But the restructuring has eliminated key teams that regulate #FoodSafety & #drugs, as well as support a wide range of programs for #tobacco, #HIV prevention & #maternal & #infant #health. #RFKJr has since said that because of mistakes, 20% of people fired might be reinstated.

The #states who joined the lawsuit have Democratic governors, and many of the same #states — plus a few others — also sued the Trump administration over $11B in cuts to #PublicHealth funding.

Words matter. Let's call it what it is:

An #infant under the age of one loses his leg following an #Israeli #airstrike that targeted his family. His mother tries to comfort him amidst the pain ­— a scene that captures the deep human suffering #Palestinians in #Gaza continue to endure at the hands of #Israel and her supporters.

But now, #Trump has shut down the office responsible for leading that campaign, now known as #SafeToSleep.

Safe sleep recs for #babies include laying them on their back instead of their stomach on a firm mattress in their own space, like a crib or bassinet. Avoid sleeping w/an #infant on a couch or armchair or in a swing or car seat unless in a vehicle. Keep loose blankets, pillows, crib bumpers & other soft items out of their sleep area to avoid the risk of suffocation or strangulation.

The federal govt launched the campaign as "Back to Sleep" in 1994 in partnership w/private orgs. Since then, it has helped save thousands of #babies from dying in their #sleep, says Dr. Rachel Moon, a #pediatrician & researcher at UVA who helped write the American Academy of #Pediatrics' guidelines on safe #infant sleep.

"At the very beginning of Back to Sleep, the number of #deaths decreased by 50%, which is huge," Moon says.

“I still remember how, as a new parent, I would often tiptoe into my sleeping son's room multiple times a day — & night — to make sure he was still breathing.

“Thanks to Safe to Sleep, a #PublicAwareness campaign launched three decades ago, I knew that #sleep-related #infant deaths were a leading cause of deaths for babies in the #US.”

Bat die-offs in the U.S. led to increased use of insecticides,
which in turn led to greater #infant #mortality, according to a "seminal" study published Thursday that shows the effects of biodiversity loss on human beings.
Eyal Frank, an environmental economist at the University of Chicago, authored the study, which was published by Science, a leading peer-reviewed journal.

✅ Bats can eat thousands of insects per night and act as a natural pest control for farmers,
💥so when a fungal disease began killing off bat populations in the U.S. after being introduced in 2006, farmers in affected counties used more insecticides, Frank found.
🔥Those same counties saw more infant deaths, which Frank linked to increased use of insecticide that is harmful to human health, especially for babies and fetuses

#Birth #Patterns in the Aftermath of the 1918 #Influenza #Pandemic in #India: The Case of #Madras City pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/390539

We found a contemporaneous #spike in excess #deaths and #infant deaths and a 40-week lag between the spike in deaths and a subsequent deficit in births.

PubMedBirth Patterns in the Aftermath of the 1918 Influenza Pandemic in India: The Case of Madras City - PubMedThis paper examines the timing of one-time fluctuations in births subsequent to the 1918 influenza pandemic in Madras (now Chennai), India. After seasonally decomposing key demographic aggregates, we identified abrupt one-time fluctuations in excess births, deaths, and infant deaths. We found a cont …
