We use the prescribing cascade to deal with gun violence in the US

In a prescribing cascade, instead of removing the source of the symptom, we prescribe meds to mask the problem

In the US, Instead of removing guns, we waste money on Kevlar backpacks and bullet resistant tables

Let’s stop throwing pills at the problem
Let’s stop throwing Kevlar at the problem

Let’s. Remove. Guns.

Ted Cruz’s daughter is 14. I was 15 when I was shot. Hurt children shouldn’t be political. I send all my love to her right now for fast healing of mind and body. #ptsd #childrenfirst

Und wenn dann wieder eintausend Menschen jeden Tag sterben, machen wir wieder monatelang zu, weil es dann doch nicht mehr anders geht.

Wir müssen die Schulen zügig wieder öffnen. Viele Familien stehen am Rande ihrer Belastbarkeit. Eine Generation Corona können wir uns nicht leisten, aus sozialen, bildungspolitischen, gesundheitlichen(!) und übrigens auch wirtschaftlichen Gründen nicht. #childrenfirst https://twitter.com/BR24/status/1355464253256458241
