Hospital acquired Covid has a 10% fatality rate.

It’s almost completely preventable with respirators and clean air, but healthcare facilities have chosen a policy of forced infection instead.

Let this case set a precedent & start forcing hospitals to adopt airborne precautions!

Getting a handful of these weird and off-putting cryptonerds trying to argue about this.

Brother, Nostr is over there. Join your weird and off-putting and extremely suspicious fellow travellers in Jack Dorsey's *other* attempt at making a safe space for you freaks.
Bluesky was literally meant to be a cryptobro social network for grifters, LinkedIn sludge, and libertarians who know way too much about age of consent laws.

Jack Dorsey *left* when instead of weird and off-putting cryptonerds, trans people started hanging out here.
Can you think of examples where people use technologies differently from what the developers intended, whether unintentionally or as an act of resistance?

one way to think about the current administration is as a marriage of convenience between the rival opus dei and epstein-maxwell child sex trafficking organizations
i think the president of the united states of america deserves to know whether his vice president jd vance is leaking details of the child trafficking and money laundering scheme the president was involved in to the press
so who is WSJ sourcing from? what’s the state of the art speculation on this

Hi! Anti-vaxxers are trying (and succeeding) to kill children!
For almost a year The Sunday Times has been running a campaign on vaccines. This week we were nominated for a UK Press Award (having won a British Journalism Award in Dec for our vaccines work). That we report this today saddens me greatly:
🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Health officials are racing to contain a growing measles outbreak in London, which has struck down dozens of young children and affected 7 schools and a nursery.

UKHSA has warned an outbreak across London could see 40,000 - 160,000 cases:

Public comment on Dr Oz's proposed rules to ban gender-affirming care for youth closes 2/17

One rule bans hospital-based care, the other eliminates Medicaid/CHIP coverage

Together they'd make care virtually unavailable nationwide, including in shield law states

One job of a properly functioning government is to keep the horrors of American policing far away from the lived reality of median white voters. Many can only support "tough on crime/illegals" in theory

Establishment Democrat cultists have no idea how you actually win an election. Look at this shit.

“If you didn’t vote, you can’t complain.”

Thanks for proving that establishment democrats don’t want to win.
