some people have been saying!

NEW: Trump says Elon Musk is 'really not leaving,' and federal workers from six agencies tell WIRED that DOGE work is escalating in their departments as both new and familiar DOGE faces have appeared in meetings and at new offices. read @makenakelly.bsky.social, @zoeschiffer.bsky.social, and me:

I'm saying this a lot these days... no words.

"Since 1974, vaccination has averted 154 million deaths, including 146 million among children younger than 5 years... For every death averted, 66 years of full health were gained on average, translating to 10·2 billion years of full health gained." #vaccines www.thelancet.com/journals/lan....

Someone at the CDC is living the most important slogan of the moment ("fuck you, make me")

When constituents brought up that cutting Medicaid and SNAP will lead to people dying, MAGA Senator Joni Ernst replied with a smile: “well we all are going to die.” This is what autogenocide looks like. They are purging the elderly, disabled, and ill. #3E

Leftists who shit on online activism are often leftists who refuse to mask to make offline activism accessible. Maskless leftism does work of fascists & eugenicists, who’d love leftists to gather to hotbox a pandemic, limit their own community with illness, then abandon each other due to ableism.

NOW— Mass ICE arrests happened/are happening at the Manhattan immigration court at 290 Broadway on the 20th floor. I was just outside the building and an observer came out crying, confirmed they witnessed people getting detained outside courtrooms while families watched and wept.

🧵 ICE AIR FLIGHTS—30 MAY 25 ✈️ One notable early Omni Air flight underway out of Harlingen via El Paso and Puerto Rico (now) to Venezuela (thanks: @tomcartwright.bsky.social) 👀 Follow this thread for ICE Air updates ⤵️

Covid is not over. The latest variant, dubbed “razor blade throat” has caused hospitalized patients in Asia to double. It’s time to mask up. Mask week is a great way to show solidarity with disabled & vulnerable people. To tell governments that no one is expendable. It’s a form of resistance.

As of today, Elon Musk is thought to be responsible for the death of 300,000 adults and kids due to the illegal closure of USAID (source: www.impactcounter.com/dashboard?vi...) That's a 103 deaths per hour, each day. And it will get worse. His legacy is one of death, destruction, and failure.

Mask up NOW “A new COVID variant, known as NB.1.8.1, has made landfall in the United States, and it's more transmissible than other variants.” www.huffpost.com/entry/the-mo...

Called it. Casey Means didn’t drop out of residency because she was “disillusioned with the medical establishment.” She had already taken a prolonged leave of absence & was having serious performance issues. There’s no way she was on track to graduate after already missing 3 months. It’s all a grift

🦋 CDC are monitoring H5 bird flu in the US but what happens if it spreads further or mutates again? The cancellation of the Moderna vaccine is a potentially devastating move from the anti-vax anti-science government Bird flu has already moved to mammals in the US leading to a death in Louisiana 🦋

And other countries are still closing schools @wendyorent.bsky.social

Of course.

22 years ago I pivoted from working on antibiotic resistance to pandemic viruses. Since then, I've argued that if we care about saving US lives in expectation, advance capacity for producing bird flu vaccine offers by far the greatest expected return on investment. ... We were so goddamn close.

Given HHS has decided to stop recommending SARS-CoV-2 vaccinations in children but continue recommending Influenza vaccinations... ...I submit: Total deaths due to three infectious pathogens in children, 2020-present: COVID: 2,046 Influenza: 875 RSV: 190

kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

chalk up another point for the “they hate us and want us to die” theory

I never thought I'd see the day when wearing a mask to stay healthy from disease (like Measles or Covid) was considered "fringe". #CovidIsNotOVer Wear a NIOSH approved N95 to protect your health. With less access to the Covid vaccines in the U.S., Covid transmission WILL get worse. #MaskUp #Resist

reputable medical journals keep saying that RFK and his pro-disease friends are full of shit and so naturally they must be shunned www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

As I noted last week, the U.S. position on vaccinating children against COVID-19 is at odds with international consensus. But NOT vaccinating pregnant people is ALSO at odds with the data! There is clear evidence that vaccines are a good idea during pregnancy!

Israeli soldiers gunned down Amer Rabee, a 14-year-old Palestinian American boy who was born in New Jersey, last month in the West Bank. His death has spurred anger over soldiers’ use of force and an apparent lack of accountability. nyti.ms/4dDu6E7

love that rfk is just trying to kill us

In a sample of 472 children under 2 years, and 539 children aged 3-5 years, over 40% of those who were reported by their parents to have had Covid presented with at least one prolonged symptom. This suggests #LongCovid being common in young children www.iflscience.com/first-of-its...

Thinking of this @propublica.org reporting today about stillbirths of unvaccinated parents during the Delta wave, before CDC had explicitly recommended COVID vaccines for pregnant people and the damage the virus did to the placentas. www.propublica.org/article/covi...

Don’t get complacent, folks. COVID is not over. Get vaccinated while you still can, before the Brainworm Jr. FDA follows through with his plan to restrict access to the vaccine. e.vnexpress.net/news/news/th...

Even as the US government is busy limiting access to COVID boosters… A new Covid variant surging in Asia is now spreading across the US www.independent.co.uk/news/health/...

Just another good reason for women in the US to not get pregnant.

"Covid [vaccination] no longer recommended for healthy kids and pregnant women" 1. SARS-CoV-2 is the leading cause of death from infectious disease in children 2. Pregnant women have impaired immune function and are one of the highest-risk groups for SARS-CoV-2 infection This is just evil

🧵 1/ Can we talk about the MMR vaccine? (Since our 🪱 boss won’t...) It doesn’t just fight measles—MMR also protects against mumps and rubella. Rubella was eliminated in the U.S. in 2004 ✅ That means it’s no longer spreading here. Thank you, vaccines 💉

None of these men are legitimate scientists. This is not “good science.” COVID doubled death rates in pregnancy pre-vaccine, and mountains of evidence show COVID causes worse outcomes for mom & baby. Evidence also shows vaccination has no adverse effects on pregnancy or baby but does protect them.

The effects of Covid in pregnancy are devastating and preventable by vaccination; now we have strong data from Penn Medicine that vaccines protect children and adolescents from long Covid

A huge step from HHS that is at odds with science showing significant risks for young children and pregnant women — and that directly contradicts *the FDA's own publication* from last week listing pregnancy as a high-risk condition that would qualify people for this fall's Covid vaccine

Andry Hernandez and hundreds of other people have been imprisoned without trial in El Salvador for over 70 days now, held incommunicado at U.S. expense in conditions worse than any Supermax prison.

I’m not being flippant or alarmist or exaggerating when I say this- RFK jr is a killer. He has caused deaths in Samoa and he is directly responsible for deaths now in the U.S.
