#FoodSafety 🦃🥘🍽️

The @CDCgov estimates 48 million people get sick from food borne diseases every year in US, many outbreaks occur around #Thanksgiving. Here are a few cooking practices to keep your family safe and healthy this holiday season ⬇️ today.com/health/top-rea…
👉🏻 Always wash your food, hands, counters, and cooking tools.

👉🏻 Keep raw foods to themselves. Germs can spread from one food to another.

👉🏻 Foods need to get hot and stay hot. Heat kills germs.

👉🏻 Put perishable food in the fridge right away.

fda.gov/consumers/free…
Make sure a turkey reaches internal temp of 165°F to kill germs. Check with a food thermometer; always avoiding bone. Check at:

👉🏻 thickest part of breast

👉🏻 where body and thigh join, aiming toward thigh

👉🏻 where body and wing join, aiming toward wing

🧵 Important new study shows high frequency of virus co-infection and species spillover among animals bats; with 12 viruses shared among different bat species, which in turn facilitates virus recombination and reassortment, and new genetic diversity 1/3

Fantastic work from Mang Shi and scientific colleagues:

"A novel recombinant #SARS-like coronavirus...with only five amino acid differences between its receptor-binding domain sequence and that of the earliest sequences of SARS-CoV-2" in Yunnan, #China 2/3 Image
“This revealed a high frequency of virus co-infection and species spillover among the animals studied, with 12 viruses shared among different bat species, which in turn facilitates virus recombination and reassortment….” the authors write. 3/5

Will be interesting to track development of this psychedelic by Lusaris and @rfsquared and how regulators approach compound. Sublingual, fast acting formulations of controlled substances have faced close scrutiny in past owing to risk of diversion, abuse thedalesreport.com/psychedelics/p… Image
Recent controversies around at home Ketamine and history related to sublingual formulations of opioids could inform how @US_FDA considers issues related to drugs with characteristics like the new compound being developed by @LusarisTx @rfsquared
psychiatrictimes.com/view/virtually…
In the past sublingual delivery of controlled substances raised significant scrutiny (for example Dsuvia) over abuse and diversion concerns. Psychedelics also in spotlight on similar concerns. How will @US_FDA approach this @rfsquared RA Capital compound? statnews.com/2022/11/03/ket…

🧵Will discuss decisions made during Covid that impacted families; some of hardest were school closures. In WSJ I wrote in 2020 here wsj.com/articles/schoo… and here wsj.com/articles/want-… that states should open schools. Many like my state CT made it top priority, others didn't
My argument Summer 2020, after first wave, was: "Schools should open in the fall. It’s critical for meeting the educational and social needs of children. But local officials should have the discretion to take tailored actions to help keep children safe" wsj.com/articles/schoo…
Concerns were many. As I wrote month later "Social and educational costs of keeping children out of the classroom is enormous. Lost learning can translate into fewer opportunities...later in life. Virtual learning is especially hard on low-income children" wsj.com/articles/want-…

We shouldn’t underestimate how much the predictable backlash to the failed 2021 mandate that businesses require employees to get vaccinated, using a contorted reading of OSHA provisions, is going to - regrettably - bleed into broader opposition to vaccines thelancet.com/journals/lance…

🧵Vaccines for Children (VFC) is federally funded program that "provides vaccines at no cost to children who might not otherwise be vaccinated because of inability to pay.” This program has long been used to help families in need get access to vaccines
cdc.gov/vaccines/progr…
Under VFC, CDC buys vaccines at discount to distribute to registered providers. For CDC to add a vaccine to VFC, it must be 'recommended' by ACIP, then CDC. This allows costs to be covered by same program used to broaden access to other childhood vaccines cdc.gov/vaccines/progr…
Vaccines in VFC aren't mandated for children. Each state sets its own requirements. For example, the HPV vaccine was recommended by CDC in 2007 so it could also be added to VFC and then costs covered -- but 15 years later, only two states require its use. cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/m…

🧵 My article with Mark McClellan in Journal of the American Medical Association on the VALID Act - a major provision before Congress that modernizes FDA oversight of diagnostic tests, promoting safety and innovation

Here’s why passage is critical:

jamanetwork.com/journals/jama-… 1/x
Background: When I was FDA commissioner, the agency delivered to Congress comprehensive technical assistance on which VALID is based; as I discussed at Friends of Cancer Research in 2017:

insidehealthpolicy.com/daily-news/got…

I wrote this as well when VALID was introduced in March 2020. 2/x
Some history. In U.S. we have a bifurcated system where tests made in labs, called laboratory developed tests or LDTs, are generally not overseen by FDA owing to an outdated policy dating back to 1970s; and generally speaking, a broad exercise by FDA of enforcement discretion 3/x
