Once monkeypox is detectable in the wastewater, it’s game over for eradication; the sewers are swarming with rats. And we're expected to stop going to restaurants staffed primarily by rats? Stop eating French cuisine prepared by a tiny rat controlling a human? Don't think so.

The “I don’t want to be a lab rat” snide retorts to research are so frustrating. Sir, the lab rat was the lab rat, you are the human we are trying to help. If you want “evidence” and “testing” for interventions we need people to agree to test them to get the evidence.

Release yourself of the idea that getting COVID is a sign of moral failure and do what you can to make transmission stop with you. Tell people who may have been exposed so they can respond appropriately.

People on Tiktok are mad that I told them not to panic. They have a god given right to hear scientific misinformation and shit their pants about it. I should not have tried to come between them and their stress ulcers. It was rude of me.

I get that there's still shame around abortion (which we need to dismantle because it's simply another medical procedure) but you can easily be vocal in your support for reproductive rights without disclosing if you've ever been a part of an abortion!
