Literally in tears. People outside of healthcare have no idea how devastating this is.

Like, I had a subscription as part of my job as an infection control nurse.

I feel sick.

Just in case: MMWR is a key frontline indicator for outbreaks. The first subtle hint of AIDS was in that publication. This is the pale horse that Death rides.

Illinois law requires all registered vehicles to display front and back license plates, without exception. But to evade accountability, masked federal immigration agents are driving around in unmarked cars without plates.

Federal immigration officers wear masks, no name tags — now some drive cars without license plates

The Sun-Times has documented four unmarked cars carrying federal officers without required plates, offering another way to shield their identities. Federal officials say they’re meeting regulations.

Thanks to Republicans in Congress, some Americans will have to pay more than $22,000 every year to keep their health insurance coverage.

$22,000.

That could be a matter of keeping health care coverage or just giving up—and for some people, life and death.

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

“We can give $20 billion to Argentina but we can’t afford the CDC’s measles experts” is a hell of an argument

RFK Jr. is HARKing in human form.

“hypothesizing after results are known,” is a tactic to “fit” a narrative to data.

It’s how he’s going to “make proof” for false health claims.

RFK Jr isn’t a scientist. He doesn’t know how to do science. He HAS profited off health disinformation for decades.

My brain every hour of every day working as a doctor in the US as our public health system burns to the ground 🔥 Exterior: calm and professional 😌 Interior: screaming into the void 😱 Misinformation kills. Vaccines save lives. RFK Jr MUST be impeached. #publichealth #rfkjr #tiktokdoc

People keep saying “my body, my choice” about public health — but that phrase doesn’t mean what they think it means. 🧠 When the choice only affects you, that’s autonomy. When the choice affects others, that’s public health. The two aren’t the same — one protects personal freedom, the other

To the anti-science movement… mwah 💋 Evidence-based forever, babes. Some of us still believe in peer-reviewed studies, board certification, and actual medicine — not conspiracy theories disguised as “wellness.” 🧠✨ Here’s to real medicine, science-backed public health, and doctors who know the

Turning the military on citizens.

Attempting to rig elections.

Toying with the idea of declaring martial law.

Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out.

If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

Doctors vaccinate ourselves, our kids, our spouses, our parents… even our dogs 🐶. That’s not a pharma conspiracy — that’s called evidence-based medicine, public health, and science that actually works.

💉👩‍⚕️ Doctors don’t get 💰 from ‘Big Pharma’ for vaccines. Radiologists & pathologists don’t even prescribe meds. Pediatricians—who actually give vaccines + care for kids every day—earn the least of all specialties because payments come from insurance, and pediatrics has the highest Medicaid
