Update. The #BMJ isn't the only journal pushing back against the #CDC directive that staff scientists should retract pending publications that use Trump-banned words. (Earlier in this thread.)

Kudos to the _American Journal of Public Health_ (#AJPH) for pushing back as well.

From publisher Georges Benjamin: "We at the American Journal of Public Health have no interest in following the president's prohibitions on language. We will publish things under our guidelines, under our ethical principles." Benjamin acknowledged that the journal may now get fewer submissions from government scientists.

AJPH is published by the American Public Health Association (#APHA).

"Cancer is a political disease... Adopting lax regulations, letting manufacturers evaluate their own products, knowingly allowing carcinogenic substances to be spread to pander to captains of industry, betting on discovery of miracle cures rather than on prevention and hindering consumer information: all this is not inevitable, it's #politics.

"As Green and the rabbits awaited their syringes, I couldn’t help but wonder: Can we really hope to imitate this magical fluid—and what might it mean if we do?"

I am specifically thinking about the healthcare industry's accommodators of fascism.

Unmasking, accommodating fascists, was the Rubicon. It was past many a year ago under a different president.

That you now don't have access to vaccine schedules, contraception guidelines, infectious disease guidelines on the CDC's website,

I have to ask, what the fuck were you thinking?

Those who have gone along with and thus reinforced unsafe, ableist, discriminatory healthcare settings should have done better then, but the next best time to do better is now.

Don't go down in history as Theodor Leipart.

This is insane. Under questioning by Sen Angela #Alsobrooks, #RFKJr claims #Black people need fewer #vaccines than #White people. This is pure disinformation & utterly backwards thinking. This guy is interviewing for the job of running all of the #health agencies of the #UnitedStates.

“It’s a death sentence, and the only reason the insurance companies do that is to maximize their profits.

My home town in the news again for the usual reasons, system racism. 🫠

In this latest episode a nurse at Henrico Doctor's is accused of beating newborns for the simple reason that they were born Black one child died. They had seven newborns over the last few years with unexplained broken bones 🤬

Very eyebrow raising that courts are supposed to be open to the public yet they didn't allow media in at all(even without cameras) for this case.

#BrianThompson’s a hero, huh? Yeah, gotcha.

#UnitedHealth Is Strategically Limiting Access to Critical Treatment for Kids With #Autism.

Leaked internal documents show that the #insurance giant is culling providers of applied behavior analysis from its network and scrutinizing the medical necessity of #therapy. Advocates say the company’s strategy may be illegal. https://www.propublica.org/article/unitedhealthcare-insurance-autism-denials-applied-behavior-analysis-medicaid #health #medicine #healthcare #LuigiMangione


Are combined spinal-epidurals better than labour epidurals?

Are anaesthetists who do not universally adopt CSEs disadvantaging patients?

Universal use of CSE would likely:
⬆️ burden of PDPH morbidity
⬆️ risk of fetal bradycardia & maternal pruritus

#Healthcare as suffering: “We sat in the hospital for 3 days b/c #UnitedHealthcare refused to approve the transfer via ambulance from the hospital where we live to another state. & at that point, I was ready to just get in my car & take her [1-year old baby with a giant brain tumor] there myself. But UHC told us if we left the hospital by our own will, & it wasn’t via ambulance, they were not going to cover her @ the next hospital we went to,” she said.

While your health is at stake, #insurance cos are playing a game of “denials for dollars 💵”…& they don’t like to lose.

Why do we allow them to dictate what happens to our own health? It’s highway robbery—patients suffer & die bc of denials of care. Insist on change.

This is historic! 400 primary care doctors at Mass General file to unionize.

“We as primary care doctors have allowed ourselves to be slowly stripped of our voice in the critical health care decision making process,” said Dr. Jiani Guo. “Only with the power of collective bargaining can we push back against the rising tide of corporate interests.”
