Texas is delaying its typical September 1 release of maternal mortality data until December 1, conveniently timed to be after the midterm election. Recent reports have shown a sharp rise in ectopic pregnancy deaths after the abortion ban went into effect.

The headline says it all.

One example of a trickle down effect, when you haphazardly cut govt surveillance programs like FoodNet.

When govt programs are defunded, we see what worked quietly worked behind the scenes before.

A shitshow, literally.

I LOVE Neil DeGrasse Tyson's explanation of increased life expectancy, that people were only living to their mid 30's until scientific developments came along to cure them of disease and physical maladies- even though the earth was pristine, and ALL food was organic, you could still die of tetanus

People forget that 'Mother Nature' is not a benign force. Nature accepts a relatively high attrition rate amongst mothers and their children. *We* are the ones who want 100% to survive. Well, when I say 'We', I'm referring to the civilised ones amongst us, not the eugenicists 😕

The problem is not data itself.

Measurement remains essential for science, healthcare, and public decision-making. But numbers never speak entirely for themselves. Every dataset reflects choices about what counts, what becomes visible — and what is left out.🧪
