Few voices in public health have carried as much weight—or have shown as much courage—as Dr. Anthony Fauci. For decades, he has stood at the front lines of crisis after crisis, offering clarity in the chaos and fighting for evidence-based action. His leadership has saved lives

For decades, ACIP has been a model for transparent, evidence-based recommendations on vaccine policy. In Think Global Health, I push back on the false claims that Secretary Kennedy used to dismantle this important panel. thinkglobalhealth.org/article/transp…

The vaccine schedule every doctor in America has used for decades is based on science.  Secretary Kennedy's decisions risk losing this protection. This endangers our children's health. Thanks Bianna Golodryga and @Amanpour team for having me on today. bit.ly/3I5Hntk

I’ve seen what a lack of preparation looks like—it's not dramatic, it's quiet. It’s a father struggling to breathe. A nurse in tears after her fourth shift. A child learning that “FaceTime” is the only way to say goodbye. We spend 300 times more on military defense than on

The Closest Things We Have to a Wonder Drug Rigorous study over 8 years, hundreds of patients with colon cancer. New treatment reduced new cancer, recurrent cancer, and prolonged life. No serious adverse effects. It's not patented. What it is? Physical activity. The closest

Imagine living in a giant wooden building your kids, your parents, your neighbors all inside. Most rooms have smoke detectors, but a few don’t. If a fire starts in one of those unprotected rooms, it spreads. Fast. And no one is safe. When we ignore the blind spots—places

Which U.S. president had the greatest public health impact of all time? We all talk economy, foreign policy, and leadership style. But what about public health? It may surprise you. In my view, George W. Bush is the greatest global health president in American history. I

Your grandmother stood in line for the polio vaccine. Your parents watched smallpox disappear from the world. That wasn’t luck. That was public health in action—community, science, and courage working together. When we celebrate progress, we’re not looking back—we’re fueling

Secretary Kennedy promised “radical transparency” when he took office. Now, HHS has failed to make key disclosure documents for the new vaccine advisors public. statnews.com/2025/07/09/ken…

Vaccines have saved the lives of more than 1M children in the U.S. since 1994. Despite this, Secretary Kennedy has chipped away at the system that ensures access to safe, effective vaccines. We should keep our eyes open to the actions being taken. linkedin.com/pulse/when-com…

I will never forget this moment. In Guinea, standing beside someone who survived Ebola—a disease that stole so much. Families. Futures. Faith in the health system. But not this patient and those who helped her. What Ebola couldn’t touch was the humanity that held communities

It’s only July and measles cases in the U.S. are already higher than in any year since 1992. When public health programs are cut and vaccination rates decline, more children get sick and die. It doesn’t have to be this way. apnews.com/article/measle…
