In ICE detention camps, “disease and illness are rampant, mold grows on the walls, and detained individuals are denied sufficient food, clean drinking water, proper medical care, and disability accommodations”.

ICE is a scourge of humanity, and also of public health.
Immigrants at ICE’s Adelanto detention center denounce lack of medical care and “inhumane” conditions
A federal lawsuit by immigrants detained at the ICE facility alleges they’re treated like “dogs in cages” and denied food and water.

Hello to my dear friends! I turned 57 recently, feeling blessed that I still have my kidneys! 50% of the patients with #IgAN reached end stage within 10 years. Masks work! Immune modulator works! I am a proof. @togetherwemask.bsky.social #MaskTogetherAmerica
Julie got her blood drawn for testing at a medical trial for an immune modulator.

I am hearing that RFK Jr.’s minions are going to go after HPV vaccines. I’ve got problems with these people and now you’re going to hear about them, first from a personal perspective and then from a professional one.

It all boils down to this: WE HAVE A SAFE VACCINE THAT PREVENTS CANCER.
