“I’m not going to wash my hands unless the government mandates I do it” That’s how healthcare workers sound when they refuse to mask. They said it’s “not required”. Infection control is a basic part of your job. If a patient asks you to mask, wear the mask!

We’re in another Middle East war. I’m reflecting on the fact that it’s easy to start a war, difficult to end it. There’s often war optimism, so it’s unlikely to end with bomb strikes today. Lastly, I’m troubled that Trump’s national security team is who we have running this war.

RFK Jr fired the entire vaccine advisory committee. Their job is to ensure vaccine recommendations follow the best available science. He also says the June meeting will happen. So, don't be surprised when his next step is to appoint unqualified grifters. RFK Jr is anti-vax and anti-public health.

THIS IS AMAZING! Researchers have made a SIGNIFICANT breakthrough in the quest for an HIV cure. By developing a method that enables the delivery of an mRNA-based therapy to make the virus VISIBLE WITHIN white blood cells, this approach paves the way to FULLY CLEAR the virus from the body. 🧪🧵⬇️

We killed an ENTIRE FLU with bandanas and going shopping less. The flu could kill me but I assume you don't want the flu, either. With improved HVAC systems, we don't even need to go shopping less. A better world is possible with collective effort.

"This isn't even real AI" is probably the most damning, true thing we can say that will register with tech bros so it will be fun to watch them stammer and try and defend their Bot Slop when it's not even good bot slop.

Microsoft employees are concerned that the company has been blocking Outlook emails containing the words “Palestine,” “Gaza,” “genocide,” “apartheid” and “IOF off Azure,” even if they’re including those terms in an HR complaint, according to screenshots, recordings and documents viewed by CNBC.

The political party who told us masks & going to restaurants during a pandemic should be a personal decision have decided that vaccines are not a personal decision, protecting yourself & family is not a personal decision, and are saying you’re not bright enough to choose what’s best for you.

Jeff Bridges says he contracted COVID while receiving chemo. @tinu.bsky.social fought tirelessly for masks in healthcare. She had long covid & cancer and HCWs refused to mask for her. We must do better. People are dying & becoming disabled because HCWs prioritize comfort over infection control

This. Is. Infuriating. The refusal of treatment centers to require masking around immunocompromised people is absolute medical malpractice and, not to mention, brutally cruel and unethical.

Here's the latest variant picture for the United States, to mid-April. The LP.8.1.* variant growth continued to around 61%, but may have peaked. The presumed next challengers – XFG.* and XDV.* (led by NB.1.8.1) are still below 5%. #COVID19 #USA #LP_8_1 #XFG #XDV 🧵

Parents are urged to “watch out” for unusual waves of illness. We’re already seeing an unprecedented measles outbreak. A whooping cough one is growing as well. Will people ever consider that it’s time to start mitigating covid? Wear a mask and clean the air? Repeat infections aren’t inevitable

I posted my "Time Travel Teens" comics on Ko-Fi, where they're easier to find (for me, I want to be able to find them easier). ko-fi.com/post/Time-Tr... Donating to Ko-Fi helps me keep making comics! You should consider that! I will definitely make more Time Travel Teens comics faster if you do!

The "Notwithstanding Clause" was Canada's constitutional compromise. Intended as a rare exception, it's becoming dangerously routine. And Pierre Poilievre's threat to invoke it raises troubling questions. #cdnpoli #canada ✅ WATCH MY VIDEO: youtu.be/2HKeysUYrTI

None of you in queer adjacent, leftist discords dare give them the scan of your ID or your face so you can view "mature content"; doing so would be extremely fucking stupid and endanger you and everyone else on the server.
