'measles outbreak at the child prison' seems entirely avoidable, it's really the kind of thing that only happens if you do several unthinkably evil things on purpose all at once
Horrifying. ICE confirms measles outbreak at Dilley family detention center. www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-dil...
ICE halts "all movement" at Texas detention facility due to measles infections

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept."

When anyone ever tries to say that billionaires should fund science (or anything meant for the public good), let’s remember Epstein et al and their “proposal” for female behavior-modifying STIs.
Looks like somebody - maybe Nathan, maybe somebody else, can't easily link this file to the others and I refuse to get sued for this thread - worked up a full two-pager on how we could commercialize behavior-manipulating compounds in sexually transmitted infections to create a female viagra.

We did not properly punish the confederates. We did not properly punish the insurrectionists on January 6th. We have to punish ICE.
They can’t be allowed to slink back into their communities quietly. Expose them. Arrest them. Convict them. Imprison them.

“I was confused as to why the victim was on his side, because that is not standard practice when a victim has been shot. Checking for a pulse and administering CPR is standard practice.
Instead of doing either of those things, the ICE agents appeared to be

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

Inhumane and incredibly short-sighted. These meds keep people healthy and protect their partners and communities. This is a death sentence for people who can’t afford the meds ($20k plus per year) and will lead to more infections, more drastically altered lives, and more need for assistance.
Catastrophe: Florida's Department of Health is stopping coverage for antivirals to 10,000 low-income people with HIV infection, blaming impending federal cuts to the AIDS Drug Assistance Program. 12.5% of Americans with HIV live in Florida.
Thousands to lose access to HIV drugs with new cuts

Dems are the HR of the United States. Not here to help, but here to give you false hope so you don’t form a union.
There is zero excuse anymore. They are literally just not doing this because they like Trump and want to keep him in office.

The fundamental difference - and the reason why Denmark can "get away" with fewer shots - is because it has universal healthcare, paid leave, and a homogenous population.
But, ultimately, they have decided that thousands of annual cases of chickenpox, RSV, rotavirus, etc. is okay. I disagree.

What is public health's "lane"? It surely ends somewhere; there are epistemic boundaries in every direction. But public health must have an abolitionist view of violence and empire, even when we do not have the immediate tools to achieve it overnight
