@UCSF injected pesticide into 1000's of prisoners, and now, after over 50 years, has issued "an apology."

That's very thoughtful of them (actually no one thinks that). Particularly since the mass human experiment was signed off by their then ethicist.

Did I happen to mention #NoAmnesty?

The road to Hell is paved not only with good intentions but also self-satisfied excuses.
Addendum: "While Maibach wrote that he regrets having participated in research that does not meet current standards in a letter to the university's dermatology department, he said he believed the experiments had offered benefits to some of the patients."

Shades of Fauci.

Ladies and gentlemen, one of #Calufornia's finest County Health Officers was reprimanded for Ethics and Standard of Care violations by State Medical Board, for her multiple undisclosed DUI during her lockdowns/curfews, which the County BOS recused...

pressdemocrat.com/article/news/s…
...The apologists at the BOS say it's okay now, two years later, because she finished her online training course in the Ethics of not driving drunk during your curfew, nearly hitting a car, being arrested for it as a 2nd offense, concealing the loss of license and reason for...
...not attending in-county meetings, instead insisting on holding them in Zoom, including the day after her arrest, for another year before an anonymous tip let the public know.

Her husband is a lawyer.

She claimed it was all gender and race-based harassment.

BOS shrugged...

An extraordinary and important essay to read, about medical professionals and academic organizations:

"If anyone said anything that could be used to argue for less restrictive policies there would be no limits to what would be acceptable ways to discredit them..."
"...Ad hominem was fair game, but only if they were minimizing COVID. If they were exaggerating it, that was fine. If you even pointed out the errors to a maximizers idea, you were “bullying them.” It was a bizarre double standard."

We are not going to mask on and off for the rest of our lives UNLESS doctors with MPH, like this, have their way.

What are we doing to END this? What? Complaining on Twitter?

We need these people to understand that they have no control at all over us, the public, now.
Other countries aren't even proposing this, except North Korea and Canada and Iran.

Unsure if the sentiment is even common in China.

We must do more, now.

This doctor is in #Atlanta #Georgia according to his profile -- folks in Georgia, does this doctor's opinion on masks represent yours?

Masks don't work anywhere in the world.

Intention matters more than specific words spoken. Many Americans speak varying degrees of Standard English and only a certain % are native speakers. To assume ill-intent because someone dare utter a "bad" word on a list is to ignore diversity, ethnicity, and immigration itself..
...an anecdote: in my first year of teaching, a student submitted an essay with "colored people," "the colored," and "negroes" in it.

She was a great thinker. Her argument was about something concerning racial equality. And she was from Mexico but had English speaking fluency...
...I circled the words, after some thought, and wrote "not idiomatic/archaic use" after some thought. That seemed correct. Her intention was obviously based in care and consideration.

In California, 40% of University students are not native English speakers.

Let's not erase...

My son lives in mask-happy Philippines, where armed guards and social shame ensure full indoor mask compliance.

Yet he was admitted to hospital yesterday (he is okay though, just on antibiotics and IV drip).

His fiancee sent me a photo to show he was well.

No one was masked!
Of course it's every mother's worst nightmare to hear their son is overseas in a hospital. Yet knowing his rage at constant force-masking to go to the mall or to buy groceries, and to go to the gym, I was comforted to see a room full of naked faces.

Hope now he can heal quickly.
Sadly the US healthcare system is more regressive than even the Philippines, apparently, despite COVID anxiety there that puts ours to shame.

The question is why? Why is US healthcare this uncaring? This divorced from normal, ordinary human needs?

"154-year-old Northern California university...to close its doors for good next year as it struggles with declining enrollment, rising operational costs and financial trouble brought on during the COVID-19 pandemic."

Most students at Holy Names University, a private Roman Catholic college in Oakland, are 1st gen or from underrepresented groups.

Their lives and plans have been decimated in part by the foolish, needless, and pointless choices of @GavinNewsom and their county Health Officer.
It's racist to advocate for in-person college:

"at Holy Names University...33.5% Hispanic/Latino, 19.3% Black or African American, 16.7% White, 10.6% Asian, 4.93% Two or More Races, 0.789% Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islanders, and 0.296% American Indian or Alaska Native."
