#NeuroCovid is the most horrific thing I've ever seen in the microscope. And I have been working with brains with Alzheimer's disease for many years. It changed my life, my career, everything. I can't unsee it and can't pretend it doesn't exist.

So sorry. I can’t believe we are having the polio discussion again. The vaccine works. Stop the madness.

I had polio when i was 9. I was taken from my parents & placed in a Hospital for contageous diseases- the polio ward. I would see them once a week - thru the glass window at the end of my ward. I could not walk. It was terrifying. Kids died. Iron lungs were awful. Dont let RFK Jr ban the vaccine

My mother survived polio as a teenager. Today she suffers from post polio issues at age 89. We must stop Felon’s administration from allowing it to return.

Dr. Peter Hotez is fighting false assertions that vaccines cause autism & the implausibility of vaccines causing autism based on studies showing how the neurodevelopmental process of autism occur before birth. We NEED believers in SCIENCE as head of HHS!

Thank you, Dr. Hotez for everything you do!

Of course, I’m worried. Deeply sick knowing all that will be lost, all that it will take to repair what they do to our nation. But somewhere inside me there is a tiny drop of hope that @reppressley.bsky.social and @katieporteroc.bsky.social can save us.

Climate change has caused snowfall in Europe to decline 34% since 1920. Even some high altitude areas are seeing more rain than snow.

This not only affects winter resorts and tourism, but also increases the risk of erosion and flooding.

Kevin would be alive today if he’d had the Gardasil vaccine as a pre-teen. Both our kids are vaccinated-our son was off-label as it wasn’t yet approved for boys and we knew it was effective. Vaccines work. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
A little louder for the folks in the back:

The development of vaccines is likely the greatest achievement of mankind.

It is hard to recall a period where the legacy media did more to undermine itself than the month since the election. A lack of courage and false neutrality broke trust. Meanwhile, independent pro-democracy outlets like Democracy Docket are seeing rapid growth. www.democracydocket.com/me-subscribe...

A reminder why fascism & autocracy must never be allowed to germinate. The world is entering a phase where many countries are turning to demagogues because they want simple answers to complicated problems, even whilst ignoring the voices that are warning about leaders like Putin, Orban & Trump
The scenes from Sednaya prison in Syria are shocking; people wandering into the light after decades in dark detention & torture.

100 years ago in this country we had polio, smallpox, measles, romantic fever, chicken pox, whooping cough, & so many diseases that we now have routine vaccines for. Including covid & flu shots! Yet Republican anti-vaxxers like RFK would deny the US our access to vital vaccines even for children.🤦‍♀️

My son too. I'm now 48, when I was early 20s, I had 3 biopsies, a Leep and part of my cervix removed. Had to be sown shut with my son to be able to carry. HPV is no joke. I was borderline cancer at 22 years old
