Over decades the World Health Organization developed an internal structure primed to help people in countries with very limited resources. It has been assumed the rich countries would take care of themselves. Why don't the rich countries do that? Why doesn't US madate clean air?

I hate all the “Netanyahu trying to drag Biden into wider conflict” and “US getting drawn into” rhetoric. Washington has plenty of agency here and our government is making very bad choices on Middle East policy. That these choices are long habit makes them no less active.

The Biden administration is readying a new package of tank shells, mortars and vehicles in one of the largest gifts to Israel since Oct 7. Don't believe the malarkey that Biden is ''concerned'' when US weapons are used to annihilate all life in Gaza.

There is a false idea taking hold that private property can't be subjected to indoor air quality standards, only public buildings. Building safety codes are the norm everywhere and they impose ventilation safety requirements, enforced by town building inspectors. Start there.

Housing, showers, electricity: These are the outposts the IDF is building in central Gaza. I thought American media was reporting Biden told Israelis not to do this. What would make them listen? haaretz.com/israel-news/se…

Was talking last night with someone with 2 PhDs in fields unrelated to science or health. I asked what would be their reaction to hearing warnings there is a new dangerous pathogen that is 'airborne'.

'I'd close all the windows.'

Public health needs more than scientists.

Kelly What we're up against.
The new 'eugenics.'
Cold-blooded.
Runs thru social media, research in medicine, on & on. Left out.
Few age to death without disability.
Then, there are the rest of us who are not necessarily old.

Israeli doctors turning into sadists:
'A report published by the agency includes accounts by detainees of abuse that included beatings by interrogators and doctors working with the military, as well as attacks by dogs and threats of rape and murder.''

The leader of the free world telling Israel not to attack Haifa, its own third largest city.

Presumably he'll be telling the UK not to attack Manchester next.

For 6 months Israel has been bombing children and shooting them in the head, depriving them of food, water and medicine. Today Israeli propagandists are circulating photos of Gazans at the beach to deny the genocide. If Americans don't stop Israel, Gaza's children will not live.

Explanation of why Jha walked over his grandmother's face to be on television 24/7 and sold out public health to front for the Biden re-election campaign ⬇️

Ben Gvir and Netanyahu are arming and encouraging settler vigilantes. The Israeli equivalent of the KKK in the 1920s. Shameful, disgraceful, despicable.

''It has taken the Jewish state’s savagery to break decades of silence about its history of crimes against humanity. Historian Robert Pape has called the onslaught against Gaza “one of the most intense civilian punishment campaigns in history.”

'What’s left out of the nonstop discussions of campus safety is that there isn’t a single safe campus left in Gaza. US bombs destroyed almost every kindergarten, school and university and killed 100 Palestinian academics. Every Gaza campus is a graveyard.'

''If you want to get ahead in life, I have advice: keep your mouth shut about Palestine. Or say something nuanced (I’m just paraphrasing a former Mossad agent here ) no Palestinian over 4 is an innocent civilian so they all deserve to be starved to death.'

From Dec 24 2023 to Jan 15 2024, 4,810 people 65 and older lost their lives to COVID. But the alarm that would attend plane crashes was absent. Flu also killed 1,201 seniors and RSV killed 126. This will happen at the end of 2024 without air purifiers.

''The death toll was shocking, as were reports of chaos in nursing homes. Seniors suffering from isolation, depression, untreated illness. Around 900,000 older adults have died of COVID. They are 3 out of every 4 who have perished.'

''Without independent witnesses to war, atrocities can be enacted with impunity on all sides. Israel must open Gaza to journalists, and Israel’s allies must insist on it. Justice and democracy depend on it.''
