Trump blames diversity for the air collision—but the receipts show he proudly deregulated the FAA. He blames Black, brown, & disabled people to to avoid accountability (& because he's racist/ableist).

Racist President Blames DEIA For Own Incompetence
The tragic fatal air collision is part of a deeper pattern of deregulation that corporate media continues to ignore and corporate bought politicians continue to enable

"Trump’s first actions included demolishing an air travel security group, forcing out the head of the FAA for corrupt reasons, implementing a hiring freeze for air traffic controllers, and sending blanket resignation offers to the remaining FAA employees. Then tragedy struck."

Reminder: #RFKJr is not a medically trained professional. His opinions about how to treat depression, ADHD, substance use disorder, prevent infections in children, manage miscarriage/abortion or any other health issue should be roundly dismissed. He does not know what he is talking about.

RFK Jr’s ex-running mate, billionaire Nicole Shanahan, threatened to fund challenges against senators opposing RFK Jr. if they didn’t vote to confirm.

How do we explain to them that GOP states are most reliant on federal welfare, that white people are most reliant on federal welfare, & this freeze hurts them the MOST?

The sequence of SARSCoV2 was made available on Jan 10 2020. Exactly 11 months later on Dec 11th 2020 the first EUA was issued for an mRNA COVID vaccine.
These vaccines saved over 20 million lives.
None of this would have been possible without NIH funding & dedicated scientists.

Honey, stop what you're doing, new hyponatremia research just dropped!
What's it say?
It looks like slow correction is associated with worse outcomes, like death and length of stay!
Was it just a small study?
No, it was a meta-analysis of almost 12,000 patients!

🎯 this is exactly why calling anti-vaccine activists “sceptics” misses the point.
Being sceptical is ingrained into regulatory agencies & vaccine advisory committees. Critical review of data, not denial of evidence
