Calling bullsh*t on any pundit or so-called expert who continues to suggest that 'maybe MAHA has a point' on any damn thing. Babies in PA are being born with measles, we still can't trust the safety of our produce and today in DC, MAHA has an accused rapist moderating a panel. Come on.
In two weeks, Russell Brand goes on trial in the UK on rape and sexual assault charges in cases involving six women.

Tomorrow in DC, he's appearing at a MAHA gathering to  'moderate' a discussion with Dr Oz about medicare and medicaid.

I don’t want to share the gory details of the Cornell rape case, but two things are clear: Many men need a lesson in consent. Institutes of higher learning will bury rape allegations to protect their privileged male students and their reputations. Writing an essay is NOT sufficient punishment.

Stealthing is rape. Sleeping with a minor is rape. Drugging someone and having intercourse is rape. Coercing someone into bed is rape. Your wife or girlfriend does not “owe” you sex. If there’s no consent, it’s rape.

Dear Colleagues,
Re: Updated COVID-19 testing guidance effective from 6 August
2026
Key points:
• Lateral flow device testing for COVID-19 is no longer recommended for symptomatic healthcare staff working in clinical areas caring for profoundly immunocompromised patients.
• Healthcare staff who are unwell with respiratory symptoms should contact their line manager and follow usual sickness processes
I am writing to inform you of updated guidance for COVID-19 testing in health and social care settings. Previous testing guidance issued in February 2024 has been stood down with immediate effect.'
While COVID-19 continues to pose a serious risk to vulnerable populations, this updated guidance reflects the changing burden of COVID-19 in Northern Ireland, which is now more closely aligned with that of other viral respiratory infections.
Testing for COVID-19 continues to be recommended in the follow scenarios:• To inform clinical management of a patient.
• To investigate and manage incidents and/or outbreaks.
• To protect extremely vulnerable settings, enabling cohorting and appropriate infection prevention and control measures.
1. Testing for symptomatic health and social care staff
COVID-19 testing of symptomatic staff across health and social care settings, including hospitals, primary care, community, care homes and hospices, is not required. This guidance removes the previous requirement for COVID-19 specific testing by lateral flow device of symptomatic staff working in clinical areas caring for immunocompromised patients.
Staff who are unwell with respiratory symptoms should contact their line manager to complete a risk assessment in line with usual sickness and absence processes.
The above advice applies to all health and social care settings, except for symptomatic health and social care staff who may themselves be eligible for COVID-19 treatments. Such staff should test in line with current COVID-19 testing advice for individuals who are at highest risk.
Eligibility for COVID-19 treatments are available at Treatments for coronavirus (COVID-19) | nidirect.
2. Clinical indications for testing
Testing should support clinical diagnosis and management with clinical teams exercising discretion in relation to the testing required for any individual patient. Testing should continue in those patients who are suspected of having COVID-19 and who are eligible for COVID-19 treatments.
Setting specific guidance for COVID-19 testing for individuals in care homes and hospices remains unchanged. Full testing guidance for these settings can be found here: Testing in care homes and hospices | HSC Public Health Agency
3. Access to lateral flow devices
Care homes, primary care and independent health practitioners who require testing can continue to access LFD tests via the Pharmacy Collect scheme. Ordering arrangements for HSC Trusts remain unchanged3. Access to lateral flow devices
Care homes, primary care and independent health practitioners who require testing can continue to access LFD tests via the Pharmacy Collect scheme. Ordering arrangements for HSC Trusts remain unchanged. Trusts can continue to access these via BSO.
I would like to thank you and your staff for your ongoing commitment and dedication to providing the very best care possible.
Yours sincerely,
flame te lea
Dr Joanne McClean
DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC HEALTH
Guidance that has been withdrawn:
1. Updated COVID-19 testing guidance effective from 29 February 2024.

If you’re a random person and you have to deal with death threats and harassment from internet stalkers, it’s my understanding that the FBI basically ignores you in most circumstances. But the Millers are so powerful they can demote the head of the FBI’s DC field office for investigating too slow.
The orders from the bureau's DC chief Darren Cox stemmed from frustration shared by the Miller family that the field office was moving slowly in probing allegedly harassing phone messages left with prominent conservative podcaster, Katie Miller, added the people, who spoke anonymously to avoid retaliation.
Several of the individuals said Director Kash Patel was also displeased with the office's progress on the case.
