Kressly: I expect in the next couple of weeks, this is going to get worse. You’re going to hear from the same administrative people who have gutted the expertise needed to promote child health — pushing false narratives like, “we need to look at the link between vaccines and autism.” That is a lie.
Since the best in healthcare no longer serve at the top of the Federal Government, we are bringing them directly to you at Meidas Health. Don’t miss Episode 14 with the President of the @ameracadpeds.bsky.social Jam packed with useful information! @meidastouch.com
Thank you Dr. Gupta! Folks, please do your family & yourself a favor, and listen to Dr. Gupta provide clear, actionable vaccine advice. Bookmark immunize.org
Unafraid to speak truth to power, President of the American Academy of Pediatrics Dr. Susan Kressly joins @vinguptamd.bsky.social on Meidas Health for a powerful discussion on truth, conviction, and her deep commitment to ensuring optimal childhood health for the nation amid chaos at the CDC.
The government has failed us. So we are stepping in. #media4good @msnbc.com
The FDA has approved new COVID-19 booster shots for this fall, but with certain limitations. MSNBC medical contributor @vinguptamd.bsky.social breaks down what the approval means and offers guidance for those considering or in need of the vaccine.
Just a reminder that when it was convenient to pile on former Pres Biden’s health, a few of us didn’t choose the easy path and we calmly stated what we saw, while others scored political points. With the current President clearly aging, remember to trust those who call it as they see it.
Meidas Health will feature two of the nations best healthcare leaders this week: Sunday: a conversation with the President of the American Academy of Pediatrics, Dr Susan Kressly Mid-week: Dr Demetre Daskalakis, former top leader at the CDC Tune in! @meidastouch.com @ameracadpeds.bsky.social
Let’s be clear, RFK is now currently limiting access to vaccines by preventing pharmacists from doing their job. This is playing out as we speak. In several states, pharmacists cannot vaccinate if the CDC and relevant advisory groups fail to give recommendations. @msnbc.com
JD Vance rehashed the same “mental health epidemic” justification for the horrific shooting in MN this week. Yes, America has an unmet mental health crisis. So do other countries. We have a mass shooting problem unlike any other country It’s the guns: www.thinkglobalhealth.org/article/glob...
I like healthychildren.org for great info on childhood immunizations. Immunize.org provides fantastic resources for anyone with questions on vaccines for any age group. I do not agree with the FDA changes announced yesterday as they will dramatically limit access.

The new FDA recommendations on the Covid booster are confusing at best. We clarify what they mean and how it directly impacts access nationwide. @nbcnews.com
Meidas Health is filling the void in healthcare leadership and trusted health information. 1 million views in less than 24 hours! We are just getting started. @meidastouch.com
Thank you to the brothers @meidastouch.com for sharing this with me. Thought the pandemic was as bad as it would get in my lifetime. Committed to the hardwork ahead. Thank you for the trust 🙏
Now is the time to fill the void. Thank you @meidastouch.com for the trust.
Gupta: Here’s why this matters: 1. Because the FDA indications have changed, if I prescribe it to you, I’m opening myself up to a lawsuit. He directly signals that… 2. A pharmacist is no longer able to prescribe and administer a COVID-19 booster that doesn’t meet indications.
Meidas Health Emergency Episode: The Trump regime removed the CDC director, triggering multiple high-level resignations. Dr. Vin Gupta explains what this means for public health:
Whether it’s on MSNOW or @meidastouch.com - I know I speak for all those involved that we will do whatever we can to continue to fill the gap in basic health information, now more than ever. Thank you for the trust.
The horrific tragedy in Minneapolis is a repeat of other horrifying mass casualty events. Knowing there’s no political will to tackle the underlying problems driving this epidemic, please consider: 1. Donating blood. It’s life saving 2. Get trained in basic life support. It can also save a life
Starting now! Please join us :)

The DOJ issuing subpoenas to read protected health information like medical chart notes without cause is chilling and it is unacceptable. This is the canary in the coal mine. What’s next? Threatening the same of doctors who provide vaccines that this regime no longer approves of?
I knew when I met him, with my young boys looking on, that Gov Gavin Newsom was the real deal. You don’t become the leader of the 4th biggest worldwide economy by accident. I’ve seen him up close: super smart, empathic, and authentic. Our country needs his leadership desperately.
You speak and we listen Dr. Gupta. It's the only way to navigate the disinformation. Be well and be kind everyone.
We hear so much nonsense these days on what it means to be healthy. I’m grateful for the opportunity to help reset that discussion on proven strategies, not marketing, *MAHA* gibberish. Thank you to my Today Show colleagues for the trust as always.

