Mom whose 7-year-old has brain swelling from measles still wouldn’t vaccinate EXCLUSIVE: South Carolina parents living in the state’s measles epicenter tell Rhian Lubin of their devastation after their unvaccinated 7-year-old son, Ethan, developed encephalitis, a complication f...

“If I knew this could be the outcome, I still wouldn't have given my son the vaccine.”

This was said by the mother of a child in South Carolina who has been hospitalized with measles encephalitis since January.

I tried out several sentences for this spot, but none could capture my thoughts.

Gooo Blue Jays goooo!!!!!! 🇨🇦

At the 12 second mark, that camera operator called an audible and just said "fuck it, the lane is clear, no tripping hazards, I'm winning a Sports Emmy for cinematography right now"

I’ve found my forever meme.

Thanksgiving dinner table

Today I’m thankful for a Thanksgiving dinner with Persian accents, in the warm and loving home of my mother and father—who, though not healthy, is still very much able to enjoy the company of his family.

That seems completely plausible to me. A 16 year old would have so many more potential exposures than a 6 year old.

I agree completely. How to fix it though 😟

Some of these people have now been fired and rehired TWICE since January. The current state of dysfunction is mind boggling.

Diane Keaton, Famed for Roles in 'Father of the Bride,' 'First Wives Club' and More, Dies at 79 (Exclusive) Diane Keaton has died at age 79. Keaton was best known for roles in movies like 'Annie Hall,' 'The First Wives Club,' 'Something's Gotta Give' and 'The Godfather.'

The first reports of what would eventually be called AIDS and its causative agent identified as HIV were published in the MMWR in 1981 alerting health care and public health systems across the country. A tremendous loss for public health.

Neighbor shielded 7-year-old during South Shore federal raid: ‘I didn’t want them to take her’ During the Sept. 30 raid, one tenant protected a terrified girl and her mom. Remnants at the complex, including a detailed map of all the units, offer clues to what authorities may have known before t...

“Amid the smoke bombs and screams that ricocheted throughout a South Shore building last month during a massive military-style immigration raid, one man heard a knock on his door.

On the other side was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for his help.”

The editors of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) were apparently fired today.

The precursor to MMWR began in 1878 to address emerging public health threats rapidly.

We are not “great” without it. We are vulnerable to threats from sporadic foodborne illness to bioterrorism.

Sold-out Ta-Nehisi Coates speaker appearance in N.J. canceled over security reasons Organizers canceled a sold-out Ta-Nehisi Coates event in Montclair citing undisclosed security concerns.

Is it cancel culture when they threaten to kill you?

It really really is 😣

I hate how accurate this is

Terrible news for the United States and the world.
It’s heartbreaking to see such a valuable institution (and its experts!!) decimated like this.

This 🧵 is long so please bear with me. It is compiles evidence in a historical timeline on how effective #COVIDVaccines are. When a pandemic ends we quickly and easily forget the tools that got us out of it. So here is my labour day gift to you prompted by this headline.

Edmonton Public removing more than 200 library books to comply with provincial rules Edmonton's public school board is yanking more than 200 books from library shelves this year to comply with Alberta government rules.

So regressive & dystopian it feels like, um, The Handmaid’s Tale…👇

“…public school board is yanking more than 200 books from its library…”

“…including literary classics such as author Margaret Atwood’s ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’”

The Revenge of Millennial Cringe The viral resurgence of the single “Home,” by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, reflects a simultaneous disgust at and attraction to an era of unabashed sincerity.

As an elder millennial, I still love stomp-ho-hey music.

Absolutely. Must relish these ball
in shoe moments!

I went to put my shoes on this morning and there was a bouncy ball in my shoe.
One day, there won’t be any more bouncy balls in my shoes. And that made me sad.

Four people stand together in front of a beige brick wall. From left to right: Hassan Ronaghi, wearing a light blue shirt, gently rests his hand on the shoulder of his mother, who is dressed in a black headscarf and dark clothing; next to her is Hossein Ronaghi, with a shaved head and mustache, wearing a navy blue T-shirt; on the far right is their father, an older man with a white beard and short white hair, dressed in a white shirt. The family stands close together, appearing somber but united.

Iranian freedom fighters Hossein and Hassan Ronaghi have been kidnapped and are being held by the Islamic regime as it cracks down.

Hassan was kidnapped last week, and Hossein was kidnapped yesterday.

The health of their parents, who have already been through years of hell, is suffering greatly.

These are the Iranian voices we should be listening to — Nobel laureates calling for peace.

War is horrific. It should be a last resort.

Every life matters and deserves protection.

These may sound trite, but we seem to have forgotten.

That’s perfect. I needed it. Thank you ☺️

The pandemic was overwhelming and deeply personal. As an ID doc, I thought maybe I could help.

But this moment — with rising authoritarianism in the US, war in Iran, genocide in Gaza, and public health under attack — feels dizzying, overwhelming, and helpless 😟
