Israel Is Blocking 11 American Doctors and Nurses From Leaving Gaza The Israeli government is also preventing another group of health workers from entering the enclave, as thousands of Palestinians seek treatment.

🚨 11 US doctors & nurses are being blocked from leaving Gaza.

They hail from TX, CA, FL, CO, OH, and AZ.

Others trying to *enter* Gaza are being blocked too — including a veteran who saved Sen. Duckworth’s life.

Sources say Israel gave no clear reason for denials, beyond referring to “incidents.”

It is now legal for doctors and nurses to violate patients’ rights, if they’re trans.

H5 has long hx of causing severe/fatal human infections, but in this case the virus had mutations that increase potential for PtP spread. It’s a dangerous situation. USG needs to accelerate vax development & ramp up H5 testing

I have had the pleasure of visiting New Orleans multiple times. The people, the culture, and the vibrant spirit of the city make it one of the most memorable places in the world to visit. It is heartbreaking to see such a wonderful community shaken by acts of violence.

Happy New Years!!

Vaccination rates decline and cases of whooping cough skyrocket.
Who could ever have seen that coming?
We will see more of this and worse if RFK Jr and his cronies are confirmed to positions of power in the incoming administration.
We have been warned. #PedSky #MedSky #VaccinesWork

I still cannot believe Blue Cross Blue Shield was considering not paying for anesthesia if the case goes longer than expected. They sit on a hill of money and do not care about patients.

Dr. Peter Hotez can tell you better than me scientifically and personally that autism is NOT caused by vaccines. His daughter Rachel, has autism. He wrote a book about it.

The normalisation of these avoidable tragedies speaks to a hardening of the American heart, and to deep, deep misogyny.
