They've been shit since 9/11 when they pushed people to be fearful and reactive like every night. Full Measure is just propaganda.

I saw a family (mom, dad, adult son) die in the span of a few weeks. The father didn’t believe it was Covid and thought we were doing something to them. Him asking me what he really had and would I please help them will stay with me forever.

Feeling a lot like I did in early days of the pandemic these days. It is so clear what’s coming: The people that will die because of cuts in global health, because of cuts to research, because of the concerted anti-vaccine push. It’s clear what’s coming, but we will have to wait to count the dead.🧪

Trump going to see Les Mis in the middle of all this couldn’t be more ironic. It’s like he went to Wicked and came out saying, “Let me tell you, folks — the Wizard, he’s doing a tremendous job. Absolutely incredible. People say, ‘Mr. Trump, have you seen the Emerald City?’ “

Big surprise that this was never about getting the "best work" at all - this is about their fear of not being on top. I've heard some folks say the quiet part out loud.

Again, the World Health Organization is the single most important global entity in preventing, tracking and controlling outbreaks, epidemics and pandemics and is especially important as climate change and deforestation allow pathogens to mutate, become more infectious and spread to new regions

A bill to break up UnitedHealth, CVS, Cigna and more has been introduced by a bipartisan group of U.S. senators and representatives. The legislation would force insurers to sell their pharmacy businesses. It aims to combat PBMs, pharma middlemen who drive up costs.

“According to The Lancet, at least 68,000 Americans die preventable deaths every year because they are denied care or can’t afford it. That’s 68,000 people—grandparents, children, and loved ones—lost because healthcare in America is treated as a commodity rather than a basic human right.”

For sure: I’ll never go to a conference in Florida again. I was also thinking about IDWeek in 2025: it doesn’t make sense to hold a medical conference in a place that will likely soon affirm that it doesn’t really believe in medicine anyway (it’s in GA) and isn’t safe for colleagues.
