I literally had to show people a paper card with illegible handwriting saying I was vaccinated for a disease that I already had in order to walk into a gym or restaurant for over a year.
And people like you were all for it. Fuck right off.
I've seen far more coverage of the Barbie Astronauts going to space for 11 minutes like it's Disney than I did seeing anything about Elon Musk rescuing actual astronauts who were in danger.
One of my biggest regrets was voting for President Obama in 2008 as a medical student & celebrating the passage of the ACA
Little did I know the carnage it would wreck on the medical profession and my future patients. I had no idea then that the ACA was written to strip physicians of their autonomy, boost insurer profits & drive healthcare consolidation
End result 15 years later is a more expensive healthcare system with less competition resulting in lower quality, less efficient care for patients. Coverage is not care!
Remember that the New York Times fired maybe the most experienced journalist in hot zone pandemics, in the middle of an actual pandemic because some student 10 years ago said he discussed the N word on a retreat.
Then his replacement came in and immediately called the lab leak theory a racist conspiracy.
That "skinny" girl lifting the bar recently gained 5lbs trying to overcome her eating disorder.
That skinny kid on the bench press is trying to get stronger because he’s tired of being bullied.
That young girl doing her workout wrong is new to the gym and struggling with addiction.
That angry looking buff guy just lost his job and has no idea how he is going to provide for his family.
That "overweight" girl wearing tight clothes has already lost 30lbs and is only just starting to feel confident.
That Mom lifting 5lbs has been dealing with postpartum depression and just making it to the gym is a huge win for her.
That guy sitting alone on the turf just lost his wife and his entire world is falling apart.
Everyone in the gym is fighting demons we know nothing about. Be kind always. 🙏🏼❤️
This disenfranchised kid with a rough family life from Middletown Ohio, which has an average income of $29,000 just became the next Vice President of the United States.
The American dream could not be more alive.
This reflects very poorly on Nature. Just like @holdenthorp@ScienceMagazine the more that Nature, NEJM, JAMA and Science overtly become partisan actors-- endorsing candidates and only interviewing scientists who share their views, the less the public will trust them.