It appears as we age, our immune system responds less well to the intranasal vaccine and it’s back to rolling up our sleeves!
**should note I erred and said .org and not .com in the clip - my apologies.
At-home flu vaccine (intranasal flumist) is now available this year for the first time ever. For those 2-49 years of age and without serious underlying medical conditions, it’s an option for you. More tools in our vaccine toolkit is only helpful and welcome news. Flumist.com has more info!

Can’t wait till this portrait of one of our nations greatest and most consequential Presidents is back in its duly earned place in early 2029.
When icons like @nicollewallace.bsky.social and the brothers at @meidastouch.com believe in your mission to provide the nation with trusted health information, you know you’re doing something right! Thank you to all of you for the trust!
Thank you to @meidastouch.com for our partnership to date in launching Meidas Health. 13 episodes in, a place where the nations leaders in healthcare come to push back against the prevailing nonsense and inject sanity. We are just getting started! open.spotify.com/episode/1Lc7...
We systematically debunk RFKs claims on mRNA vaccine technology. His announcement cancelling vital funds was littered with inaccuracies. We believe the truth will prevail, and that’s why we are correcting the record. @nbcnews.com
Will look to do a segment on this asap!
The NFL has made major strides in player safety protocols over the years but obvious dangers remain. We discuss what’s changed and what remains the same for NBC nightly news @nbcnews.com do

No fake routines, no ‘MAHA’ carnivore diets for toddlers. My commitment to you is to always share real, fact-based health information in a clear, honest way. Looking forward to being back in NYC with my friends at the Today show this Tuesday, 9am EDT. Tune in!

Trump’s First Surgeon, Dr Jerome Adams, joins Meidas Health for an honest, eye-opening conversation on the grim realities playing out in our federal health leadership. No politics, just truth. Super appreciate @anjkhem.bsky.social joining as a guest host!! @meidastouch.com
Newsom: He is a failed president. Who else sends ICE at the same time while having a conversation like this? Someone who is weak, broken. His weakness is masquerading as a strength. The most unpopular president in modern history.
Big thank you to Gov @gavinnewsom.bsky.social for separating himself and meeting the moment by being forceful, strong and compelling. Now’s not the time to speak in muted, measured tones. He’s doing a heck of a job.
Younger generations are drinking less. Thats a good thing! My view remains that everything in moderation — if you enjoy a glass of red wine with dinner, continue to enjoy it. We discuss the latest research on alcohol intake for @nbcnews.com

In normal times, regardless of the party in power, the NIH Director is usually a respected clinician that’s cared for patients and been humbled by that responsibility as they direct vast sums of taxpayer money to fund the future of medical research. Sadly for us, that’s not this NIH Director.
Deep Gratitude right back at you, your husband and your family.
Seen the world, promoted twice, lots of sweat, 12 years in. Pride in service and in representing our country. #usairforce
Truly remarkable new research that sheds light on the role that Lithium may play in the onset of Alzheimer’s disease AND the vital insights this work provides for therapeutic development. Welcome hopeful news to the millions who suffer worldwide Incredible medical innovation always imparts hope!

Fact check: mRNA vaccines for respiratory viruses are meant to prevent severe illness (bad Pneumonia). This means beefing up our immunity in the *lower* respiratory tract, eg the lungs. Kennedy talks about the *upper* respiratory tract and vaccine efficacy in nonsensical gibberish.
Dr. Gupta's explanation to Stephanie was excellent. Now we need to listen to political news for health information as RFK bombards us with disinformation. We will never know the potentially preventable deaths+diseases from his policies but we know there will be many. The urgency of the ill is dissed
RFK wants to lean into “whole cell” vaccine technology, which has existed for decades, comes with increased risk of side effects and can take years to develop. mRNA vaccine technology comes with far decreased risk of side effects and can take mere months to develop. Make it make sense!
A bacteria called Vibrio Vulnificus is widespread in warm saltwaters like the Gulf Coast. There has been a recent increase in cases of severe illness from this bacteria and we spotlight what you need to know. Our commitment is to keep you informed so you can remain vigilant.
The narcissism and outright god complex is only bested by his boss. At his peak, he may have had the support of a tiny percentage of the overall American population. Yet, here he is, continuing to make decisions with generational impacts.
Electric school buses lessen our reliance on fossil fuels and leave behind less air pollution - and the building of those buses creates good union jobs to raise a family on. They're a win-win-win for children's health, the climate, and our economy. www.torquenews.com/18004/i-love...
Wildfire smoke and poor air quality in general is becoming a frequent challenge that most of the country now reckons with every year. Its impacts on our health are significant. We discuss for @nbcnews.com Stay safe out there!
The EPA was formed under former Republican President, Richard Nixon, due - in part - to public outrage over acid rain. It’s why the EPA regulates greenhouse gases. This is what the current EPA seeks to bring back, make no mistake. Quite the move for a President that likes to market “MAHA”
This is a great example of why people detest politics and many current politicians. Thank you @atrupar.com
Medicaid is gutted, the EPA essentially no longer exists, the NIH is on a lifeline, vaccines are the enemy, and Measles is all the way back. Millions will needlessly suffer. But we are gonna make your healthcare data more interoperable!! 🙄
CNBC: The EPA is moving to rescind this endangerment finding on carbon dioxide and greenhouses gases. Is that a danger to public health? MAKARY: To be honest, I don't know enough about that issue CNBC: You're in charge of our public health! Can you look into it for us?
No one wakes up in the morning happy to breathe in more ozone and carbon dioxide during their morning coffee or workout A clear majority repeatedly poll wanting stricter controls on greenhouse gases, not a let it rip strategy This new EPA rule is in proposal stage. Please speak up and make noise!

