A 2025 peer-reviewed study showed unvaccinated women with prior #SARS-CoV-2 infection in 2020 face markedly higher risks of HPV-related cancers 3 years later: 67% for cervical, 131% vaginal, 98% vulvar, 92% anal, and 78% oropharyngeal invasive cancer. #LongCOVID #COVID --> #cancer #medsky

Yes, seeing more stores that are keeping doors open and more N95s on the streets in the Bay Area.

🧬 What does long COVID look like in children? In our latest Epigenetics and Infectious Diseases webinar, Dr. Danilo Buonsenso explained that even children with mild COVID-19 can develop long-term symptoms. Read further 👇 epivinf.eu/2026/03/30/w... #LongCOVID #Epigenetics

Taiwan has intercepted its first case of the heavily mutated BA.3.2 'Cicada' COVID variant. The strain is surging in Europe and US wastewater after vanishing for nearly a year. #COVID19 #PublicHealth #News #Health blazetrends.com/the-cicada-c...

"Immune Cell Tied to Long COVID Fatigue Found" Scientists used single-cell analysis to study immune cells and inflammation signals in Long COVID patients. They found clear immune differences linked to how severe the initial infection was, helping explain ongoing symptoms. #LongCOVID

The US is spending more than $1 trillion on the military for the first time in history. That apparently isn't enough. Now, the Pentagon wants $200 billion more for an illegal war in Iran. The answer is NO. We need to invest in the American people, not endless war.

Taking care of business. We need to do this and move on.

The dumbest fuck on the planet is President of the United States.

I recorded a @virginiatech.bsky.social Curious Conversations podcast about stuff in the air that makes us sick and our project funded by @arpa-h.bsky.social on a smart building system to ensure cleaner, healthier indoor air. news.vt.edu/articles/202...

"I ASSUMED the US Military had an active plan to open the Strait." How can people who are paid to understand geopolitics be so bafflingly naive?

When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

“The clear winner of this war is Putin” Must be a coincidence 🙃

Search-and-rescue crews were “flying blind” trying to rescue survivors from deadly tornadoes that hit the Midwest last week. Why? Because Kristi Noem hadn't approved FEMA’s $200,000 contract with a tornado-tracking tool. But she had time to spend $220 million on anti-immigrant ads. Priorities.

HOLY SHIT. A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election. Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?

In the Bay Area it seems many are still sick. Some folks masking and retail stores are keeping the doors open for the best ventilation. Typical HVACs are not enough. Recently attended a party with 25 ppl. At least 2 kids had wet coughs.

🚨 Major new #COVID study finding: 20 months post-infection, in CVD pts, T lymphocytes remained 72.9% below baseline. Insane: persistent ~73% drop in immune fighting capacity, including vs cancer. 😢 #medsky #LongCOVID

I've been to Taiwan twice for scientific conferences. The sea of scooters is definitely a thing. They used to spew toxic fumes & have loud, two-stroke engines. Now the government is paying folks to switch to clean, quiet, battery swapping EVs. With big impacts! 🧪🔌💡☀️💨💧🔋 electrek.co/2026/02/22/t...

Imagine if HEALTHCARE WAS FREE in America, as it is in Greenland. Just imagine. 🇺🇸🇬🇱

The Boston Sunday Globe did a good article covering Long Covid but for some reason, it's the only article in the entire paper I can't share. So for the first time, I took screenshots and am sharing them here. #bostonglobe #LongCovid #COVID19 #publichealth #WearAMask #getvaccinated

Here's Oregon's statewide COVID wastewater data. The line? People testing. It cratered to the ground even as its still being detected in the wastewater. Thinking this is all done and over is lying to oneself. It's still a problem & it's impacting fetuses, elderly, & the vulnerable. FFS mask

Measles is now actively spreading in Salt Lake County.

After sunset, around 18:00 UT on 20 February, it might be possible to spot the 11% lit #Moon in a line with Saturn, Mercury and Venus low in the west-southwest. This will be a tricky one too see due to the faintness and low height of the planets. The Moon should be a nice sight though. #Astronomy

Person asked me yesterday if I ever get a fever. Not really. Last time might have been after a Shringrix vaccine for 1 day 2 yrs ago. Before that, it's beyond memory, so 7+ yrs ago. Meanwhile this person has had at least 4-5 illness events in the last 3 years. Same person has mocked me for masking.

Sounds to me like lil’ Ron is in some deep sh*t. 💩

NEW: ICE has raided dormitories at the Dilley concentration camp to confiscate letters from children per @pabloreports.bsky.social. I have filed a FOIA request for them. @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social: the second we get anything, we will send it to you. 1/ www.muellershewrote.com/p/new-ice-co...

Counterpoint: Don’t upload your medical records to any LLM. That’s fucking insane.

Insanity. They are laughing at us.

The party that brought us “COVID is a Chinese hoax,” “We need to reopen the economy even if it means more people die,” “You can’t make me wear a mask in public because herd immunity isn’t real,” “Drinking bleach and eating horse paste will cure you,” and “Vaccines are a scam.” Those guys? No way.

How is it possible that Kristi Noem still has this job. Imagine if you’re a family member or a shipmate of this guardsman. www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

Does that seem fair to you?

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

lol this is gonna burst so fucking hard

The Space Shuttle Endeavour silhouetted by an orbital sunset as it approaches the ISS. As the Sun is fully behind the Earth, the Earth is a silhouette, but the atmosphere is able to scatter light around the planet. This is why it's not completely dark immediately after sunset. (1/5) #Astronomy ⚛️🧪🛰️
