As an Rh neg mom with 3 Rh pos kids, I find posts like these deeply depressing. Rhogam can be life saving medication.
I've also convinced myself that one of my fave historical figures was Rh neg and that's why she suffered multiple pregnancy losses after her first baby.
This shit is awful. 🤬

Say what you want about the doctor-to-wellness-podcaster community, they will rise up to support a fellow bro.
Well... maybe not *directly* support him but just... meekly imply that only mentally unwell people expect powerful men to be held accountable.

From 2018 to 2026 Ford not only DIDN'T end hallway healthcare, he went one step further and normalized it. That's what it means to stop tracking and reporting the stats.

The backstory is Wolf had a resp infection and tweeted out home remedies while waxing poetic about pre-scientific folk medicine, etc, etc.
But what I'm highlighting here is the very common Schrodinger's Big Pharma, which simultaneously *denies* you cold meds while also *selling* you cold meds. 🫠

The dog is almost fully submerged in the snow. He can only move by jumping, which turns out to be pretty good exercise for him.

Catholic hospitals in Canada are public institutions, yet for far too long they have acted against the public interest.
Despite national standards on health care meant to apply across the country, Catholic hospitals use their own internally developed standards to (illegally?) limit care.

The right wing discourse on anti-ICE protests seems to whiplash wildly between "wine moms are a terrorist gang now" and "female protestors are horny for jackbooted thugs actually."
To demonstrate this doublethink, I present Naomi Wolf at her incomprehensible & contradictory best:

The overlap between culture war & MAHA rhetoric reveals itself through the tendency to make sweeping pronouncements based on looking at strangers.
RFK spots kids with mitochondrial disorders. Wolf (& Tucker Carlson) can read your T level from afar. The airport is always a diagnostic hotbed somehow.

Best book ever if you have any interest in the history of nursing uniforms. I wrote a whole long thread about it years ago on that hideous CSAM generator but maybe someday I'll have the time and energy to recreate it here.
Anyway, this book rocks.

As always, my favorite part of these article is when the journalist prompts the hospitals to give patronizing and downright dangerous advice to the public.
People aren't the problem here. It's decades of government underfunding and poor planning.
It's a top down problem, stop blaming individuals
