Our letter to WHO, signed by over 2,300, calls for respirator use in healthcare to protect patients and staff. Covered by Kat Lay in The Guardian: www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

In love this story so much "The impact has been resounding. In the five pilot hospitals, the hepatitis B birth dose is now administered within an average of three hours after birth, including on weekends, which previously were not vaccination days." www.gavi.org/vaccineswork...

One hundred thousand people a year and y'all using past tense when you talk about Covid now jfc

Kasia @sadsackolympian.bsky.social invites you to take part in #12DaysOfMasks challenge starting Jan 5. “Not all people are able to wear a respirator (like newborns), so it’s incredibly important that the rest of us keep public spaces safe for them. Tag #MaskTogetherAmerica or me & add the hashtag.”

Hey, Boomers: Read this. Your vaccinations may be doing double duty! (Gift article)

“We’re told not to test for Covid-19 this year. If we find [Covid in patients], then we have to close beds”

Me: Is that a social cue? You have to tell me if it's a social cue

Just me… still masking😷 Anyone else feel like the masked black sheep these days? Source: x.com/tryna_do_rit...

I had an EGD on Tuesday, the only time I've been unmasked around a stranger since becoming ill after a dental visit this summer. Today I woke up sick. 😡

Here's Trump judicial nominee Justin Olson today, admitting than in 2015, he gave a sermon in which he said that “marriage was not intended for all people,” including “our handicapped friends or our persons with physical disabilities that might prevent the robust marriage that we’re called to.”

Look at the date. Disabled people told you. They made too many disabled people.

Love to see the respirator but if we should mask in crowded indoor spaces like airports, what about schools and hospitals? They are crowded indoor spaces too

I love vaccines. Vaccines are good. www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/pre...

We’ve created the perfect sickness storm because whether you have covid or not right now, whatever sickness you have is probably worse because Covid damaged your immune system or other organs. But still we do almost nothing to prevent or reduce multiple Covid infections.

NEW: The recent government shutdown, with families skipping meals and babies unfed, could have been a preview of what’s to come when Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill shifts billions in costs for the SNAP program to states that may not be able to afford them.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration. But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants. The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

Patient came in with sore throat. While waiting for rapid Strep test result we glanced back at the Covid-19 RAT result: positive. Reminder that masking in health care makes sense, if you don’t want everyone in your waiting room to go home sick, your staff to get sick, and physicians to get sick.

For everyone traveling, a reminder to masks up and avoid spending your holidays sick. 😷✈️🦃

When they’re more afraid of neurodiversity than of vaccine -preventable illness, it’s not about health but about power and control . www.cdc.gov/vaccine-safe...

🦆 Bird flu in WA: This is the first-ever human case of H5N5 avian influenza. It's been seen in animals before, but never before in people. It was confirmed in a Grays Harbor County resident that had backyard poultry which may have mingled with wild birds. doh.wa.gov/newsroom/h5n...

The irony here is painful. Alice Wong wrote a column for Vogue called Disability Visibility. You can still find all her writing for Vogue under her author name. But *Disability Visibility* - also the name of the advocacy group she launched - has been erased. Exactly how disabled people often are.

Call it by name: Eugenics

When you actually think about how many issues are tied to disability you never think about, it’s intentional. crutchesandspice.com/2025/11/11/c...

People keep telling me that we are post-pandeimc, but the hoarse voices with which they say this keeps telling me that we are still in the pandemic. * A compendium of the 294th week of plague poems… librarianshipwreck.wordpress.com/2025/10/31/p...

…with measles. You can get a post-exposure measles vaccine within 72 hours that may reduce the risk of severe disease, or immunoglobulin can be administered up to 6 days post-exposure. By refusing contact tracing, this person may well kill someone who could have been protected.

I guess if these people fall into homelessness they'll be shipped off to these new "centers". Make no mistake, this is deliberate. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/29/u...

Reminder: Covid is an also virus. Maybe accepting repeated infections as inevitable is worth rethinking. Another reminder: N95 masks are a quick, cheap, and easy mitigation tool

NEW: Some 4 million people in the U.S. could lose federal housing assistance under new plans from the Trump administration, say experts who reviewed drafts of two unpublished rules obtained by ProPublica. By @jessecoburn.bsky.social

“And to the autism community: you are loved exactly as you are”

Good thread 🧵

A tenet of Fascism is keep repeating lies and people will become so confused about what is the truth that they’ll start to believe them. We all have a responsibility to keep repeating the truth in the face of politically-motivated lying. Don’t just roll your eyes, speak up.

"Go to an old cemetery. See all the baby graves from before the 1950s & 60s? After that, hardly any. That's when people started vaccinating their children. If you're unsure what to do to protect your kids, the answer is literally written in stone." — Michael Okuda How quick we forget.

This anti-drowning program cost $2 million a year. The National Guard deployment to DC is costing an estimated $1 million a day. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

“They did not die from COVID , they had preexisting conditions.” “They did not die from starvation, they had other health problems.” This is what eugenics sounds like.

Finally some good news!

NEW: On March 15, President Donald Trump’s administration sent more than 230 Venezuelan immigrants to a maximum-security prison in El Salvador. Last week, the men were released as suddenly as they’d been taken away. These are their stories.

Shooting our videos is a little bit different now.

For anyone confused, FEMA is overseen by DHS, and their function is 90% planning and preparedness, not just showing up to hand you a check. Natural disasters happen. When leaders don’t plan, fund, or take preparedness seriously, the consequences are far worse. That’s the point.

I knew we were cooked as a society when everyone just sorta decided they were sick of dealing with Covid and everyone just decided to pretend like it wasn't a thing anymore.

Will we get through this? No, we will not get through this. Only some of us will get through this. And it is imperative that you understand this difference.

The world is drowning in plastic. Experts say we need to stop making so much. But the plastics industry is peddling a "solution" that works like magic. Don't be fooled. (Published June 2024)

Vaccination schedules on the CDC website have already started changing under RFK Jr. So we published a guide to the evidence-based vaccine recommendations in place *before* all 17 members of the advisory panel were abruptly dismissed by the new admin. www.scientificamerican.com/article/see-... 🧪

didn’t mask up today at the rally’s? please care for your community by preventing the spread of anything you may have picked up today. at home sars2 tests are notoriously finnicky, make them more sensitive by using them repeatedly in 48hr increments and swabbing throat before nose 👇🏻
