The health and medical community is abuzz with news this morning, so let’s dive right in!

First off, President-elect Donald Trump has made some key nominations for his administration in the healthcare sector. Dr. Dave Weldon, a physician and former Rep., has been chosen to lead the CDC. However, his history of supporting controversial ideas linking vaccines to autism has raised concerns among scientists. On the other hand, Dr. Janette Nesheiwat, a physician and former Fox News contributor, is set to be nominated as surgeon general. Unlike some other picks, she does not have a history of criticizing vaccines. Lastly, Dr. Martin “Marty” Makary has been tapped to lead the FDA. Known for his criticism of the agency in the past, his appointment raises questions about potential conflicts of interest due to his ties to a telehealth company. Despite the mixed reactions, the healthcare industry is cautiously optimistic about these appointments.

In other news, UnitedHealth Group has come under scrutiny for paying its own physician practices more than other doctor groups for similar services. This raises concerns about conflicts of interest and the potential impact on healthcare costs and quality. The company’s practices are being closely examined in a series by STAT reporters, highlighting the complexities of the healthcare system.

On the public health front, the CDC has confirmed the first case of H5N1 bird flu in a child in California. The source of the infection remains unknown, underscoring the challenges of tracking and preventing the spread of infectious diseases. Additionally, concerns have been raised about the detection of bird flu virus in raw milk, highlighting the potential risks associated with consuming contaminated products.

In a surprising development, a strain of flu B virus thought to be extinct has been detected in a patient sample. This discovery raises questions about the resilience of flu viruses and the need for continued vigilance in monitoring and responding to emerging threats.

A recent study published in JAMA Health Forum has revealed racial disparities in the use of hearing aids among older adults. Black and Hispanic individuals reported lower rates of hearing aid use compared to white individuals, highlighting the need for more research and interventions to address these disparities.

Lastly, whooping cough cases are on the rise in the U.S., raising concerns about the potential impact of declining vaccination rates. Senator Rand Paul’s plans to investigate the origins of Covid-19 as the incoming chair of a committee have also sparked debate among experts and scientists.

Overall, the healthcare landscape is evolving rapidly, with new challenges and opportunities on the horizon. Stay tuned for more updates and insights on the latest developments in health and medicine.
