    "The blockade is warfare.”

    That’s how Greg Levi describes #US policy toward Cuba after traveling to the island and seeing its impact firsthand.

    Levi, a #socialist candidate for the #USSenate in #Ohio, talked with BotB journalist Liz Oliva Fernández about what he saw in Cuban #hospitals and communities, why he believes US citizens don’t know much about Cuba, and why he refuses to stay silent despite the political risks.

    He also opens up about his working-class roots, his experience in the US military, his criticism of US democracy and why he chose to run for Senate as an independent socialist.

    U.S. Rep. Carlos Giménez (R-FL) says Cuba’s healthcare system “sucks” and “doesn’t work,” pointing to hospitals without #medicine and deteriorating conditions.

    But this criticism leaves out a major part of the story: the policies Giménez has championed are the reason why Cuba’s #hospitals are collapsing. #US #EconomicWarfare has restricted Cuba’s ability to obtain medicines, #medical equipment, fuel and other resources needed to keep its #healthcare system running.

  4. From yesterday, at Saanich Peninsula ER.
    Poor public health management on a poster. Surgical masks are better than no masks but they're not strong enough protection against airborne contagious illnesses. If people wait for symptoms to start wearing masks in hospitals - it's already too late. Many airborne contagious illnesses are asymptomatic so people who don't feel sick/look physically sick are still more than able to infect others. Stop the fast public spread of more contagious airborne illnesses by wearing at least an KN95 or N95 mask in every medical setting & anywhere you're indoors with a bunch of strangers.

  5. "A sweeping investigation by #TheAustralian has detailed a series of allegations that #antisemitism has intensified across #Australia’s #healthcare system since #October7, prompting some #Jewish #patients to conceal their identity when seeking #medicaltreatment.

    The report includes testimony from patients and #medical professionals who allege that Jewish patients were, in some cases, deliberately mistreated while receiving care. The claims include repeated and painful attempts to insert intravenous lines, failure to provide pain relief to women after childbirth and offensive remarks by #medicalstaff.

    As a result, the investigation found that many #Jews are afraid to seek care at #hospitals and #clinics, while those who do often conceal their Jewish identity out of concern that it could affect the way they are treated."

  11. I must admit I’m enjoying all the #RFKjr takedowns floating around the net, but I am more encouraged that a brave congressperson has filed articles of impeachment against the man. The dude in charge of nat’l health policy is a mentally addled quack & his actions are gonna kill people & bring back #ChildhoodDiseases big time. After decades of #PublicHealth advances, we’re turning back the clock & rapidly losing ground. The #TrumpAdministration attack on #Medicaid makes things even worse. Rural hospitals are closing & what physicians are available are fleeing red states. We’re gonna look like a 3rd world country in the USA. Wait… we’re already there. #medicine #hospitals #HHS #clinics #RuralHealth

  14. A divided #SCOTUS on Monday turned away a pair of #FreeSpeech challenges by #abortion opponents to city laws in #NewJersey & #Illinois that restrict #protests directly outside #clinics & #hospitals where abortions are performed.
    
The court declined to reconsider a 25-yr-old precedent that has allowed local govts to create protest-free buffer zones around #healthcare facilities—a ruling that has long been criticized by some #conservative justices.

  15. The directive is part of a broader freeze on #ForeignAid initiated last week. It includes the President’s Emergency Plan for #AIDS Relief, the global #health program started by George W. Bush that is credited w/saving >25M lives worldwide.
