153 kids are in quarantine in South Carolina.

118 kids in Minneapolis.

This is what happens when we ignore the science.

When we stop vaccinating, long eradicated diseases come back.

The kids deserve better than this. Measles can disable. It can kill. And it’s completely preventable.

Hundreds of U.S. students quarantined amid measles outbreaks

At least 270 unvaccinated kids are staying home from school as measles continues to spread nationwide. "Expect more," one expert said.

If reports are to be believed, Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya is to remain in Israeli prison (without charges or trial) even after the exchange of hostages.

This is honestly the craziest thing I have ever read.

The Ontario Ministry of Health is requiring international medical graduates to have attended HIGH SCHOOL in Ontario to be considered for a first-round residency slot.

The vaccine is important, but because #COVID is airborne and sits in the air like cigarette smoke, respirator masking is also very important. Many COVID cases are the result of asymptomatic spread, people are ill but show no symptoms and infect others. 🔽The new version CR box. It cleans the air.

Russia launched its massive onslaught on 24 February 2022.
We pay tribute to the men and women who took up arms and stood to fight the Russian invaders.
Their sacrifice will never be forgotten.

RIP - Yurii Prus (21), American soldier Ethan Hertweck (21), Artem Babenko (29), Yevhen Lapchevskyi

BC’s former Energy Minister rips into Danielle Smith;
“I’m a mom of a four-yr-old, and a lot of it feels a bit familiar…”

Instead of helping Albertans directly with things like healthcare, DS is focussed on fundraising, at the *expense* of Albertans & Canadians.

This post by @daniellebeckman.bsky.social is another reason why my spouse and I respirator mask anywhere indoors except for my own home. This is why we have #CorsiRosenthal boxes in our home and why my spouse and I haven't eaten inside a restaurant since early February 2020.

"Judas pig", very good article. As you have said over and over it would have been a very good thing for our provincial government to take this seriously.

My apologies, I saved the article to read later. I should have realised they'd call on the 'Chairman' for expertise.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

This unremarkable looking dude flew a twin engine bomber off an aircraft carrier in WW2 and changed the course of the war.

The Doolittle Raid precipitated the Battle of Midway, which the #USA won decisively.

Not sure if he would meet Pete Hegseth’s standards.

He doesn’t look like a warrior.

The words 'help' and 'bolster' are doing a lot of heavy lifting here. Help? To what degree? Bolster? How is that measured? d I'm so tired of these words that are so easy to call on yet are purposefully fuzzy in definition.

Minister Jones Mandate letter:
Surgery: "decrease wait times, better value for taxpayer dollars" - sounds like a plan. Would entail not paying profit surcharges over costs in the hospital. Would also include all the pts w life threatening conditions suffering in hospitals

Black families tend to have strong preferences against nursing homes, usually driven by concerns of inadequate care. Seeing that Black nursing home patients have significantly worse outcomes, and that they are driven by *within-nursing home* differences in care, confirms this suspicion.

NBER @nber.org · 1d

Nursing home value-added for black patients is 30 percent lower than for white patients, with most of the gap reflecting differences within, rather than across, nursing homes, from Liran Einav, Amy Finkelstein, @nealemahoney.bsky.social, and James C. Okun www.nber.org/papers/w34324

🧵 Am I surprised they gave Maria Corina Machado the Nobel Peace Prize? No. Does she deserve it? Also, no. There’s a reason she was barred from running for office in Venezuela: multiple violent coup attempts and calling of foreign governments, like Israel, to invade Venezuela.
