Would happily come back if he goes, but it's probably past its tipping-point now (pun intended)

When vaccines blunted their impact, we forgot the fear of the disease, and in our comfort, people began to forget why we needed the vaccines in the first place.

[Kristen Panthagani, MD, PhD @kmpanthagani]

I would love to tell you about the times vaccines prevented me from getting sick, but every time it happens, I don’t notice. I just keep feeling well.

Neither do you.

Public health, when it’s working, is invisible.

@ThomasHall17 @LanguageDoodad In France, prescription and medical lables are written to be understood by 11-13 year olds. I suspect the same principle applies in many countries (not defending MAGA voters, but just saying).

Ce matin sur @franceinter, Antoine Compagnon a affirmé que l'Académie française ne percevait pas d'argent public. C'est faux.
Ci-dessous, le rapport de la Cour des comptes : 15 M€ chaque année pour l'Institut et les Académies. Mais c'est pas fini⬇️⬇️

All numbers are showing that Russia is dying and this short video summarizes from that perspective I have been mentioning from time to time when referring to the extraordinary high Russian casualty rates which lately exploded even more.

@joneslillycal @WendyHassonMD Yes, measles.

[Wendy Hasson MD @WendyHassonMD]

Have you ever watched a baby die of pertussis? I have. Several.

This is what it looks like:
A newborn baby can’t stop coughing. They can’t catch their breath and they can’t eat. They get dehydrated and stop peeing. They sometimes have pauses in their breathing. Parents are terrified so they come to the ER.

In the ER, labs show they have a dangerously high white blood cell count. Their blood has become thick from the white blood cells and doesn’t travel through organs like it should. Less oxygen gets delivered to vital organs. They start to seize. Imaging reveals they had a stroke. They can’t pump blood to their lungs and body.

A breathing tube gets placed in their trachea. They get put on a ventilator. A plastic catheter is placed in their veins and arteries to give them medicine and measure blood pressure.

If they are lucky, they can make it to a #PedsICU that provides #ECMO, or full heart lung bypass. They are attached to machines that take over all their body functions.

But it’s too late. Their hands and feet turn black because they can’t perfuse their bodies. Their faces turn grey/green. They won’t stop seizing from the brain injury.

They are attached to too many machines to hold while alive and parents lay their bodies on top of them and cry until they fall asleep then cry again.

There is nothing to do but stop the machines. Antibiotics to treat pertussis were given but were no match for the infections effects on a newborn baby.

Parents finally hold their baby after the machines have turned off and their baby is cold and lifeless.

Is this what you want? This is what RFK Jr will bring to American families.

Ben voyons ! Comment peut-on assurer un bon diabète à son enfant si on ne fait pas cela ?!…

[Dame Régente de la Caisse👑 @LaGrinchette]

me désigne, sur le tapis, un poil plus loin, la fameuse boisson énergétique.

Mais qui donne ça à ses enfants ? Enfin ses enfants de moins de 5 ans ?

Et bé..

Twitter is full-blown right-wing now.

That's the 'theory'.

Dear Media:

STOP saying Trump "selected" or "appointed" a potential cabinet member like it's a done deal.

He NOMINATES them. And they must be CONFIRMED by the Senate, as required by the Constitution.

It's a presidency, not a monarchy.

@tonythorne007 Good grief! I started writing one when I was 16 (got at least the rough draft of a possible first sentence down). Will have to check it out.

[frogologue @frogologue]

@TK_EMDOc Yes, but "if you take methotrexate", there is also the risk of infants that survive it living with a variety of physical deformities. Not against abortion in any sense, just saying.
