What's happening at the CDC should frighten every American Regardless of whether you are MAGA, MAHA, neither, or don't give a damn about labels or politics. It's unclear whether the CDC director—confirmed just weeks ago—has been fired or not. Absolute shitshow. And incredible career professionals resigned tonight, sounding a massive alarm. This is pure chaos that leaves the country unprepared. Imagine cases of Ebola in the U.S. right now? We would be an absolute mess. It's easy to tune this all out, to celebrate what you might see as 'cleaning house', or just not care what's happening. But I promise you, when confronted with the next serious health threat, we will quickly see everything we've lost. We will regret this. I promise, we will regret this.

People really love to rewrite history. Schools began phased return June 2020, with all back by Sept. ‘Eat Out to Help Out’ was Aug 2020, people were literally encouraged into restaurants. Nightclubs reopened July 19th 2021. Hardly the endless, oppressive lockdown cited here.

@JamesThrot Could it be psychological? For three years we were forced to stay at home, wear masks, not interact with others, told we might die, vaccinated numerous times. The social aspect would affect children greatly, who need interaction more than adults.

I told Beth I felt sort of pre-dead: I’d given up all my goals for life, every purpose I’d organized myself around, every expectation that used to ground me. And yet I was still alive. So what was left, with all of that gone? What is it to live, pre-dead? jrehmeyer.substack.com/p/holding-what…

“Living with #MECFS is like holding what has no meaning.” @julierehmeyer’s new piece about illness and grief for her friend Beth Mazur is searing and unforgettable. I’m better today, but when I was sickest, this paragraph was my life:

RIP Paul Durcan. This was the first poem I read by him, and it absolutely broke me.

I want everyone to understand the impossible scale of Israel’s slaughter. Every single family killed should be a story in its own right, should be multiple articles and TV news reports. Consider how many hours, months, years it would take to give each family in Gaza the news coverage they deserve. My god.

This is Khalil Al-Tatari, a nursing graduate. When life grew difficult, he came to work with us at @EuroMedHR for a time, helping in support services. Last night, Israel killed him along with his children, his wife, his mother, & his siblings, though they had committed no crime.

The science has not failed. What’s failed is the political will to protect. The understanding that vaccines are not a luxury, they’re infrastructure. That trust is not optional, it’s strategic. That public health is not a cost, it’s a national security asset. 13/

Vaccination rates among kindergartners are collapsing in entire states. Some schools have <70% MMR coverage. The threshold for herd immunity? 95%. We’re not slipping. We’ve already fallen off the cliff. 12/

can someone inform @RachelReevesMP that disabled adults aren’t children who want pocket money for frivolous things, but are in fact adults who need to pay rent/buy food/access healthcare? infantilising us at the same time you cut support to basic human rights isn’t a great look
Natasha Clark@NatashaC

Chancellor tells @IainDale she pays her kids between five and ten pounds a week each And backs Darren Jones who compared cutting benefits to slashing pocket money for kids Rachel Reeves: "If you have a 16 yr old and say, I won't give you so much pocket money, I want you to go out to work. And the OBR comes and does an impact assessment and says you're going to be worse off... you will be worse off if you don't get a Saturday job, but if they do they will be better off. There are a lot of people who have a disability who are desperate to work." @LBC

@Naomi_D_Harvey @IrishEcocritic I got accosted by the man next to me at a concert recently, demanding to know why I was masked. “Are you sick?” “No, immunocompromised.” And treated him to an expressionless gaze. (If you’re that concerned about getting sick at a concert, guess what your best option is, champ 🙄)

While food shopping, I ran into someone I hadn't seen in a couple of years. She mumbled something about me covering my face, wouldn't look at me, seemed hugely uncomfortable, and literally ran out of the shop saying she forgot her money at home. I had been happy to see her. 🤷‍♀️

Our NIH grant to discover coronavirus antiviral meds was terminated today. With this grant, we had developed a better SARSCoV2 inhibitor than Paxlovid, and we recently discovered an improved drug that looks better than Pfizer's own second-generation inhibitor.
