Good morning! Today is the day the @Commonwealthfnd Commission on a National Public Health System releases its recommendations.

Thread ... nytimes.com/2022/06/21/us/…

1/
The nonpartisan Commission is chaired by Dr. Margaret Hamburg and includes public health leaders who have worked for both democrats and republicans, liberals and conservatives. Included are former health commissioners of NC, TX, MI, and NY.

2/
The Commission takes as a starting place that more than 1 million Americans have died from #COVID19 ... a reflection of the weakness of the nation's approach to public health.

Child health policy: There are real and serious risks of COVID to children.

NOT child health policy: It's much more likely that older adults will die of COVID than children. 1/4

Child Health Policy and the COVID-19 Pandemic ja.ma/2VRQ96r via
@JAMAHealthForum
Child health policy: All children potentially at risk for severe consequences.

NOT child health policy: No need to worry about all children b/c risk worse for children with chronic illness 2/4

Child Health Policy & the COVID-19 Pandemic ja.ma/2VRQ96r
Child health policy: Let's get schools ready for in-person learning.

NOT child health policy: Opening schools is pretty safe because in general kids don't get very sick from COVID. 3/4

This is a brief thread on a critical and underappreciated difference between *approval* and *emergency authorization* by the FDA for drugs and vaccines.

It relates to the difference between “shall” and “may” 1/8
For approval, the law makes clear that once specific standards are met, including evidence of safety and effectiveness, the Secretary “shall issue an order approving the application.”

Another way to say this: Meeting the FDA’s approval standards ---> approval. 2/8
But for emergency authorization, the law says that the Secretary “may” authorize the use of a drug or vaccine in the setting of declared emergency. 3/8

The pandemics of COVID-19 and racism are intertwined in discussions of reopening schools. The educational divide is widening in front of our eyes, as private schools hire more staff and otherwise invest to reopen when public schools cannot. 1/4
The Maryland Governor, who vetoed long-sought funding for public schools, is now intervening to permit private schools to move forward even during times of high viral spread...which risks more community transmission...which will make it even harder for public schools to open. 2/4
There are no easy answers, other than that our primary focus should be reducing community transmission, making it possible for all schools to open (with precautions). 3/4

In the early 1980s, my father worked with Dr. Anthony Fauci at @NIH. A brief thread. 1/4
At the time, the stigma against AIDS patients was fierce. My dad vivdly recalls that Dr. Fauci was fully devoted to those in his care.

He took time to answer every question his patients had, and was deeply affected when they died. 2/4
"Tony was not just an expert scientist," my dad remembers. "He was a great doctor." 3/4
