I’m baffled by the parents that refuse the modern medicine that is vaccines to prevent disease, but fully expect other modern medical treatments that are more invasive, potentially harmful, painful, and expensive to save their children when they contract the vaccine-preventable disease.

How will the US come back from this?
It feels overwhelming and it has been just over 1 year.

The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks.
Authority is brittle.
Oppression is the mask of fear.

There are serious reasons that universities of repute have vaccine requirements, especially for student living in dorms and other dense residential settings.

Wasn’t the 10B figure calculated from a $1k fine for every disclosure with the final total arising from the global news reporting?
Is there a similar minimum penalty for sexual assault victim privacy violations? If not, there should be.

Exclusive: Key US infectious-diseases centre to drop pandemic preparation Staff members have been instructed to scrub this topic and β€˜biodefense’ from the agency’s website.

Every day is a new low.
Another level of protection removed from the American public defense.

Deny. Delay. Distract.
It won’t work.
One outcome needs to be accelerated:
Impeach. Convict. Remove.

47 days of training ICE officers before equipping them with lethal weapons and turning them loose on the US city of Minneapolis may have been, in retrospect, too few.

Opinion | A viral infection can have devastating effects. I experienced this firsthand. The consequences of the anti-vaccine movement reach beyond today’s controversies.

🎁 "Though measles is known for its fever and rash, its most insidious damage is deferred. By erasing much of the immune system’s memory, the virus can leave survivors vulnerable... to infections they had already learned to defeat. It turns a brief illness into a long-term assault.." #medsky #idsky

Reducing by 700 still leaves 2,300 more ICE agents in the Minneapolis area than are needed.

I’m trying to determine a more comprehensive MDR-GNB guideline. I’ve seen β€œGNBs with nonsusceptiblity to 3 or more [normally effective] antimicrobials;” but I can’t find the reference for that.

Do #IDsky readers use MDR-GNB as a category? If so, what’s your inclusion criteria?
