97% of extremist-related murders in the U.S. in 2024 were linked to right-wing extremists. It’s not a political movement anymore - it’s a hobby for failed men with too much testosterone and not enough brain cells.

Apparently Gweneth Paltrow is back to touting raw milk.
Here are some common infectious diseases you can get from raw milk: Salmonella, Campylobacter, E. coli, Listeria, tuberculosis, brucellosis, and avian flu. Among others.

There is really only one thing standing between your community and outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases, and that thing is childhood vaccine requirements for school entry. The Texas outbreak clearly shows what happens when exemptions to vaccine requirements are handed out like candy.

In 3 days, the number of measles cases in a highly unvaccinated area of Texas has doubled. There are now 48 cases, all of whom are unvaccinated, and 13 of whom have been hospitalized so far, for a hospitalization rate of 27%. This is huge figure in epidemiology. This outbreak will keep spreading.

Phoenix Children's Hospital????
Getting word that a few hospitals are offering trans care again after the EO was blocked by a federal judge.
Please send the decision to your hospital, and PLEASE send me a message if your hospital has resumed care, as I’m doing a story on this.

Incredible news!
The Trump administration's under 19 trans care ban has been BLOCKED in federal court via a bench temporary restraining order.
The administration CANNOT withhold funds from hospitals providing trans youth care.

This is heartbreaking and preventable
Pertussis is a particularly bad way to go if you are a baby.
You cannot control other people's poor behavior but you can get tdap in pregnancy and vaccinate your baby starting at 6-8 weeks.

We must remember is that childhood deaths and disability have a disproportionate effect on years of healthy life lost. It's why childhood immunizations against infectious threats are so important, and why they are one of the greatest scientific advances in history.
