To get confirmed, Overton will have to win approval from a narrowly Republican-led #Senate & face questions from the Senate #health committee. Its chair, #Republican Sen #BillCassidy, a physician from Louisiana, has been a vocal critic of some of #Trump’s actions to sow doubt in #vaccinations, including his recent order.

Overton has been critical of #abortion pills &, if confirmed, would be positioned to roll back #FDA rules that made the pills more accessible. US abortion opponents have expressed frustration that the #Trump admin hasn’t moved to stem the flow of #AbortionMedication prescribed online, a situation they view as undermining state #AbortionBans.

At an Oval Office event to promote that order, she stood by #Trump as he FALSELY suggested the number or timing of #vaccines could play a role in rising rates of #autism spectrum disorder, even as #scientific consensus & decades of #studies have firmly concluded there is NO LINK.

In recent months, she has appeared with #Trump to unveil major projects, including some of his “most favored nation” deals with drug companies to lower prices to those of other developed countries & his recent controversial #vaccine order, which sought to split the combined measles, mumps & rubella, or #MMR, vaccine into 3 separate immunizations AGAINST the advice of medical groups.

A medical doctor & deputy director of the White House Domestic #Policy Council who worked on several of Trump’s 2nd-term “health” initiatives, Overton has become a trusted figure in the admin & a champion of Trump’s goals [ #disenfranchisement of the #poor & #eugenics ].

Mental Health Workers Say Algorithmic Triage Is Hurting Patients
"To understand some of the ways that AI is affecting mental health care, Capital & Main spoke with more than a dozen therapists, clinicians, academic experts and advocates in Wisconsin and California, who said the hasty integration of the technology is eroding patients’ access to timely and appropriate mental health care. While AI is changing work in many professions, its use can have particularly high stakes in the mental health field, workers said, by creating barriers to care for patients who are already struggling with major depression, bipolar disorder and other serious conditions."

CW: CW: Eugenics During WWII
I'm still making my way through "My Opposition" which I started years ago, but got more into Klemperer and other sources.
Kellner's emphasis is less personal than Klemperer's. He takes on the mantle of witness to posterity so he's very focused on providing evidence of Nazi crimes and how many were going along with them.
In this entry, he describes what we later learned was Aktion T4. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aktion_T4
It's easy to get abled people to go along with sterilizing, warehousing, and killing disabled people. Then once the machinery is set up for that...

#TIL what #TESCREAL means. I'm impressed by the explanatory power of conceiving of this cluster of #ideologies as an #interconnected #aggregate which then get used to justify #harm
I feel like a lightbulb went on and that I understand the current state we're all in a bit better now.
Highly recommend starting with the @wikipedia article, which covers the #concept and some of the #criticism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TESCREAL
Thanks go to #Bhante #Sujato (https://sujato.me/) for making me aware of the term.

#Racism is real, distinct races are not. There is only one human race.
#Genetics is #science. #Eugenics is #pseudoscience. It’s like #astronomy and #astrology. They seem related, but they are not.

People treat the disabled as invisible.
They look past us.
They ignore us.
Rashawn Williams has Down Syndrome and was lost.
He approached Metro workers and no one helped him.
He ended up in their “refuge area” for 6 days because no one checked on him.
He survived but deserved so much better:

"We force animals to adapt to the constraints of farming modelled on the mass production of manufactured goods, whereas farming should respect the ethological needs of animals. This is a transgression because we grant ourselves an absolute right that we do not have. This violence towards animals is a condemnation of us. Yet our relationship with animals could be an opportunity to think about a way of inhabiting the Earth that makes coexistence with other species possible. This requires new foundations for ethics and politics."

Eugenics and Scientific Racism
Eugenics is an inaccurate theory linked to historical and present-day forms of discrimination, racism, ableism and colonialism. It has persisted in policies and beliefs around the world, including the United States.

Rodney Taylor is a disabled double amputee who spent over a year in ICE custody.
They grabbed him days before he was due to receive new prosthetic legs
The ACLU has filed a lawsuit on his behalf.
He was denied medical care, accommodations and his prosthetics.
He’s finally out of the camp, but his health will never be the same.
We must keep raising awareness about how disabled people are treated by ICE and the disabling nature of these cruel detention facilities

Begging folks to wake up and realize that the massive increase in food borne illness and infectious diseases is not an accident.
This was always the goal.
The regime removed protections because they want “the vulnerable” to die.
Fascism and eugenics go hand in hand.

“If it were really that bad you would have more support”.
People believe that when you’re disabled, help magically appears.
That when you get worse, you get more help and/or funding.
The reality is far different.
There’s little to no help.
We live in legislated poverty.
When there’s a setback, no one comes to save you.
We rely on community care and mutual aid because the capitalist system views us as expendable.

Disability will happen to almost everyone.
Most people are only temporarily abled.
It’s not a moral failing.
It’s not a choice people make.
The human body is frail.
It only takes one illness, accident or stroke of bad luck to forever change your health.

It also calls for the development of more alternative adjuvants to aluminum. Adjuvants are ingredients added to #vaccines that help the body produce an immune response to offer protection from #diseases.
Some high-level #FDA ofcls last year believed it would be infeasible to take aluminum adjuvants out of vaccines & couldn’t be done on a practical timeline.#Trump #RFKJr #PublicHealth #medicine #ConspiracyTheories #disinformation #affordability #CostOfLiving #law #policy #insurance #eugenics

Under the draft order, the White House is calling for proposed changes to come within 90 days from the health dept’s Task Force on Safer Childhood Vaccines — a long-defunct panel resurrected last year to the cheers of #AntiVax activists. The task force should “assess the ideal timing & sequencing of all core childhood #vaccines” & adjust the childhood schedule “as appropriate,” the draft says.

The new draft explicitly acknowledges that the #Trump administration’s earlier #vaccine directives have been “delayed due to litigation” & instructs federal agencies to advance the new recommendations “to the fullest extent allowable by law.”

A federal judge in March blocked the admin from implementing those changes, siding with major medical organizations that argued “Health” Secy #RFKJr had unlawfully changed vaccine policy & improperly reconstituted the federal panel of outside experts that advises the government on #vaccines.

…The potential order obtained by WaPo would represent the latest effort by the #Trump admin to sharply reshape the nation’s childhood immunization policies. In January, the admin moved to reduce the number of #vaccines routinely recommended for all #children, bypassing the government’s traditional process for changing the schedule.

🚨🚨 Trump admin EO will upend nation’s #ChildhoodVaccineSchedule 🚨🚨
Trump has pushed to narrow which #vaccines are given to children & split shots into multiple #doctor appointments.
The #Trump admin is preparing an executive order that would upend decades of #federal guidance on which vaccines are given to #children & asks #states to reconsider #school vaccine requirements.
