We are not talking enough about this? An Idaho health department isn’t allowed to give #COVID19 vaccines anymore. The first in the nation.

If you think it can only happen "over there" it is already happening here. Orange Hospital directs staff to no longer provide abortions to patients without 'early pregnancy complications' https://t.co/UXlgfEPjN0 via @ABCaustralia

When President-Elect Donald Trump retakes office in January, #SRHR will face unprecedented threats at the federal level. Our new analysis outlines 10 ways we expect a second Trump administration to dismantle reproductive rights: https://t.co/nNoOfjH1xv #Election2024

Braun and Clarke's new open access paper on Big Q Qualitative* Reporting Guidelines for authors, reviewers, and editors. * "non-positivist research that is qualitative in its values and paradigm, data, and analytic and reporting practices" https://t.co/hpN7imHbea

Researchers question whether social media is the root cause of rising youth self harm, or a conveniently simple scapegoat for a complex problem. https://t.co/ysMbyblZWU

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

This paper shows the folly in underestimating the bird flu outbreak. A @Nature study on the H5N1 that infected a Tx dairy worker found that it killed lab ferrets, spreading to their respiratory & non-resp organs. And it spread through the air from one lab ferret to another.

The internet has been progressively diluted with AI-generated slop. Are medical records headed for the same fate? 🧵 I just published a perspective in @NEJM with @AdamRodmanMD and Arjun Manrai on why rushing AI into medical documentation could be a mistake.

Qld Labor plans to hand $1B in public $ to Mater Springfield to run a public hospital. It will be the only hospital in town, and it'll be banned from ever offering an abortion -or even most contraception. We need to stop outsourcing public hospitals to anti-choice institutions.

Doctors do not have an obligation to 'act apolitically and impartially in supporting the Government of the day'. We have an obligation to act apolitically and impartially to provide safe healthcare and avoid harm. Incarcerating children is deeply harmful.

And here is the letter from NT Health Dept to AMA NT's Dr Robert Parker, attempting to gag participants in Rural Medicine Australia conference. (Noting @CroakeyNews did not obtain the letter from anyone named in it). Suggests the NT Govt is v aware of the criticisms being made.

In the years I’ve been making Stuff The British Stole, the biggest lesson for me has been how much history hides behind politeness—polite plaques, polite speeches, polite monarchs. I don’t have Lidia Thorpe's life experience, and it’s not appropriate for me to offer commentary

“No part of this book may be used or reproduced in any manner for the purpose of training artificial intelligence technologies or systems.” good move from penguin

Our governments and hospitals are failing us. 14% of Covid deaths in NSW last year were from infections acquired in hospitals. And that information was not shared with the public until compelled by a FOI. https://t.co/lyR0ZgTikG

Not due to social media!

Read “The Good University” by Raewen Connell to understand why. Privatisation of a national asset & human right. Look at what Western Europe & Middle East are doing in this sphere & weep. They (and Ireland) understand the value and human right dimension. Neoliberalism fails again

Compelling Letter to the Editor in @theMJA by DEA members Dr Nikki Burdett and Dr Ben Dunne on how fossil fuels harm our health and how Australia risks creating a “sacrifice zone” with Middle Arm and Beetaloo that echoes “cancer alley” in Louisiana, USA. https://t.co/vaNGeTmkhB

we’re in the middle of a climate crisis and AI is sucking up entire nations worth of energy so privileged westerners can make horrible art & turn in plagiarized essays how is this a conversation

"The NSW Education Standards Authority has announced that teaching of the Aboriginal past prior to European arrival will be excluded from the Year 7–10 syllabus as of 2027." (Terra Nullius syllabus?) https://t.co/pD7q4sqMPX
