Unlike health care delivery, public health gets the short end of the stick when it comes to funding & resources.. No one will thank you for the disease they didn’t get..Public health might be the greatest measure of kindness.... the greatest measure of how to treat each other...

Measles epidemic. In the U.S. In 2026. This used to be - and should go back to being - unfathomable. We have a safe and effective vaccine. But we also have RFK Jr, the man who has undermined vaccines for years and years, in charge of our nations health. A disgrace.
Next month, the U.S. could lose the measles elimination status we’ve held since 2000. We’ve now seen over 4,000 cases this year, the most in over three decades. We have a tool that works: two doses of the MMR vaccine are 97% effective at preventing measles. If you’re already vaccinated, the most important thing you can do now is help the people in your life who aren’t. I get asked often how to persuade a loved one to get vaccinated. Don’t ask a blame-oriented question: “Why aren’t you following the guidelines?” Ask a barrier-oriented question: “What’s in the way of you getting vaccinated?” That’s how other countries have brought their outbreaks under control: by looking out for one another, one face-to-face conversation at a time.

If you seek to lead people, you seek to influence how they behave through your thoughts, your words, and your actions. Politicians have to take responsibility for trivialising violence and normalising aggression. Our words matter. abc.net.au/news/2026-10-28/o…

Replying to @BahindBaloch
Voting just closed in Israel’s Oct 27 election for the 26th Knesset. Early Channel 12 exit poll: Likud (Netanyahu) 24 seats, Yashar (Eisenkot) 22. Pro-Netanyahu bloc ~50, opposition ~52, Arab parties ~18. Other exit polls show similar deadlock, with blocs around 50-55. Neither reaches the 61 needed for a majority. Official counts begin now; full results expected later this week. Coalition talks will decide the next government.

It’d be good to wake up tomorrow morning to find that Israeli voters have flung Bibi the Butcher out on his arse. A bit optimistic, maybe, but it’s a cheerful thought. Good night.

I feel more people should be discussing Pauline Hanson suing over a satirical song about her back in 1997 and 2003. @PPantsdown (Simon Hunt) released a song, 'I'm A Backdoor Man' that arranged Hanson soundbites to have her saying . . . 'I'm very proud that I'm not natural. I'm a backdoor man for the Ku Klux Klan' and 'I'm a very caring potato', among other words of wisdom. Interestingly, Hanson's so-called support of satire escaped her and through her lawyers, she lodged defamation proceedings in the QLD courts, arguing the satire was injurious and defamatory and the lyrics and audio imputations falsely portrayed her as: • a homosexual, a transvestite/man, or a prostitute • engaging in unnatural sexual practices or pedophilia • associating with the Ku Klux Klan • being a subhuman or a "caring potato" (please try to read that with a straight face) The proceedings resulted in the granting of an injunction in Pauline Hanson's favour restraining the continued publication of the satirical material. After remaining legally dormant for roughly five years, Hanson reactivated the existing defamation case in the Supreme Court of Queensland in mid-2003. Legal analysts and media noted that Hanson revived the lawsuit specifically around the same time she was facing high-profile criminal charges and prison time for electoral fraud. Anywhoo, it seems Pauline Hanson and her team of bald men are very happy to cruelly and sadistically mock others, especially women with disabilities, but when it comes to mocking Pauline, that so-called sense of humour suddenly vaporises. .

He is uninformed and has jumped on to something he barely understands. 1. Synthetic fuels are currently being tested and only being producing in tiny amounts. It is not clear if they can scale 2. e-fuels are currently several times more expensive than fossil fuels (sometimes quoted in the 3–6× range depending on the fuel type and study), mainly because of the energy intensity of electrolysis, CO₂ capture, and the chemical conversion steps, plus limited scale 3. Making these fuels costs energy - which will have to come from somewhere. 4. Internal combustion engine technology has peaked and its will not get much more efficient than where we are now. Like for like and average EV travels 4.4 times farther on the same amount of energy than the average gasoline vehicle (about 5.1× in city driving and 3.6× on the highway). Despite its geopolitical ramifications, this argument is done and he and his mates should take a rest

Absolute fire here from Monique Ryan: “She is a negative force in Australian politics.” For decades Pauline Hanson has been platformed and legitimised despite the racism, bigotry and division. If you’re going to give her the platform and the reach, then hold her to account.

🚨🇮🇱 WATCH: Arab Israelis are riding camels, horses, and donkeys to their local polling stations in the Negev. The turnout today has been INSANE, and Netanyahu has been particularly outspoken about how concerned he is with high Arab voter turnout. When the camels start showing up, things aren't looking good for Bibi... 😂 Writer: Michael

I very much want to be wrong, but I think this outbreak is going to get much, much worse. Attacks on healthcare workers, active conflict zone, porous borders, sub-optimal surveillance. A very bad combination.

BREAKING: The UK has just issued security alerts for Israel, Iran, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, Iraq, UAE, Qatar, Jordan, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Syria, Yemen and Palestine, warning all British nationals of sudden incoming escalation causing severe flight cancellations, airspace closures and travel disruptions. "The context in the Middle East remains deeply unpredictable and the risk of sudden escalation is high," the new warning says. It now covers British nationals planning to transit the region rather than only those already there, and drops all qualifiers on airspace closures and travel disruptions, which are no longer described as potential. US embassies across the region ordered departures last week.

Holy hell. Abdul El-Sayed just ended Trump's name calling game. He turned the insult around, Saudis, Qataris, jet and all, and closed it himself. "Call me Senator after November."

Don’t become numb to this. It’s disgusting and dangerous racism and if Rogers wins next month it’ll only escalate. Sick, sick stuff.
Trump: El-Sayed would be the only senator that will have to go through a metal detector before he's allowed to go into the Senate. I want him to have a metal detector

BREAKING: Donald Trump is now considering striking Iran as soon as tomorrow, telling reporters after casting his ballot in Florida, “We’re thinking about doing it, and maybe tomorrow.” The remarks mark a sharp reversal from his October 8 statement that the U.S. would not attack before the November 3 midterms. It comes as the USS George Washington has been actively rearming in the Arabian Sea with bunker-buster bombs and standoff missiles, with the carrier's captain saying his crew is ready to respond "reactively or preemptively."

Violence against a politician is instantly and readily labelled as political violence by Albanese, our political leaders and the media. Regardless of motive and intent, they say it is so purely because it is violence against someone who is a politician. Logical, yes? Violence against a woman by a man, is male violence against women. Regardless of motive or intent, It is precisely so, purely because it is violence by a man against a woman. This is not a discussion about motive or intent, it is a statement about what is. Not sure why so many people can not understand that simple logic and/or refuse to name the hard part out loud. It is male violence against women. Yet again, day in, day out, week in, week out - angry, violent men. .

“Honey we can’t buy eggs, we have to set aside $7 to bomb the kids in Gaza. Remember?” Abdul El-Sayed is absolutely crushing it. This is the most brilliant ad of all time 👏🏼

Thousands of Israelis rallied against PM Benjamin Netanyahu, demanding a change of government and an independent inquiry into the security failures surrounding the Hamas-led October 7th attacks. The election will be held on Tuesday October 27.
