Disney has always been problematic. I have my youngest son to thank for educating me with a fantastic research paper he wrote for HS once about their historic issues with race & gender and their ongoing exploitation of artists. www.34st.com/article/2020...

Climate change will continue to bring more flesh-eating bacteria. One way to address this would be to improve infrastructure to reduce flooding from rain/storms. Ron DeSantis has rejected over $11B in federal funds designated for such projects in Florida because he doesn’t believe in climate change.

There is a hierarchy of scientific evidence. You can find a one off study that says anything. But high quality studies have shown COVID vaccines to be safe.

The point of “advisers” is SUPPOSED to be that you find the best experts you can get and let them tell you what the policy should be. RFK has reversed it: He knows the policy he wants and has assembled hacks he knows will dutifully endorse his crackpot priors.

Even as a new Ebola outbreak has been reported in DRC, Africa, this new book is a timely reminder that we are never safe until everyone is safe @mtosterholm.bsky.social @cidrap.bsky.social

Some rich foundation should take out a PSA ad of this and have it played at twice the frequency that the ASPCA did with Sarah McLachlan’s Angel song. Maybe a few more people would finally get it. #VaccinesWork 🦠💉🧫

::taps mic:: Autism is a) not caused by vaccines and b) a mental health diagnosis made using criteria developed specifically for humans and therefore impossible to diagnose in dogs. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

We simply cannot allow this to happen Children deserve better

Right now, your ability to get access to a COVID vaccine this fall is in jeopardy, whether or not you fit the new, restricted eligiblity criteria. Please send a letter to your member of Congress here. And spread the word. @defendpublichealth.bsky.social actionnetwork.org/letters/writ...

This is a great time to watch this @pulitzercenter.org documentary on why “doctors and parents in Samoa blame influential vaccine skeptic Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his associates for bolstering anti-vax sentiment” pulitzercenter.org/blog/explori...

This sadly winds the internet. #MedSky #PedSky #PharmSky

Resignations can make a difference! In 2005, Dr. Susan Wood resigned from the FDA to protest political delays in approving Plan B, saying she could no longer serve when scientific evidence has been overruled. In 2006, Plan B was approved for OTC use for ages 18+, and in 2013 with no restrictions.

(1/3) Pediatric health care and strong public health agencies are two planks in the foundation of children’s health and wellbeing. CDC has long been a leading resource for research and evidence-backed recommendations on how to keep children healthy.

On the same day the FDA restricted access to COVID vaccines, the CDC director was sacked and top CDC scientists are resigning. And it’s barely been two weeks since an antivax conspiracy theorist fired 180 bullets at CDC headquarters. None of this is making America healthier. What a disaster.

The Maid’s Diary by Loretta Anne White was a surprisingly twisty #thriller that hit my sweet spot with secrets and revenge a plenty. #BookSky 💙📚 www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
