Healthcare Infection Control Practices Advisory Committee (HICPAC) becomes the latest casualty of Trump regime

They were close to finalizing guidelines for airborne infection control in hospitals, including the use of N95 masks.

Hospital acquired COVID has a 10% mortality rate. We’re seeing the worst measles outbreak in a decade. Drug resistant fungus is on the rise.

Cutting the people whose sole job was to reduce hospital acquired infections will just lead to more death, disability and healthcare worker attrition.

This isn’t how you eliminate the chronic disease epidemic, it’s how you eliminate the chronically ill.

#HICPAC is a joke, the #CDC are clowns, the healthcare industry is a circus. They need to wear the mask that works: #n95 . It's feasible. Them making us choose between #healthcare and forced infections that are killing and disabling ppl is not.

With thanks for perspective from @nynurses Lisa Baum, NYSNANurses undefined, Peg Seminario, Amanda Finley Diggs and the many others who testified at the #HICPAC meeting to tell them how their decisions were killing people.
