Social media hates real doctors, but loves the ones on TV — and somehow saves all its grace for politicians getting paid not to work.

Pretty sure we’re about to start living through both the Great Depression and the 1930s in Germany. What a time to be alive - said no millennial ever.

Let’s talk risk vs. benefit - because “informed consent” means looking at the whole picture. ✅ MMR vaccine: • Serious side effects ≈ 1 in 1,000,000 • Minor side effects like fever or rash ~1 in 20 ❌ Measles: • 1 in 1,000 die • 1 in 4 hospitalized • 1 in 25,000 develop fatal SSPE years later • And

Right now, the government shut down fight is over healthcare - here’s what that really means: 🩺 About 24 million people rely on ACA premium tax credits. If these expire, premiums could double and 4–5 million people could lose coverage entirely. 🚫 Some claim this is about giving “illegal

In 2025, we are losing our measles-free status, just 25 years after we eliminated measles from the US because of vaccines.

It’s not because our sanitation systems have been eliminated.

It’s because people aren’t getting vaccinated.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

I did it because the government isn’t.

This is what I found.

White words on a black background read:

50+
Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino.

~130
Agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers.

~20
Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.

Literally in tears. People outside of healthcare have no idea how devastating this is.

Like, I had a subscription as part of my job as an infection control nurse.

I feel sick.

Just in case: MMWR is a key frontline indicator for outbreaks. The first subtle hint of AIDS was in that publication. This is the pale horse that Death rides.

Illinois law requires all registered vehicles to display front and back license plates, without exception. But to evade accountability, masked federal immigration agents are driving around in unmarked cars without plates.

Federal immigration officers wear masks, no name tags — now some drive cars without license plates

The Sun-Times has documented four unmarked cars carrying federal officers without required plates, offering another way to shield their identities. Federal officials say they’re meeting regulations.

Thanks to Republicans in Congress, some Americans will have to pay more than $22,000 every year to keep their health insurance coverage.

$22,000.

That could be a matter of keeping health care coverage or just giving up—and for some people, life and death.

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

RFK Jr. is HARKing in human form.

“hypothesizing after results are known,” is a tactic to “fit” a narrative to data.

It’s how he’s going to “make proof” for false health claims.

RFK Jr isn’t a scientist. He doesn’t know how to do science. He HAS profited off health disinformation for decades.
