RiseResistNYC and ActUp joined forces for a "die in" at an #NYC #Tesla Dealership. Dr. Oni Blackstock, who is a major voice in US health equity, gave a speech about the danger this regime poses to #healthcare with cuts to #Medicaid and interference with #trans healthcare.

Quite the show of strength!

America’s top law enforcement agency is pimping itself out... to protect business executives from the American people, according to an #FBI threat assessment... “Heightened Threat to Chief Executive Officers Following the Shooting of a #Healthcare Senior Executive,” is dated February 19, and is a striking illustration of the new and growing Domestic War on Terrorism..."

Exclusive: Intelligence Dossier Compares Luigi Mangione to ‘Robin Hood’
A state fusion center cites high #healthcare costs as a key source of instability in the country.
The dossier adds that the public “may view the ensuing manhunt & subsequent arrest of Mangione as NYPD, & largely policing as a whole, as a tool that is willing to expend massive resources to protect the wealthy, while the average citizen is left to their own means for personal security.”

I can’t get over the cognitive dissonance of spending 12 hours of intense work in clinic, using every minute of my 25 years of training and experience to formulate treatment plans for my patients with #cancer, and then to come home and check the news and to read about every part of the infrastructure needed to attain the knowledge for these treatment plans bring intentionally dismantled

"Multiple scientific studies have shown that the risk of developing Long COVID is compounded by each reinfection. Wastewater data, now the only reliable metric to track the spread of the pandemic, shows that the average American has been infected by COVID-19 nearly four times. At the current trajectory, this figure will reach eight infections per person by March 2030. A similar reality undoubtedly exists throughout the world."

With the dismantling of the EPA, education system, healthcare and organizations that prevent deadly diseases it’s very clear that Trump, Musk and the Republicans don’t give a flying fuck about the future of this country’s children.

R/t: "I was rear-ended back in July and went to a local hospital.

The charge for the CT of the C-Spine w/o contrast was $3,870. The charge at the free-standing imaging center is $218.75! The difference: $3,651.25!

It's the same scan, & there is no rational reason for the price differential! This is why we're paying 2x what every other ctry pays for #healthcare!"-@realdocspks.

Cuba Sends #Doctors, the US Sends #Sanctions

The #UnitedStates calls #Cuba’s medical internationalism "human trafficking" — but it’s really an internationalist lifeline for the #GlobalSouth.

On February 25, #US secretary of state #MarcoRubio announced restrictions on visas for both government officials in Cuba and any others worldwide who are “complicit” with the island nation’s overseas #medical-assistance programs. A #USStateDepartment statement clarified that the sanction extends to “current and former” officials and the “immediate family of such persons.”

There’s measles outbreaks in multiple States now, and every time a new cluster is announced there’s an exposure at an ER

Why? Because that’s where the sick people go

It’s one of the reasons disabled people often say they won’t go to the ER unless literally dying.

They’re not safe places for us:

"Without treatment, 400 million people worldwide could suffer indefinitely. “Do no harm” means providing access to treatments — not withholding them."

~Julia Moore Vogel, Ph.D., MBA, ‘Do no harm’ is hurting 400 million long Covid patients worldwide

#Covid #COVID19 #CovidIsntOver #CovidIsAirborne #LongCovid #Healthcare #Disability


Patients have been bearing the brunt of infection control in hospitals, having to go to great lengths to protect themselves and their loved ones.

They’re unfairly judged, psychologized and mistreated for masking and/or requesting staff mask.

Covid is still here. It’s still killing and disabling people. We’re also seeing outbreaks of tuberculosis, measles and the worst flu season in over a decade.

Public health is being systematically dismantled and gagged by the Trump administration, allowing misinformation and disinformation to flourish and putting even more lives at risk.

Why don’t we have mandatory masking in healthcare? Why are we killing and disabling patients who go there for help? Who can’t ‘just stay home’?

The second article in my Masks in Healthcare series looks at patient stories, retaliation, and what we can do to make hospitals safer for everyone.

UnitedHealth Is Sick of Everyone Complaining About Its Claim Denials
—Rolling Stone

「 UnitedHealth submitted a letter to the Securities and Exchange Commission asking for approval to block a shareholder proposal that it use a third-party auditor to assess “previous customer denial claims, particularly where a death was involved, to determine if denial letters included factually incorrect and insensitive information.” 」

The Biden administration oversaw the largest disenrollment from Medicaid in history-25 million people. They did this as they manufactured the end of the pandemic to serve capitalism, abandoning poor, disabled & high-risk people, & doing irreparable damage to public health. 1/

Biden appointed Jeff Zients, a private equity exec & Facebook board member with no public health experience, to lead the pandemic response. His CDC director Rochelle Walensky said it was encouraging news that the majority of COVID deaths occurred in people with "comorbidities" 2/

Biden expanded Trump's plan to privatize Medicare. @TheDemocrats killed #MedicareforAll legislation & took 63% of the healthcare lobby's money in both the 2020 & 2024 elections. Harris, Biden, Obama & Clinton are the top 4 recipients of pharmaceutical lobby cash from 1990-2024 3/

@TheDemocrats paved the way for the Trump administration's plans to destroy the already murderously inadequate safety net because end stage capitalism demands it. Eugenics began as a "progressive" project- rank and file democrats have happily complied for the last 4 years. 4/

The US government is owned by the healthcare lobby- its interests supersede affiliation with Republicans or Democrats. This includes RFK, who's against government run healthcare but in favor of a government owned by healthcare- he accepted the 5th highest lobby total in 2024. 5/

Since Texas brought its near-total abortion ban, no one has studied the statewide effect on people undergoing pregnancy complications. So @ProPublica did it, purchasing and analyzing seven years of hospital discharge data. The findings: The rate of sepsis shot up more than 50 percent for those hospitalized in the second trimester of pregnancy. “This is exactly what we predicted would happen and exactly what we were afraid would happen,” said Dr. Lorie Harper, a maternal-fetal medicine specialist in Austin.

📢 The director of Gaza's Kamal Adwan Hospital, Doctor Hussam Abu Safiyah, is expected to be among those who'll be released on Saturday.

Israeli media has broadcast footage of the doctor chained and appearing weaker than when he was detained in northern #gaza back in December.

Dr @drmadsgilbert from the University of Tromso weighs on his release.
