If you care about your disabled friends having access to basic rights, PLEASE read up on this & contact your AG before Feb 25 - especially if you're in one of the 17 states in the lawsuit but even if you're not asking your AG to support 504 and push back is good 🤍♿ #disability

504 plans are how kids can carry EpiPens or make sure their classroom is peanut free. It’s how kids with diabetes can use insulin. It’s how kids with mobility issues can have more passing time or use an elevator. An attack on 504 is an attack on everyone. Listen to @lollardfish.bsky.social.

RFK Jr. thinks that a clinical trial should be done for the entire childhood vaccine schedule. Here’s why that will never happen. 1. You can’t do a randomized trial of something that we already know is safe and effective. There would have to be a placebo group that didn’t get vaxxed. Unethical.

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

Easy breezy Resistance task: 1. Google Gulf of Mexico. 2. Click three little dots to the right of it 3. hit "Send Feedback" 4. hit "Gulf Of America" 5. hit "Inaccurate content". 6. hit "Incorrect", then tell them its name: ‘This body of water is the Gulf of Mexico’ 7. Repeat task often :)

A phenomenal legacy indeed. I’ve been around in ICU long enough to see in the concept of “baby lung” and lung-protective ventilation strategies, prone positioning & ECMO. Truly revolutionary. Phenomenal legacy. RIP Professor Gattinoni #CriticalCare #ResusSky #MedSky

I was diagnosed with HIV in 1998, when I was 30. Many of my friends had died but I was told, with the new drugs available, I could expect to live another 20 years. That was 27 years ago. Honour those we lost. Celebrate that we can now treat and prevent HIV. Make HIV stigma history. #WorldAIDSDay

Ok, the other place is toxic and full of misinformation, but how do we get the ‘trending’ bits in here? What used to be a great feature of Twitter, it served as an alarm system of what was happening in the world right now.

"If you’re a health-care worker who sees a patient in a mask, put one on for them. Don’t make them ask. Don’t psychologize them. Don’t betray the trust they’ve shown you. They’ve put their lives in your hands. Don’t take that for granted, it’s not an easy thing for many of us to do"
