🌏🌍🌎, people with autism are often subject to stigma, discrimination and human rights violations. This needs to stop!
#Autism refers to a range of conditions characterised by some degree of:

🔻impaired social behaviour, communication and language

🔻a narrow range of interests and activities that are both unique to the individual and carried out repetitively.

#WorldAutismDay
#Autism begins in childhood and tends to persist into adolescence and adulthood. In most cases the conditions are apparent during the first 5 years of life. #WorldAutismAwarenessDay

It’s so important to keep vaccinating our children: if we don’t, diseases that have become uncommon in many countries will return.

The surge in #measles and #mumps are newsworthy, hot-topic attention grabbers. However, can I make a quick plug for something that is almost certainly going to be an issue in the near future? 1/x
The declines in MMR #vaccine coverage have led to increased outbreaks, several of which have been close to home (looking at you, #Texas). Therefore, coverage for "R" - rubella - is declining in parallel with measles and mumps in the same zip codes. 2/x
The reproductive number (R0), a measure of how infectious a given pathogen is, is highest for measles, medium for mumps, and lowest for rubella. So rubella will show up last... but it's coming. Good review: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P… 3/x

In this thread, I'm going to present a collection songs, comics, and advertisements showing how no one really cared or worried about a #measles infection before the vaccine came out.
This doll let girls simulate measles or chickenpox infections. Strange they would do that for a disease that people were so terrified of. Were they just ignorant?
Here's a cute song sung by Cab Calloway's daughter, Lael, about her measles infection right at Christmas. She wasn't worried about measles but Santa NOT visiting her—that is, unless he had already had #measles.

They knew it conferred a lifetime of immunity, unlike vaccines.

You will never understand how deplorable Nigeria’s Healthcare is until you have a close relation down with an illness.
It can take 3months for one single diagnosis & we would blame patients for presenting late.
No! It’s the system! We’ve lost hugely to our poor healthcare.
We can never have a prosperous country with this kind of healthcare system. A system where EMERGENCY 🚨 does not mean anything to anyone in the system. Patients had wait for over 3months to get as simple as Colonoscopy Done. You come today, they said no. It must be on THURSDAYS.
If you don’t come on Thursday, you can’t get this done! Well, the wealthy patients would simply zoom off to private facilities to get this done. The poor ones would take their VERY SICK ones home or to one PASTOR or BABA. If the system were good, Babas would be out of business.

🚨 Holy Smokes.
Let me repeat that: 4.2 MILLION currently uninsured Americans could get #ACA-compliant healthcare policies FOR FREE.

(yes, they'd have high deductibles, but they'd include FREE preventative services, such as, blood/drug screenings, mammograms, vaccinations, etc)
THREAD: Here's the full list of FREE preventative services (regardless of deductible) included with every #ACA marketplace policy (as long as it's done in-network): 1/

--Abdominal aortic aneurysm screening
--Alcohol misuse screening and counseling
--Aspirin use to prevent cardiovascular disease and colorectal cancer =
--Blood pressure screening
--Cholesterol screening
--Colorectal cancer screening for adults 50 to 75
--Depression screening
