I remember hearing an ER doctor saying there were people he saw that said they were vaccinated but he was not sure it was true. I wonder how widespread that was.

I heard unsubstantiated stories that doctors also did this for adults that wanted to travel abroad during COVID and didn’t want to get the vaccine. They would get their vaccine lot number, place it on the card and that allowed them to go to Europe.

These denials take up valuable time for healthcare workers and patients trying to appeal decisions. They also delay treatment that might not be an option if the patient progresses.

So, is he saying affordable healthcare is “extremism”? I am only hearing a short clip so I’m not sure if his context.

The Senate deal is a colossal mistake and I will vociferously oppose it.

My neighbors are counting on me to stand up for them. They deserve better than a health care crisis inflicted on them by Trump and Republicans to fund tax breaks for the ultra wealthy. Can’t say it enough!

Thank you!!!

What’s even more terrifying, is trying to anticipate what is coming next. I can hear the theme song from Jaws in my head right now. END Citizens United.

And one billionaire is laying off 13,000 of workers right before the holidays. It definitely sounds like a trick.

Dozens of sick seabirds, struggling to stand and walk, have been spotted along beaches in Sarasota in the past month, according to a local wildlife rehabilitation center.

If memory serves me correctly, buses transported protesters to J6. Lots of them.

@davidjolly.bsky.social is running. There are still some blue dots down here.

I just talked to a CVS Pharmacist. He says Florida is not allowing ANYONE of ANY AGE (even over age 65) to get a COVID vaccine without a prescription. He says the state is “waiting” for CDC approval. I am a PHYSICIAN that cares for geriatric patients.

AI slop took over the internet. Here's what it is and why you should care We know firsthand how hard figuring out whether something is real can be.

Like spam, AI slop can grow like a weed if left unchecked, overwhelming social media feeds and leaving users unsure of what's real and what's not. We looked at the real-world impact:

If there are 750,000 hours per year spent on union activities, and there are 400,000 employees represented by unions, that’s less than 2 hours per YEAR per employee if you average out the time, correct?

It is interesting that he chooses not to
live in the country where he is causing discourse and chaos. That seems a bit cowardly… I question whether his only motivation for causing so much harm is profit. I suspect he enjoys inflicting pain more than he admits.

Vibrio causes a horrible death. I’ve seen it. As our Florida winters get warmer, it is giving the bacteria a jump start to propagate rapidly. If you develop an infection after going in the water seek care immediately. It often forms blisters and requires a special antibiotic.

This one’s actually worth watching! 💚

Anti-abortion groups believe IUD’s can lead to abortions because in rare instances, they can prevent a fertilized egg from implanting in the uterus. In general, they make the uterus hostile to sperm so no fertilization takes place. I’m not surprised the radical republicans destroyed them.

I find it difficult to believe they are going to release the real list, if it exists. Just like the “raw” video wasn’t really raw.

That was my thought that he was there to somehow record protestor violence minus the part where he incites it. Maybe he had an accomplice nearby posing as a protester capturing video? Whether he was government or not, who knows? I was honestly thinking neo-nazi group.

What kind of ear buds is he wearing? Does anyone recognize them?

Please define “large-scale”.

I’m a native Floridian and we have welcomed Canadians to our state for as long as I can remember. It wasn’t hard to pick them out walking on our beaches! It’s so incredibly sad what this administration has done. It’s not all Floridians, believe me.

That’s going to really boost Florida’s tourism 🙄 instead of sunshine and beaches you can now enjoy marines, ICE raids and concentration camps. If only they had passed the BIPARTISAN immigration bill. I wonder how many $billions we could have saved and pain and suffering we may have avoided.

We all forgot dengue. Of course, if there are outbreaks, will they tell us?
