Nothing says "public service" like telling millions to just get over dying without health care. Truly inspiring leadership.

🚨🚨🚨 CBO: " #MAGAMurderBill will kick 8.2M ACA enrollees off their coverage!"

Wakely Consulting: "Hold our beer."

New white paper projects up to *~14 MILLION* losing ACA exchange or BHP coverage between House GOP budget bill + IRA subsidy expiration:

3 years after Dobbs, the harm is undeniable—but so is the resilience. Physicians & clinicians are stepping up, even as they face legal risk for providing evidence-based care that conflicts with restrictive state laws. DFA is proud to help lead the fight—through mobilization, litigation, & education.

If you want to avoid long term health issues, wear a mask

If you care about disabled people, wear a mask

If you care about being able to resist & fight back, wear a mask

If you know that raw milk, vitamin A and green juice aren’t cures, wear a mask

If you want to fight fascism, wear a mask

It took decades for us to reach a place where people were comfortable talking about their autism. Where diagnosis became achievable because awareness & advocacy efforts were successful

This move will undo all of that. People will fear being diagnosed & mask themselves more

The cruelty is the point

We are fighting for funding for the ME/CFS Research Roadmap.

This bipartisan issue impacts people of all ages.
Please help us find the cure soon.

ICYMI: As kids keep getting sicker, media ignores scientific papers pointing to immune dysregulation and damage after COVID. Instead, parents are urged to “watch out” for unusual waves of RSV, flu, and more, while masks, clean air & COVID go unmentioned.

In the U.S., a study with 108,237 COVID survivors reveals that post-COVID conditions (PCCs) significantly reduce quality of life.

Survivors with PCCs report poorer general, mental, and physical health, especially in middle age.

Greyhound, I promise I will never talk smack about you ever again.

Bravo

The next time you hear RFK Jr talk about how he wants to “make America healthy” and end the chronic illness epidemic … remember that he just chose to cut the entire NIOSH department.

A group of people whose sole purpose is to help prevent sickness, death and disability.

Retired early from clinical medicine this week :( Not what I wanted but have to protect my health and family wellbeing now which couldn’t happen in my role as office TIC gynecologist. I will continue in education and advocacy spaces in healthcare and community orgs I am involved in and fighting LC!

The executive functioning required to make these decisions is considerable, and ironically also has a negative impact on our baseline. It’s exhausting having to be on high alert all the time. Unfortunately the alternative, throwing caution to the wind, is far more dangerous to our health.

abc missing the point... again

its not "dating pressure" is violence, assault, misogyny, death threats, stalking, revenge pr0n, r*pe, murder

Nobody seems to get this. I have lived with this possibility that one unfortunate encounter could leave me bed and house bound and that hangs over my head every day I walk in to face unmasked people in my workplace. I am finally escaping to safety after 5 years of suffering this reality.

“You’re already sick so why not take the risk?”

Non disabled people act like because our level of functioning is reduced, we should be ok taking extra risks.

It’s the opposite. We know the pain of losing health & independence. We know help isn’t coming. We protect what we have left at all costs.

It will never cease to amaze me that wearing a mask was a deal breaker for many people.

It’s a powerful public health tool. It’s one of the most effective ways to avoid mass disablement. It keeps you & your community healthy. It shows you prioritize self care, disability justice & bodily autonomy.

This is no surprise to many of us who work in long COVID. The poor lack access to good care; the poor can’t take time off to rest when they need to; the poor often work in higher exposure risk jobs (healthcare and teaching and essential workers) and are women.

This is what they're doing to Dr. Badar Khan Suri.

This is not my America, and the world is aghast.

Georges Benjamin, exec director of the American Public Health Assn, calls on Secretary Kennedy to resign, calling him "a danger to the public’s health.”

Thank you so much for being there, @metrauxjulia.bsky.social!

Everyone who couldn't make it, we are hosting another rally next Saturday. Looking forward to seeing you there.

All avoidable with vaccine. Also for adults, those immunized between 1963-67 did not get the live attenuated vaccine and they may want to consider a booster for protection from measles after a discussion with their doctor.
