Mike Vrabel greets Drake Maye in the tunnel after the riveting win.
This is why NPRs funding was cut actually sharing the news. The official Parks Service release on mentions him as a Free Mason. No mention of the Confederacy, his anti-immigration, anti-Catholic, nor racist stances
"the white race, and that race alone, shall govern this country...." A Pike
This will not only lead to poorer outcomes overall, but increased ED visits, higher health care costs for ALL OF US, and is just inhumane and against the oaths we took.
Huge concern as a Physician at a Federally Qualified Health Center about today's HHS announcement stating the undocumented individuals would no longer be able to receive care at FQHCs and Head Start. We are required to and often the only source of care in the community for these individuals.
Pope Leo- if you think I’m too woke, you should talk to my boss.
I practice in Albany, NY a city without fluoridated water. I prescribe such supplements on a regular basis because dental care is lacking, especially for Medicaid patients. Now we're trying to remove all methods of prevention? Oral health is health care. This is public health.
REPORTER: “Any message to the United States?”
POPE LEO: “Many.”
Yup, our new Surgeon General.
Didn't complete residency and not licensed in any state to practice medicine. The irony is that she would never be able to treat anyone for the illnesses she's ultimately promoting.
I won’t share RFK Jr.’s lies about autism.
It’s disgusting and dangerous.
If he had a shred of decency, he would apologize and resign.
Autistic people contribute every day to our nation’s greatness.
To every kid with autism, I’m in this fight all the way for you.
Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines.
When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.
Hi, BlueSky. It's Hillary.
I've joined up here to help get the word out about an important election in Wisconsin tomorrow, and other ways to defend our democracy against those who think votes can be bought.
Vaccines. 💪🏻💪🏻
Elon Musk is flying in paid canvassers from Texas to knock on doors in Wisconsin for Brad Schimel.
Susan Crawford's supporters are knocking on doors in their own neighborhoods—like the terrific folks of the Teal Team on Madison's West Side.
Let's keep knocking till the polls close on April 1!
This is the goal going forward is it not?
Still not sure what my personal impact will be. Med school loans. Due to my age in the REPAYE then SAVE plan. I work at an FQHC in primary care (by choice). Without IDR I may not be able to afford to keep my job there. Plus now I'm 6 years into loan forgiveness that may just be gone.
The point of the article is that recommended and effective are not the same thing. Again, read the article. Just as parents giving their kids cod liver oil in Brooklyn to give them vitamin A is not an excuse for treatment. The only way to prevent this is vaccination. Kids die with or without vit A
You're misconstruing the recommendations. The who and the AAP recommends vitamin A supplementation and areas where there are vitamin A deficiencies as mentioned in the article. And even comment that high doses of vitamin A can be harmful. Again, the world in the US are not the same place
Because we have quacks like RFK Jr who are pushing Vitamin A supplementation as the alternative to getting vaccinated. Please know I said vaccines are medicine not vaccines or treatment. If you can't separate the two of those, then we can't have a conversation.
Did you even read the article?
And prevention is medicine. That's the point. I am a family doc the best medicine I can provide my patients is the MMR vaccine not Vitamin A
The only medicine for measles is the MMR vaccination.
A good read and sums up the evidence nicely against Vitamin A claims in a developed country like the US
My new piece for Slate is on vitamin A, measles, and why supplements are no replacement for vaccines (and may have little/no benefit for measles in most places these days)

I work at an FQHC and most of my career so far has been at health centers. These actions consequences and people are going to go without care. Especially in states that limit access to Medicaid and in rural areas, health centers are critical to health care. www.vpm.org/news/2025-02...
A very bad thing, on so many levels:
Data
Trust
Money
Individual health
Population level disease spread
Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.
He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.
Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.
Left the Twitter and FB when the algorithm pushed me things I did not want to see ahead of those items and people I came to interact with and personal and private lives collided. Thankful for @bsky.app for the restart here and the conversation. Happy to hear myself think again on Social media
