Cops are arresting people for wearing masks

They're demanding people remove their masks

Disabled people told you this would happen. We're still telling you

Masks and respirators are PPE that should never be criminalized. Medical exemptions don't work

Mask up in solidarity before it's too late

β€˜Ticking timebomb’: sea acidity has reached critical levels, threatening entire ecosystems – study Ocean acidification has already crossed a crucial threshold for planetary health, scientists say in unexpected finding

Your 'moment of doom' for June 8, 2025 ~ Climate clichΓ© alert!

"The deeper in the ocean they looked, the worse the findings were, the scientists said. At 200 metres below the surface, 60% of global waters had breached the 'safe' limit for acidification."

β€˜Long COVID is common, affecting up to 10% to 20% of children with a history of COVID-19. With almost 6 million US children potentially affected, this is higher than the number of children with asthma, the most common chronic health problem in children.’

The whole point of health prevention is to stay healthy if you are healthy… and preserve health even if things are not so great.

So to say healthy people don’t need xyz because they are healthy… when it does confer protection… is πŸ™ƒ.

Much of Europe will probably see a summer wave starting soon, with both XFG and NB.1.8.1 growing at similar rates, and the combination is already probably in the 30% prevalence range.

Exclusive | HHS to Stop Recommending Routine Covid Shots for Children, Pregnant Women CDC currently recommends that everyone six months and older receive the vaccines

This is a huge massive mistake. Almost two years ago I rounded up all the data we have - and we have A LOT - on why COVID-19 vaccination during pregnancy protects both the parent and the child.

Quick takes: H5N1 death in Mexico; Kenya cholera outbreak; H5N1 virus in cows, poultry, cats A 3-year-old girl from Mexico recently hospitalized with H5N1 avian flu has died from her infection.

It is unknown how the 3-year-old girl from Mexico who died yesterday from H5N1 was infected. This was also the case with the 13-year-old girl who suffered very severe disease from the virus in Canada in late 2024. Unknown routes of exposure are always concerning.

Wild Coast Pet Foods announced today they potentially have one positive lot of food contaminated with H5N1

Wild Coast Pet Foods announced today they potentially have one positive lot of food contaminated with H5N1

DO NOT FEED YOUR PETS RAW FOOD.

A batch from Wild Coast Pet Foods came as "non-negative" for #H5N1, which means it is probably positive, but it needs to be confirmed at the CDC as well.

Cats are dying, and the virus keeps mutating. Not worth the risk. Once again, do not feed your pets raw food.

We've reached 1.5Β°C global warming.
With current policies, we're heading for a catastrophic 2.7Β°C warming.
A new review paper in Science shows: this would change the Arctic 'beyond recognition', with knock-on effects (like rising seas) around the world. 🌊

Gisele Pelicot, Medical Misogyny and How Disabled People Face Increased Risk of Abuse Most of us have heard Gisele's story. It's a reminder that even men you trust can harm you. Did you know that she went to her doctors for help? A look at how medical misogyny contributed to her abuse.

Look at the horrific case of Gisele Pelicot. Drugged & assaulted for over a decade and her doctors didn’t figure it out.

They said it was aging, early onset Alzheimer’s… they didn’t believe their patient.

Misogyny in medicine causes tremendous harm. We must do better:

No β€˜water system in the world’ could have handled the LA fires. How the region could have minimized the damage | CNN Widespread destruction from the L.A. fires was inevitable, given the drought and winds. Still, the region could have been better prepared.

CNN interviewed more than a dozen experts, and they said that no fire hydrants would have been able to stop the LA wildfires with the high winds. β€œI don’t know a water system in the world that is that prepared for this type of event,” said one expert.
