Everyone 6 months and older is eligible to get a flu vaccine. It makes no sense to restrict Covid vaccines to only people who have specific medical conditions. The FDA is basing its decisions on politics, not science.

Hong Kong is the first country to experience a COVID-19 wave driven by the new NB.1.8.1 variant. From the Hong Kong surveillance report, wastewater is the most consistent indicator. That indicator is still trending upwards, to the highest level since mid-2023. #COVID19 #HongKong #NB_1_8_1 🧵

Anyone who says they’re tough on crime but have no intention of being tough on poverty doesn’t really care about crime.

Shout out to all the nurses with the University of Alberta Lung Transplant division! These nurses go above and beyond. Transplant is hard & it is a particularly terrifying during these COVID times. My nurses were always kind, compassionate & helpful. 🫁♻️💜

This is very troubling. When Alberta's chief electoral officer takes the unprecedented step of telling every MLA that the Justice Minister's proposed Election Act changes will undermine elections, he's clearly calling out anti-democratic behaviour. 1 www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/art...

Here’s the problem: these unvaxxed idiots go to Emergency & sit in a room unmasked, exposing people like me, severely immune compromised transplant recipients, who are doing everything they can to stay alive. These dummies don’t give a shit about anyone else but purport to be Christian.

In 1846, a doctor proved handwashing could save lives. He was mocked by the medical establishment, lost his job, and was eventually committed to an asylum. Shortly after, he was beaten to death by attendants while trying to escape. In some ways, medicine is still kind of like this. See why:

Your periodic reminder that one way to think about privilege is: who's allowed to make mistakes?

Every now and then it hits me that this isn’t just about 1 inhuman act or another, but a bigger picture. That the entire democratic experiment in America is falling apart in front of our eyes. It’s historic in that sense. Which then makes me wonder why all media stories aren’t framed this way.

Dear Secretary Rubio, Hi, Tufts professor here. As someone who was on campus during the time in question, your claims about what Rumeysa Ozturk did bear no resemblance to reality. So did you just revoke her visa because she co-authored an anodyne op-ed that never mentioned Hamas? Sincerely, DWD

“Are you going to wear that mask forever??” Probably. I’m adapting to my environment. We’ve allowed a multi system vascular virus to circulate unmitigated for years. A good respirator can keep me from getting sick. Until we face COVID & come up with society wide solutions, my mask stays on

This is a huge victory against arbitrary, unchecked power -- and a key step toward restoring at least some of USAID's vital work to save lives and to advance freedom and American security.

It is increasingly getting difficult for the average person to discern good information from bad. When we focus more on Dr Henry’s tone vs accuracy, we are doing public health a disservice. The sheer volume of bad information coming from Dr Henry, a senior public health leader, is unacceptable.
