As an fyi: I do not have ANY active accounts on twitter/X. Any account created with my name/profile is NOT me.
I made the conscious decision to 100% delete and deactivate as it is time for me to move on and not cling on to that platform.

Ignoring and not talking about AIDS does not make it go away Donny.
I cannot think of a single time where a country or multi-lateral entity has EVER chosen not to commemorate World AIDS Day.
But don't worry. We took care of those nasty seed oils.

1/ ⚠️ Breaking: At CDC, we've been told the US Government will not officially commemorate World AIDS Day this year. No explanation given.

It's been almost 9 months since the first set of illegal firings began happening across the federal government.
More than 200K
How much money did that save the federal government? $0
How much will their critical service cost the American public? Billions

No former and current federal employee should feel good about the fact that chuck and gang have decided to cave on the ACA subsidies.
It’s a slap to the face of everyone who has suffered this far to fight back. Every single one of them needs to be primaried.

The administration has 100% taken the country hostage with contingency funds that were already set aside and approved.
They would rather starve millions vs moving the needle forward.
Cruelty is always their game.

Received a nice little surprise award in our public health dept staff meeting.
This award felt more meaningful than any of my meritorious performance award as it was a heartfelt thank you from my colleagues.
It took every little bit of energy I could muster to not ugly cry while accepting it.

Of all the people, Rubio knows DAMN well that the United States is the LARGEST contributor to the Global Fund, which provides lifesaving treatment for AIDS, TB, and Malaria.
Every year we have contributed BILLIONS in helping countries get these treatments.

The insidious “obvious now” factor is that all this dialog of vaccine and Tylenol causing autism is that it’s normalizing and setting the tone of “neurodivergence is an unforgivable sin and we must not let them exist”
We are not a sin.
We deserve to exist.
We deserve love.

20 years ago I would never think that it was acceptable for men to get their nails done
Even after coming out, there was the extremely toxic gay dating culture of “no femme, no Asians, no Blacks, no fat” mentality
Today I said “fuck it” and went to get a manicure and select my nail polish

It appears we’ve now gone down the rabbit hole (again) of anecdotes being evidence for mRNA vaccines causing cancer. And Robert Malone with his tacky:dated tinfoil hat claiming Pfizer tampered with their safety data… (with no evidence)

If anyone has followed me back when I covered CDC’s ACIP meeting pre-trump, you’d understand that the group that is responsible for reviewing the data and making recommendation on vaccines are not THIS incompetent. Listening to their “deliberation” was equivalent to Reddit conducting a vibe check

Regardless of ACIP’s decision this week (this is one component of the vaccines availability) AHIP has noted that health plans will continue to cover all recommended immunizations as of Sept 1 2025.

Lots of questions here.
VAERS is a system that generates hypotheses. It is designed to be a very low threshold system for everyone, patients and providers, to submit adverse events for additional review and to generate more study.

Yesterday’s events have further cemented my mindset that folks cannot operate with nuance on the topics that need urgent addressing. We’re so focused on binary thinking, right or wrong, this or that, that we lose sight of what is actually killing us literally and figuratively as a democratic nation.

All this sudden anger/language on RFK pisses me off more than anything:
➡️ stop calling him a vaccine skeptic. He’s an anti-vaxxer.
➡️ he and MAHA have always made it clear on removing/side stepping scientific experts.
➡️ he has NEVER intelligently spoke about public health.
Stop. Normalizing. Him
