Read this entire (long) thread to understand the dangers of scientific illiteracy and Covid revisionism. Destroying #PublicHealth is not going to serve us well. Giving MAGA crackpots a veneer of legitimacy helps destroy science & health infrastructure, which will take decades to recover from.
I subscribe to the @newyorker.com, I was part of ACT UP, I knew Larry Kramer well and know Tony Fauci too. Daniel Immerwahr's piece on RFKJr, features this and other passages that need a reponse. 1/

We may eventually reform the system as urged by Dr. Blackstock in this article. But at the moment, vulnerable people dying as a result of these changes is the *goal* of the administration. #MedSky
I’ve spent my career inside ERs and health systems.
In 2025, I watched what many patients already knew: the system finally broke.
I wrote this in TIME magazine this morning to name what failed—and what has to change.

I am an independent. I begged some registered democrats in 2015 to re-register as Republicans just for the PA primary, because I swore that voting against Trump was more important than the Democratic race & that if he won the primary, he would win the presidency.

The Americans Who Saw All This Coming—but Were Ignored and Maligned
Call them the Cassandras: the people—mostly not white and male—who smelled the fascism all over Trump from jump street. Why were they “alarmists,” and how did “anti-alarmism” become cool?

I deleted my FB account when I started hearing about Zuckerberg‘s unethical behavior. I deleted my Twitter account once Musk took over. I never created a TikTok account when I heard about CCP access to the data. I have felt that avoiding social media has been better for my mental health.
