Monday, July 3 was the hottest day EVER recorded on Earth. A hugely significant record that stood...
... a mere 24 hours when Tuesday, July 4 broke the record for hottest day ever measured.
This is the climate crisis. Every day is record-breaking, every day is heartbreaking.

The rich don't care about your physical and mental health. The reason they are pushing a coordinated media campaign against remote work is because the only thing they really care about is all the money they are losing from empty offices.

WHO's chief scientist says “the impact of Long Covid is going to be huge. When you’ve had 7 billion people infected, you only have to increase the risk of diabetes, dementia, cardiovascular disease by a tiny percentage, and you’ve got a huge long-term problem."
But sure, blame remote work.

What motivates antivaxxers? Their harmful grift is extremely profitable.
RFK Jr earned $1.5M from suing Merck over their HPV vaccine, and he earned over $500K from his "non-profit" Children’s Health Defense, which spreads disinformation about vaccines.

While we should be vigilant about malaria in the US, please know that malaria already kills hundreds of thousands of people a year in low income countries. Climate change will have devastating health impacts on the people who contributed the least to it. We need climate justice!

Record-breaking heat wave in Texas.
NYC & Chicago recording the worst air quality of major cities in the world due to wildfire smoke.
First US cases of malaria in decades.
Climate change is the biggest public health threat humanity faces, and it's happening now.

The US has just reported its first cases of local malaria transmission for the first time in 20 years. Malaria was considered eliminated in the US in 1951. Climate change poses a huge threat to public health.

Instead of just interviewing tourists at the Washington Monument about their views on the pandemic, I really wish reporters would make the effort to interview immunocompromised, disabled, & higher risk people who can't even get medical care due to the lack of COVID protections.

Scientists warn and protect us from disease outbreaks, hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires, earthquakes, heatwaves, and much more. Bullying them, doxxing them, and harassing them off social media and public platforms will put *everyone* at more risk no matter what your politics.

New York State is getting rid of masks, tests, and hand sanitizer supplies even as wastewater coronavirus levels are high in many places. Instead of getting rid of them cheaply, Governor Kathy Hochul should donate them to the many communities who need them most.

During the wildfire smoke peak in NYC, 70% of asthma-related ER visits were in ZIP codes with predominantly Black & Brown residents. 60% were in areas with higher poverty rates than the city overall.

Interesting to see some of the people who denied the science of masks for preventing coronavirus transmission suddenly accepting that masks protect us from wildfire particles. It’s clear their stance against masks for #COVID wasn’t based on data, but was due to political beliefs.

Here's a timelapse of New York's skyline as it became engulfed in wildfire smoke and air quality dropped to hazardous levels today.

This study shows that wearing an N95 respirator reduces exposure to wildfire smoke particles by over 14 times, and reduces hospitalizations by up to 39%. Please wear an N95 respirator mask! https://agupubs.onlinelibr...

Wow. This is what New York's skyline looks like right now due to the smoke from the Canadian wildfires.

Clean air—both indoors and outdoors—is a human right. We must all work together to hold governments and corporations accountable for failing to protect it.
11:55 AM - Jun 07, 2023
Stop saying #COVID is in the past, and #climatechange is in the future! We are being significantly impacted by both crises NOW and need to take action.
10:00 AM - Jun 07, 2023
Particles from wildfires are dangerous because they are small enough to get past our body's defenses like nose hairs & can settle in the lungs, enter the bloodstream, & potentially damage other parts of the body. Please take the air quality warnings seriously.

Due to smoke from Canadian wildfires, New York City AQI has risen to almost 200, making it the worst air quality in the world right now.

Unhealthy air quality levels continue to persist in New York City due to smoke from the Canadian wildfires. Recommendations to wear a N95 mask outdoors, and run air purifiers indoors.

This is what the sunrise over New York looked like today due to wildfire smoke coming over from Canada. Air quality levels are at unhealthy, at over 10 times the guidelines recommended by the WHO. This is the reality of living through the #climate crisis.
11:33 AM - Jun 06, 2023
Air quality is at unhealthy levels in New York today due to wildfire smoke drifting down from Canada. Reminder that N95 masks help protect against smoke too. It’s a good idea to wear a mask outside today!

As COVID starts to surge again in NYC and around the country, Congress and the White House just passed a debt deal that will pull back $27 billion of #COVID funding from the CDC and many other federal agencies.

"I just most sincerely wish, that I didn't have to fear the place that I go to protect my health."
It's honestly heartbreaking to hear comments like this from patients. This is why we need to #KeepMasksInHealthcare !

With COVID transmission data removed from the CDC website after the end of the public health emergency, wastewater is now our best indicator of surges. And wastewater data shows all of NYC has high #COVID levels.
