Thatβs interesting, thanks for sharing. I think whatβs being argued for is ostracizing the βdismissives.β But maybe not to easy to separate them out?
Disinfo is such a thorny problem in that ill informed people are preyed upon by genuinely bad actors.
To quote @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social, is it time to βbring back shameβ?
Public health colleagues: discuss.
This goes against my instincts but itβs true that being nice isnβt working.

Medical transition for trans kids is now banned for new referrals on the NHS. Trans kids in the UK can still go private or DIY (for now).
This means the new clinics that replaced GIDS are close to useless at best, conversion therapy at worst. 1/5

A banner featuring a logo on the side with a painted anemone poppy and the handwriting-style text that says "Heal Minds Gaza" in a green circle. Next to it reads: "Heal Minds Gaza is a new initiative that will support childrenβs healing through therapeutic activities for self-esteem, social skills, and community-building. Support the first project for children who were detained in occupation prisons." The text is written on notebook paper cut in a circle. The banner is decorated with crayon sketches of hearts, stars, and squiggles in different colors.
ICYMI, this one's for the kids.
80+ kids have returned to Gaza from occupation prisons, where they experienced unimaginable psychological violence. We're trying to deliver 6 days of mental health workshops to support them.

Look at the picture.
Seriously, what an unfunny joke.
Devastating.
"Over one billion people have experienced childhood sexual assault, and 600 million women and girls have experienced physical or sexual violence. No other issue affecting a billion people receives less attention in health priorities and agendas."
Good on multiple levels
Fascinating study and thread.
The interventions that brought down #stunting rates globally were systemic and extended well outside the boundaries of the health system.

Notice that no one ever asks the child what they want.
Grateful to pediatricians for speaking up and for standing up for the rights of children
