A vote to cut Medicaid by $880 billion is basically a vote in favor of mass death.

There is a bird flu vaccine for humans. A lot of countries are already giving it out to people who work on farms.

Why aren’t we vaccinating birds against bird flu?
It’s not as complicated as it seems, but there’s one key hurdle.

This is very sad and worrisome to see, especially as a LC patient, patient researcher and advocate. We know Long Covid predates the introduction of the Covid vaccine and SARS survivors were also sick for years. There was no vaccine against SARS CoV (SARS)

For decades the dominant Democratic response to electoral setbacks has been "The voters are bad." We did nothing wrong, but look at these swine we have to appeal to!
You can't ask the politics judge for a new electorate. You either figure out how to appeal to the one you have or you disappear.

strongly agreed with Cara. some of y'all talk like you have hidden a spare population of unproblematic, unpropagandized people to build a mass movement out of under your couch cushions or something.
It reminds me of my first labor organizing job when my trainer said "The thing that's different about labor is that you just have to organize who's here" and to some extent, the older I get, the more I realize that's true everywhere.

Most people in the US have no idea about the attacks on federally funded science or our government institutions. Many (or most!) of your family, coworkers, neighbors, and friends have no idea. My own MAGA dad thinks DOGE is just identifying waste, and that nothing has been cut. We have to tell them.

Measles requires 95% vaccination rates for herd immunity.
It has a 16.2% case fatality rate for unvaccinated children under 5 years and 24% for children under 9 months (who are unable to be vaccinated).
30% of the survivors experience severe complications like blindness, deafness, or encephalitis.

These are the vaccination rates of kindergartners by state. It takes 95% coverage of MMR vaccine to prevent measles outbreaks & most states are not achieving it. I fear that under the new administration rates will drop even further and we will start to see preventable illness, disability, and death

Yes, people dislike wearing face masks but reality is that with all the viruses circulating (COVID, bird flu, regular flu, RSV) you can choose to be a little uncomfortable wearing a mask in public -or- you can choose to be sick constantly. That's what our options are really coming down to.
CDC said that it now classified the #flu season as high severity for all age-groups for the first time since the 2017-18 season.
Over the past 2 weeks, flu deaths have outpaced fatalities from #COVID and now make up 2.6% of all deaths for the most recent week, compared to 1.5% for COVID.
