"Democratic Senator Maria Cantwell on Tuesday said Verizon and AT&T are blocking release of key documents about an alleged massive Chinese spying operation that infiltrated U.S. telecommunications networks known as Salt Typhoon and wants their CEOs to appear before Congress to answer questions."
"Cantwell asked both companies to turn over security assessments conducted by Alphabet cybersecurity unit Mandiant. She said Mandiant refused to provide the requested network security assessments, apparently at the direction of AT&T and Verizon."
"In some cases, hackers are alleged to have intercepted conversations, including between prominent U.S. politicians and government officials. Several lawmakers have described them as the worst telecom hacks in U.S. history."
"Cantwell said Salt Typhoon allowed the Chinese government to "geolocate millions of individuals" and "record phone calls at will," and that the incident targeted almost every American."
"The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates more than 2 million Americans could benefit from a treatment known as PrEP, but only a quarter of them are getting a form of the drug. Zach Dyer appeared on WAMU’s “Health Hub” on Feb. 4 to share tips patients can use to avoid those pitfalls and find a doctor who knows more about PrEP."
"The FDA removed a webpage that warned consumers about potentially dangerous products and therapies marketed as autism treatments.
An archived version of the page said the agency had warned or taken action against companies that made improper claims that their products could treat or cure autism or autism-related symptoms."
New training from a Texas regulator about when doctors can legally terminate a pregnancy comes nearly five years after the state passed its abortion ban in 2021.
Imagine paying for NetFLIx every month, and then paying when you watch the movie, and then getting another bill three months later because one of the actors isn't signed with NetFLIX so you have to pay him directly. Also, your taxes are going to NETFLIX
That'd be stupid, right?
This a (stolen) post about healthcare in Alberta, CANADA
ftr public ins. works exactly like private, so priavatization is flat-out STEALING the premiums paid into public ins.
Almost 15,000 nurses who work for three separate hospital systems have been on strike since 12 January, holding out for increased staffing, better safety in hospitals, and improved #healthcare benefits. The #NewYork State #Nurses Association (NYSNA) has pointed to the giant pay packages that hospital CEOs have received, at a time when #nurses say there are too few of them to adequately care for patients.
The #strike has pulled support from #ZohranMamdani, the #NewYorkCity mayor, and Bernie Sanders, the democratic #socialist Vermont senator, both of whom joined striking nurses outside a Mount Sinai #hospital on Tuesday.
If you can find a dentist in the US to treat you after you get back in case you have problems, then it might be an alternative for you. Implants, crowns, etc..
“I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.” - AOC

Urgent Appeal: Help Anna #Escape#Abuse – Time is Running Out!
🚨EMERGENCY: Anna's Life Hangs in the Balance – Act NOW to Rescue Her from #Abuse and #Neglect!
Anna, an Australian woman battling severe #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis (#ME) for over 20 years, is trapped in a toxic home with abusive family members. Bedbound and forced to stay in a dark room, she is vulnerable and that vulnerability is taken advantage of. She is not allowed access to #disability aids or workers and needs approval for all mailed items including food, which may be binned or sold regardless. There are no steady rules, just excuses for her abuse. She faces deliberate exposure to sensory overload, days without food, constant yelling, stolen belongings, and three #COVID infections in 15 months due to unmasked family members. She now has #LongCovid as well. Compounded by #endometriosis, #hypothyroidism, #POTS, #chronicpain, and more - her health is deteriorating rapidly.
** Her doctor fears that staying in this environment will kill her.**
#Australia's #healthcare, #disability, and #domesticviolence systems have failed her catastrophically,. This systemic neglect has created a life-threatening crisis – and for Anna, it's already too late to wait.
Anna's Critical Needs – Your Support Can Save Her:
Safe Housing ASAP: Anna desperately needs a quiet room in a COVID-conscious (masking) home in #Melbourne. She can pay rent $250 per week, with funded meals and limited care hours; long-term help may qualify for Carer's Allowance. She has indicated she may need incidental help.
Secure Relocation: Specialized transport to reduce infection risks and suit her ME. Funds needed for moving costs and aids until #NDIS access.
Expert Advocacy: A #DisabilityAdvocate for complex cases to navigate the system with her. Even a friend just willing to help. She can’t do this alone.
Communication Aid (#Australia, preferably #Victoria): Someone to handle phone tasks – all documents provided. Brain injury has made phone use impossible.
-This is a Shameful Failure – But You Can Help In a resource-rich nation, no one should rot in abuse while services ignore them. Don't let Anna become a statistic.
the figure on the manila anatomical bookmark is against a dark ink background. their body is colored in dark green-blue, with vibrant trans pride flag colors across their body diagonally, the white at their lower abdomen. Their face is drawn in extreme concern. A speech bubble shows them asking, "is there a less invasive option?" a drawing of a disembodied white coat,with jagged edges and allmost glitch-like shaking lines is before them. The white coat also has a speech bubble, and replies, "this is the less invasive option."
Public health policies are NOT based on expert opinion, by theories, or by Pharma. They are based on evidence from large randomized controlled studies.
An independent FDA evaluates the results of the studies carried out by investigators at academic centers and overseen by institutional review boards.
There is no conspiracy. The experts and their family members get diseases too.
