'No one could have predicted this.'

People predicted this for three years.

Bird flu in dairy cows. Threat to public 'very low.' Of course. But how much do we trust corporate media that spent nearly 25 percent *less* time talking about climate change when it became *the* issue for humans?

My other project is taking longer than I thought but it's finally getting off the ground. I'll be back soon. In the meantime, it's been kind of nice to just get lost in making stuff. It's the closest thing I've had to a break in...four years.

I'll have a new article up soon. Been wrapped up in a project plus storm/childcare stuff. Water heater back on but now we have some kind of gas leak.

My 10-year old has spent half of his life in a pandemic. He automatically puts on his N95 when we go in public. I don’t even have to ask. He is usually the only kid who masks at the tutoring place & it doesn’t faze him. Our kids’ futures depend on our behavior. We can teach them…

On the invitation of Senator Bernie Sanders and Bill Cassidy, M.D. , I will be testifying before the U.S. Senate H.E.L.P Committee Hearing on #LongCovid

Measles is serious & highly contagious

It can cause severe complications including death

Most worryingly, there’s NO TREATMENT!

We’re in the middle of the biggest outbreak of measles the UK has seen for decades

PLEASE vaccinate your children & protect them

You know what they're going to do next, right? They're going to water down all the standardized tests so that we stop seeing record drops in scores that reflect massive Covid brain damage. They'll do it for expedience, not equality. It won't be responsible.

Sometimes I need motivation and inspiration too, and here's where I got mine today:

'They're Taking Away Your Right To Be Healthy.' okdoomer.io/were-in-the-wo…

Public health lies in a smoldering heap of rubble, and all our leaders can do is argue about which country to arm to produce more rubble thousands of miles away.

I feel like kids have a right to an education *without* regular infections with a vascular pathogen

US healthcare is so broken. It's the second-biggest COVID wave so far, and patients have to call individual hospitals to beg them to reinstate masks.

Meanwhile, the Spanish government simply overruled right-wing anti-maskers and made masks required in all hospitals nationwide.
