Context & audience may certainly influence what components of HL are emphasized… but health literacy is what it is and hopefully evolves into an even stronger set of theory & practice but will always be health literacy. That’s one take anyway.

[Global Health Literacy @GlobalHealthLit]

Does putting any specific descriptor or adjective in front of “health literacy” actually change the meaning of HL? Lean strongly toward no but it definitely has a great potential to mislead. Seems more of an attempt at marketing/self-promotion that’s happening all too frequently.

This analysis of retro cohort data (1.3M) is incredibly alarming. Increased risk of mult neurological disorders after #COVID19 incl psychotic disorders, cognitive impairment/dementia, seizure, strokes, etc even 2y later. Both kids & adults. 😞#MedTwitter https://t.co/N2qmU8A9CA

70% of monkeypox cases detected in North Carolina are among Black men and 19% are in White men, but less than a quarter of vaccines have gone to Black recipients while 67% have gone to White recipients. We have to do better.

No pay-no publish journals - have they dramatically increased readership in even the general public? If not, where’s the health literacy? Just another profit model, Likely makes more $ for journals but definitely restricts who has capacity to publish w/true & unbiased peer-review

BREAKING: The Texas Supreme Court blocked our injunction, allowing a total abortion ban originally passed in 1925 to be enforced.

This law has already forced countless people to carry pregnancies against their will.

Abortion is our right — no matter what the courts say.

If it takes 50 votes to confirm a Supreme Court justice, it should only take 50 votes to overrule them when they act like highly-partisan politicians.

I don’t think people realize that it is perfectly fine to be pro-life for your own body, but you can’t force that on someone else’s body. That is their decision.

[Andrew Pleasant @andrewpleasant]

Overturn is the understatement of my lifetime. Shame shame shame on the US Supreme Court. Most of whom should be debarred.

[Global Health Literacy @GlobalHealthLit]

The US Supreme Court is no longer supreme nor a valid unbiased court.

@GlobalHealthLit The US Supreme Liars should be the new name.
