Canada has already lost its measles elimination status.
The US is on track to lose its status in January.
Just like with COVID, it’s the kids who are going to pay the biggest price.
They have no agency. They can’t decide to get vaccinated, their parents must do the right thing.

Folks, Israel is not letting aid in which means Palestinians continue to have to buy food on the black market from Israel sponsored gangs. If you can donate a little money to the fundraisers we're posting, you can keep someone alive. Palestinians wouldn't beg if they didn't have to.
UNRWA has enough food outside #Gaza to supply people there for 3 months, amid desperate need. Our teams stand ready to deliver it.
But despite the #ceasefire, the Israeli Authorities’ block on UNRWA bringing any supplies into Gaza still continues.
Let us get aid into Gaza at the full scale needed.

If you use AI assets or AI to fundraise then it shows me whatever you’re doing is just not serious and you don’t care enough to even put yourself into ir
If you put up a Kickstarter, or any other type of public funding campaign, and the promotional video was all done in AI, it doesn't give the buyers faith in your brand.
At least do a regular voiceover. Or even have someone from your team on camera, or something.

It is rational to fear what covid does to the body.
And this ableist machismo, separating "fear" and rational thinking, isn't helpful here. They aren't dichotomous.
It is rational to mask in order to avoid covid, long covid, spreading covid, and causing others to have long covid.

I continue to be angry that we all got blamed for causing coral bleaching by using sunscreen, based on a single paper that hasn't been repeatable, but the actual cause of coral bleaching keeps getting ignored by the general public even as the papers proving it keep stacking up.
Warming waters cause corals to “bleach” when these organisms expel symbiotic algae that provide nutrients, oxygen & vibrant colors.
The latest global bleaching event - researchers estimate >84% of the planet's coral ecosystems have been affected since Jan 2023 - has made it clear the crisis is now.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

Black people actually did call all of this, so did Indigenous people. White people just thought we were exaggerating because you were fine with the violence toward communities that you thought wouldn't include you. But the thru line from eugenics, bleach, and Ivermectin to here was incredibly clear
This. This administration is even worse than any of us thought possible. Who had destroy NIH, CDC, USAID, EPA, scientific research all at the same time on their bingo card?
My thesis is that no matter how doomer you were in Nov. 2024, we're probably past your worst-case scenario for the first 9 months of this administration.
