#Epidemics
Really would like to know what people who think that preventing mass death and epidemics is “government overreach” believe government is FOR?? Parades??
Actually, the real problem in my humble opinion is that masks should be required in medical settings *year round* in *all* counties.

I mean... why should you be allowed to spread your germs to other people who are sick?

“American Canto,” I will literally never get over this title

Sing, O Muse, of the sexting of Nuzzi,
Accursed, which brought many measles epidemics and colloidal silver poisonings upon the Americans,
Hurling their country into absolute shit
I don’t think any of us are fully prepared for the level of self-pity and absolution that’s going to be in Olivia Nuzzi’s (hilariously titled) “American Canto”

The film DARK WATERS was about the true effects of PFAS in humans, water tables and carcinogenic health epidemics.

Check it out if you’re unsure how dangerous this action by the EPA is considering.

Reversing years of established regulations which never went far enough. Beware America.

The onslaught and genocide that transpired across the continent—waves of settlers, smallpox epidemics, broken treaties, militia campaigns, Christian conversion, the creation of reservations, the relentless theft of land—occurred in Maryland two centuries before the Trail of Tears and Plains Wars.
We’re Still Here: The Still-Evolving Story of the Piscataway Nation
Two centuries before the Trail of Tears, English colonists drove Maryland’s Indigenous tribes from their land. Piscataway descendants want people to know their history.

Climate change is creating its own epidemics, and I'd argue these are very preventable if we had the will and capital.
As aid dries up in Kenya, millions are threatened by the climate-driven disease kala-azar
Rising temperatures and erratic rainfall have supercharged the breeding of sandflies that spread the climate-driven disease kala-azar.

You should only be chastising antivaxxers for the return of measles if you wear a respirator in public.

If you don't, you're a hypocrite.

You hate antivaxxers so much for spreading deadly disease, but how do you think we think about you and your naked, disease spreading face?!

There are more and more blogs and social media pages scaring people blue that we have now "epidemics" of various diseases that were severely underdiagnosed in the past, and guess if they do not spread conspiracy theories & chemophobia.
More education & better access doesn't mean "epidemics."

This thread. I keep reminding folks that whatever the government/society inflicts on Black people will *always* eventually fall on other minorities/poor whites and then move into the broader population. (prison industrial complex, concentrated drug epidemics (crack/opiods), income inequality)...

Here’s an idea for mayor-elect @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social… draw on the work, research and policy prescriptions from the plethora of professors @cuny.edu with expertise on policing, education, immigration, sustainability, housing, urban life, AI, epidemics, etc.
