The CDC has temporarily paused testing across a panel of more than 20 infectious diseases, including rabies, mpox, parasites, and other pathogens. Testing continues at the state and local level, but many laboratories rely on the CDC for confirmation, coordination, and complex case support.
They got better… and then years later, everything changed. SSPE is a rare, fatal brain condition linked to prior measles infection. The long-term risks matter just as much as the initial illness. #medsky #publichealth
Happy Doctor’s Day. To those still showing up and carrying the responsibility — thank you.
National Black Women Physicians Day. Less than 2% of U.S. physicians — yet always leading, healing, and advocating. The Medical Collective is a Black woman physician-led podcast bringing diverse perspectives to healthcare conversations that affect everyone.
Independent autopsies matter — especially when deaths occur in custody. This clip confirms the Autopsy Initiative is reviewing ICE detention cases to provide answers, transparency, and accountability for families. Watch the full episode on The Medical Collective.
Justice doesn’t always mean closure — sometimes it means answers, accountability, and preventing the next loss. Second autopsies matter.
At a time such as this, truth requires verification. This clip explains why second autopsies matter when findings don’t align and questions remain. #MedicalTransparency #ForensicPathology
The food pyramid reflects decades of nutritional science, epidemiology, and health outcomes research. When evidence-based guidance is replaced by personal opinion, public health pays the price. #Nutrition #FoodPyramid
Merry Christmas from The Medical Collective 🎄 Wishing you and your family health and peace. 31 episodes this year, with one more to come. Explore trusted medical content and patient resources at www.medical-collective.net #medsky #MerryChristmas #ScienceMatters
Why impeachment — and why now? With illness rising and pediatric vaccine guidance being dismantled, timing matters in public health. Full episode: www.medical-collective.net #medsky #PublicHealth #ScienceMatters
Why now? Rising measles cases, weakened guidance, and nonstop health disinformation — right before winter. This clip explains why public health action can’t wait. Full episode: www.medical-collective.net #medsky #PublicHealth #ScienceMatters
We can’t move forward in medicine if we’re constantly repairing the progress that’s being undone. What do you think we’ve lost the most? #medsky #ScienceMatters #PublicHealth
People are starting to distrust physicians — not because the medicine changed, but because misinformation filled the gaps. This clip breaks down how we got here. Why do you think trust eroded? #medsky #ScienceMatters #PublicHealth
Follow the 40+ professional organizations that support the science and condemn what is going on right now in the CDC and FDA
We’ve confused experts with influencers, and it’s reshaping everyday healthcare decisions. Training matters. Evidence matters. Popularity isn’t expertise. Which one do you trust? #medsky #PublicHealth #ScienceMatters
A sentinel node biopsy helps determine if cancer has spread beyond the breast. A dye or tracer identifies the first lymph node draining the tumor area — the “sentinel.” Pathologists test it during surgery to guide next steps. #TheMedicalCollective #AskPath #BreastHealth #Pathology #medsky
Do you remember the tracking device pseudo theory about the COVID-19 shot?💉 And nanoparticles? Nanoparticles = small lipid carriers, not chips. If we’re worried about tracking, start with our phones & smart speakers — not vaccines. #TheMedicalCollective #PublicHealth #ScienceExplained #medsky
Your health insurance premiums are about to rise, jeopardizing the health of your family. And they're building a ballroom. Let that sink in!!!!
🎓 Honorary doctorates recognize achievement — not medical or academic licensure. When used outside scope or from unaccredited institutions, it blurs trust. 🎧 The Truth About Medical Credentials @themedicalcollective www.medical-collective.net #TheMedicalCollective #medsky #HonoraryDoctorate
I contemplated going, but I participated locally and was taken aback by the diversity of people that are fighting for our democracy. There is hope! #NoKings
POV: A doctor stands in front of HHS — the agency meant to protect America’s health — as politics and misinformation threaten it. 🎙️ Coming soon: talk with Rep. Haley + Stand Up for Science Rally (Oct 17). #TheMedicalCollective #medsky #StandUpForScience
🧬 Population screening is the future. Instead of waiting for risk factors, we can screen everyone — like colon cancer screening. This approach could transform breast cancer detection in both men & women. 🎧 themedicalcollective.komi.io #TheMedicalCollective #BreastCancerAwareness #medsky
It’s breast cancer awareness month and I’m going to use my voice to spread awareness! #medsky #breastcancer #diagnosis
💸 Don’t let cost stop you from genetic testing. Insurance covers many tests, out-of-pocket can be ~$250, and help is available if you can’t pay that. 🎧 Full episode: themedicalcollective.komi.io #TheMedicalCollective #medsky
COVID-19 isn’t “just a cold.” Part 1 🫁 Lungs: injury to air sacs + clots ❤️ Heart: myocarditis, risk far higher after infection than vaccine 🩸 Kidneys: damage to filtering tubes → acute kidney injury Part 2 will cover placenta, testes, brain + more. #medsky #covid19 #pathology #TheMedicalCollective
🎉 We’re 1 year old! The Medical Collective podcast launched last fall. 24 episodes later, we’re still sharing stories, busting myths, and fighting for better healthcare. Thank you for riding with us. Listen in: themedicalcollective.komi.io #medsky #TheMedicalCollective
I’m sure you heard of the news about a child that passed away years after getting measles when they were not able to get vaccinated. This late sequelae is called subacute sclerosing panencephalitis, and can occur sometimes 2 to 10 years after the acute infection.
