I learned the hard way that U.S. airlines are not currently required to have EpiPens

"Anaphylaxis, a severe allergic reaction, is a life-threatening medical emergency and has to be treated with epinephrine as soon as possible. The glass vial of epinephrine planes carry is hard to use, and administering it safely involves multiple time-consuming steps that require medical knowledge."

I learned the hard way that U.S. airlines are not currently required to have EpiPens

Since 2016, airlines have been able to apply for “emergency” exemptions to the requirement that they carry epinephrine for anaphylaxis. That needs to end.

Amazon’s Face Recognition Falsely Matched 28 Members of Congress With Mugshots | ACLU of Northern CA

In a test the ACLU recently conducted of Amazon's facial recognition tool, called “Rekognition,” the software incorrectly matched 28 members of Congress, identifying them as other people who have been arrested for a crime. The false matches were disproportionately of people of color.

"We often tell our #kids to shoot for the stars. #Students at a Canadian elementary school did just that. They teamed up with #NASA to see if a lifesaving #drug would work in space. Their #experiment was sent up in a #rocket, and they made a big #discovery. #EpiPens used to deliver #emergency treatment for severe allergic reactions may not work in #space. So how did they figure it out? First, like all good #scientists, they started with a #question." #education #science https://www.npr.org/2023/03/12/1162957430/nasa-teams-with-an-elementary-school-project-to-test-epipens-in-space

RT @[email protected]: -inhales- You realize in a true socialist economy, the government would have enough control over the drug companies to force them to make more goddamn #EpiPens and tell supply and demand to fuck straight off.

And they wouldn't have been expensive in the first place.
