Joseph Ladapo and the Florida Department of Health published a study to back their decision not to vaccinate young people. @DrKatEpi and I received a FOIA of the early drafts of this study that demonstrates the study was edited to support an anti-vax policy. See thread.

HUGE news! New Jersey Gov. Murphy just signed EO326. This makes it a safe state for trans refugees and providers fleeing other states. NO resources can be used in out of state extradition or investigations. It now joins the safest states for trans people in legal protections!

Scoop: A peer-reviewed study claimed that as many as 278,000 people have died from COVID vaccines. It went viral in anti-vaccine circles, and also drew fierce criticism. Now it's in the process of being retracted, over the author's objections. chronicle.com/article/this-q…

I want to say this. Pay for your news. Support public radio. Subscribe to the NYT and others. Journalism matters. It’s been bartered and discredited by those who stand to benefit. But everyone has the power to change that.

This has been a hard week at @NPR not least because it is losing legendary international reporters. @spoggioli1 and @deborahamos who paved the way for those of us who followed in their intrepid and knowledgeable footsteps. 🫡 I will miss your voices on air.

IMO, one of the worst amplifiers of the infodemic is the fact that health department & CDC employees are forbidden from speaking publicly & to the press. When we muzzle experts closest to the data, the gap is filled by pundits & charlatans. Imagine if we’d let experts speak.

Fighting back against Amazon's walled garden (you can't keep a book you "buy" on Audible if you cancel your acct), @doctorow runs Kickstarter campaigns to fund his audiobooks...which outside the Audible library. He explains in this thread about his newest release:

*Red Team Blues* is my next novel, a #PostCyberpunk anti-finance finance #thriller; it's a major title for my publishers @torbooks and @HoZ_Books, and it's swept the trade press with starred reviews all 'round. Despite all that, #Audible will not sell the #audiobook. 1/

I see similar things happening throughout CA, too. People say they want the housing crisis solved, that they are tired of seeing encampments of unhoused individuals, and then protesting measures that offer to solve it. NIMBY, indeed.

@elandhuis @lisarapa Exactly. (And sometimes an assignment you *think* will feed your soul ends up feeding the garbage disposal.)

Love this tip. Also loved the tip from @lisarapa about doing the hourly math on an assignment--even going so far as to sit down with a kitchen timer to figure out what your hourly rate REALLY boils down to.* *A $300 news story might be more cost effective than a $1200 feature
