Breast cancer diagnoses rose by over 300% between 1973 and 1992. Was there a breast cancer epidemic?! NO. Mammograms were implemented for screening in 1976. PREVALENCE is a function of being able to correctly diagnose something. This is also about autism.

California Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas (D-Salinas): "there are currently more kids with measles in Texas than there are transgender athletes in the NCAA. That's the epidemic we should all be worried about."

It has been two weeks since a Georgia woman was arrested for her miscarriage, and not one major national outlet has covered the story

❗ALERT❗ There are 3 congressional seats up for election (FL-1, FL-6, NY-21), 2 with voting starting in 3 weeks (links below). Media has been strangely silent on this 🤔 Congress is 218 R, 215 D. If we pick up 3 seats, we gain control of the House. A major step towards stopping Trump’s agenda

In thinking about mental health and wellness, we want to recognize other groups under persecution as well: people who are transgender/nonbinary, have disabilities, don‘t have documentation, people of color, and others. Take care of yourselves, find your communities, be allies and support each other.

In 1992 the US public health service recommended folic acid (FA) for all women of childbearing age. FA decreases the risk of infant brain malformations. A 2015 follow up study found that from 1995-2011, brain malformations had been prevented in ~1,326 infants per year. This is public health at work.

The hardest part about public health is that when we succeed, there's no crisis, no epidemic. People carry on with daily life, unaware of a near-miss. We may never know how bad it could have been - because our public health workforce is always taking action to avoid, prevent, and control threats.

I wish we could reach the average American and let them know that with Trump’s cuts to the NSF, NIH, and CDC, they will no longer have access to cutting-edge medicine. U.S. physicians won’t have access to new technology. New cancer treatments will be available in other countries but not to them.
