Unvaccinated infants are the second most likely group to get hospitalized for Covid after older adults. Any effort to minimize the effectiveness for kids is evil.

Girls ages 16 years or younger who received HPV vaccines were 80% less likely than their unvaccinated counterparts to develop cervical cancer. Evidence from 23 studies showed that HPV vaccination lowered the incidence of high-grade cervical precancers. 🧪 www.cochrane.org/about-us/new...

However you feel about PACS, the GOP gets a lot of support from them and you can’t expect dems to close their pockets to PACS while republicans won’t.

I’ve been tracking and writing about Brownstone since December 2021 and it’s really validating to see these pieces. Solid write-up from KFF on its influence. One thing left out: The group helped steer the GOP House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic long before Trump took office.

This video of a pregnant Black woman in labor being actively ignored by a triage nurse has made the rounds. The lack of empathy on display is a reality every Black woman has experienced in some form when dealing w the healthcare system. Nothing shields us from it. www.instagram.com/reel/DRFwBfY...

There’s a confirmed bird flu case in Washington State. Influenza A looks particularly nasty based on data coming out of Japan. Covid is still here and still disabling. It’s never too late to start masking again. A well fitted respirator can protect against all these viruses! It’s community care

UPDATE: Canada has announced that it has lost its measles elimination status. This is a direct result of the increase in anti-vax disinformation, which has caused large, sustained outbreaks in the country over the last year.

You really don't want shingles. If you're eligible, get vaccinated. 🔹️Study was a records review of > million people, 2007-2023 🔹️400 variables were controlled for (impressive!) 🔹️Dementia risk 27-33%⬇️ over 3 yrs after vax 🔹️More shingles = more risk... 1/2 www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

WHERE. THE. FUCK. ARE. THE. PROTESTS????

Either way, the wholehearted, blank-eyed, indignant adoption of fully right-wing positions on Covid is very alarming to see among liberals, and absolutely baffling on the progressive left.

SARS-CoV-2 isn’t just a respiratory virus. Its neurological and immunological consequences are real, measurable, and ongoing. It targets the brain, impairs cognition, erodes empathy, and subtly reshapes populations. Ignoring it doesn’t make it harmless, it makes the world more dangerous.

Every time one anti-vaxxer is quoted in the media, one million scientists and healthcare workers should also be quoted in support of vaccines. False equivalence in the media is killing us.

It’s also a secular state. Iran is a theocracy. Israel is a secular state. These are the religions in Israel: 73.7% Judaism 18.3% Islam 1.9% Christianity 1.6% Druze faith 4.5% others A theocracy doesn’t allow any other religions but the nation state religion.

I’m not Jewish but I was sickened to learn some Jews on my recent Greek island cruise were kept from going ashore in some ports because their extended family members were attacked and badly beaten for being Jewish. In Crete we saw anti-Semitic graffiti & slurs everywhere. The hatred was palpable.

Exactly. Together we will resist this madness. Antisemitism is a disease - it must be eradicated. #StandUpToJewishHate #🟦

Millions of Americans are already learning that their health insurance costs for 2026 are going way up. I want to hear from you so we can make this impossible for the GOP to ignore the consequences of their policies. If your premiums are going up, reply below and please share your story.

The popular 3M Aura 1870+ for example had an 88.9% pass rate for women and 97.6% pass rate for men in this study so for personal use it is very likely to be better than a baggy blue procedure mask even without a fit test ( pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC... ). 6/

Researchers studied 163 adults with long COVID and no asthma. At least 75% had small airway dysfunction. Those treated with inhaled corticosteroids and long-acting bronchodilators saw fatigue fall from 96% to 15% and breathlessness from 83% to 18%. www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-7...

Thanks for having me. 🙏 Hopefully the rest of the world can learn from our sad fate and stand up to disinformation before it’s too late.

Thank you again. So many of these stories. Every one of them should haunt us. Think I found it

You are essentially saying that masking/covid prevention is an unfair/difficult burden - so let us leave it to the sickest, most vulnerable and at risk among us to bear alone, making it therefore more difficult again. We don’t have a choice, we must engage w prevention. Your failure to do so ….(1/2)

This is really important information on the insufficient monitoring of Bird Flu by the USA and why it is a serious risk to us all. Highly recommend reading this and investing in so well-fitting N95 masks to have on hand. We have the worst possible leadership in charge of our response currently.

Is anyone who’s been screaming famine for months going to say anything? All of a sudden the UN has enough food for 3 months. Please, anyone explain this to me!! #gaza #famine www.newarab.com/news/un-says...

All movements of Israel in comparison are pretty open about their core demands of two states, peace, hostage return, Netanyahu imprisoned, with different movements seeing different focus as the primary one. Even "centrists" are very vocal.

So exhausting..

We found a link between SARS-CoV-2 reinfection & #longCOVID, & a post-pandemic rise in thrombotic events across all populations, regardless of vaccination or prior infection. Findings support continued COVID diagnosis in suspected cases & mask use by healthcare workers treating respiratory patients

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

"Please stop muting me, that is disrespectful. You want debate and discussion but you're muting people and silencing them." Props to Jason Goldman for insisting that (Fake) ACIP make explicit how they are evaluating evidence, instead of just cherrypicking studies that say what they like.

Not many people watched yesterday's #ACIP proceedings. But for moms and dads around the country: hold your children close (and get them vaccinated according to @ameracadpeds.bsky.social guidelines, not #ACIP). But many now will be unable to afford to do this. 22/

A 10% decline in measles vaccination will lead to multiple outbreaks and hundreds of thousands of infections. Colleagues at Stanford estimate that in this scenario, measles cases would skyrocket to 11.1 million over the next 25 years. 20/

As #Kulldorff, #Malone, #Prasad, #Hoeg, #Bhattacharya, #RFKJr and #Vought wreak havoc on vaccine policy in the US, these diseases will come roaring back. You don't need a vast collapse in vaccine coverage to open the Pandora's box of infections. 19/

But back to #ACIP. Measles, polio, pertussis, hepatitis B are no joke. My father had polio and could have died in the 1930s from it like so many others. Anyone who lived through the pre-vaccine era for now-preventable childhood infections can tell the horror stories of those years. 18/
