Hannah Einbinder is not concerned about being blacklisted by Hollywood when it comes to supporting Palestine. She champions Melissa Barrera, Susan Sarandon and other actors speaking out: "I think what they know is what I know, which is that the cost of not speaking is higher, you know? There is a greater toll in not speaking and you just gotta have your priorities straight. I am under no impression that my one small career could ever measure up in comparison to even one human life. @KeringGroup

my kitten started choking again today (y’all who follow me know this mf STAY CHOKING😭) & thank god i know the cat heimlich because it’s one of the scariest things when your pet starts to choke. so here’s my bi-monthly “you should learn the cat heimlich if you have cats” tweet

Hey babe wake up Past hantavirus outbreaks did not require “prolonged close contact” “One person passed it to another person at a birthday party simply by passing by and saying hello.”

Suddenly everyone is a #hantavirus expert. Here is the statement of the actual experts. Note, asymptomatic transmission cannot be excluded. At least 1 study shows viremia in an asymptomatic. H/T @NjbBari3

Earlier today I spoke with the doctor on the ship and he confirmed something. CDC messaging continues to say "prolonged, close contact" but that contradicts: 1) what's in the literature, and 2) what's happening on this ship. --> the doc told me a few who got infected/died DID have direct contact w/ very sick patient while treating them, but 3 who tested positive did NOT have direct physical or close contact - only shared time in a few spaces on the ship where people congregate (dining, lecture area)

"i can't do another pandemic": the world's refusal to acknowledge material reality

I told @abcnews that rats & rodents are literally chewing through tents in Gaza. Children are too scared to sleep for fear of being bitten. Disease is spreading. This is a direct result of the blockade & the conditioning rehabilitation of infrastructure on political outcomes.

This one goes out to my clean air masking folks watching the internet implode at this hypothetical.

New: Babies who don’t get the vitamin K shot are 81 times more likely to develop severe bleeding. In many cases, oxygen can’t reach their brains and blood pools around their skulls. Yet driven by misinformation, more parents are refusing the injection. propub.li/42PRfyl

"On arrival, asymptomatic passengers are due to be repatriated to their home countries, despite possibly being infected & in the incubation period." Serious question: Is everyone insane now.

Right, but we know from the 2018 superspreading events in Argentina that Andes Virus spreads H2H likely via the aerosol route with an R0 of 2.12, same as Wuhan COVID strain. If you don't institute strict airborne precautions now, which you currently aren't, there is a high risk of losing control of this one as well.

In this picture (credited to WHO) of one person with Hantavirus in protective clothing being taken into an ambulance, you have to wonder who is directing PPE usage. It is so inconsistent. One worker appears to be wearing a surgical mask with a face visor. No lessons learned. 1/🧵

This is powerful! Mary Hill, a 72 year-old Amazon warehouse worker, has a message for Jeff Bezos and she projected it onto his $120 million penthouse in New York City.

I'm reluctantly posting on X again because the world needs to read this. My daughter Zoe Rogers gave her own closing speech at the Filton trial, as did 4 other defendants, while their barristers looked on. This is what she said 🧵 1/

Always the first phrase of "C"-related articles-even if it is eating brains, destroying hearts, damaging immune systems...: "Most of us who get Covid recover within a few weeks"

Area Man Saddened To Learn He Was Not One Of The “Most People” In “Most People Won’t Be Disabled By It”

BREAKING: WHO says hantavirus outbreak on cruise ship likely involves human-to-human transmission

I rarely laugh out loud, but this had me laughing so hard.😂😅😂😅

Vultures eat anthrax, botulism, rabies, and cholera for breakfast. Their stomach acid is among the most corrosive in the animal kingdom, with a pH around 1, low enough to dissolve the bones, hide, and pathogens of dead animals that would kill almost anything else. A vulture eating a diseased carcass isn't a vector for disease, it's a terminus. The disease chain ends in the vulture's gut, and that's pretty hardcore. When vulture populations crashed in India in the 1990s, rotting livestock carcasses sat where vultures used to clean them. Feral dogs and rats took over the cleanup, both of which actually do spread rabies. Researchers later linked the vulture collapse to roughly 500,000 deaths in India over the following decade. The same collapse is now underway in sub-Saharan Africa. Six of eleven African vulture species are threatened with extinction, primarily from poisoned poaching baits. The animals nobody finds cute are doing more public health work than most of the species we actively protect.

The nurse practitioner flipped through my health history with practiced boredom as I sat in the OBGYN exam room this morning. Then she paused. “Plavix,” she said, her voice flat. “Why are you on that?” I told her the truth. “I had a heart procedure in February. They said I have to stay on blood thinners for 6 months.” She looked up. Really looked. A woman my age, healthy enough on paper, sitting vulnerable in the stirrups of routine care. Her eyebrows lifted slowly. “What happened to your heart?” I started the story the way I always do. “Since 2020, when I was both pregnant and had Covid, it worsened a congenital PFO and inflamed my heart and then…” She cut me off mid sentence, leaning forward, eyes bright and hungry. “Was this after you took the Covid vaccine?” I sat there stunned, watching her morph into something I had seen too many times now. No curiosity nor concern for my wellbeing. Her expression turned colder, almost mechanical. Rehearsed. As if the words were not her own but lines uploaded from an external source, into a synchronized command that had overwritten her natural thoughts. Her eyes gleamed with a programmed certainty that made my stomach turn. I reminded her, voice shaking with anger, that in 2020 there was no vaccine yet. None. I had been pregnant and fighting Covid when the world was still burning without a shot in sight. She blinked once. Her eyes reset to that flat, professional dullness, and she moved on to the next question as if I had never spoken. As if my heart damage had vanished the moment the word “vaccine” left her lips. That was when the real horror settled in. This lie lives and breathes among us all, waiting in every waiting room, hiding behind every clipboard, and wearing every white coat in every specialty. It is not just the internet or late night comment sections where strangers swear the virus was harmless and the shot was the monster. They have all swallowed the same story. The widespread devastation we see now, none of it belongs to the virus that tore through us in 2020. All of it belongs to the needle. The narrative is so complete, airtight, and so perfectly woven that even the people sworn to follow evidence have rewritten history inside their own minds. They look at me, a living witness to what Covid did to a pregnant body, and their eyes glaze over with the same hollow certainty: Covid is innocent. The shot is guilty. I left the clinic this morning with my prescription in hand and a chill that has not left my bones. The scariest part is not the damage inside my chest. It is the damage inside theirs. The certainty that the truth died in 2020 and something else replaced it. Something that smiles across the exam table, asks the same loaded question, and erases you the moment you speak the wrong answer. We are not just patients anymore. We are apparitions drifting through a medical system that has decided our suffering belongs to a different monster entirely. And every time another doctor looks at me with those wide, certain eyes, I realize the horror is not over. It is only just beginning.
