Remote work and telemedicine were two things that disabled people had wanted for years.

They’re the kind of accommodations that make a huge difference in our quality of life & allow us needed autonomy.

Why are folks cheering to end telework? How does it hurt them?

[Alice Wong 王美華 @SFdirewolf]

When I saw Trump signed the executive order eliminating remote work for all federal employees and hearing the gleeful cheers of his supporters it just enraged me since it disregards the right to accommodations under the ADA.

This is just the beginning

If you’re seeing all the air filters and respirators being handed out for free in LA, remember these resources are only available because covid activists have remained steadfast in advocating for clean air and mask use since 2020.

[Smarter HEPA @SmarterHEPA]

Due to the poor air quality and purifier shortages in Southern California right now, we're opening our CA warehouse doors so people can get clean air gear as quickly as possible.

Order online with the 20% off code "WAREHOUSE" for in-person pick up on Saturday, Jan 11. ☁️

You're not a serious public health program, practitioner, or health scientist if you don't understand this—or advocate for it.

We don’t tolerate wildfire smoke or smoking indoors because we know the devastating impact on health. Yet we continue to ignore the dangers of airborne pathogens that damage multiple organ systems—neurological, cardiorespiratory, endocrine, and immune systems included—allowing them to circulate freely in public spaces.

Waiting for the CDC to require air-cleaning technologies in healthcare facilities, schools, restaurants, and public spaces is like waiting for a chef to clean the kitchen after a food poisoning outbreak. It’s their job, but they’re too busy keeping costs low to take responsibility—and people are left paying the price with their health.

Clean air isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. Protecting public health shouldn’t depend on whether someone thinks it’s affordable or convenient.

It’s time to act, with or without mandates. Because protecting public health should never be optional.

"While vaccination decreases the severity of acute COVID infection, the sobering conclusion of our study is that vaccination prior to infection did not alter the subsequent neurologic manifestations of long COVID in our clinic population."

To nondisabled folks identifying with, developing empathy for, and pledging to protect a certain dashing young man with a spinal condition and memorable Italian name:

Ok now do that for every disabled person.

Hi, emergency doc here to debunk the claim that “when you take care of yourself and have good health there are no emergencies.” This is a reprehensible, heartless statement. I see kids who were shot, domestic violence, assaults, fatal car crashes, people trapped in a house fire…

New modeling study finds that if everyone in the United Kingdom had worn N95 or FFP2 masks from the start of the pandemic, the rate of COVID-19 transmission would have been 9 times lower.

When you hear anyone in the news or social media say "during the pandemic" or "post-pandemic", this is what they are talking about:

I just sent my comment to the CDC; so should you.

Boston University’s endowment is over $3.5 billion.

Living proof that wearing a mask in public in 2024 is cool, attractive, and most importantly, shows that you care!

BU isn't accepting PhD students in humanities this year, blaming the union for requiring PhD students be paid what a full-time McDonalds crew member would make in Boston. https://t.co/6UuOXdXs9R

For the first time, Saint Louis University’s graduate student workers will be represented by a union. They voted 352-39 to unionize.

“This feels like the greatest achievement of our lives,” said Zach Davis, a doctoral candidate in American studies.

It's disturbing seeing some medical professionals normalize RFK Jr by saying "we have to meet him halfway."

NOPE.

RFK Jr is a charlatan who has deliberately spread disinformation that has killed people.

Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.

Scenarios in which “raw milk is basically a reasonable choice”:

You want something to drink while playing Russian Roulette.

You actually really enjoy vomiting & having bloody diarrhea.

You have accidentally time traveled to the 1800s and there’s literally no alternative.

[Dr. Lucky Tran @luckytran]

As a scientist who is the director of science communication for the medical center of a major university, my advice is:

Please don't rely on an economist who has spread misinformation about COVID to advise you about how to effectively message on public health.
