Plenty of real-life examples she could have written about. This kind of bad faith shit just further hampers the public health effort.

Public health nurse, people loved getting free Covid vaccines. I gave them to people literally wearing Trump gear who would say “man I wish it was always this easy to get meds/vaccines/tests.” Had a perfect test case for universal healthcare in this country and they fucked it up.

Sorry that really sucks. Hope you feel better soon.

Guy in my neighborhood who is the most stereotypical midwestern dude of all time walks his chihuahua named Coco Chanel past my house daily

Tens of thousands of annual cases of chickenpox, rotavirus, and other vaccine preventable diseases a year - in a country of six million people.

Not only will Denmark’s vaccine schedule not work for the US, it already isn’t working for Denmark.

Our state HD sent our local environmental inspectors into all of our county stores to physically pull it off the shelves because a week into the recall, it was still being sold at CVS and Wal-Mart.

First Christmas with my husband, his dad is sitting in a chair sulking while his four kids and 8 grandkids open presents. I asked what was wrong and he said “Christmas isn’t the same once your parents are gone”. Which is true but sir you are 75. Go hang out with your grandkids my god.

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

I work in public health, and the application for SNAP is way more extensive than Medicaid. Also, at the worst exploitation of SNAP, people who won’t absolutely starve without it are getting some extra food?? I mean what are we even doing here.

Why does a 54yo high school drop out care what happens on a college campus

I work for local government, and even our secretaries have their faces, job duties, and salaries listed on the website. If you are paid with taxpayer dollars, then the taxpayers should know who you are and what you do.

We typically don’t give it under 4 anyway, so the only way this makes any sense is they are trying to sow mistrust in live vaccines.

In the AP article I read, they said that VFC isn’t affected by the decision, but Medicaid won’t cover it. In our LHD, maybe 5% of VFC eligible kids aren’t covered by Medicaid. So the vast majority of VFC kids are Medicaid covered. How does this make any sense at all?

It also will end up making things worse for everyone! If rural hospitals close, those patients will be funneled into already over-stressed urban systems creating even longer wait times and worsening the staffing shortages.

Toddlers have been doing this for millennia. Very effective against leaving the park and apparently also leaving a protest.

Nobody who voted to confirm RFK is fit to hold public office

Sorry to the haters, but he’s right. I’m an under 40 and just left a nursing conference. One of the presenters (who I’ve worked with before and is super intelligent and knowledgeable) lost the audience’s attention completely because of the “umm, like, you know” between sentences.

Fascism is when someone is mean to me

Just finished this episode, and I’m not a derm but I am a nurse, and you and David might be describing tinea veriscolor and not vitiligo. It’s usually worse after sun exposure and can last for years unless treated. Worth checking out.

Should be met with a constant chorus of boos from here to eternity

Canceling this to save $500 million. That is such a minuscule part of the federal budget that it’s almost laughable. So little money to potentially do so much good. RFK is going to have a more harmful lasting legacy than anyone else in this dogshit administration.

Honestly a pretty relatable reaction to being fired and then having your boss tell the whole world it was because you’re too fat

The sound of the footsteps falling during the causeway chase alone make it a necessary theater watch. Would have been half as heart-pounding to see on prime in six months.

My husband and his brother bought the same truck and I think this every time I see them parked next to each other

I’m a nurse, and we can choose a grade level to print off education forms and I usually just pick 5th grade across the board unless proven otherwise.

My very conservative family loves the M*A*S*H tv show and still rewatches it now and I’m always baffled. Like do you get what Alan Alda is trying to beat you over the head with? That war is pointless? That minorities, women, and gays should be treated with respect? Doesn’t seem to be sinking in lol

You may be thinking "How can an entire political party be organized around the policy of taking from everyone and giving to the rich? No one would vote for them." Well that's where Lying comes in

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

Part of my job is investigating dog bites, and I don’t think I’ve called one owner of a dog that bit someone that didn’t say “they have never done this before”
