EVERYONE STOP EVERYTHING Mychal the Librarian is hosting the Reading Rainbow revival!!! reactormag.com/reading-rain...

From the LinkedIn of the woman—a white lawyer from Carlsbad, CA—who filmed this encounter and shared the video:

Some of the bottles of rice and formula and flour Egyptians threw into the sea have actually made it to Gaza - now people in Cyprus and Lebanon are joining the effort, with scientists from all over the world virtually assisting them in figuring the time and location to do so based on the currents. 💚

I like Brad Lander. He's from St Louis. He should avenge the ousting of fellow St Louisan Cori Bush by ousting Chuck Schumer. The dirty money AIPAC-GOP-Vichy Dem network that targeted Cori also targeted Mamdani and is embodied by Schumer and Cuomo. Time to clean house!

Wake me up when the "Dragon blood eyes" or "Jet engine cough" variants show up

I can't think of anyone currently running for office more dangerous than Andrew Cuomo. Not just for NYC but for the nation, because unfortunately NYC disproportionately affects the rest of the states. Bad politicians elsewhere don't have the same structural power. NYC: Do not vote for this man.

An analysis comparing the number of scientific papers on vaccines published by recently fired #ACIP members to those published by the 8 people Sec. Kennedy chose to replace them shows a stark difference in depth of expertise in the field. www.science.org/content/arti...

Looks here, Robert Wallace, newly appointed by RFK to the ACIP breeds horses in Virginia. So that's nice. www.lusitanostud.com/take-action

Here is a short script you can use to call your representatives and tell them to demand RFKJ’s resignation.

For no reason in particular, Here's screenshots of all the top vaccine makers and their top recipients of funds. Oh, and a conflict of interest disclosure from one of the former #acip members, as required by the committee rules.

RFK Jr did the thing he promised not to do. drrubin.substack.com/p/rfk-jr-jus...

A comprehensive guide with references (so you don't have to find them) to help people leave a comment about COVID vaccine access on the ACIP docket for the June 24-27th meeting, even though all current members have been summarily dismissed. Get loud!

RFK Jr must resign - or be impeached drrubin.substack.com/p/robert-f-k...

This is because there have been years of propaganda about wasteful government spending and "illegals."

Did you hear the news 'bout Billie Joe?! sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/searching-...

🚨ATTENTION MOMS🚨 Friday, May 30th at 3pm Meet me outside of the CDC with your pregnant bellies, your babies, your toddlers, your strollers, your signs, and your baby gear. We are standing up for science and vaccines! @standupforscience.bsky.social RSVP: actionnetwork.org/events/moms-...

It's absolutely false that the FDA policy recommendations for who should receive the COVID vaccine in 2025-2026 will automatically translate to what the ACIP votes should be the clinical recommendations even though the news is reporting it as if the new restrictions on seasonal vaxes is a done deal

A thread on how to contact the voting members of the ACIP CDC Advisory Committee before public comment opens for the June 25-27th meeting that will address the FDA policy paper calling for placebo studies to be done for new COVID vaccines and recommending access only to 65+ and other high risk.

Getting tired of being asked to pay to read mediocre "hot takes" when blogs used to all be free. I'm all for supporting folks, but you can miss me with your trying to capitalize on people's uncertainty in this moment. Feels predatory.

🧬 Variant Evolution Rate Since 2020 We witnessed a huge weekly growth advantage in new variants for the first year after Omicron arrived, and then to a lesser extent after Pirola. Now we have 9 months of the lowest growth advantages since 2020. 🧵

They used two of my articles. 🫠

Remember when all those kids were getting acute hepatitis in 2022 and us "citizen scientists" were out here saying it was COVID. Turns out, yeah, it was COVID. gut.bmj.com/content/earl...

Let me rephrase this 2 months later - 400 cases across 18 states now and at least 1 child who passed away.

This is beyond just misinformation. It is fever dream of lies codified in legislation. Buckle up world, this is where we are headed... Yep... Dark Age 2.0. Proposed bill would ban administration of mRNA vaccines in Montana nbcmontana.com/newsletter-d...

I appreciate this perspective on how COVID vaccines and infections did not increase the number of "died suddenly" from cardiac arrest cases. However, data is only through 2022. Data through 2025 would give me more confidence in the validity of the claims here. www.medscape.com/viewarticle/...

Found the Far UVC in this classroom at another school than my kid’s on a chaperoning trip and turned them on. Health classroom. Some teacher knows what’s up. ❤️

Lots of updates for the past week in the worlds of Covid and public health. Major ACIP Impacts & Large Hits to Early / Mid-Career Scientists youtu.be/sJz2RdzJBBE

So basically similar to the chance of getting long COVID per infection? Good thing there's only 1 asteroid, unlike the multiple infections so many people have at this point.

Thankful NYS still has a regulation that all HCWs who are not vaxxed for flu need to mask in areas where there's patients, but why is there not the same regulation for COVID which can be equally and even more dangerous than the flu? Make it make sense. www.health.ny.gov/diseases/com...

"there are signs up on the floor warning people about the condition of the floor, and HEPA filters were placed every 20 feet in the hallway" That will fix it! 😷https://www.burlingtontoday.com/local-news/covid-19-outbreak-infects-at-least-seven-at-joseph-brant-hospital-10231101

So basically, at this point, nearly everyone who's had multiple COVID infections and some who've only had one? www.news-medical.net/news/2025021...

So, they can't hire more people? Nah, that would cost money. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

After COVID-19, respiratory viruses returned in a set order: rhinovirus first, then coronaviruses, RSV, and flu. A global study suggests virus traits, not location, drove the timing. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A lot of the young ones know what's up. One of my kiddos chose to go plant-based at age 10. undark.org/2025/02/13/m...

So much fun! This study suggests the flu is also airborne. Yay! doi.org/10.1371/jour...

Of course it did. Measles is airborne, can live in the air for up to 2 hours, and has an average estimated basic reproduction number (R0) of 12-18. So 12-18 (esp. unvaccinated) people can get infected from one primary case. www.fox4news.com/news/texas-m...

Perhaps nature is telling us factory farming of animals for profit is actually evil? All living beings are interconnected, and there are different more sustainable methods. That knowledge is held in our collective human history. farmprogress.com/animal-health/avian-flu-explodes-in-ohio

Do note that the minimum order size is 10,000 masks, so we encourage you to work together with other local groups to bundle your orders. Let's get these masks spread out across our communities and protect each other. It's hard to fight for human rights if you have covid!

Yeah you did. @1goodtern.bsky.social

Do you know this awesome community project? indoorco2map.com It's great to check general CO2 measurements if you want to visit a location. Everyone with an Aranet (other sensors, too) can participate and submit their CO2 data via an app created by @aurel.indoorco2map.com

Because the elderly were made expendable by the rhetoric of the pandemic

@charlesgaba.com is a hero and downloaded CDC’s entire website. A small group of us has come together to preserve this critical resource and make it accessible to the scientific community. More to come. These data are public and they are ours. Deletion disobedience is one way to fight back.
