The day's health news is a mix of policy controversy and preventable tragedies. An advocacy group accuses RFK Jr. of undermining smoking cessation while promoting nicotine alternatives, and a ProPublica investigation details infant deaths from a preventable vitamin deficiency. Meanwhile, a new MS drug hits the NHS, and more measles cases pop up in Maryland.
Two stories today highlight preventable harm and political blame.
A public health advocacy group calls out RFK Jr. for promoting nicotine pouches and vapes while slashing cessation program funding, a contradiction they say will boost addiction, not reduce harm.
ProPublica's investigation into infant deaths from vitamin K deficiency bleeding is a gut-wrenching look at a condition that is almost entirely preventable with a routine shot at birth.
Measles and mpox cases continue to appear, while a cyclospora outbreak gets a retrospective look.
Two more measles cases in Maryland, linked to domestic travel to an outbreak zone, follow five cases the previous week, a reminder that measles is still circulating.
Arizona confirms its first case of Clade I mpox, the more severe strain, though the state says public risk remains low; 34 mpox cases total this year.
A new MS drug reaches NHS patients, and AI shows promise for brain tumor therapy.
Fampridine, the first drug shown to help MS patients walk, is now covered by the NHS in England, around 5,000 people are expected to benefit.
