"There is nothing so urgent or important to the State about the medical records of women who end pregnancies that the privacy rights of those women -- and the Fourth Amendment protections that attach to those rights -- can be bulldozed away by statutory enactment." 6/
"Women are not some piece of collectively owned community property the disposition of which is decided by majority vote. Forcing a woman to carry an unwanted, not-yet-viable fetus to term violates her constitutional rights to liberty and privacy, even taking into consideration whatever bundle of rights the not-yet-viable fetus may have." 3/
@RoKhanna That's absurd. The U.S. government is currently providing aid for Palestinians in ways that don't involve supporting terrorist groups. Meanwhile Hamas is flush with money. https://t.co/9aduAUwiHH
@Columbia so the kidnap and rape of children is a “counteroffensive”? Have you lost all touch with humanity? How can a school of social work be so cruel and dangerous??
IT'S TIME FOR ALL OF US TO RAISE OUR VOICES!
The School of Social Work at @Colubmia University CANNOT allow a "teach-in" that sees rape as a "counteroffensive" and calls murder and kidnap of children "revolutionary violence"!
PLEASE RETWEET THIS WITH YOUR OWN CALL TO @Columbia
There’s a critical aspect of SARS-CoV-2 infection that many still don't grasp. This virus has a way of affecting us all differently, but one thing is increasingly clear: children are alarmingly MORE susceptible to airborne pathogens like TB, RSV, and pneumonia. The reason? Their school environment encapsulates and forces sharing of air filled with biologically hazardous pathogens, and their immune systems are still developing, making them more vulnerable to such infections.
Moreover, there's growing evidence of cognitive impairment in children post-COVID. This is deeply concerning, yet it's been completely overshadowed by nostalgia for normalcy and the dangerous idea that ‘learning loss’ from lost proximity to human bodies is more of a priority than ‘brain cells lost’ to infection. The assumption that a temporary switch to remote education was more harmful than exposing children to a virus that can impair their cognitive abilities was a tragic miscalculation.
Adults, on the other hand, while they may be more reluctant to admit it, are experiencing cognitive declines too. And they're facing different battles – vascular issues, endocrine irregularities, digestive problems, and potentially an increased susceptibility to fungal infections. These are not just abstract risks; they are the direct consequences of repeated COVID-19 infections.
What's frustrating is that these outcomes are preventable. Yet, there seems to be a lack of will to initiate change. The former Surgeon General @JeromeAdamsMD’s words resonate deeply here: We are indeed facing an 'immune deficit', not from a lack of exposure to various pathogens, but from an overwhelming exposure to one particular virus.
This virus is not just a fleeting illness; it has long-term implications that are now unfolding before us. The choices made, driven by certain groups and the desire for normalcy, have led us to this point. It's vital we understand this, not to dwell on the past, but to make informed choices for our future.
@jmurpheyWCTV@WCTV Wow. They really waited until the last minute. She must have thought she was in the clear. This is going to be a great scene in the movie.
I would not have predicted that a virus that depletes T cells & natural killers cells would elevate one’s protection against future infections of ANY kind.
Would you?
1/ So backwards of hospitals and other health care facilities to wait until COVID-19 spread in community is high/severe and systems strained to then require masks/respirators for HCW. This epitomizes reaction vs. precaution and a swing and a miss at do no harm.
1/20 It took us a week to formulate this statement. We are a movement of Jewish and Arab women with diverse opinions. We found ourselves in a threatening, horrifying reality. Words can't convey our past week's experience. We're searching for the right words to share.
“infection control measures implemented to prevent SARS-CoV-2 transmission in hospitals were associated with a 44%–53% decrease in the incidence of non-SARS-CoV-2 viruses.” https://t.co/BVQYBUX01X
@taltalon@safe_breathe We have flown 8 hours with elementary-age kids and we all wear masks. Some tips: 1)-We take a CO2 monitor with us. mid-flight the level goes down and we slip the masks down to quickly eat or drink.
2) we keep the air vents fully open. We have yet to catch COVID while traveling.
