We don't live in a civil society, we live in a hostage situation where--literally speaking--our lives are endangered by the stupidest and craziest people among us

The measles surge that RFK Jr happily drove has infected at least 50 pregnant women in PA "Doctors in outbreak areas are making changes to how they care for pregnant patients & their babies, offering a glimpse of what may be in store across the nation as cases spread" 19thnews.org/2026/10/penn...

What Pennsylvania’s measles outbreak could mean for pregnancy care across America

It's raising new questions about immunity testing before pregnancy, early vaccinations for babies and the many complications that could rise from infection.

I remember telling a student, many years ago, about my bout with measles as a child, and the student DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT MEASLES WAS. Health care has slid so far into the past. 😔

I've come around to the idea of active discrimination of people who refuse vaccines. There's basically no genuine religious reason to not get vaccinated, and even if there were, Employment Division v. Smith remains good law (well, for now at least)

Agreed. I see it the "hostage situation" in my own work (which is not about public health at all), and it is really getting to me. I imagine this is what climate scientists have been feeling for a long time. bsky.app/profile/ebha...

In the past month, I've started waking once a week at 1am--involuntarily--& being so wired that I can't get back to sleep all night. Couldn't figure out why. Wasn't doing anything different. Just realized: I'm scared by what I'm seeing in my research. Nihilistic billionaires toying with our lives.
