This cartoon is supposed to be Brian Hooker, science advisor for RFK Jr's old group Children's Health Defense. The problem with it is there is no medication indicated for Hantavirus other than hospital based cardiopulmonary support meds. Drug companies have kept quiet on this recent news.

A domestic cat tested positive for rabies in DeKalb County here in Atlanta. Anti-vaccine pet owners are irresponsible. It's shocking the number of animals bite consults I see in which the owners admit the dog or cat culprit is unvaccinated. www.fox5atlanta.com/news/positiv...

One thing people don’t realize is that even if you don’t use Medicaid—even if you never would use Medicaid—your ability to access care, and your ability to access healthcare providers like me, will be affected in some way or another by every cut or barrier to Medicaid. Nobody will be unaffected.

Well since I follow a beaver rehabber on Instagram, the algorithm delivered me a reading of My Beaver Hates Wood by Jen Jenivive. Thanks Insta for the laugh. #Humor #BookSky 💙📚 www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

April was full of dark and rainy books but lots of fantastic reads. Yesteryear, Mad Mabel, and Dog Person are in my running for favorite books of the year. Caught up on the Murderbot Diaries series and am in line for next week’s release of Platform Decay. #BookSky 💙📚

The Wayfinder by Adam Johnson was a deep, ahem very deep, dive into the history and culture of Tonga. I feel like I’m still out in the ocean drifting in a boat searching for an island or something. #HistoricalFiction #EpicReads #NetGalley #BookSky 💙📚 www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

For #ArtworkWednesday, check out Giuseppe Arcimboldo’s "The Librarian" (c. 1566). Instead of painting a person reading, Arcimboldo created a person made of books. It’s clever satire: are we defined by the knowledge we consume, or do we just collect it for show? #Art 💙📚

One of my favourite quotes written by a true word wizard and featured in his wickedly wonderful book, Equal Rites. Happy Terry Pratchett Day! #Bookish #BookLove #BookSky 💙📚

A hearbreaking story. Her daughter contracted measles during a 2013 outbreak before she was old enough for the vaccine. She survived her acute infection, then died 10 years later from subacute sclerosing panencephalitis, a fatal long term complication of measles. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/21/o...

George Washington mandated a relatively dangerous inoculation for his troops in 1777 because he knew disease undermined readiness. In 2026, a low-risk vaccine became optional for the U.S. military. www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

On @kavehmd.bsky.social’s podcast, @angierasmussen.bsky.social and I both said that Dr. Erica Schwartz is a great pick for CDC Director, but her ability to do her job hinges on one thing: RFK Jr. needs to STFU and get the hell out of her way. Well, he refuses to commit to that.

Why does fiction matter? Because stories can sharpen the way we understand other people. A meta-analysis found that reading fiction has a small but positive effect on social cognition. Including our ability to interpret emotions, motives, and inner lives. ⏰📚💙📚🎧 #books #reading #fiction
