New modeling from The Lancet suggests the USAID funding cuts will kill 14 million people.
Many of them are children.
600,000 have already died.
The man who gutted the program?
Elon Musk. The world’s first trillionaire.
He has a trillionaire dollars and is murdering the poorest people on earth.
He should be in jail.
Billionaires and trillionaires should not exist in a world where millions die from poverty every year.

"President Donald Trump, who once declared he had 'saved' flavored vapes, grew his stock holdings this year to as much as $1.64 million in tobacco giant Philip Morris.
He also had holdings in Altria and a third leading tobacco company, though an apparent discrepancy in his disclosures clouds the extent of his investments."

NEW: After ProPublica contacted leading vaccine skeptic Dr. Joseph Mercola for an article on babies dying after parents turned down vitamin K shots, he publicly reversed his long-held stance that the shots weren't needed.
“The data is clear: vitamin K saves lives,” he wrote.

…#RFKJr on Monday announced initiatives intended to reduce #SSRI use, while attempting to reassure Americans who still “want” [have] to take them. They include reimbursement guidelines for physicians who help patients come off of the medications as well as plans to share data on prescribing trends & an investment in training for #healthcare providers.

Respirator masks like N95s will prevent hantavirus infection.
Clean air will drastically reduce hantavirus spread.
We already have the tools, people just need to use them.
Public health requires everyone’s participation.
“You do you” gets people killed

Babies Are Bleeding to Death as Parents Reject a Vitamin Shot Given at Birth
---
The vitamin K shot, a lifesaving injection given to newborns to prevent uncontrollable bleeding of the brain and intestines, has become collateral damage of the anti-vaccine movement.

Today is the fourth anniversary of the surgery I needed for colon cancer. I have a year and a few months left of surveillance before I can throw myself a party, but so far, so good.
#FuckCancer but also our medical system, which wanted to diagnose me with depression 🙄 rather than listen to what was going on before I got to Stage IIIc. I am lucky, because people a decade younger have died of this.
Stay on your doctors for better care, stay on your politicians for better #publichealth
