Found my doctors appointments got less frustrating once I started going in like “I really want to play badminton again 😢 but I can’t even push a cart around the grocery store 😢 and I’ve hit a wall where no matter what I do I can’t seem to increase my exercise capacity 😢 and it makes it hard to work”

New study: COVID can cross the placenta and infect multiple fetal organs. Researchers analyzed 538 samples from 18 fetuses & found SARS-CoV-2 in the brain, heart, liver & more, plus signs of DNA damage + immune imbalance. Closer to maternal infection = more fetal organs infected. #BlueSky #MedSky

After Trump and RFK jr lied about a Tylenol-Autism link. Their friends who are big investors with Kimberly-Clark, are now buying the company for a steal.

I express my full solidarity with the children, women, and innocent civilians who are suffering from the most horrific crimes and violations in Sudan.

If you want or need SNAP benefits, literally the only barrier should be...signing up. "But what about fraud?" My sibling in red, white, and blue, THE PENTAGON HASN'T PASSED AN AUDIT IN YEARS AND MONEY IS FAKE. I don't care if too many people have food assistance.

Dr. James C. Jackson of Vanderbilt University takeaway from today’s IACC Expert Panel on Long Covid and other chronic conditions: Brain fog is not an accurate term. It needs to be referred to as brain damage. Yup.

Anti-abortion is not a pro-"family" policy. You know what's pro-family? Paid parental leave. Free childcare. Universal healthcare. Living wages.

Guess what? COVID mRNA vaccines don't just protect against COVID. COVID mRNA vaccines also cause cancers to become sensitive to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). buff.ly/GEfJ5Zl Let's fund more mRNA research! #medsky #oncsky 🛟😷🧪

My friend told me that her 14 year old son started doing laundry on Sundays for some of his elderly neighbors. He doesn't charge for the labor. And now he is the most popular person in the building and has non stop pies, cookies, and cake. The 14 year old should be our model of modern masculinity.

SNAP assistance should be enough to cover 2000 calories a day of HEALTHY food PER PERSON. Yes I want the government to make sure everyone has wholesome, tasty, filling meals. The problem isn't that people need assistance with food, it's that the assistance is a freaking joke.

Your immune system would like you to stop catching Covid actually. It’s not learning. It’s being decimated.

This arrest appears to be in direct violation of a temporary restraining order prohibiting DHS officers from arresting journalists. The officers here may well be subject to contempt of court. protectdemocracy.org/wp-content/u...

Pew poll finds just 31% of parents accept their trans kids. Crucial to dialog around GAC which focuses on affirming parents. This is directly _opposite_ a 2023 WashPo/KKF poll 2023 (tinyurl.com/ph5u6pnh) which found two-thirds of transppl said families were supportive. @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

“It is patients who will be the victims of the war on DEI in medical education and training, not just the institutions that the administration seeks vengeance against.” 💯

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet. They make sure we have clean water. They protect us from financial fraud. They provide healthcare to our communities. They make our government actually work for people. Do not forget this.

My first thought was “wow I hope this guy didn’t give out his name because he could absolutely be charged” and yup, he is correct to stay anonymous. This man’s account is shocking. His neighbors’ situation is shocking. The entire Chicago raid is shocking.

ICE left David, a 17-year-old boy, stranded on the side of Interstate 20 after pulling over his immigrant father, Hector, in Mississippi. David began running in the scorching sun after the car and watched as it disappeared from sight—soon headed to a Louisiana ICE prison. Here's their story.

It’s wild how words change depending on who’s affected. When drugs hit Black communities, it was a “crack epidemic.” When drugs hit white communities, it became a “health crisis.” That’s what we call a dog whistle. The language changes when the skin color does.

I'm at the scene where ICE abducted multiple people from Lincoln and Foster this morning. A WGN producer was among the people taken, allegedly because she was among a group of bystanders who tried to intervene. ICE agents hit this car while making their getaway.

🎵 They did the Monster Slash 😭 @ellecordova.bsky.social

Mutual aid and community care are the most effective things you can do right now. Seriously. Sharing other people's fundraisers, making sure people have food and transportation, protecting your immigrant and racialized and trans neighbors, wearing a mask.

A study of nearly 300,000 people published today in the New England Journal of Medicine found “that last season’s 2024–2025 mRNA COVID vaccines reduced people’s risk of emergency department visits by 29 percent, their risk of hospitalizations by 39 percent and their risk of death by 64 percent.”

BREAKING: Israeli forces have killed at least 55 Palestinians across Gaza since dawn, despite US President Trump’s calls for attacks to cease to secure a ceasefire deal, medical sources told our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/9te3dv

Oh dang. This is an excellent analogy.

If you tell me your plan is become a butterfly in the after-life, why yes, we will decorate your room this way during your final moments. Who says ICU rooms have to be cold and sterile at the end of life? She loved it so much. @3wishesprogram.bsky.social

Under the most conservative estimates, according to NPR, Israel has killed a Palestinian every fifteen minutes this year. EVERY. FIFTEEN. MINUTES.

The most important thing to remember about Bad Bunny performing at the Super Bowl is that Puerto Rico is a colony whose residents are US citizens and pay taxes but don't get to vote for the president, have no voting representation in Congress,

Oct. 1 Global Sumud Flotilla Earlier on Wednesday evening, another boat, Meteque, said it was told over the radio to switch off its engine or be hit with a water cannon. It did not stop.

If you think this admin’s ablest rhetoric isn’t a threat, remember Pol Pot killed people who wore glasses. I’m not kidding. And his reasoning was just as stupid as anything. RFK Junior says about autism.

#Medsky🧪 #IDsky #immunosky #pedsky #publichealth The study showed that, compared with participants without infection, patients reinfected with the original & Omicron variants (74 days after reinfection) had the highest risk of any of chronic physical & neuropsychiatric symptoms,

#MorningReads Study of 1,312 sexual minority youth (1990s–2010s cohorts) supports the developmental collision hypothesis: youth are coming out earlier, but victimization—not earlier milestones—drives depressive symptoms. Earlier self-ID/disclosure also linked to less depression. #SOGIData #LGBTYouth

#MorningReads Study of 12,822 U.S. SGDY (ages 13–18) finds transgender boys face highest rates of depression, anxiety & bullying. Trans identity—not race/ethnicity—was the main driver of mental health disparities. Asian cis & trans girls reported lowest in-school victimization. #SOGIData #LGBTHealth

BREAKING: Experimental Intranasal COVID-19 Vaccine Eliminates Virus in Mice Single Dose 60%, Two Doses 100% Protection

I know no one will see this but letting children get infected over and over again because we 1) never invested in ventilation and 2) demonized masks is unforgivable.

I think we underestimate the extent to which the right wing has eroded civil society simply by pulling stunts like this that make any public participation extremely unpleasant.

Canadian COVID Forecast Sep 27 - Oct 10, 2025 CANADA HIGH [increasing] About 1 of every 60 people is infected. Compared to lowest point of pandemic in Canada: -Infections: 5.8 x higher -Long COVID: 5.7 x higher -Hospitalizations: 9.2 x higher -Deaths: 7.5 x higher

A few days late, but if you haven’t heard, here’s some good news. 🥳 news.mit.edu/2025/study-h...

A new gene therapy trial slowed Huntington’s Disease by an average of 75% in patients. It involves delivery of a modified but safe virus that produces microRNA in the brain to counteract mutations in the huntingtin gene. We can achieve amazing things when we fund science!

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...
