Cases of diphtheria continue to soar in Australia, with no sign of a peak. If anything, the pace is still accelerating.

Reported cases are concentrated in the Northern Territory & Western Australia.

h/t @wimpson69.bsky.social for sharing the updates from RACGP.

the pro-Israel lobby effortlessly normalised monopolising formal, professional, and serious - if not efficacious - complaints processes with their personal grievances about other people’s personal social media accounts - which they could just you know block, mute, or not stalk.

The RACGP continues to endorse graded exercise therapy for ME/CFS in Australia, despite evidence of harm.

"The RACGP’s response devalues patient experience like any good gaslighter does."

Shame the RACGP can't speak up about the value of respirator masks and clean air, both for avoiding catching bugs & passing them on.

And, for that matter, show very little sign of being serious about preventing transmission in their own practices and rooms.

The RACGP invited her to do a webinar and only cancelled it at the last minute after they got caught red-handed. Medicine in this country is fucking cooked
