In other words, a supermajority of two thirds do not say Covid-19 response was overblown.

Last night we went Christmas shopping at a Night Market in Culver City. They had great, unique gifts (including a young woman with a typewriter who wrote custom poems for $10). It felt so good spending our money on local artists who are just happy for the business and don’t want to control the world

Masks in hospitals save lives.

When masking is dropped - they saw a 25% jump in hospital acquired viral infections.

When reinstated? A 33% decrease.

It’s almost as though masking should be mandatory and permanent in hospital settings.

This feeding into a mindset of ‘agree to disagree’ and outright dismissal/invalidation of fear and anger of those who are likely to be most affected in the months and years to come is what may be grinding me down the most atm. I’m trying, but it’s treading emotional and mental water atm. Love y’all.

When Obama nominated Tom Daschle -- a congressional leader with three decades of experience working on federal health care policies -- to be HHS secretary, the senator had to withdraw because a donor provided him with a car.

If only he'd beheaded a whale!

The press treated Michelle Obama pushing vegetables as more politically fraught than RFK Jr anti-vaxxing up the joint.

A lot of what NIH does is fund basic research into public health that is not profitable for pharmaceutical companies to do. This is what you get with someone who does not believe in research.
