✨Africa CDC shuts down RFK's attempt to conduct a Tuskegee-like vaccine trial on children in Guinea-Bissau. The study exploited “the scarcity of a proven beneficial vaccine in a context where that vaccine is needed,” said Boghuma Titanji. @melodyschreiber.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The main outcome of this farcically horrible trial is death or hospitalization with any infection over *42 days*. That’s not even a little bit close to time Hep B takes to do anything. They will expose hundreds of newborn babies to Hep B for a trial that is all but guaranteed to be null. Evil.

the children will ask what your uncrossable line was and you will have to answer. it gets worse the longer you wait.

This is the sort of statement that was expected from every university president and law firm partner over the last year. That those statements weren’t made played a huge part in where we are now and people will remember.

Jerome Powell: "This is about whether the Fed will be able to continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic conditions—or whether instead monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation."

That was my takeaway too. She's clearly turning the wheel to her right. I've slowed the video down here.

Apparently the US government can kill people on the high seas, in other lands and on its own streets—and nothing will be done to stop it. The US is now a gangster state at home and a rogue state abroad, writes dag

Def not the most important thing about this, but coming across this thread from a researcher studying vehicle ramming attacks is giving me the most “old Twitter“ vibes I have had here…

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” —George Orwell (1984)

Black people five years ago: you know, they can kill anyone they want to out there Everybody today: hot damn, did you know they can kill anyone they want to out there?

what this should make clear to everyone in this country is that it does not matter who you are, there's no "it could never happen to me" you can be a white woman who drives around with stuffed animals in her car, and they will still kill you in cold blood and call you a domestic terrorist

What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids? Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies. For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!

Oil brings us climate change and illegal invasions of sovereign nations.

I'm #oneofthetwo that Jon Stewart from @weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social mocked for still wearing a mask in 2025. I don't have a weird disease or a disability and I don't do it to protect others. I do it because I have read the papers and I'm seeing what covid is doing to everyone else.

I don't understand how we are still stigmatizing people for wearing masks during respiratory virus season in 2025. Really, people?

Disappointed to see Jon Stewart & co joke about masking in public. I do it for my medically fragile daughter (Batten Disease). People not masking properly led to her getting pneumonia, which led to her being on life support, which led to me getting price quotes on her cremation just in case.

A small (personal) example of this book’s intellectual dishonesty: My father-in-law is reading In Covid’s Wake, and excitedly told me he found a passage where I’m quoted. The quote in question is me saying the FBI worked to censor speech on social media. Huh? When did I say that?!

"Like Amazon Prime, but with human beings."

@unaisordo.bsky.social Al hilo de esta noticia sobre las bajas y la gente de cristal, te paso en el siguiente post una fuente que creo que es muy intersante y que no entiendo por qué no se está mirando más www.europapress.es/euskadi/noti...

The fact they redacted 90% of the text means Trump is mentioned as often as Epstein

Spain is different Data published today, first is positivity in the sentinel system, second is prevalence in the sentinel system (share of patients with symptoms times positivity)

Watch this. Keep going until 2013.

Hardly a surprise. Any ‘agreement’ with Trump is just the start of attempts to extort more, as his various tariffs on Canada & Mexico have shown. In that respect, his approach to negotiations is similar to Putin’s. Deals are essentially worthless.

Apropos to a post I'm not going to quote: no, you are not fucking obliged to battle the fucking right on fucking social media, or go to where they are. Why make yourself miserable shouting at bots (who don't care) or trolls (who get off on your misery). Make your fucking social media enjoyable, FFS.

If you have a bank account in your country or use U.S. technology, as most of us do, this will 100% affect you and your loved ones now and well into the foreseeable future. And this is why #Digitalsovereignty should be a goal for every democratic government if they are serious about freedom.

how can we keep calm and carry on now

This study is amazing, it demonstrates that close contact is slightly, but far less risky for respiratory infections than total exposure time in congregate settings & poor indoor air quality (basically, airborne long distance transmission). Engineers can solve this. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

"Dual nationals should be stripped of their citizenship, and they should be deported with no exceptions. We don’t want these people in our country. If they have citizenship of another country, then they should be deported, and their British citizenship should be removed. No ifs, no buts." Oh dear.

Why the “immunity debt” narrative ultimately collapsed: Over the past few months, the conversation has moved toward the conclusion the evidence has been pointing to for years. Since 2022, immunity debt offered an easy explanation for the unusual patterns of illness we kept seeing. 1/7

www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... "Our findings redefine SARS-CoV-2 infection as a condition of long-lasting immune compromise." But sure, keep basing your life on the idea that it's fine to get reinfected annually.

We should ban Twitter, he's going to use it against us

This is exactly what happens when a novel seasonal influenza strain meets a population with Covid-induced immune dysregulation; it's not 'like Covid again', it's the ongoing and continuous effects of Covid. www.bbc.com/news/article...

This is a very interesting paper. Let me plot their results in a different way so it shows a clearer picture of what they mean:

NHS England: “It will not be possible to halt the spread of a new pandemic virus, and it would be a waste of public health resources and capacity to attempt to do so.” This has got to be one of the most 🤯 things I’ve ever seen written down in an official document.

🚨 NEW: One of the largest COVID-19 vaccine studies ever (28 MILLION people in France) just dropped. Results? • 74% lower risk of death from severe COVID-19 • 25% lower risk of all-cause mortality • No increase in 4-year mortality #BlueSky #MedSky #IDSky #SciSky #NewsSky #PedsSky #ObSky #NurseSky

50 wild boars dead in northeastern Spain, initially thought to be swine fever but most of them just tested negative for that. Let me guess: it's going to be H5, inching closer and closer www.europapress.es/catalunya/no...

This is what exponential growth looks like: a straight line on a log scale chart. (This is the same chart as above, but on a log scale.) Fastest growth is among 15-24 year olds (128% per year, or 10x in 2.8 years, 100x in 5.6 years, ...) (2023-2025e). 3/x

COVID isn’t acting like the viruses most of us grew up with, and treating it like “just a cold” is putting people at real risk. David Brasure breaks down why SARS-CoV-2 is fundamentally different, how it causes long-term damage, and what we can do to protect ourselves.

You don't need to seek permission, just grab the remote and turn this off. If they complain, tell them I made you do it.

Since February, according to my latest analysis, almost 600,000 Black women have been economically sidelined. The November 20, 2025, Jobs Report makes clear this isn’t a blip. It’s a structural crisis. That is not a recovery. It is a redistribution of opportunity.
