The cost of cute: animal advocates ring the alarm over increase in French bulldog surrenders
Animal advocates in Montreal say they're noticing an increase in the number of French bulldogs being surrendered because owners are unable or unwilling to pay for their care. Though they're cute, 'Frenchies' often have chronic medical issues — somethin...

This is sad news. We’ve looked on in horror as the USA appoints an anti-vaccine champion as Health Secretary, and measles spreads due to children not being vaccinated, but it seems #Scotland has its share of anti-vaccers. As so often, it’s the kids who suffer for their parents’ beliefs.

Measles cases on the rise in Scotland amid drop in vaccination uptake https://news.stv.tv/scotland/measles-cases-on-the-rise-in-scotland-amid-drop-in-vaccination-uptake


Top F.D.A. vaccine official resigns (under pressure), writing:

… that RFK Jr.’s “aggressive stance on vaccines was irresponsible and posed a danger to the public.”

And further:

“It has become clear that truth and transparency are not desired by the secretary, but rather he wishes subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies.” 👀

The Food and Drug Administration's top vaccine official, Dr. Peter Marks, abruptly resigned Friday, saying in a searing letter that Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr's aggressive stance on vaccines was irresponsible and posed a danger to the public. "It has become clear that truth and transparency are not desired by the secretary, but rather he wishes subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies," Dr. Marks wrote to Sara Brenner, the agency's acting commissioner. Dr. Marks resigned under pressure, according to a person familiar with the matter who said an official with the Department of Health and Human Services told Dr. Marks on Friday that he could either resign or be fired.

Hours earlier in West Virginia, Mr. Kennedy asserted that Covid did not kill healthy people, contrary to research showing that 30 percent of those who died early in the pandemic did not have underlying conditions. Mr. Kennedy has also extolled the value of vitamin A as a treatment during a major measles outbreak in Texas, while downplaying the value of vaccines. On Thursday, he announced that he was creating a new office to study vaccine injuries. Dr. Marks noted in his letter that measles, "which killed more than 100,000 unvaccinated children last year in Africa and Asia," because of complications, "had been eliminated from our shores." He added that he had been willing to address Mr. Kennedy's concerns about vaccine safety and transparency with a series of public meetings and by working with the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine, but was rebuffed.

"Undermining confidence in well- established vaccines that have met the high standards for quality, safety and effectiveness that have been in place for decades at F.D.A. is irresponsible, detrimental to public health, and a clear danger to our nation's health, safety and security," Dr. Marks wrote. He went on to express his desire for the current administration's damage to be limited. "My hope is that during the coming years, the unprecedented assault on scientific truth that has adversely impacted public health in our nation comes to an end so that the citizens of our country can fully benefit from the breadth of advances in medical science," Dr. Marks wrote.

Texas GOP Lawmakers Propose Amending Abortion Ban Linked to Deaths and a Rise in Sepsis Cases


The bill comes after ProPublica’s reporting on the deaths of three Texas women. It specifies that doctors don’t need to wait until an emergency is “imminent” to terminate pregnancies but leaves in steep penalties for those who violate the law.

Today was a great day. I got to go into the garden and dig the soil, listen to the birds in the area, smell the soil and just feel alive and content. I've spent the last 9 months working towards this goal after what was the biggest health scare I've ever had. It wasn't easy to dig, but it was satisfying nonetheless.
Listening to the hawk in the distance and the lovely songs of nearby smaller birds was the medicine I needed. Tired, but oh so content 😁

"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."

German spy agency believed CoVid-19 likely started in a laboratory in Wuhan.

The widely accepted theory is that Covid-19 emerged in bats and then jumped to humans, most likely through another animal, or "intermediary host."

As time worn on, scientists have not found a virus in either bats or another animal that matches the genetic make-up of Covid-19, leading some to doubt the theory.

Judge John Bates ruled last week that a member of DOGE must testify in a case challenging the group’s access at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the Departments of Labor and Health and Human Services. A federal judge of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, Bates said the deposition would be “necessary to determine the contours of the agency actions that plaintiffs challenge.” Musk has repeatedly called for Bates to be impeached, describing him as an “evil judge.” Andy Ogles, a House Republican from Tennessee, heeded Musk’s request, introducing articles of impeachment last month against Bates, whom he described as a “radical LGBTQ activist.”

#ElonMusk #Musk #Coup #Corruption #Trump #GOP #Politics #Health #Medicine #USPol #News
Text from article(edited for length):
...I think it’s important to state categorically and clearly: DOGE and Donald Trump are trying to shut down advanced medical research, especially cancer research, in the United States... Reporting is inevitably focused on canceled grants, dismissed researchers, bans on certain forms of communication, on and off-again bans on travel, grant review processes halted.

...Reporting has a hard time stepping back and evaluating the systemic picture, goals and inevitable outcomes. If you shut down cell respiration in an organism, the organism will die. And that’s a decent model for what’s happening in these organizations. Only it’s not just cell respiration – it’s every other foundational life process, along with whole digits and limbs simply being removed all at once and carted off for disposal.

My point is simple. We – and I’ve been guilty of this myself – get pulled into each strand of the story: travel, comms, paused grants. What’s important is this bigger picture. It has to be seen as such. They’re shutting down medicine/disease research in the federal government and the government-run and funded ecosystem of funding for most research throughout the United States. It’s not hyperbole. That’s happening. You can’t try to stop something unless you understand it. There’s that final point at which the body dies. It becomes a corpse. It can’t be revived.

Elon Musk’s DOGE Cuts Could Kill Your Dog

The ax has come down on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and that could have unexpectedly deadly consequences for your pets—not to mention your own health.

by Kate Aronoff
March 5, 2025

Text:
In the bright green algal blooms that form in warm weather, cyanobacteria produce a toxin called microcystin. Microcystin has been known to kill dogs, birds, and livestock and cause nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting in people. Just over a dozen people employed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration are tasked with monitoring algal blooms in the Great Lakes watershed, which more than 40 million people depend on for the water that comes out of their taps. The NOAA team passes information about harmful algal growth and toxicity on to municipal water treatment plants in time for them to protect people, pets, and businesses from being poisoned.
