Many anti-vaxxers believe that Covid can be treated simply by tilting one’s head down and giving the pulmonary virus a stern talking-to it won’t forget anytime soon.

You need to ingest over 100 pounds of the stuff in a 24-hour period to even have a shot at curing Covid, making this a functionally impossible cure.

In 1996, one vial of Humalog insulin was $21. In 2022, that same vial of Humalog insulin is $320+. One vial of insulin keeps me alive for about a week. Without insulin, I die a horrific death in around 48 hours. We need federal price caps on insulin.

I can’t stop thinking about 2-year-old Aiden McCarthy who lost both his parents in the span of a minute because some politicians value weapons of war more than people’s lives.

@archerandy Consider this: I’ve been using the same, unchanged insulin since 1996. The ONLY thing that’s changed is the price has increased over 15x its release price. Ill happily pass on “sick people being extorted to fund PhRMA’s pipe-dream ‘cures’” every day of the week.

@mehio_rami Whole genome sequencing works beautifully as a first-tier screening test for >40 established repeat expansion conditions. #maximizewgs #fullyfeatured #innovation #GeneChat

This is an abomination. Because they do not understand science or medicine, they will come after IUDs and "morning after" pills. And what about IVF? Are all of the embryos to be kept frozen forever? Or mandatorily donated? According to OK lawmakers, discarding them is illegal.
Breaking News: Oklahoma lawmakers passed a bill banning nearly all abortions starting at fertilization, which would make it the nation’s strictest abortion law.

It has been 84 days since our friend, Brittney Griner, has been wrongfully detained in Russia. It is time for her to come home. @WhiteHouse, we are paying attention and we are counting on you. #WeAreBG
