As an fyi: I do not have ANY active accounts on twitter/X. Any account created with my name/profile is NOT me.
I made the conscious decision to 100% delete and deactivate as it is time for me to move on and not cling on to that platform.

The fact that people are actually entertaining/willing to give MTG a second chance despite her years of vile, despicable, deplorable, and inhumane treatment of her fellow humans is evidence enough that we live in the dumbest fucking timeline ever

I’d invite folks to please stop suggesting that hand sanitizer is the key to preventing norovirus.
All of you who have followed us for so many years know better now that SOAP AND WATER is the only effective method in reducing norovirus cases. Hand sanitizers do diddly squat against this virus.

A panel that advises #CDC on vaccine policy votes to do away with the recommendation all babies should be vaccinated against #hepatitisB at birth. "We are doing harm," said panel member Cody Meissner, who voted against this #ACIP recommendation. www.statnews.com/2025/12/05/c...

If you need any further evidence on why CDC is broken, just look at the past few ACIP meetings.
These “experts” can barely run a structured meeting with appropriate due process.
You trust that these charlatans know what’s best for America’s health when they can barely understand the word “AGENDA”?

Ignoring and not talking about AIDS does not make it go away Donny.
I cannot think of a single time where a country or multi-lateral entity has EVER chosen not to commemorate World AIDS Day.
But don't worry. We took care of those nasty seed oils.

1/ ⚠️ Breaking: At CDC, we've been told the US Government will not officially commemorate World AIDS Day this year. No explanation given.

It's been almost 9 months since the first set of illegal firings began happening across the federal government.
More than 200K
How much money did that save the federal government? $0
How much will their critical service cost the American public? Billions

No former and current federal employee should feel good about the fact that chuck and gang have decided to cave on the ACA subsidies.
It’s a slap to the face of everyone who has suffered this far to fight back. Every single one of them needs to be primaried.

The administration has 100% taken the country hostage with contingency funds that were already set aside and approved.
They would rather starve millions vs moving the needle forward.

Received a nice little surprise award in our public health dept staff meeting.
This award felt more meaningful than any of my meritorious performance award as it was a heartfelt thank you from my colleagues.
It took every little bit of energy I could muster to not ugly cry while accepting it.

Of all the people, Rubio knows DAMN well that the United States is the LARGEST contributor to the Global Fund, which provides lifesaving treatment for AIDS, TB, and Malaria.
Every year we have contributed BILLIONS in helping countries get these treatments.

The insidious “obvious now” factor is that all this dialog of vaccine and Tylenol causing autism is that it’s normalizing and setting the tone of “neurodivergence is an unforgivable sin and we must not let them exist”
We are not a sin.
We deserve to exist.
We deserve love.

20 years ago I would never think that it was acceptable for men to get their nails done
Even after coming out, there was the extremely toxic gay dating culture of “no femme, no Asians, no Blacks, no fat” mentality
Today I said “fuck it” and went to get a manicure and select my nail polish

It appears we’ve now gone down the rabbit hole (again) of anecdotes being evidence for mRNA vaccines causing cancer. And Robert Malone with his tacky:dated tinfoil hat claiming Pfizer tampered with their safety data… (with no evidence)

If anyone has followed me back when I covered CDC’s ACIP meeting pre-trump, you’d understand that the group that is responsible for reviewing the data and making recommendation on vaccines are not THIS incompetent. Listening to their “deliberation” was equivalent to Reddit conducting a vibe check

Regardless of ACIP’s decision this week (this is one component of the vaccines availability) AHIP has noted that health plans will continue to cover all recommended immunizations as of Sept 1 2025.
