This line is going to stick with me for a very long time.

“One of them is a 4-year-old with Stage 4 cancer who was deported without medication or the ability to contact their doctors…”
Three U.S. citizens, ages 2, 4 and 7, swiftly deported from Louisiana
The cases have renewed concerns that the Trump administration’s expedited deportations are violating the rights of both citizens and noncitizens.

We are sending people for indefinite detention without trial at a foreign gulag because they have tattoos about soccer teams and about loving their mothers.
I want you to understand this is happening in our name and we know most of these men committed no crimes. One is a professional soccer player who was tortured in Venezuela and was working through asylum in the U.S. ICE shipped him for his Real Madrid tattoo and a picture throwing rock & roll horns.

The Red Cross is explicitly allowing blood donations for people with hemochromatosis

Did you know this?

Apparently, this policy was updated late 2023 and was long overdue

This is very bad news for Iowans.

Especially those diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, melanoma, glioblastoma or any of the other horrific cancers where mRNA vaccines are showing promise.

In 3 days, the number of measles cases in a highly unvaccinated area of Texas has doubled. There are now 48 cases, all of whom are unvaccinated, and 13 of whom have been hospitalized so far, for a hospitalization rate of 27%. This is huge figure in epidemiology. This outbreak will keep spreading.

Anyone with vaccine skepticism should tour our PICU. We have multiple unvaccinated patients currently on ECMO secondary only to flu.

It is really bad.

This is the first winter season where OTC tests for Covid AND Flu now are accessible in the US

Huge step forward for early diagnosis and treatment

It is ~ $15 per test. That money could be reimbursed afterward via insurance or use of HSA/FSA
