A brief respite from your doom scrolling. Pancreatic cancer survival rates have also doubled! Which was a goal of PANCAN when I joined after my dad died and survival was just 6%, having barely budged for 40 years.

MCLAUGHLIN: "She could be 5'6" and they're looking for someone who's 5'6"." Ok, so basically any woman?

conduct yourself in a way that does not lead the entire news organization you are supposedly in charge of to leak a new and different embarrassing story about you every day

1. This is very important to know, esp if you are in WA/SC right now; 2. This isn't available to some people who need it the most, which is why antivaxxers aren't "pro freedom."

"Hoax"

A family from South Carolina brought their measles infections to airports, ferries and various locations in Washington state. The health department says that they didn’t know they had measles. But this is why unvaccinated people are a danger to communities, not just themselves.

WE SHOULD HAVE NEVER, EVER, NEEDED TO HAVE THIS INTERACTIVE MAP!!! 😡

Your voice matters. Your voice still matters.

It's not good. Not for anything. I hate this.

My friend who works at a local hospital just texted me saying she hoped I got my flu and Covid shot because they are full and you don’t want to need an ER right now!

When healthcare is about profit, the ins co has an incentive to deny. One of the tools they use is to put as many obstacles as possible b/w you and the care you need. Fight them. You should *not* have to. But fight them. You'd be surprised how often no turns to yes, b/c most don't fight.

I believe I said this when the news about this broke. This confirms what was already obvious. So unethical. Barbaric.

Appalachia--a region that voted overwhelmingly for this admin and has been overwhelmed by the opioid crisis--will not be able to absorb the loss of these funds. Cities will be better positioned to do so (not completely, but certainly better than rural America).

Koh: Trump has now spent $30 billion from the last bill for 10,000 more I.C.E. Agents that are going to be on the streets. That $30 billion would cover all the ACA subsidies for a year. It would eliminate all co-pays for prescription drugs for people from a year, and eliminate all medical debt.

I think RI should have this. Because I enjoy having it. I live in AZ and have enjoyed the benefits of Equal (our online candidate petition system) for more than a decade. First in the nation? No. Good idea? Yes. apps.azsos.gov/equal/

Yes, I wish Star Trek was reality, too! But someone should tell Elmo this is how they treat the wealthy in Star Trek. (Forward to 3 mins) youtu.be/LJrk4uiOQyY?...

This is wildly unethical. Among many other problems...

I am calling for a complete and total boycott of the Mercator projection in all news stories about Greenland until every member of the American public has seen this

Don't poison, experiment, or harm your autistic children. This man is not a doctor. #Momvocate

This man thinks that *men* spend a lifetime reading signs of violence, and *women* are OBLIVIOUS? The saying FOR GOOD REASON is that men are afraid of being laughed at, WOMEN ARE AFRAID OF BEING KILLED. We detect the "signs of violence" in a way this dude cannot begin to comprehend.

Where are my NRA peeps at? Here are the government agents, coming for you, taking your guns.

There’s a big story everyone is missing—but this article hits on it. We aren’t just seeing public health dismantled bc we’ve been taken over by conspiracy theorists and lunatics. What we’re really seeing is the giant, predatory, underegulated wellness industry come to Washington.

This is really bad. Also, fellow geriatric millennials, as cancer becomes much more common at younger ages, this is going to hurt us WAY more.

No.

I don’t know how else to tell you that your life literally doesn’t matter to these people, and they do not want to make America healthy

First real day in Athens. Visited the Acropolis Museum, the Acropolis itself, Pnyx Hill--the birthplace of democracy that was destroyed by a coup!--and "Socrates Prison" where the Greeks hid antiquities from the Nazis.

FOX: [after Cassidy lists all the problems w/what RFK Jr has done] "Are you going to do anything to change that? CASSIDY: Non-responsive. "Goggle meningocoximia!"

JUST IN: A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to restore $12 million in grants to the American Academy of Pediatrics, saying the terminations appear to be retaliation for the group's view points re: vaccine safety/efficacy. ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show...

Hard to overstate what a big deal, how much of a departure from the norms of the Fed, this is.

I have adventures!!!! planned for tomorrow! #Athens

Whoa. Science is so cool! Let's keep funding it.

The hermit crab you had as a pet (or wanted?). Take a look at it naked!

These sorts of analyses almost never consider inequality, even though the rise in real home prices over the past 50 years correlates directly with rising income inequality. We're building more housing per capita than we ever did—if you measure by the square foot—because that's where the money is.

I realize I’m in the minority but I really don’t want to watch a video. I read faster than people talk and I’m often in situations where I can’t turn up the volume on my device. Asking creators to provide easily accessible transcripts. I’m interested in what you have to say!

Another little boy has just died from flu. This year’s flu vaccine has been shown to reduce the risk of pediatric hospitalization from influenza by 72-75%. It’s not too late to get vaccinated.

"Over the last 30 years, I have hospitalized hundreds of children with complications from influenza, RSV, rotavirus and other vaccine-preventable diseases that have now been removed from the CDC schedule. I have never hospitalized a child from a vaccine reaction." abcnews.go.com/Health/pedia...

They also use criminal law to prosecute people for bad outcomes. Usually homicide when the baby is still open, whether or not there is proof drug use contributed at all (sometimes w/o any proof drugs were used). Yet a billionaire's play thing is not held to account.

I called this "immunity debt" pseudoscience when the term was first coined. In part, my assertion was based on the fact that the measles vaccine causes an all-cause mortality significantly decreased. Turns out, preventing infection is *better* than getting infected, regardless of disease course.

This year’s flu has caused the most doctors’ visits in almost 30 years. It’s not too late to get vaccinated.

This administration wants you to believe that this is preferable to a safe and effective vaccine.

And, as we always seem to do, we are pulling the ladder up behind us.

Since we are modeling our healthcare system on Europe now, when are we getting single payer?

Freudian slip.

This will kill children. It is not based on science. It is a belief-based system driven by a madman who doesn't even believe in germ theory. As someone who watched her baby struggle to breathe in the hospital for a week from RSV, it pains me we are going in reverse.

Remember these my fellow kids?

So incredible, you have to see it.

Me, too.
