@1goodtern Unfortunately the US system for reporting adverse events on marketed drugs is drastically lacking. It would be a miracle to discover any serious problems before they’re widespread.
@DecodingFoxNews Was a bible study table leader at an evamgelical church. My group was for those who were new to binle study, usually Catholics. The church members would often ask me if any of them had “come to Christ”.

@BethMooreLPM@DanielRitchie You were the lead in many of my bible stidies over the years. A brave voice. Even then. Interesting that I also found a home in the Anglican (Episcopalian) church. As did Scot McKnight and Rachel Held Evans
Sat next to a lady on a long flight. I’m window. She’s middle. Boarding finishes, aisle seat still empty.
I lean over politely and say:
“Hey, looks like we got lucky — you can slide to the aisle for more space if you want.”
She turns, looks me dead in the eyes and says:
“No thanks… I’m exactly where I want to be.”
Then gives me this little smirk.
My brain short-circuited for a second. Was this… flirting? Or was I about to get a 5-hour lecture about mansplaining airplane seats?
I laughed nervously and stayed put. Little did I know this was the beginning of one of the wildest flights of my life.
@patricia_kooy Yep. My life exactly. 2 kids+2 parents with 2 bedrooms and 1 bath. Kids bedroom was so small we shared a double bed. No a/c in house or car. Just one car, always used. Hand me down clothes from cousins. No soda. Water from the sink. Hang up your school clothes to wear again.
@labgolden@MontyVale143@NickKristof@WHO@SamaritansPurse Incredibly ignorant head-in-the-sand statement. Geo-political 101 is stability. Global disease is de-stabilizing and a national security threat. There’s also the issue of rich nations pondering their Starbucks choice while children are dying.
@vivicision@ashishkjha@IAmAmnaNawaz@WHO Oh my no. No money. No resources. No staff. Nada. The author, Nick Enrich, was head of Global Health at USAID. Brought to us by the Trump administration.
@ashishkjha Would love if someone could focus on all those who have been exposed and constrain their contacts through the end of the incubation period. Your hubris is showing. Dial it down. ATM we don’t know what we don’t know.
@tax_some57592@EricSpracklen What innocents? This was in a supposedly restricted perimeter. Supposedly. And on a floor separate from the event. Were randos just strolling through the security area???
