My parents were early anti-vaxers and into “natural medicine” they treated me with oils and tonics that caused me serious illness as a teen. I feel so sick reading this, these poor kids.

another great example along with Wired and Teen Vogue of how real journalism these days can be a lot braver at outlets where no one is trying to get in good with the White House press secretary
they’re out here with us, reporting on what’s happening to us all, instead of trying to get inside access

Imagine you open your email and find everyone in your hospital system is encouraged to retire next week and in return they get a 7 month severance period in which they no longer need to work. That’s just what happened at the VA today (and every other agency). #medsky

Just a reminder that if you’re anywhere near the fires but haven’t received an evacuation order yet, it might be a good idea to charge your devices, pack a go bag — important paperwork, medication, hygiene items, cash, changes of clothes — and come up with a plan for where to go, just in case.
