Went to a workshop this morning & one of the “fireside chat” speakers was former CDC Director Dr Mandy Cohen & it was painful to hear her say it’s going to take “generations” to undo the damage & rebuild CDC—she reflected on the amazing outbreak experts, eg Marburg experts, at CDC when she ran it

It feels like toxic masculinity is heavily influencing FDA decisions these days.
Joe Rogan influencing decisions on psychedelics; easing restrictions on peptides; expanding testosterone use for low libido in men…
“1) I’M IN THE BOAT, 2) I KNOW SOMEONE IN THE BOAT, and 3) I HAVE MADE IT TO SHORE FROM THAT BOAT.” This made me laugh… and then I thought: What if I know someone who fell out of the boat and is just flailing around helplessly? 😬

Kennedy is now claiming again when his uncle was President there were no issues and "we paid zero for chronic disease." Bullshit as @defendpublichealth.bsky.social covered here.
Kennedy currently explaining why he's not responsible for the #measles epidemic because European countries are doing worse and "Mennonites have not vaccinated since 1796". Falsely claims kids who died not treated properly at hospital.
Thanks for reminding me to pick up some earplugs before my next game

📢 Tornado sirens will sound later today in Minnesota and Wisconsin for the annual statewide drill day. The goal is to get people thinking about where they can find shelter when there is severe weather. There are two tornado drills today: The first is in the afternoon at 1:45 p.m., aimed at people in schools, offices, stores and other businesses. The second drill is in the evening at 6:45 p.m., aimed at people while they’re at home, along with second-shift workers.
thanks @mprnews.org
I’m so thankful that someone warned me about the monthly and annual tornado drill sirens. If I hadn’t known, I would have assumed the worst given *gestures around wildly*
