Last Notes npub1nsst8n7yua80tkzf4c2su6xdce0tzw4pd0qnl2yjknj9qx8d0avq5srhjk Jen, MPH :verified: @nprofile…u38c “A U.S. Citizen was also temporarily detained by Border Patrol agents, before being released and taken to the hospital to receive medical attention for injuries sustained during his detention.” They drove him away (he was staff at the facility) and they fractured his wrist! The article also talks about ICE pepper spraying someone who was already on his stomach on the ground. npub1nsst8n7yua80tkzf4c2su6xdce0tzw4pd0qnl2yjknj9qx8d0avq5srhjk Jen, MPH :verified: @nprofile…fecl S. 323 would: -make abortion a felony equiv to “the homicide of a person born alive” -allow 30 yrs imprisonment for having or aiding one -prohibit transporting a minor out of state to get one -restrict forms of contraception -restrict IVF by defining a fertilized egg or zygote as human -ban possession of drugs & substances that can be used for one -criminalize info about abortion, including a website or call -force public school students to watch an anti-abortion propaganda video npub1nsst8n7yua80tkzf4c2su6xdce0tzw4pd0qnl2yjknj9qx8d0avq5srhjk Jen, MPH :verified: @nprofile…r5mx it hit me this morning that the shutdown will be good for the states that have important elections coming up! Let’s all get to work! Nov 4 election: -New Jersey and Virginia: new Governors -CA: Prop 50 to redraw Congressional map! -Texas: US House seat, 18th District (Houston) -New York’s Manhattan: new Mayor -Pennsylvania: 3 state Supreme Court seats (out of 7) -Wisconsin: a tie-breaking seat on the state Supreme Court Pick one on these races and start volunteering for it! npub1nsst8n7yua80tkzf4c2su6xdce0tzw4pd0qnl2yjknj9qx8d0avq5srhjk Jen, MPH :verified: @nprofile…9ag4 TAKE ACTION from People’s CDC COVID vaccines are under attack. They must remain universally accessible. RFK Jr is attempting to end access to this important layer of protection from COVID infections. He must be held accountable for his intentional destruction of public health services CALL Congress, both House and Senate. Ask: save COVID vaccines and remove RFK Jr bc of his destructive actions toward public health Also, he fired the new CDC Director! npub1nsst8n7yua80tkzf4c2su6xdce0tzw4pd0qnl2yjknj9qx8d0avq5srhjk Jen, MPH :verified: @nprofile…czsf “Over a million people are dead, and the pandemic continues to sicken, disable, and kill. Five years on, it is not like the common cold. It’s akin to having another year-round flu epidemic always with us. …Remember, we had the highest per-capita excess deaths among the G7. Yet it is hard to believe that in 2025, we have pundits keen to “look back at a deadly pandemic and ask, ‘could we have done even less?’” Well said! Any mistakes made are not a reason to do even less! npub1nsst8n7yua80tkzf4c2su6xdce0tzw4pd0qnl2yjknj9qx8d0avq5srhjk Jen, MPH :verified: @nprofile…9ag4 this is not good, he says they will attend ACIP’s scheduled June 25 meeting, they can and will change vaccine eligibility and what is covered by your insurance. Do not delay in getting any vaccines you still need, such as covid boosters or a second dose of the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine if you were born before 1990. npub1nsst8n7yua80tkzf4c2su6xdce0tzw4pd0qnl2yjknj9qx8d0avq5srhjk Jen, MPH :verified: @nprofile…5k2y bookmarking this one! Love the cocaine analogy! “Coincidentally, Natalie Ponte on LinkedIn posted today: try replacing “ai” with “cocaine” in all the posts you read about it. it’s pretty funny Let’s try it! “My cocaine skeptic friends are all nuts, they’ll be left behind.” “Cocaine isn’t going to replace you. Someone using cocaine is going to replace you.” Checks out. Cocaine doesn’t make you a business genius — it just makes you think you’re a business genius. Same for AI.” npub1nsst8n7yua80tkzf4c2su6xdce0tzw4pd0qnl2yjknj9qx8d0avq5srhjk Jen, MPH :verified: @nprofile…ns93 yes! This is such a good point! They tried having a smoking section in the back! More people might remember that restaurants and bars used to have smoking sections