City of Jacksonville give statement on Florida measles outbreak as spring break kicks off https://t.co/Z16rnrz4JU

[Sunil Joshi M.D. @chiefhealthjax]

2024 Measles cases in the US: 41
2024 Measles cases in Florida: 10
With spring break upon us and thousands of people visiting the First Coast it would be wise to know the signs and symptoms:
Initially: Fever, cough, runny nose, red eyes
In 3-5 days: rash starting on head and

Measles:
Did you know that in all of 2023 there were 58 measles cases in the US?
Well in the first 8 weeks of 2024 there have been 36 cases!
This is due to disinformation spread by extremists. Measles are dangerous highly contagious and vaccines stop it https://t.co/yh2ui6HVPD

Welcome to SLC's "Back to School" Series, where we will be providing parents of LGBTQ+ students with resources to advocate for their child's rights to access a safe, inclusive, and affirming learning environment as we enter the new school year (2023-24). Stay tuned for more!

“Wait, why are all these federal judges blocking bans on gender affirming care for children?”

Because the judges listened to the universal consensus of credible medical experts and applied common sense in their legal analysis.

Gender affirming care saves lives.

@DGlaucomflecken ABFM as well. We have to retest, or now do the longitudinal option, every 10 years but we also have 3 year MOC cycles that require yearly fees, 150 CME hours, several specific modules, and a PI project.

These are my teammates. We are Olympic champions. Three of us tried to give birth. Two of us experienced near-death complications. One of us died. We have to, and we will do more. Tori’s death cannot and will not be in vain.

DeSantis is dangerous.

The largest GOP controlled city in the country just flipped blue. Jacksonville is back.

Unfortunately this doesn't surprise me at all, yet there will be no accountability.

It now appears confirmed that Ladapo directly deleted data that went against his beliefs about the mRNA vaccine in the Florida study. Here is the document from Politico labeled "Dr L's Edits" 🧵

[Chris O'Donnell @codonnell_Times]

BREAKING: Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo recommended young men don’t get vaccinated based on a “flawed” report after @HealthyFla officials removed key data showing COVID-19 infection posed a far greater risk of cardiac related death. @TB_Times

The doors were locked.

The teachers were armed.

TN expanded firearm access.

The police arrived in minutes.

Covenant school had everything that MAGA GOP assured us prevents & stops mass shootings. And 3 babies & 3 adults were murdered in seconds.😳

IT’S—THE—GUNS

Our for profit health insurance system is a scam.

[ProPublica @propublica]

Doctors at a major US insurance company deny tens of thousands of claims a month without even looking at patients’ files.

“We literally click & submit,” a former Cigna doctor told @ProPublica & @Capitol_Forum. “It takes all of 10 seconds to do 50 at a time.”

The inside story 🧵

🎉 Family medicine programs filled a record 4,530 positions in the @TheNRMP, according to results released March 17. When combined with results of the SOAP, the incoming class will likely top 5,000 residents. Read more. https://t.co/sZSJdZRuBd

Today, HB 999 will be proposed by Ron DeSantis. If this bill passes both chambers on May 5th, the following will be removed from Florida’s College Campuses:

- NPHC Organizations
- NMGC & Latinax Organizations
- Jewish Studies courses
- Gender Studies courses
- Centers & Programs for Black Students
- Centers & Programs for Latinax Students
- Centers & Programs for Asian & AAPI Students
-Center & Programs for LGBTQ+ Students

It is pertinent that we stand up against this unconstitutional bill by using our voices as one to stand up for individual rights. RT for Awareness ♥️

[Sen. Jason Pizzo @senpizzo]

Dear Florida,

This is a friendly reminder that any problems with your home, car, insurance premiums, property taxes, employment status, family dinner, city infrastructure, kids’ GPA, faith, marital happiness…..have absolutely nothing to do with the LGBTQ community, AP African-American studies, CRT, books in the library, migrants in Texas, or whatever other bullshit those with little political will are slinging.

However, there are still a few of us in public service, who are waiting to meet the other side in the middle, and actually do the work.

Sincerely,

Jason

Just IMAGINE the Surgeon General of a state endorsing a publication that heavily cherry-picked 3 awful studies and ignored an ENTIRE BODY of literature showing what he said was wrong... 🧵
