The rate of sepsis in Houston surged 63% after Texas banned abortion. In the Dallas-Fort Worth area, where hospital leaders empowered doctors to intervene before patients’ conditions worsened, it rose 29%. (Published May)

Some good news, in case you missed it: The Wisconsin Supreme Court RESTORED ABORTION RIGHTS across the state by striking down a 176-year-old abortion ban. This comes after years of work to break the court's conservative majority. We CAN win.

Men sure love to mansplain abortion bans “There’s an exception for the life of a mother!” “No one is being arrested for a miscarriage!” “It’s fear mongering!” No. Abortion bans kill. They cause unnecessary delays in care. Criminal charges have been laid for pregnancy loss. It’s all about control

US HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr's decision to remove #COVID19 #vaccines for healthy children and pregnant women from the CDC's immunization schedule has sparked criticism for undermining public trust and vaccination efforts. #MedSky

#MedSky: are we ok with this??? It's bad enough when people like RFK Jr spread vaccine misinformation, but when a physician deliberately sells COVID vaccines to kids & then administers SALINE, that needs full prosecution! #VaccinesWork

Just when you thought the measles outbreak was horrible. . .pneumonic PLAGUE is back.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will direct federal health agencies to explore potential new treatments for measles as the U.S. faces its largest outbreak in 25 years. Experts fear the decision could have grave consequences, as studies show the existing vaccine is 97% effective in preventing infection.

The Human Genome Project cost taxpayers $3 Billion. Two decades on, it has generated a staggering return on investment of $1 Trillion, with benefits in medicine, agriculture, energy, the environment, & more. If you want to boost the economy, funding science is one of the best things you could do.

New Mexico, Indiana, Kansas, Ohio, Oklahoma and Texas have active measles outbreaks and U.S. measles cases have topped 700 as of Friday.

All avoidable. Measles Outbreaks in Canada and Mexico Bring Grim Prognosis www.nytimes.com/2025/04/17/h...

Breaking news: The United States faces millions of measles cases over the next 25 years if vaccination rates for the disease drop 10 percent, according to new research published Thursday.

Since we can’t rely on the HHS, CDC, or FDA to say it, I will: MAKE SURE YOU ARE VACCINATED AGAINST MEASLES. GET YOUR MMR. The measles surge in the southwest is now the SINGLE LARGEST OUTBREAK since 2000 and the United States is now at the tipping point for the return of ENDEMIC measles.

In some measles cases, the virus does not go away entirely, but rather it hides dormant in the brain. Then, some 7-10 years later, neurological symptoms appear, and the incurable progression of SSPE begins, almost always fatal. Surviving victims are so rare they are written up as case studies. 2/13

A new study forecasts more than 850,000 measles cases over the next 25 years if US vaccination rates stay the same. Millions of infections are possible if rates drop. www.wired.com/story/scient...

Gonorrhea has been eliminated by the CDC! Oops...I mean gonorrhea TESTING. What could possibly go wrong???

Dear Texas Lawyers: do parents of kids who did not get MMR vaccine but took cod liver oil or Vitamin A to prevent measles based on HHS Secretary RFK Jr 's advice BUT then got measles AND liver damage have grounds to sue him or the US government???

A second child with measles has died in Texas, state officials said, in an outbreak of the childhood disease that has resulted in nearly 500 cases in Texas and has spread across 22 states reut.rs/42jrJkf

Via @propublica.org: Leaders at the Centers for Disease Control ordered staff last week not to release their experts’ assessment that found the risk of catching measles is high in areas near outbreaks where vaccination rates are lagging, according to internal records reviewed by ProPublica.

Following comments about treating measles by Donald Trump's health secretary in a Fox News interview, parents are inadvertently poisoning their children and giving them liver damage.

Dear Texas Lawyers: do parents of kids who did not get MMR vaccine but took cod liver oil or Vitamin A to prevent measles based on HHS Secretary RFK Jr 's advice BUT then got measles AND liver damage have grounds to sue him or the US government???

NOTHING SHE DID IS ILLEGAL IN GEORGIA. It was a miscarriage. But she’s in jail, being charged with a crime that isn’t a crime in Georgia. Because this is not America anymore. This is Gilead. We just don’t have the red robes yet. jessica.substack.com/p/georgia-wo...

Georgia woman arrested after having miscarriage. A woman 24, was found unconscious & bleeding, & charged with concealing the death of another person, a 10 year felony. Autopsy confirms natural miscarriage with no signs of injury to fetus. Woman is still gonna be charge with a felony.

--> TF? "A 24-year-old Georgia woman was arrested by local police last week after having a miscarriage. The woman was found unconscious and bleeding near her apartment building in Tifton, Georgia, only to be charged with “concealing the death of another person” and “ www.jezebel.com/georgia-poli...

BREAKING: A woman in Georgia just got ARRESTED for having a miscarriage. Charged with “concealing a dead body” because she didn’t call the cops fast enough. This is what happens when you let forced-birth extremists make the laws. www.msn.com/en-us/news/c...

A woman in Georgia was arrested yesterday for having a miscarriage. This is inhumane, and absolutely terrifying!

ATTENTION WOMEN! They're Arresting Us for Miscarriages Now! A 24-year old Georgia woman was arrested for her miscarriage! Georgia has no law dictating how to dispose of miscarriage remains, but police arrested her anyway. Her mugshot is already splashed across the local crime pages.

Some unvaccinated children being treated for measles at a Texas hospital showed signs of liver damage from ingesting too much vitamin A. RFK Jr has been recommending vitamin A. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/25/h...

Meanwhile children in West Texas are being treated for toxic levels of Vitamin A, after RFK Jr encouraged Vitamin A as treatment for measles (instead of, you know, emphasizing vaccination). Elevated levels of vitamin A can cause abnormal liver function. www.tpr.org/public-healt...

In Veterans Affairs facilities across the U.S., therapy and other mental health services have been thrown into turmoil amid the dramatic changes ordered by President Trump and pushed by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency.

This is a very sad story, but what makes me crazy is that people tried to explain that this is what would happen and got caricatured as "woke" hysterics www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

If your children are not vaccinated for measles, do it now. Really. arstechnica.com/health/2025/...

Since Kennedy was sworn in, the agencies he leads have canceled meetings about flu shots & other vaccines, announced plans to investigate already debunked links between vaccines and autism & downplayed the importance of vaccination in the measles outbreak. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Doctors at Seminole Memorial Hospital, in Gaines County, noticed a sudden and ominous drop in the number of measles patients coming in, with those showing up being much sicker than before. They blame it on a quack doctor nearby who records anti-vax podcasts and gives out cod liver and vitamin A

Um... let's debunk those wild measles claims... Measles is known for its characteristic rash, but it can have serious respiratory and neurologic complications that can be fatal. More from experts here:

Measles has spread to a Mennonite community in Chihuahua Mexico. #measles mexiconewsdaily.com/news/measles...

🦠 Measles 🦠 We reported a month ago that Texas was suppressing the number of measles cases. We can’t give specifics to protect staff, but we remain confident that the actual number of measles cases is FAR higher than the official count of 294 lab confirmed cases.
