I find it fascinating that @reuters enumerates several possible reasons why folks might not get this new #Covid #Vaccine wo considering as one possibility the fact that it's hella expensive.
@FAIR will have fun with that!
p.s. @dccc ! Do y'all really want my vote? Or is #BigPharma đź’µ enuf?

Seize the Hospitals! ...But How?
https://blackrosefed.org/seize-the-hospitals-but-how/
In May of 2023 several Black Rose / Rosa Negra (BRRN) militants organizing in the healthcare sector attended the Health Autonomy Convergence (HAC) in Durham, North Carolina. This is their collective reflection on and analysis of the event and of the prospects for radical labor organizing in healthcare more generally.

Thank you! Just turned 64 & am so grateful for good health & strength that enables me to do lots of things co-workers half my age don't want to try. That's a gift AND a privilege I want to leverage to help people less able.
There's plenty to critique about this administration, but #ageism is a specious distraction. Focus on real problems!

#Capitalist mag buries the lede all the way down in the final paragraph in their article about 'excess death' in the US 🤮🙄
"[Factors] include racial and economic inequalities, which combined with a weaker social security net and lack of health care access for all may help explain larger health and death disparities compared to European countries."

IT’S TIME TO STOP RACIALIZING BLOOD DONATION
A unified, non-racial approach to #blooddonation is more practical; it avoids further marginalization of Black people; and promotes a culture of inclusiveness rather than separation.

Dear Twitter family, here is a story of #medicalneglect and #medicalracism. On Monday (3/20), I woke up unable to feel my legs and with clear fluid seeping from my tailbone area. My doctor told me to rush to the ER. Therefore, I went to the ER at Loma Linda @LLUHealth (1)

When experimenters were the same race as people with #TemperomandibularDisorder, the #placebo response was ENHANCED. The same was true for sex!
Could this reflect a patient's previous negative experiences with

RACE-BASED MEDICINE IS A LEGACY OF SLAVERY
"Medicine needs to move into the 21st century by acknowledging that health differences between different ethnic groups are largely due to social inequality, not genetics."

“With all models, the accuracy was worse for Black men and women than their white peers. That means that Black Americans — who have a much higher probability of suffering from a stroke — are also less likely to get an accurate prediction of their stroke risk. In practice, that could lead to Black patients getting fewer resources for stroke prevention and treatment — even when they are more at risk — or unnecessary intervention for those at low risk.” https://www.statnews.com/2023/02/22/stroke-risk-machine-learning-models/ #MedicalRacism
