this will have an impact on global vaccine development and availability
May we see more of scientific evidence rather ideology driving #publichealth #harmreduction #drugpolicy in 2026.
unbelievable.. this administration is really set at destroying public health and health care
this is how ideologies overrule evidence…
if only public policy to address the fentanyl crisis was based on scientific evidence and public health principles

great to see a summary of our years of collective experiences and lesson learnt
such views come from the moralistic dogma that equate any drug use with drug use disorders…
scale up #harmreduction not scale down
such moves will also have an impact on global vaccine development and availability. Imagine another epidemic hitting and there would be no public health tools to tackle #publichealth
I will look them up…
ahh thats wonderful… thank you for sharing..
and imagine if that culture of “whispering” and snitching becomes common in US, that would be another milestone in becoming a fascist state.

how unfortunate for public health not just in US
Vaccines are rigorously tested, they are effective, and they save lives. More than 150 million lives have been saved in the past 50 years thanks to vaccines!
But you may be worried about what's in them?
So, let’s break it down ⬇
this is such an unfortunate thing…. are there no sane voices, people to stop this craziness
⤵️Good piece on what's at stake as scientific infrastructure is destroyed. #harmreduction #believescience
“I had to stand up and say something,” says Banta-Green, “The general public needs to understand what is being dismantled and the very real impact it’s going to have on them & their loved ones.”
pilitical decisions impacting access to harm reduction services where science and scientific evidence should decide
Are there no international case notifications to WHO as it has been the practice for COVID-19? Or is it that the global public health system may be falling apart… that’s a scary scenario..
thank you.. just looked it up… i will place the order tomorrow
yes its pseudo science literally a mumbo jumbo kind of quackery being written as public health
apparently a new set of #Publichealth and scientific evidence is being written
A question, please help clarify this statement based on someone’s comments “the concept of stigma against people who use drugs is only a western progressive woke’s idea” #harmreduction #drugs
