Measles is surging, and the guy in charge of public health is RFK Jr.—an anti-vaxxer. Meanwhile, Trump is gutting the CDC, FDA, and NIH.

Watch and share this. Know the symptoms. Because the people who should be protecting and informing us just got fired.

Scientists of the world, this is happening on our watch and we need to face it down. Evidence-based medicine weaponised for overtly ideological purposes. We do not need randomised trials of 'vaccine' versus 'no vaccine' when those vaccines have *already* been shown to be safe & effective.

RFK Jr. thinks that a clinical trial should be done for the entire childhood vaccine schedule. Here’s why that will never happen.

1. You can’t do a randomized trial of something that we already know is safe and effective. There would have to be a placebo group that didn’t get vaxxed. Unethical.

With all the uncertainty around public health in the U.S., now is a great time to wear a good mask like an N95.

They’re not just for Covid! A respirator can help you avoid flu, colds, measles, TB and more.

It’s a powerful act of solidarity and resistance. It’s a sign of community care.

There is evidence that Gardisil has largely eliminated cervical cancer in highly-vaccinated populations. Couldn't agree more with @drneilstone.bsky.social

Mike Pence just reposted an old article he wrote about the limitations on the powers of a president. For some reason. Here is a part of it.

Lucky for the tractor drivers they weren't objecting to the continued burning of fossil fuels leading to environmental degradation, natural disasters, weather extremes, food insecurity, economic disruption, conflict, and terrorism.

Still can't quite see how an ambulance would get through though.

Farage is not on your side.
We revealed Nigel Farage’s voting record to his constituents in Clacton.

They weren’t happy.

Reform are panicking about people pointing out that they want to replace the NHS. So please don't share this clip of Nigel Farage saying he'd rather healthcare was done through insurance companies.

Criminalizing masks makes public spaces less safe for disabled people. It pushes us further into the shadows

The powers that be don’t want us to be visible. They don’t want a reminder that Covid is still a threat

Wear a mask in solidarity. Tell the government that the vulnerable are not expendable

Disability is not a personal or moral failing. Everyone is one accident, infection or stroke of bad luck from becoming disabled.

When someone asks for help, give it freely and without strings. Don’t judge them or tell them to “try harder”.

One day it’ll be your turn.

DOGE is reportedly threatening NOAA with massive staff and budget cuts.

NOAA houses the National Weather Service and National Hurricane Center, which produce forecasts and warn people about storms.

This attack on public safety is ripped straight from the pages of Project 2025.

Members reportedly sought access to IT systems at agency that Project 2025 has called ‘harmful to US prosperity’

tuberculosis outbreaks in Kansas, North Carolina & Ohio.

CDC aren’t permitted to update the public & people are not being advised of the risk or told to mask.

There’s evidence that COVID causes immune system damage which could lead TB to reactivate.

A respirator prevents both Covid & TB. Mask up!
North Carolina tuberculosis cases are on the rise for the first time in decades

As a Consultant Clinical Psychologist who works with many people on benefits nationally, let me truth-check #Dispatches:

- Benefits are grossly inadequate
- The system is dehumanising
- Invisible disabilities are as valid as visible ones.

Stop the cruelty. Uplift #benefits.
