Rest in Power, Alice.
Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated

Another reason to get your flu shot:
The CDC Fluview map of influenza and ILI (influenza like illness) is normally updated weekly. It has not been changed since September 20.
Patient: Help me doctor I'm really sick!
Me: Ok
Patient: Is flu going around?
Me: Fuck if I know 🤷

These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.
This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.

My 14-year-old self would never have guessed that, in 50 years' time, all the world's music would be available at the click of a button, you'd navigate the globe by carrying a tiny computer around in your pocket, and the US President would post a video of himself shitting over American citizens.

it's so funny to see America's health insurance companies be like "look. If there's one thing we love it's denying you care. but we ran the numbers - and we cannot BELIEVE we're saying this - and it's cheaper for us to just pay for the vaccines than deal with you going to the ER."
Regardless of the disgraceful nonsense we will likely hear from this administration in the coming days on vaccine “recommendations,” Americas healthcare insurers issued a joint statement tonight saying coverage for Covid and flu shots will remain unchanged from prior years.
Speaks for itself.

My oldest received their first hepatitis B vaccine before they were put into my arms, and I wouldn’t have had it any other way.
~40% of Hepatitis B infections are caught in childhood. It is contagious enough that it can be spread just from sharing common household objects.
The chance of chronic infection (ie does not clear, and is associated with high rates of liver failure and cancer) ranges from 50%-90% in this age group.

There’s a rumor that Kennedy’s revised, biased ACIP will move hepatitisB age up to 4, creating real access issues to parents that want to to protect babies and setting babies up for lifelong harm.

There is so much to love about The Pitt, but Katherine LaNasa’s perfect Pittsburgh accent was one of the best parts.

About this Florida vaccine story:
When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough.
We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated.
“Oh, they’d have died.”

Nobody is talking about this, but Casey Means was nominated as surgeon general on and referred to the Senate HELP Committee on June 2. As of July 31, the committee has not advanced her nomination due to missing paperwork.
The Surgeon General has to have a medical license, which she does not have.
