Gregg Margolis, Director of Health Policy Fellowships and Leadership Programs at National Academy of Medicine, shared on LinkedIn:
“If you can only read three things about health policy this week, I suggest…
CNN: CDC Leaders Call Shooting Targeted And Deliberate As Rattled Staff Say They Felt Like ‘Sitting Ducks’ In a large and hastily arranged Zoom call on Saturday, about 800 rattled staffers with the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention tried to make sense of the trauma they endured just a day earlier when a gunman opened fire on the agency’s buildings from across the street.

CNN: New ‘Make America Healthy Again’ Report To Be Released In Weeks Americans will have to wait several weeks for the Trump administration’s next steps in its agenda to ‘Make America Healthy Again,’ according to three people familiar with the matter.

The Washington Post: HHS Revives Childhood Vaccine Safety Panel Sought By Anti-Vaccine Activists The Department of Health and Human Services said Thursday it is reviving a long-defunct task force aimed at improving the safety of childhood vaccines, fulfilling a demand of anti-vaccine activists.