too, as if they could contain the smoke! @nprofile…vdm6 npub1nsst8n7yua80tkzf4c2su6xdce0tzw4pd0qnl2yjknj9qx8d0avq5srhjk Jen, MPH :verified: @nprofile…vdm6 thank you for sharing your story, so that more people can be aware! So many people fly when they are sick. When I had to travel frequently for work, I used to get sick often after a trip and now I know why! npub1nsst8n7yua80tkzf4c2su6xdce0tzw4pd0qnl2yjknj9qx8d0avq5srhjk Jen, MPH :verified: @nprofile…vdm6 #MaskUp while traveling! Some people have the misconception that airplanes are safe because they filter the air, but filtering is not done the entire time and you can get sick from air before it’s filtered. “CDC was able to determine that measles spread during air travel in at least one of those situations, the spokesperson said. That is usually based on connecting confirmed cases of measles among airline passengers sitting near each other.” This is in-flight, not airport transmission npub1nsst8n7yua80tkzf4c2su6xdce0tzw4pd0qnl2yjknj9qx8d0avq5srhjk Jen, MPH :verified: Covid Vaccine Access is Under Attack Public comment to FDA’s VRBPAC is open until May 23, 11:59 pm Eastern. Easy to follow instructions in the link Asks: -Ensure an updated COVID vaccine by Fall 2025 -Updated COVID vaccines for all ages -More frequent boosting (every 6 mo) & more frequent updates -Ensure vaccine manufacturers anticipate future dominant strains of SARS-CoV-2. https://peoplescdc.substack.com/p/vaccine-access-is-under-attack-act https://bird.makeup/users/peoplescdc/statuses/1924827993785897197 #COVID #COVID19 #MaskUp #YallMasking #LongCovid #vaccines #USPol npub1nsst8n7yua80tkzf4c2su6xdce0tzw4pd0qnl2yjknj9qx8d0avq5srhjk Jen, MPH :verified: @nprofile…48vs I’m not seeing much satire in the OP? It is a fairly accurate description. Multiple masked ICE agents detained a mayor and assaulted members of Congress. We are actually an embattled country now, Trump keeps threatening not to comply with court orders and has detained an elected officials. @nprofile…tqt4 npub1nsst8n7yua80tkzf4c2su6xdce0tzw4pd0qnl2yjknj9qx8d0avq5srhjk Jen, MPH :verified: Federal workers at some HHS agencies have been told to get rid of any signage and digital content related to COVID. This is very 1984. If you can’t mention it, you can’t fund it and you can’t have outbreaks of it. https://www.reddit.com/r/DeptHHS/comments/1jzyl2d/asked_to_scrub_all_covid_content/ #COVID #COVID19 #CovidIsNotOver #COVIDisAirborne #MaskUp #LongCovid #HHS #RFK https://cdn.masto.host/medmastodoncom/media_attachments/files/114/346/363/069/700/849/original/e9cef15b7d1aec56.jpeg npub1nsst8n7yua80tkzf4c2su6xdce0tzw4pd0qnl2yjknj9qx8d0avq5srhjk Jen, MPH :verified: @nprofile…vdm6 definitely not. The firings cost us more money, they’re wrongful terminations and being fought in court. There are many steps that need to be taken to fire federal employees, it ensures that they are not being retaliated against unfairly. Reorganizations, such as eliminating branches, requires a federal register notice to alert the public prior to taking action. Trump and DOGE could do this legally, but part of the unlawfulness is to test what they can get away with. Call your reps! npub1nsst8n7yua80tkzf4c2su6xdce0tzw4pd0qnl2yjknj9qx8d0avq5srhjk Jen, MPH :verified: @nprofile…vdm6 “Scientists in the labs were surprised that they were laid off so abruptly, a CDC official said. Even during government-wide shutdowns from funding lapses, the department would at least have plans for making sure essential labs could be run or shut down properly, the official said.” Essential employees weren’t supposed to be RIFed according to the OPM memo. DOGE doesn’t care about any rules though, their real job is to slash and burn. npub1nsst8n7yua80tkzf4c2su6xdce0tzw4pd0qnl2yjknj9qx8d0avq5srhjk Jen, MPH :verified: @nprofile…9ag4 there are more people at this protest than were at Trump’s inauguration! npub1nsst8n7yua80tkzf4c2su6xdce0tzw4pd0qnl2yjknj9qx8d0avq5srhjk Jen, MPH :verified: @nprofile…vdm6 I remember there were stories like this during his first term too. It’s