Healthcare worker here. I worked the COVID pandemic front lines. I can testify with 100% proven reliability that the only patients who died were primarily the UNVACCINATED.

Dr. Fauci is a deadly pathogen professional whose efforts and efficacy saved countless lives. The man’s a hero.

[Jerome Adams @JeromeAdamsMD]

If you’re interested in learning more about what it was truly like trying to communicate to the world in a pandemic, I dig into all of this and more - including COVID origins and the real challenges of giving practical guidance about a brand-new, rapidly evolving situation with limited testing, almost no cooperation or information-sharing from China, and the backdrop of a highly contentious and consequential Presidential election - in my book, Crisis and Chaos. 3/3 https://t.co/jTUp3Q2dAE

Covid vaccines saved lives at the height of the pandemic whether that fits your narrative or not

They just did

[Jerome Adams @JeromeAdamsMD]

Amid the calls for “transparency” about vaccines, we need to be just as transparent about the real harms from lack of vaccinations. 👇🏽

Recessions don’t hit all parts of the country equally. IMO, small cities, towns and states will get hit the worst. And it won’t be pretty.

They are more dependent on federal spending, so they will feel the brunt of federal spending cuts and job reductions disproportionately. They can be catastrophic to a town.

Because they are smaller, and more expensive to reach, they are more susceptible to the impact of tariffs and will be the first to see their product shipments cut when there are shortages, and their prices will go up more as a result.

They will see fabrics of their communities cut. The local museum. The local health clinic. And so much more cut.

The stories of the economy won’t be told here. They won’t be told in GDP numbers.

They will play out in the small town newspapers (that are left ) across the country.

For those wondering how the Delta plane crash in Toronto took place, here’s a new video of exactly what happened.

To whom it may concern- I asked Grok: Does the FAA website state they include “hearing, vision, missing extremities, partial paralysis, complete paralysis, epilepsy, severe intellectual disability, psychiatric disability and dwarfism as qualified” for the position of air traffic controller?

Here’s what Grok said: 👇🏽

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) does have programs aimed at increasing diversity and inclusion, including for individuals with disabilities. However, the specific qualification for the position of an air traffic controller involves stringent requirements that focus on safety, capability, and the ability to perform the job effectively.

- The FAA has an Aviation Development Program (ADP) specifically designed for individuals with disabilities, aiming to provide career opportunities in various aviation-related roles, including air traffic control. This program targets underrepresented groups, including those with what are termed "targeted disabilities," which include conditions like hearing or vision impairments, missing extremities, various forms of paralysis, epilepsy, intellectual and psychiatric disabilities, and dwarfism. However, participation in this program does not automatically qualify someone for an air traffic controller position. Instead, it provides an opportunity for these individuals to gain experience and potentially be selected for further training at the FAA Academy.

- Air traffic controllers must pass rigorous training and meet specific medical, psychological, and security standards. For instance, to be considered for training at the FAA Academy, candidates must pass an Air Traffic Skills Assessment (ATSA), go through medical and security clearances, and meet other specific criteria like age limits and citizenship requirements. These requirements ensure that controllers can handle the high-stress environment and the critical nature of their job.(https://t.co/2BdhrwGfcm)

- While the FAA has initiatives to include people with disabilities in their workforce, the specific roles and qualifications are tailored to ensure that safety and efficiency are not compromised. For example, individuals with certain disabilities might be considered for various positions within the FAA but not necessarily for air traffic control unless they can meet all job-specific standards.[]

In summary, while the FAA does aim to promote inclusivity and diversity, including in air traffic control, the actual qualification for an air traffic controller involves passing through a highly selective process that ensures the individual can perform the job safely and effectively. The FAA's emphasis is on ensuring that all controllers, regardless of any disability, meet the stringent standards required for the role.

@JeromeAdamsMD @MDLFindiana Leaving X. @JeromeAdamsMD are you on Bluesky?

[The General @GeneralMCNews]

BREAKING: Donald Trump has imposed a communications blackout across America's federal health agencies, including the CDC, FDA, HHS, and NIH.

These agencies have been instructed to halt all external communications, such as publishing scientific reports, updating websites, and issuing health advisories.

The directive was issued suddenly and without prior notice.

You can say you don’t like mandates.

Or that you’re skeptical of newer mRNA vaccines.

Or that you don’t believe you’re high risk (guess what- 60%+ of US adults are).

But you can’t truthfully say COVID vaccines didn’t save lives, or “don’t work”. 🤷🏽‍♂️👇🏽

Across race/gender/education/age/marriage/rurality cross-tabs on VoteCast, the only groups to move toward Harris from Biden were:
Those with graduate school

Older Whites

California is ready to fight.

I just called an emergency special session to help bolster our legal resources and protect our state against any unlawful actions by the incoming Trump Administration.

Whether it be our fundamental civil rights, reproductive freedom, or climate action -- we refuse to turn back the clock and allow our values and laws to be attacked.

This is so fucking badass‼ The movement against Trump and authoritarian fascism has gone global. Women of the Finish parliament have made a TikTok video to show their support for Kamala Harris. 🔥🔥🔥
