A predictable outcome when medical care being politicized. Doctors are frightened to put D&E or D&C in their notes, much less advise the procedures.

Ugh. I have warned folks who have tried to de-Meta themselves about Substack platforming Nazis. At some point, tolerance is intolerable.

Yes, it is true that reporting #Cyclospora was made "optional" about a year ago by people who don't understand #DataScience or #PublicHealth very well. 😮‍💨

Well, now that they are officially surrendered, this is Kali-Mama and her chicks. She is a Black-Breasted Red Aseel, which is an Indian breed of game fowl. I can't get over how beefy those lower legs are, even on a LADY. #ChickensOfBSky #BackyardChickens

This picture shows an adult Aseel game hen crouched inside a pet carrier. She is protecting two chicks.

Horrible news. On-brand for this set non-career appointees, though. Extortion is a very good way to describe it.

Keeping it simple: “Vitamin K injection does not contain mercury. Vitamin K does not cause cancer. The vitamin K injection used in newborns is safe. The dose is not too high for newborns.”

Some good work on monitoring endoscope reprocessing. While we don't expect them to be sterile afterwards, endoscopes shouldn't harbor high-concern organisms such as CRO after reprocessing. #IDSky #MicroSky 🦠

Every few years, I will adopt the oldest or rattiest cat in our shelter system to let them enjoy their golden years in my home. I renamed Mr. Scruffy to Abraham Guiseppe DeLacy Casey Thomas O'Malley. He is an absolute ham and melts in anyone's arms for cuddles. #LifelineAnimalProject #IndoorsOnly

A male tabby-patterned cat rests on bedsheets. He has scars on his nose, and large shaved areas on his neck, chest, and forearms from recent veterinary attention to stitch up lacerations.

Watching the Science Set grow has been a lot of fun, especially when you get to say things like "Louis Pasteur and Jonas Salk have the zoomies!" These will be heterozygous for the #HeatTolerance and #DiseaseResistance genes I'm looking for. #BackyardChickens

The girl chicks will be named after notable women in medicine. The boys will be named after notable #vaccine scientists because, frankly, these medical wonders are worth celebrating! Left to Right: #EdwardJenner, #LouisPasteur, #Peseshet, #FlorenceNightingale, #JonasSalk, and #MarieCurie.

Brilliant milestone; the US's healthcare is nowhere close. "Brazil met all the criteria for EMTCT validation, including reducing vertical transmission of HIV to below 2% and achieving over 95% coverage for prenatal care, routine HIV testing, and timely treatment for pregnant women living with HIV."

I'm quite pleased with FUBAR's development! She is as large as her half-brother, and twice the size of hell her sister. Got #EgyptianFayoumi looks with the #BielefelderKennhuhn size and chill. I'm looking forward to her ChB6 allele restriction mapping results! #BackyardChickens #DiseaseResistance

A newly-hatched chick looks around its incubator. The harsh lighting makes it look like a movie monster with black beady eyes and a scowling beak.

A red and brown pullet stands proudly for the camera. Each of her feathers have lacing. She has dark eyes and legs, and an orange leg band. She is standing on dry ground with leaf litter, with lush greenery behind her. Her crop is noticeably bulging from treats.

A large red and brown pullet is surrounded by three black and white chickens. The two on the left are both roosters with their backs turned to the viewer. They have black tails. The pullet on the right has a white head and is smaller than the others.
