Trump says RFK Jr will “investigate” the link between vaccines and autism as “somebody needs to find out.”

We’ve ALREADY FOUND OUT
- >600,000 kids in Denmark
- >90,000 in the US
- >1.2m kids worldwide

NO LINK.

How many more of these does he want us to do?

In a similar vein - St John Ambulance are a charity in the UK who have made a CPR bra to highlight the fact that women are less likely to receive bystander CPR than men! The bra has a graphic on where to put your hands. They also did a baby-grow with CPR instructions.

Please read our @thetimes.com letter about what dying is typically like 🙏

It would be so easy to fear from the examples cited in the assisted dying debate that horrific death is the norm.

It isn't - really. Between us we have >300 yrs of combined experience treating dying people.

The lowest rate is 3%. That’s far from awesome.
Unless you are measles, then it’s totally awesome.
From @doritreiss.bsky.social :

9% of incoming kindergartners in AZ have vaccine exemptions - ranging from 3% to 22% (!!) depending on the county.

Most of them are non-medical-exemptions. 😕

Thanks @lbc.co.uk for having me on to discuss AD.

Both Keir Starmer & Wes Streeting know full well how grossly underfunded UK palliative care is - & they have the power to change that.

But will they?

Or will they turn their backs on dying people?

My direct appeal to @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social
& Keir_Starmer in the light of yesterday's vote on AD.

If they sincerely care about dying people, surely now they will publicly & urgently commit to properly funding our threadbare, neglected palliative care?

An appeal to anyone who (understandably) recoils in horror from talk of dying patients vomiting their faeces.

This is an uncommon symptom but one which we have a wide range of options to manage - drugs, procedures, surgeries. Usually it is treatable. It can be addressed with good palliative care.

🚨 Tonight, ITV, 8.30pm 🚨

Don't miss @danielhewittitv.bsky.social's investigation into the underfunding crisis in UK palliative care. With MPs debating assisted dying, this just couldn't be more important.

Thank you @itvx.bsky.social for inviting me to contribute.

It’s the eve of the vote on assisted dying.

Everyone is united on one thing - that however MPs vote, UK palliative care is desperately underfunded.

It’s in your gift to change this, @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social

You could pledge meaningful action - funding - now.

The question is, WILL you?

Elon Musk just called the COVID-19 pandemic that killed at least 1.4 million Americans a “scamdemic.”

My dad died during the pandemic; we weren't able to visit him in the hospital because of it. Every aspect of that horrible tragedy was real. And exacerbated by Musk’s co-POTUS.
