the discourses on here about what public health workers should or should not do is pretty disconnected from the evidence base, expert consensus, and broader reality of that work. and most current PH workers have been driven off social media due to harassment, censorship, or just being way too busy

Holy shit - this would be very, very bad:
"The databases, called “Numident” and the “Master Death File,” include records for more than 500 million living and dead Americans, including Social Security numbers, places and dates of birth, citizenship, race and ethnicity, and parents’ names."

Dozens killed as Israeli special forces raid Lebanese village in search of 40-year-old remains Overnight, one Israeli operation saw at least 41 people killed and 40 injured, according to the Lebanese health ministry.

Pretty serious allegation here. "Witnesses told the BBC that the Israeli soldiers had arrived disguised in Lebanese military fatigues and used ambulances with signs of Hezbollah's Islamic Health Organization."

The Iranian women’s soccer team is in danger, and many are asking Australia to give them shelter to save them from detention and potential execution in Iran for the crime of not singing the national anthem before one of their matches. What a sequence of words to have to write.

Update:
• Israel bombed oil refineries, causing black rain that burns skin & lungs to cover Iran’s capital
• Trump & Israel bombed fresh water supplies in Iran
• Trump justified this by calling Iranians “among the most evil people on earth”
• Israel massacred 400 in Lebanon, including 83 children

When my kids were brand new, 14 years ago, the other moms I found myself online with were about 50% antivax. 3 moms in that group created a community to encourage vaccination with facts and compassion, and I watched a dozen women or more change their minds and get their kids on a catch-up schedule.

youraislopbores.me is a fun little idea where you put in a "prompt" and another user "steals ai's job" and draws or writes an answer. but i want to draw some stuff and there aren't enough requests rn so check it out and i might be your pretend AI

This is *nothing* dignified about wearing a cheap baseball cap that promotes yourself to the otherwise solemn ceremony to receive the bodies of the troops you had killed to distract from your bad economy and rampant pedophilia.

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:

Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down

Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace

Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs

Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

Where do I find a pediatrician that doesn't push vaccines?

matt.keller.33:
Look at your states medical boards. Find the pediatrician associated with the most childhood deaths.
That's your doctor.

Trump is adding anti-trans provisions to SAVE America Act Trump appears to be using culture-war issues, which are popular among Republican voters, to increase the pressure on Republican lawmakers to back the bill.

🚨BREAKING: The White House confirmed Friday that President Donald Trump is pressing Congress to add new provisions targeting transgender people to the SAVE America Act — a sweeping anti-voting bill that could disenfranchise millions. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

You get absolutely nowhere if you just say "everyone who distrusts vaccines are just evil people." If you are incapable of seeing this, then I dont know what to say. Blame actual anti-vaxxers like RFK Jr, wellness influencers making billions etc, and social media companies.

Everybody’s got their reasons for despising Markwayne Mullin and mine is him screaming at the dignified and brilliant former CDC Director Susan Monarez at a hearing.

He lied about a nonexistent recording and tried to bully her into submission.

She was a locus of zen. He lost his damned mind.
