“Women were nonpersons in U.S. law for a lot longer than they have been persons.”

If we go on “tradition” a whole lot of women who are anti-abortion better also prepare to be Serena Joy.

The pandemic has disproportionately affected minoritized and economically disenfranchised groups. Here to weigh in is a concierge physician who only accepts cash payments from wealthy, predominantly white clientele.

1/4: In case it's helpful I'm posting some of the articles supporting why I think the third mRNA immunization is essential for being considered 'fully vaccinated'. I'm asked after that will annual or regular boosters be required? Hard to say, but I think no: Hoping '3 and done'

6 months past dose 2? Get your boosters, all y'all. And get your flu shot too while you're at it. You won't regret it with what's coming at us in the US this winter.

We got our 2 kids vaccinated today! Less than 24 hours after approval! Yay! We were lucky to find a small pharmacy taking walk-ins all day & the privilege to be able to drop everything & go right that moment. Our 5-week countdown is now on.

Throughout the pandemic, we've gotten used to the idea that most #COVID cases are 'mild.' The CDC says mild cases account for 80% of symptomatic infections.

Some people hear this and think it's not worth worrying about. Are they right?

A thread on what 'mild' really means. (1)

I’m seeing SO MANY experts say eradication is impossible, and we have to shift to a long-term strategy of coexisting with Covid, but NONE OF THEM MENTION WE DID THIS TO OURSELVES. THIS IS A MASSIVE FAILURE AND NOT ACTUALLY GOOD.

Some observations from the ER over the last few weeks in a low vaccination rural part of Michigan where COVID cases are again on the rise. 1/12

COVID Update: There are few more important or sensitive topics than kids & their health.

They are being made pawns in a dangerous game. We need to be put a stop to it. 1/

Got long COVID as a teenager. Comic thread: (1/3)

In the U.S. we have no firm idea how many kids have already been infected with COVID. We have no idea if hospitalizations in south are tip of a huge iceberg of dire infection - or a sign that COVID has become more pathogenic in children. The CDC should gather this data. It isn’t.

I became an ICU nurse at the end of July in 2020, during one of the first peaks of covid when it was all still so new. I learned how to be a nurse behind a respirator and a yellow gown, amidst the constant beeping and hissing of ventilators that couldn't support failing lungs.

2/2 Here is a write-up of other experiences I have had with the police. Please read, share, perhaps folks will learn, grow and things will be better. Written from the heart. An emotional undertaking.
