COVID killed >100,000 people per year over the course of 2023 and 2024 in the US alone. The level of indifference to this massive annual toll among both the public and the majority of my public health colleagues is stunning. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

From slavery to surveillance, America’s laws have often codified exclusion. This timeline traces how legislation has targeted marginalized communities — not just in the past, but right now. None of these laws excluded straight White people. Ever. Who wants tea? It's hot.🔥☕️

Health influencers are posting viral reels about how to keep kids safe from viruses. The reels will mention many things - except masks and clean air. It's so sad because many of them are loving parents but public health has failed to educate them & they have accepted this info uncritically

USA: Flu surges in 45 states as doctor visits reach highest level in nearly 30 years. "About 5,000 people have died of the flu so far this season, including 9 children, as the Trump administration pulls back on advice to get kids vaccinated."
