In 2021 in England, public health decided that the way to get well was to get sicker, and that the way to get rid of disease was to catch it.

Joy surrounds us constantly- we need to adjust our perspective to see it. When we shift our viewpoint, like focusing a camera lens, we notice the beauty & connection in many moments. By cultivating awareness & seeking positivity, we discover that joy is abundant when we're open to experiencing it.

The producer of the infected #H5N1 retail milk says they've had bulk raw milk tested since April. That primary safety layer failed and now the secondary layer at retail failed. Maybe we need to ask serious questions about testing vs banning an unsafe food product?

Awful year for whooping cough. Important:
1) Vaccination during (every!) pregnancy helps drastically reduce risk of infant developing serious disease
2) Vaccination for infant on schedule
3) Vaccination of those around infant. Protects individuals from serious disease & reduces transmission risk

Pertussis in infants is terrifying but it’s not just the cough.
It’s the fact that babies literally STOP BREATHING.
~2/3 of infants hospitalized have apnea (life threatening pauses in breathing)
Vaccination starts at 2 mo so it’s important EVERYONE is immunized to protect our littlest ones.

Another tip for Bluesky newbies - no, it's not as fast-paced here, immediate engagement - here, YOU are the algorithm so you need to engage! Post, comment, re-post others, follow lots to start with - engagement is the key to traction and interaction here. Be proactive, not passive. Well worth it!
