Vaccines are safe and effective.
Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.
When you want information, ask your doctor.
It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

The idea that the combined MMR is dangerous but separately the vaccines are fine was created out of whole cloth by Andrew Wakefield, a disgraced former doctor who had a patent on a non-combined version of the MMR. We've known his research was bunk for almost 30 years.

We can afford $900 billion in tax cuts for billion-dollar corporations, but not healthcare.
We can afford to give the richest 1% tax breaks larger than most people’s paychecks, but not cancer research.
Funny how that works.

We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers.
The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

I don't think enough people realize that the Republican budget will make healthcare more expensive for millions of people—not just those on Medicaid.
If you get your healthcare through the Affordable Care Act, your bills will skyrocket.

RFK Jr’s ACIP pick, Martin Kulldorff, said one of the most disturbing images from the pandemic was a toddler crying about having to wear a mask.

1) USPS did not lose $3.3b. It provided a service that cost $3.3b. *The Pentagon* loses you money, however, every time it accidentally yeets a fighter jet off the deck of a carrier
NEW: The U.S. Postal Service posted a net loss of $3.3 billion in this fiscal year’s second quarter mainly due to “significant challenges out of our control,” including workers’ compensation costs, Luke Grossmann, USPS chief financial officer, said at the open session of the governing board meeting

Right wing idiots wanted this place run like a business instead of a service, and this is what it cost you: carriers pushing their bodies to the brink of collapse and sometimes beyond, so they don't get harassed by micromanagers who want you to account for every time you stop for 60 seconds

We have a 50% turnover rate inside 90 days. You can't refuse to pay people a living wage and then be surprised when they keep quitting, forcing you to rely on an older and older workforce to literally shoulder the labor shortfalls, and then again be surprised when people's bodies break down
