It has taken medical science 200 years to advance humans to the point where people are so healthy and living so long that they can deny that science and medicine is what got us here.

It is so striking to be in a doctors office waiting room with sick patients and no one else is masking. Infection prevention and control in healthcare spaces seems like it has been lost to history and denial. #WearAMask, at minimum if you are sick.

When they cut essential safety-net medical systems and kill millions, we can't respond by just appealing for a return to the prior status quo––one that was grossly inadequate. If Dems want to inspire change and present a real alternative, they must adopt Medicare for All as a core DNC platform ASAP.

EBV is a leading cause of Multiple Sclerosis. Still, some people say, oh, if it is a virus that 90% of the population has, there is nothing we can do about it.
Wrong, we can do a lot to prevent the virus from damaging the brain. But all under development *while virology research is under attack*

An Evidence-Based Approach to Covid-19 Vaccination | NEJM This article from the FDA compares broad U.S. recommendations on Covid vaccination with those from other countries and announces the adoption of an evidence-based approach to such recommendations.

Devastating changes to vaccine policy will be catastrophic for the fall/winter flu and covid season. Last season 2500 covid deaths per week. There will likely be a significant increase
