SILENCE = DEATH

For 40 years, research has provided tools, policies & programs to save millions of lives in the HIV epidemic.

On January 20, the global vision to end AIDS by 2030 was placed in serious peril.

Read our commitment to uncensored science.

AMFAR has published a report on how the foreign aid freeze affects PEPFAR, which actually still hasn't resumed.

They estimate that hundreds of thousands of people lose access to HIV antivirals and 1500 babies are expected to contract HIV — *each day* 🧵

[Rutger Bregman @rcbregman]

It's difficult to wrap your head around the enormous atrocity the Trump administration is committing *right now* -> 1500 babies getting HIV each day.

All to score some political points. God, this is sickening.

BC seniors deserve our best.

That's why researchers at Advancing Health are doing important work to improve seniors care. Part of this work includes understanding the impact of moving care away from an institutional setting to a neighbourhood-like setting.

Why did new troponin pathways at St. Paul's & VGH (Scheuermeyer 2024, @CJEMonline) have such a marked impact on LoS compared with elsewhere? "...careful attention was made to the change management & knowledge translation process."

Tuberculosis is the 2nd leading cause of death from a single infection worldwide, between COVID-19 and HIV.

In Canada, most cases occur in newcomers who likely contracted it before arrival. Testing everyone at risk in BC is infeasible due to high numbers and screening costs.

Sharing without clicking on news in social media https://t.co/d2SZzHZVq0

- 75% share without clicking
- > partisans content
- conservatives share without clicking more (76.94%) than liberals (14.25%)
- "the vast majority (76–82%) of [false info] originated from conservative news domains"

Sum: "...political content on social media (including misinformation) is driven by superficial processing of headlines & blurbs..."

@eyeslasho Should have left out the "fentanyl addicted hobo" bit. Addictions and homelessness are not moral failings.
