Uh oh: At least 2 of the 8 "are likely to draw an uproar from pro-vaccine groups for their criticism of federal scientists and [Biden's] Covid vaccine policies." They are: Martin Kulldorff (Great Barrington co-author) & Robert Malone (right-wing misinfo. spreader). www.nytimes.com/2025/06/11/u...

Please stop saying ICE agents are “wearing masks” They’re wearing face coverings. Gaitors. The anti-mask rhetoric has caused untold harm to disabled people. Mask bans have already been enacted in many places. We must fight for our right to continue wearing medical masks & respirators.

As an epidemiologist I feel like I cant breathe. I genuinely cant breathe having to act normal. Like nothing is happening. Like people arent going to die because a cult is in charge of the country. They are a cult. Republicans are a fascist death cult. Firing ALL cancer doctors & vaccine specialists

Wildfires across Canada are causing smoke to spread across North America, as far as Florida. A reminder that particulates in wildfire smoke can cause short- and long-term health issues. An excellent way to protect yourself is to wear a well-fitting mask like an N95.

So many folks think you can “try harder” out of disability, yet they can’t even try harder to wear a mask. They literally found it too hard. Too inconvenient. Chronic illness is really hard and inconvenient. The difference is it’s not a choice, and for many it’s permanent.

www.buffalo.edu/news/release... We don’t see these sort of studies hitting the headlines, we see many alarmist stories instead. Nothing on the blood clot risks caused by #COVID itself. The risks from Covid are an order of magnitude higher.

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

I don't think anyone outside of universities, pharma and biotech, independent research institutions have any idea of what is happening right now. If you haven't sounded the alarm among your friends, family and colleagues, now is the time to do it.

FRAUDULENT—RFK Jr’s report on “Make America Healthy Again” (MAHA) cited completely FAKE studies that do not even exist, & completely misinterprets others. Truly wild. This is the same guy who bypassed all CDC scientists to put out anti vax nonsense. www.notus.org/health-scien...

When I was growing up children who were sick stayed home. It didn’t do our education any harm whatsoever and meant that the whole class didn’t get sick. The current attitude towards attendance is unhealthy imo. It has prioritised attendance over children’s long term health and is why we have tens

ACOG is deeply disappointed by HHS’s move to drop COVID-19 vaccine recommendations in pregnancy. The science is clear: COVID-19 remains dangerous in pregnancy and vaccination protects both patients and newborns. The vaccine is safe and protects families. Read our full statement: buff.ly/OGue7sO

Wearing a mask is not “living in fear”, it’s adapting to reality. Covid changed things. It’s a multi system vascular virus that spreads through the air. Its killed & disabled millions. A well fitted respirator is one of the best ways to live your life while safeguarding long term health.

This decision is antithetical to public health. COVID-19 in pregnancy, particularly in the third trimester, is extremely dangerous and aside from the elderly infants younger than 6 months have the highest risk of hospitalization from COVID. They are critically dependent on maternal antibodies.

You haven’t “learned to live with COVID” if you’re not aware that it’s possible to get infected outdoors, especially in crowded outdoor areas or being near 1 infected person Less risk isn’t 0 risk You can’t make a “personal risk assessment” if you’re not well-informed abt how COVID is transmitted
