency, intensive care, and Marburg virus disease isolation and treatment units during the outbreak in October, 2024. We took on the roles of caregivers, tirelessly feeding, bathing, and comforting our colleagues and family, amid the unfolding crisis. Our days were shadowed by an intense fear—monitoring ourselves for symptoms even as we continued to care for others.

There are already so many lessons from how Rwanda managed this Marburg outbreak. Many of them are captured in this reflection by @DrTsion and her brave female colleagues. “We urgently need personal protective equipment designed for women by women.” https://t.co/B8wgrlhR9X

Recently, an outbreak of an Ebola-like virus called Marburg was detected in Rwanda. Because of decades of investments in building up their health systems, much from international partners, the Rwandans were able to rapidly manage the outbreak. https://t.co/Ip7gEqDyTu

And although we eventually committed more resources to countering mpox abroad, we didn’t do so with anything close to the swiftness with which we opened clinics and dispensed vaccines when people in the U.S. started getting infected with mpox https://t.co/SKMAccw5Aj

Here’s what must be done to get the world vaccinated

But despite improvements, we could’ve done more. We were painfully slow to help vaccinate the rest of the world, despite snapping up so much of the global supply. After South Africa discovered Omicron we put in place stigmatizing and useless travel bans. https://t.co/7SPkYRJ3ft

Mashup Score: 365ER doctor and Ebola survivor to Trump: Build World Health Organization, don't tear it down - 3 day(s) ago
Amid coronavirus, we need WHO more than ever. We should be strengthening, not diminishing, our ability to shorten this pandemic and prevent the next.

Even worse, we abdicated our traditional role as leaders in global health. As COVID deaths piled up around the U.S. and the rest of the world, the Trump administration tried to pull the United States out of the World Health Organization. https://t.co/z4pntjREnV

Mashup Score: 1033
The death rate for Marburg virus is nearly 90%. There are no approved vaccines and treatments. So how did Rwanda achieve what one doctor calls an “unprecedented” success in controlling its outbreak?

Good news stories in global health don’t get as much coverage as the failures. We should all take a moment to congratulate Rwanda for how they’ve managed this outbreak to date. This piece is a great summary of where things stand with Marburg in Rwanda 👇 https://t.co/7NkN8YU9dt
