Noticing something about this article. Compare

Group 1-------------

"We need race info to save lives"
-- Director of public health association

"Nobody can act responsibly when we erase past and present injustices"
-- Medical historian, org about ethics, history, & public health

Group 2 -------------

"No DEI-related words allowed"
-- RFK

"It's time to rethink our words," "race words are so divisive," "these words close people's minds"
-- Dean at WSTLU

Important note: a dean is not a regular faculty member. A dean is someone who chose to wear suits and learn #business jargon so they could make a lot more money than they could as a mere #professor. Deans have different pay structures, incentives, and professional-social groups than regular faculty. In other words, deans are #management, not #labor.

Very sad news! Listen, measles is one of the most highly contagious viruses on planet earth.

As a soon-to-be Naturopathic Physician, I understand that people may have questions about vaccines. That’s reasonable.

But to outright promote misinformation so much so that a persons body becomes a vector for spreading a virus that kills another human being, that’s just unacceptable to me and completely preventable.

So what conclusions can we logically draw from this? For me it’s that #RFK lied through his teeth at his confirmation hearing, and almost certainly most if not all of the senators knew it. Whatever he said was 100% performative. What I really don’t understand is the pulling of the meeting for the flu shot, it seemed to me there was no controversy associated with that. med-mastodon.com/@luckytran/11