so sad this is happening again and at an accelerated pace. npub1nsst8n7yua80tkzf4c2su6xdce0tzw4pd0qnl2yjknj9qx8d0avq5srhjk Jen, MPH :verified: @nprofile…6vl3 👏👏👏 round of applause for Senator Bennet! npub1nsst8n7yua80tkzf4c2su6xdce0tzw4pd0qnl2yjknj9qx8d0avq5srhjk Jen, MPH :verified: @nprofile…r5mx Trump’s supporters say they can’t afford eggs, yet they can afford to buy fake money $TRUMP $MELANIA #memecoin “CNN noted that the release of the meme coin had raised “serious ethics concerns,” but those who participate in the industry were less gentle. One wrote: “Trump’s sh*tcoin release has caused possibly the greatest overnight loss of credibility in presidential history. He made $60B. Great for Trump family, terrible for this country and hopes we had for the Trump presidency.”” npub1nsst8n7yua80tkzf4c2su6xdce0tzw4pd0qnl2yjknj9qx8d0avq5srhjk Jen, MPH :verified: @nprofile…r5mx not surprised Trump brags about tampering with the election. “After praising Elon Musk, he told the crowd “He was very effective. He knows those computers better than anybody. Those vote counting computers. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide. So it was pretty good…. Thank you to Elon.”” npub1nsst8n7yua80tkzf4c2su6xdce0tzw4pd0qnl2yjknj9qx8d0avq5srhjk Jen, MPH :verified: @nprofile…g9jh -4 in 10 adults infected with SARS-CoV-2 at least one of the chief symptoms of ME/CFS -1 in 22 all diagnostic criteria for ME/CFS. -Adults infected developed ME/CFS 5 times as often as did uninfected adults, showing that ME/CFS is truly one of the long-term possible consequences of covid infection. -More likely to be middle-aged, White, women, and from rural areas. They were also less likely to have been vaccinated. @nprofile…kw96 @nprofile…x8wa @nprofile…e9py @nprofile…schw @nprofile…rwq9 @nprofile…tsd9 #Covid npub1nsst8n7yua80tkzf4c2su6xdce0tzw4pd0qnl2yjknj9qx8d0avq5srhjk Jen, MPH :verified: @nprofile…9ag4 plus, the entire parasitic brain worm issue. Seems like a pretty bad idea to appoint someone who has been so problematic and spewing public health misinformation for decades. npub1nsst8n7yua80tkzf4c2su6xdce0tzw4pd0qnl2yjknj9qx8d0avq5srhjk Jen, MPH :verified: @npub1lzz…jhl3 not having a plan to replace the ACA after 9 years of saying he would was another good clip. Trump still only has “the concept of a plan”. npub1nsst8n7yua80tkzf4c2su6xdce0tzw4pd0qnl2yjknj9qx8d0avq5srhjk Jen, MPH :verified: @npub1alm…57vz it’s basically “stop and frisk” in disguise. npub1nsst8n7yua80tkzf4c2su6xdce0tzw4pd0qnl2yjknj9qx8d0avq5srhjk Jen, MPH :verified: @npub1alm…57vz and it won’t stop criminals from committing crimes. Instead it’ll just cause people to think mask wearers are all criminals. npub1nsst8n7yua80tkzf4c2su6xdce0tzw4pd0qnl2yjknj9qx8d0avq5srhjk Jen, MPH :verified: @npub1alm…57vz this is a very important message. I boosted this story yesterday and am boosting again for visibility. Data indicate we’re in for a bad winter with our healthcare system being overloaded. #GetBoosted #MaskUp #covid #covid19 #COVIDisAirborne #CovidIsNotOver npub1nsst8n7yua80tkzf4c2su6xdce0tzw4pd0qnl2yjknj9qx8d0avq5srhjk Jen, MPH :verified: @npub1lzz…jhl3 this would be a gross misappropriation of funds, which is obviously illegal. However, I’m not sure the Trump Administration would care. npub1nsst8n7yua80tkzf4c2su6xdce0tzw4pd0qnl2yjknj9qx8d0avq5srhjk Jen, MPH :verified: @npub1alm…57vz almost the entire rest of the UN voted for a ceasefire! npub1nsst8n7yua80tkzf4c2su6xdce0tzw4pd0qnl2yjknj9qx8d0avq5srhjk Jen, MPH :verified: Yes, everyone should get an updated #Covid19 vaccine “Fewer infections mean less transmission. Less transmission means fewer cases. Fewer cases means fewer serious cases and deaths. That’s math. “While Covid vaccines don’t “block” transmission completely as we once hoped, they do reduce the likelihood of transmission. “And even if I do get infected, a recent vaccination has been shown to lower the risk of transmission to household contacts.” #COVID #CovidIsNotOver https://www.statnews.com/2023/10/13/updated-covid-vaccine-for-everyone/
