“Spanish flu” is a misnomer for the 1918 flu pandemic. The world was in the midst of WWI, and no one in Europe was sharing their info on how many millions were dying from the flu that year. The exception was Spain, because they were neutral in the war. Since only Spain reported their numbers…

This is a wildly prescient story about Chicago's proto-RFK Jr., in charge of public health during the Spanish Flu. He thought beer killed malaria and that bathing could kill you. He had a feud with an actual TB doctor, who insisted bathing is good. He bullied the TB doctor until he killed himself.

Sachs believed that the new administration was undermining patient care by making hiring and contract decisions based on political connections. Thompson and Robertson in turn accused Sachs of being financially extravagant, incompetent, and dictatorial. As Sachs resigned from the sanitarium he had worked tirelessly to build, Frank Billings, one of the most respected physicians in the city, called Robertson “utterly unqualified.”

On April 2, 1916, Sachs committed suicide. For reformers and the medical establishment, Sachs was a martyr to grotesque political corruption. Although The Republican, a propaganda sheet literally published in an office in City Hall, sneered that suicide “occasionally has been a haven of moral cowards who preferred the shelter of death to public exposure of their shortcomings,” Robertson took a less confrontational tone after Sachs’s death. Still, he refused to step down.

Israel is burning the forests of Wadi al-Slouqi and Houla in South Lebanon. Not military targets. Forests, valleys, hills and entire ecosystems. This is not only an environmental crime. It is the deliberate erasure of a piece of Lebanon’s natural heritage. 💔😢💔😢🤬🇮🇱🤬🇮🇱♾️

Breaking: Another victim, Edwin Jovanny Lopez Cornejo, has died in ICE custody at Delaney Hall prison after being denied vital medication and family visits. Depriving sick detainees of care until they die is murder by neglect. We demand complete transparency and justice for Edwin! 🎥 Statuscoup

ICE IS KILLING PEOPLE IN THE SHADOWS. Prisciliano Trejo Ricano begged for a doctor. He became the 50th person to die in ICE custody. Anne Frank wasn’t shot; she died of neglect in a camp. ICE uses the same playbook: murder by medical neglect. ICE DETENTION CENTERS ARE DEATH CAMPS.

While I am amazed and grateful for the hard work of doctors and nurses, referring to the pandemic in the past tense is part of the reason that hospitals acquired infections of COVID accounts for about 30% all transmission. Doctors, nurses and staff should ALWAYS wear respirators while working.

7 mo into Covid-19 after grueling 24hr caring for child with the disease, who survived. Showered at hosp, returned to office & informed staff, wasn't retiring the next mo, as had planned. Photo of that moment. This is my "diary". Nobody can change the reality of pandemic for those who lived it...

Boy George now joins the likes of Gwyneth Paltrow, Jerry Seinfeld, Debra Messing, Mayim Bialik, Chris Pine, Helen Mirren and Michael Douglas. A pantheon of celebrities who sold out. Who chose to side with a genocidal oppressor.

I was personally lied to.     The Trump Administration canceled nearly $8 billion in grants, killing projects, jobs, and investments across the country.     Except it wasn’t across the entire country. Just in states that voted against Trump.
