☆ Opinion | Hawaii Governor: Robert F. Kennedy Is Unfit to Be HHS Secretary
  + stars: | 2025-01-07 | by ( Josh Green | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
In early December of 2019, I called Faimalotoa Kika Stowers, the health minister of Samoa. As the lieutenant governor of Hawaii at the time and a practicing physician, I knew we needed to act quickly to save lives. As a rule, keeping vaccination rates above 95 percent can protect an entire population from infectious diseases like measles. But when vaccination rates fall, preventable diseases can regain a foothold and pose a new danger. Vaccines and public health vaccination programs are not just medical interventions, they are also moral imperatives.

☆ Even as New York nurses return to work, more strikes could follow
  + stars: | 2023-01-13 | by ( ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +7 min
NYSNA nurses walk off the job, to go on strike at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City, U.S. Jan. 9, 2023. Last year, six unions representing a total of 32,000 nurses launched strikes outside of hospital systems around the country, according to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics. Those strikes represented about a quarter of all the major strikes in the U.S. last year, an increase from the year before. The number of nurses working in the profession is starting to rebound to pre-pandemic levels, said Dave Auerbach, the director of research at the Massachusetts Health Policy Commission. April Hamilton, a 55-year-old food writer, cooking teacher and mother from Baton Rouge, La., will walk into her first class when that new nursing program starts Tuesday.
