Today, it is medical negligence for a doctor to give you advice (particularly on drugs you or your child should take) without advising you to get a second opinion with Super-intelligence.

The Hyde Amendment is outdated and unjust. It has stripped 8 million women on Medicaid of their reproductive freedom. I’ve joined 200+ of my Democratic colleagues in supporting the EACH Act to end the HYDE Amendment and support coverage for all.

Raise your boys to have genuine friendships with girls, and push back hard against the idea that girl stuff is bad or off limits. Rape culture is downstream from homosociality.

Please watch and learn from us. Strong pushback at the start may have prevented all of this. Faculty governance is sacrosanct, and that was the first domino to fall. A decent president should want to work hand-in-hand with the faculty, even if it’s not always easy.

I hate it so much. This can happen to you too. A year ago, almost everyone doubted this would happen. I had faculty at other schools telling me I was hysterical. (Irony!) Watch for the installation of right wing figureheads without an academic background. Watch for assaults on faculty governance.

So measles PEP isn't simply: "Exposed? Give MMR." It's: WHO was exposed? Are they immune? How old are they? Are they high risk? And exactly how long ago was the exposure? With measles, the clock matters.

Reminder that the Children's Hospital of Philly is also the one whose leadership sought to meet with their senator, John Fetterman, about "vaccines and Medicaid cuts" last September, and he was less than enthusiastic, per WSJ
WSJ:
Last September, when an aide told Fetterman that officials with the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, known as CHOP, wanted to meet because they were worried about Medicaid cuts, he was dismissive.  
[followed by snippets of a text conversation between Fetterman and an aide]
FETTERMAN: Why do I have to keep meeting with chop
AIDE: Because they are worried about vaccines and Medicaid cuts.
FETTERMAN: Well I'm not... I'm convinced they just want free trips to DC

He championed vaccine mandates. Will that record help him unseat a party-shifting conservative?
In one of California’s newly created congressional districts, candidates diverge sharply on healthcare issues, but most voters agree healthcare costs too much.

It doesn’t matter if you eat organic foods. It doesn’t matter if you exercise regularly. It doesn’t matter if you inject peptides. It doesn’t matter if you have “good genes”. None of these things will prevent you from contracting vaccine-preventable diseases. There is only one thing that will.
