Show me a payment system in medicine and I’ll show you how it results in a gender pay gap. Mostly because men set it up that way. Another example- www.theage.com.au/national/vic...

Elizabeth Jacobs, PhD@elizabethjacobs.bsky.social · 2mo agoTrump is mulling over an executive order around vaccines and autism. Who the hell knows what it will entail. There is no credible evidence that vaccines cause autism. Destroying public health is simply now part of the Republican platform. Stay tuned for any actions to respond to this.
