In case this disappears from the CDC site in the coming hours: here is the full recommended vaccine schedule for birth to 18 years. Keep kids and your community safe. Alt text supported. @altcdc.bsky.social #vaccines #shots #RFKJr

Holy day America. Tuberculosis is spreading in Kansas. Measles outbreak in the unvaccinated Texas. Bird #flu increasingly in animals and people. Worst respiratory flu outbreaks nationwide since 2008. And the HIV denier,vaccine skeptic #RFKJr is elected to run the nation's #health systems.

In RFK Jr.’s first statement since becoming HHS Secretary, he applauded Trump dismantling USAID, calling it “a sinister propagator of totalitarianism and war across the globe.” His uncle, President John F. Kennedy, created USAID, 64 years ago. What a disgrace to our country

A measles outbreak in Texas—24 cases so far in a county that voted 91% for Trump—illustrates a grim irony. Senate Republicans plan to vote today on anti-vaccine activist RFK Jr.’s nomination to be HHS Secretary. If they seat him, it will be Republican families that suffer. www.cato.org/blog/re...

Fuck everyone who allowed this. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

Mitch McConnell was the only Republican no vote. The US healthcare system is doomed. www.cnn.com/2025/02/13/p...

happy first birthday to Bluesky, and what a year it's been! with every day, the need for an open network that puts people first becomes increasingly clear. we're glad to be building this with you. after all, the heart of a social network is the people.

Update: USAID is now being called "a criminal organization" by Elon Musk after USAID officials tried to refuse DOGE access and were put on leave. "Time for it to die," he says.

Good morning from our freezing zone!!! ❄️☃️

Good morning. ❄️🙏🏻

Yes, bird flu could become airborne, human-to-human. As my collaborator Seema Lakdawala points out, we're doing the experiment now. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/03/s...

Hello #BlueSky family From Up North! We freezing, but we cool😬🥶☃️

Cancer patients over charged 1000% by United Healthcare. Shocking. Unbelievable . Inhumane fortune.com/2025/01/15/f...

A good teacher can make such a difference. Even as a full grown adult I sill remember the things I've learned from them. ❤️

So well put and so true. We all need to reach out to help instead of politicizing and diverting all attention from the Climate change disaster.

Homes lost, animals and communities burnt.This isn't about politics, likes, or anything of the sort. These #LAfires are a real tragedy. Please check on the people you love. Sadly many don't have fire insurance,because companies 've been cancelling policies in CA. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

open.substack.com/pub/thefront... it turns out I do have something to say about fire is happening in LA, which is that fire is awful. Terrifying. Primal. It's a special kind of fear.

Telling someone who's autistic to ignore a sensory trigger is unlikely to help them. Many autists report that their brain can't filter out triggers in the way NT's can. We wish we could ignore them but we just can't. Imagine telling someone to ignore a fire in a room. That's how it feels.

#UntreatedMentalHealth among American men is the least talked reason of evil. We need to stop the political partisanship first,& focus on this.

I recall a lot of hoopla from certain people about a crisis among American men and those same people are looking at what happened in New Orleans & Vegas and blaming... immigration? Wokeness? Schools? Liberals? Literally everything except widespread untreated mental health issues among American men.

Cutest thing my daughter gifted me. So a very Happy new 2025 year to everyone. #Happynewyear #medEd #RheumSky

“As long as you’re providing these very high-quality, coordinated services, you’re going to see better outcomes. Take them away, and people aren’t just going to maintain that over time.” @viscidula.bsky.social Excellent story by @ellenbarry.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2024/12/30/h...

I did, in fact, need this.

“Testimony from polyglots has invited a more sophisticated take… What if language is less like a yoke than like a wind, nudging us in various directions? This moderate approach, more in line with Whorf’s original perspective, is known as ‘weak Whorfianism’ or, paradoxically, neo-Whorfianism.”

Thanks to everyone working on a holiday esp in healthcare — doctors, nurses, paramedics, ambulance drivers, radiology techs, cafeteria staff — as well as firefighters, police and all who make the world better and safer when so many just want to be home. You are so appreciated. ♥️

I do like the late afternoon winter light lending a reddish tone to the view out my office window.
