Remote work and telemedicine were two things that disabled people had wanted for years.
They’re the kind of accommodations that make a huge difference in our quality of life & allow us needed autonomy.
Why are folks cheering to end telework? How does it hurt them?
Devlin Moyer retweeted
When I saw Trump signed the executive order eliminating remote work for all federal employees and hearing the gleeful cheers of his supporters it just enraged me since it disregards the right to accommodations under the ADA.
This is just the beginning

You're not a serious public health program, practitioner, or health scientist if you don't understand this—or advocate for it.
We don’t tolerate wildfire smoke or smoking indoors because we know the devastating impact on health. Yet we continue to ignore the dangers of airborne pathogens that damage multiple organ systems—neurological, cardiorespiratory, endocrine, and immune systems included—allowing them to circulate freely in public spaces.
Waiting for the CDC to require air-cleaning technologies in healthcare facilities, schools, restaurants, and public spaces is like waiting for a chef to clean the kitchen after a food poisoning outbreak. It’s their job, but they’re too busy keeping costs low to take responsibility—and people are left paying the price with their health.
Clean air isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. Protecting public health shouldn’t depend on whether someone thinks it’s affordable or convenient.
It’s time to act, with or without mandates. Because protecting public health should never be optional.

"While vaccination decreases the severity of acute COVID infection, the sobering conclusion of our study is that vaccination prior to infection did not alter the subsequent neurologic manifestations of long COVID in our clinic population."

Ok now do that for every disabled person.

Hi, emergency doc here to debunk the claim that “when you take care of yourself and have good health there are no emergencies.” This is a reprehensible, heartless statement. I see kids who were shot, domestic violence, assaults, fatal car crashes, people trapped in a house fire…
“But when it’s an emergency, who do you call?”
When you take care of yourself and have good health there are no emergencies. And if I need help I see an ND, Osteopath, Chiropractor, Acupuncturist, Chinese medicine doctor, or Functional Medicine doctor before an allopathic one. Unfortunately allopathic medicine became about expensive tests and drugs — not health. I walked out of the office of a primary care doctor of 20 years in NY (would go for annual bloodtests only) when he scoffed at me for refusing various vaccines he wanted to push on me!??? I could feel his frustration but I am not his pawn to meet his quota. Shocked it came down to that?!!
I am 65, have never taken pharmaceuticals and don’t have any diseases. I prefer to use natural herbs, homeopathy and nutrition to guide my health. Its time to realize that alopathic care is dying out. No one wants expensive drug cocktails anymore or doctors that aren’t experts in health. Move over to Functional Medicine or stop complaining. Every business has to pivot at some point. This is your pivot.

New modeling study finds that if everyone in the United Kingdom had worn N95 or FFP2 masks from the start of the pandemic, the rate of COVID-19 transmission would have been 9 times lower.
ALT What if everyone had masked up? Analysis of app data has an answer Modelling study based on almost 250,000 positive COVID-19 tests in the United Kingdom shows that universal masking could have cut transmission markedly.

next on BU’s 5 year plan: a university without students
In the wake of a lengthy graduate worker strike, Boston University said Tuesday it will not accept any new PhD students in a dozen humanities and social sciences programs, including English, history, and philosophy, in the coming academic year. trib.al/a5HiG7s

It's disturbing seeing some medical professionals normalize RFK Jr by saying "we have to meet him halfway."
NOPE.
RFK Jr is a charlatan who has deliberately spread disinformation that has killed people.
Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.

Scenarios in which “raw milk is basically a reasonable choice”:
You want something to drink while playing Russian Roulette.
You actually really enjoy vomiting & having bloody diarrhea.
You have accidentally time traveled to the 1800s and there’s literally no alternative.

As a scientist who is the director of science communication for the medical center of a major university, my advice is:
Please don't rely on an economist who has spread misinformation about COVID to advise you about how to effectively message on public health.