I’m partnering with some of the biggest labor unions in America to ensure their members and communities know the real impacts of the Trump Administration’s cuts on patients, clinicians and hospitals everywhere. Join us on July 29th. All welcome. #mobilize www.mobilize.us/ufcw3000/eve...
Humbled and privileged to be with healthcare leaders from across Washington state today, all part of @ufcw3000.bsky.social This is a special group doing the day to day work of ensuring our hospitals and care centers work for patients. I’m proud to support and stand with them.
"We knew that we had accomplished something, getting health insurance to people who had never had it before. Now, Washington Republicans are going to strip it away." Roy Cooper explains why health insurance is key to his legacy and his campaign for Senate. @roycoopernc.bsky.social
A touching and beautiful moment at the White House just about a year ago. When strength through wisdom and thoughtfulness prevailed over their opposites. Stay hopeful, the future is always brighter after moments of sustained crisis.
Meidas Health, Episode 12 on Spotify - great discussion on health insurance. Like many Americans, I’m concerned about the cuts to Medicaid/Medicare - already feeling some effects, worry for when it goes into full effect. RFKjr’s MAHA decisions are ridiculous. Dr Cassidy knew better, why vote?
Have your back 💪
Meidas Health exists to fill the massive vacuum in genuine health leadership that now exists at the highest levels. Drs Potter and Bokhari join us to highlight how they are taking on the health insurance industry. It’s a can’t miss! open.spotify.com/episode/2E74... @meidastouch.com
Wherever you land on the issues, I think the vast majority of us are strongly against the vile murders of October 7 and also strongly against an entirely avoidable mass starvation of a vulnerable people. Let’s end the false equivalences. This has to stop now.
Every one of these doctor/ER bills should be sent to that brain dead Kennedy Jr. And learn a lesson - don't do a damn thing he advises. Seek out reliable PROS like @vinguptamd.bsky.social

Very meaningful to me to hear from a patient of mine last night at the bedside how the medical communication work I do on TV is a source of comfort for her It’s easy to get caught up in news cycles and breaking news. But at the other end are real people that are listening Thank you for the trust 🙏
It’s July, and that means the nations youngest Doctors begin their residency programs. I’m always grateful and refreshed by the energy of clinicians-in-training. It’s also a great reminder of how all generations, especially those up and coming, want a world of opportunity and goodness.
Report on our discussion last week with @sharemylesson.bsky.social sharemylesson.com/blog/autism-...
The amount of people who make millions in a “healthcare” job but have never once actually cared for a patient is a shameless and extraordinarily high number I know many of them, hoping to fake it till they make it Enough of their fake expertise and 7 figure + salaries. We don’t need or want you.
Meidas Health Episode 1 with Dr Vin Gupta. Dr Gupta has several episodes following this 1. With all the cuts in science & health, we really need information from reliable sources. Thank you Dr.Gupta (@vinguptamd.bsky.social), & MeidasTouch (@meidastouch.com) 💕 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i...

I know the whole Coldplay affair episode has spawned countless internet memes. Not trying to throw cold water on that, keep doing you. But the awfulness of it all. So content to deceive, with kids involved no less. Now only contrite because they got caught. This is Machiavellianism.
The ultimate Friday night purge. The EPA has and continues to protects us against acid rain, poor water quality, polluted air, and other horrible possibilities. Bravo to prior Republican and Democratic administrations for recognizing these obvious realities.
At least 1000 preventable deaths, 100000 avoidable hospitalizations and 300000 jobs lost, annually. That’s the minimum expected health impacts from the tax cut and spending bill passed by this President. Citation: jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...
I am a very healthy senior and don’t like going to doctors but I found a checkup found I have hypertension So I take olmasartin for it and now my numbers are excellent again
After Pres Biden was driven out of the race because of questions on his health, the least the Press Secretary and the President’s doctors could do is release the actual records on Pres Trump’s work up. Chronic Venous Insufficiency is common. But trust is low. Share the records.
