Asylum was historically hard to obtain but since Trump returned to office, a shake-up at immigration courts in Chicago and across the country has put judges under pressure to deny asylum petitions.

The HPV vaccine, along with the Hepatitis B vaccine, literally prevents cancer. It’s a miracle and EVERYONE who can get it should get it.

One of the biggest misconceptions about Ebola is that it is primarily a hemorrhagic disease. It isn't. In the current Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak in the DRC, fever, vomiting, and diarrhea dominate at presentation, while bleeding occurs in only ~10% of patients. www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

“This ruling is a devastating betrayal of Haitian families who have lived, worked, and contributed to this country for years — only to be cast out based on anti-Black immigration sentiment,” Derrick Johnson, president and CEO of the NAACP, said in a statement following the court’s decision.”

Your reminder that fairy tales are full of stepmothers because women once routinely died in childbirth, from postpartum sepsis, or from other infectious diseases and left behind housefuls of motherless children. Stable nuclear families are made possible by vaccines, antibiotics, and safe abortions.

Vaccines save lives. This is the FIRST time that ZERO cervical-cancer deaths have been recorded for this age group, and it’s thanks to the introduction of a vaccine against the human papillomavirus (HPV). Yes, you read that correctly. ZERO.

Heartbreaking. “Idaho’s experience may serve as a harbinger for other states poised to make deep cuts in Medicaid. The major domestic policy bill President Trump signed last summer enacted the largest Medicaid cuts in history, reducing federal funding by 15 percent, or $1 trillion, over a decade.”

This cannot be overstated. In addition to the fact that ICE/DHS perpetrates violence themselves, community based violence will be harder to address as trust in local law enforcement is further eroded due to their corporation with ICE. The impact of this will be felt for years to come.
