Anyone who’s ever used emergency contraception or gains peace of mind by even having it on hand owes Dr Camp a debt of gratitude. What a force.
(Also, I just learned one reason the FDA rejected it at first was that they said the name Plan B was too glib!)
Great obit—no paywall.

The Trump regime is now using US Attorneys to intimidate academic journals by sending them letters demanding they explain how they ensure ‘viewpoint diversity.’ Journal editors should be public about this and coordinate to refuse to comply with these fascist tactics.

He also considered the American revolution a failure, co-opted by self-serving, landowning elites.

Modeling shows that just the 90 day pause to PEPFAR funding will kill more than 100,000 people this year. It’s also shown that ending PEPFAR will lead to over half a million more cases of HIV in South Africa alone. This doesn’t even include the other USAID funding cuts. It is genocide.
