"This Doctor [Abu Safia] should have been safe by now, under protected status, and reveered by international leaders as an icon of Ethics. Instead he is still a hostage of Israel, which has abducted him without ever charging him."

#Israel targets #children so the children won't grow up to "become Hamas." (in Israel's eyes.)

Israel targets
#women to they can't bear more children.

See above.

Israel targets
#doctors and #medics so more #Palestinians will die.

See above.

Israel targets
#journalists so their #WarCrimes and #genocide will not be documented.

See above.

And the World sits on our collective ass and does fuck-all about it, letting Israel get away with it, just like we've done for the past 75+ years.

As Ontario grapples with the largest measles outbreak in decades, experts are calling on the Ford government to create an electronic immunization registry that would make it easier for people to get vaccinated and reduce the burden of vaccine­preventable diseases. #vaccinessavelives #vaccines #doctors #publichealth #medical #science #measles #Ontario #canada

The Globe and Mail · With Ontario measles cases rising, public health officials call for electronic vaccination registryBy Kristy Kirkup

A Trend I May Not Like

A few years ago, a very good primary care physician who I had been seeing for decades joined a national chain of medical providers called Village Medical. I have not noticed a drop off in the quality of services. But, there is a less personal feel than what I experienced with private practitioners for most of my life and I am a bit worried about the more distant future of medicine.

This morning, I received an email announcing my dentist is making the same move, joining a national group called High Point Dentistry. The email is written to reassure me: “So what’s changing? Just the name. We’re gaining added support, resources, and dental specialists that will allow us to enhance your experience.” The online ratings of other branches around the country are great. But, I don’t entirely trust online ratings.

Does this amount to a growing capitalist takeover of medicine by the U.S. corporate world? Will the future be more like “trickle down” medicine? Is less administrative work, reduced malpractice risk, or something else the incentive for physicians to join these chains rather than remaining independent? Even if the medical services are okay for now, I worry that may not remain the case after big business has captured a sizable majority of practices and decides to focus more on profit and less on patient care.

I spent today running from one doctor's appointment to the next. At the first one, I was told there was something deeply wrong with my heart, and had to live with that for about three hours. At the last on, they said, nah, you're heart's good. That first person was acting on an abudance of caution, but you're fine. And BTW the thing you came to me for? Probably not nearly as big a deal as you thought.

Hard day, but a good day!

#Ivermectin was found to help #COVID patients...

patients with parasites

#Ignorance spread "the cure" without the whole picture

Likewise, #VitaminA was found to help #Measles patients...

patients with vitamin A deficiency

And so, ignorance once again:

"West #Texas children treated for vitamin A toxicity as #medical #disinformation spreads alongside measles outbreak"

People think they know better than #scientists and #doctors, and harm themselves and their children
