The states are stepping in where the feds have failed to act, spinning up their own pharma production capacity to create a #PublicOption for medicine - think of California's move to produce #insulin and other meds:

Or Massachusetts's #MassBiologics, the "only non-profit, FDA-licensed manufacturer of vaccines" in the USA, which sells its generic #tetanus and #diptheria vaccines nationwide:

There is social pressure to disregard safety protections such as wearing a #mask or elbow bumping as opposed to shaking hands.

It seems like a sort of tribal affirmation "I am not afraid of no stinking microbes and our friendship is worth more than any increment of risk this close contact entails".

And with that, millions and millions of people have contracted #diseases including #bubonic #plague #smallpox #ebola #meningitis #polio #cholera #diptheria #pertussis #covid #influenza #pneumonia #tuberculosis #mpox #malaria #hepatitis

Extra credit: which diseases in that list are NOT contracted by close contact?

Just what the world needs. More #antibioticresistant pathogen.
This time, #diptheria

Paid #sickleave is really a no-brainer. #covid #influenza #rsv are on the rise. We have concerns now with #polio #diptheria amd #MDRTB.

When people are forced to go to work or face eviction or send their kids to school in rags, they are going to go in to the shop or office and spread the infection around.

It should not take the threat of a #RailroadStrike #railroad cars have limited #ventilation #COVIDisAirborne

This is not rocket science.

The government has evidently learned a lot about epidemic control from its pandemic experience

Has anyone seen #SuellaBraverman?
There's #diptheria about.

Why do protection seekers have diphtheria even?

All people coming to the UK should be screened for their health on arrival

The duty of care belongs to the authorities and the Home Office is failing in this

The 10 top topics on the #BBC website and nowhere anything to do with #diptheria #suelabraverman #homeoffice or even about the latest #riots in #brussels after the #Belgium v #Morocco game. It looks that the #BBC is yesterday’s news service or they are completely mandhandled by a “hidden source”

Unbelievable! The #bbc has rparty ported nothing about the #diptheria cases all day. Complete silence about this and #SuelaBraverman. Why? The #bbc it seems has lost its credibility if they are forced to maintain radio siilence on the #tory party! Are they scared of them?

#SuellaBraverman MUST #resign. The #homeoffice is in utter disarray. Is #rishisunak the weakest #PM we ever had? He has no guts to stand up to what he proclaimed. The #ERG has the upper hand and we are in serious danger to suffer what we suffered under #davidcameron. He could not either stand up to his #backbenchers so we ended up with #brexit ##AsylumSeekers #asylum #diptheria

They're at it again.

The #conservatives have replicated the #MattHancock Plan, which led to tens of thousands of needless Covid deaths in care homes, this time by spreading #diptheria across the nation. All courtesy of #SuellaBraverman and her compassion-free disdain for vulnerable asylum seekers.

Whatever your politics, this lot cannot be trusted to keep us in any way safe.

#immigrants #Diptheria It seems that the outbreak of diptheria that the fragrant Swella Braverman imsisted didn’t exist in her luxury immigration centre in Manston has in fact now claimed two lives and resulted in panicked relocations around the country to reduce the overcrowding… #GTTO is urgently required..

Lots in the press about outbreaks of diphtheria in Europe, which reminds me of my artwork “Clean Linen” (2018) which comprises an antique French nightgown embroidered with and impregnated with the DNA of #diptheria, plague, TB and scarlet fever. https://annadumitriu.co.uk/portfolio/linen-from-the-field/#cleanlinen #bioart
