Graham Platner claims he's changed. Why is he still using the r-word? The left have their own ableism problems to grapple with, not just Republicans.

Using the r-word is just bad. Democrats should have higher standards for themselves than Trump when it comes to using a slur that MANY disabled people find offensive. Looking at you, Graham Platner. New from me at @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Also: the people who know and try to do something about it are frequently punished in extreme and disproportionate ways.

Taking Tylenol during pregnancy has no link to autism, new study finds Trump has pushed unfounded claims of Tylenol use in pregnancy being tied to ‘a very increased risk of autism’

Taking Tylenol during pregnancy appears to have no link to later autism diagnoses. This study is one benefit of having a robust health system :) my latest:

In this case, the question is, is the patient well enough to return to work or school?

In this case, though, the test result is a big part of care. It's positive - absolutely no argument

Thank you ❤️

For sure. In this case, it's been fewer than 10 days (maybe a week?), so we're still being careful

That's the kind of case that I think opens a lot of debate! But that's now the context here. My point being, resolution of symptoms seems to play little role in whether someone tests positive

Yeah the control has nothing to do with it (other than, ideally, being present)

Right, contagiousness involves a lot of different factors even beyond virions. But this seems like a classic example of someone who definitely still has Covid

Right but again I'm not talking about infectiousness - I'm talking about "you definitely have Covid"

9 hours ago 0 0 1 0

But I'm not talking about infectiousness per se; there's a host of factors determining whether someone is contagious and whether someone else gets sick. But as a rough measure of "yes you have a lot of virus in that sample" - that's not the case? Especially if there are multiple tests?

So once again a man started a wildly successful harassment campaign against a female celebrity who didn’t actually do anything and the internet swallowed it full throated, and the whole thing is revealed to be concocted horseshit he can’t muster anything more than “sorry that happened I guess”

I can see these as reasons why it's not failproof. But you're saying the strength of the line has nothing to do with amount of virus at all?
