Listen. This is important. There’s measles going around. Measles is the one and only thing (that we know of) that can erase your immune memory. It causes immune amnesia. You have to rebuild all your immunity. Go to your doc and get your measles antibodies checked. You do not want immune amnesia.

Anyone who destroyed sex workers’ lives by voting for SESTA sure needs to explain why they’re fine with the US becoming a haven for sex traffickers.

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

Make a huge mistake. Then make a false claim about how you fixed it. They did it for PEPFAR. Now Ebola. I follow this particular topic VERY closely, so here's what really happened and why this isn't true AT ALL...🧵

I just designed these post cards and ordered 2500 of them to hand out, mail out (so carriers and postal workers can see them!) and distribute in other ways. I'll make them available for the cost of printing and postage, but if you'd like the design files so you can get them printed yourself, DM me!

Nothing about kids dying from measles is normal. Anti-vaxxers like RFK Jr. and the Republicans who enable them are responsible for every single one of these deaths.

This is as much a threat to academic freedom as anything Trump is doing, and if you think you can participate in it while being a good liberal, you are wrong but might very well prosper in joining a long line of distinguished hypocrites in US history.

Please understand me when I say that you cannot talk yourself out of criminal charges. You can, however, talk yourself into them. "I invoke my rights to silence and counsel and will not answer questions without my attorney present" is the ONLY thing you should EVER say to a police officer, EVER.

Practice saying it, even if you have no reason to think you'll ever be detained: "I invoke my rights to silence and counsel and will not answer questions without my attorney present." (I just said it out loud twice.)

🧪 As the measles outbreak in West Texas & New Mexico grows to >130, not hard to imagine how much worse this same scenario could be a few years down the road if RFK undermines confidence in & access to vaccines. The signs he will are already adding up. My latest @opinion.bloomberg.com (gift link!):

Tens of millions of Americans rely on Medicaid (and most uninsured people are eligible for it) but even if you don't use Medicaid, cutting its budget means that entire hospitals, clinics, and other medical practices and facilities will shut down. Literally everyone's healthcare access will be worse.

If RFK Jr. actually cared about medication safety he would have worked to empower the FDA. Instead he is gutting the FDA and proposing that untested therapies be available (sold - it all comes down to profiting off their positions of power) to the public with no protections in place.
