Ordinarily I am a big fan of
@theins.press
and specifically of their reporting on dirty Russian chemistry. This reporting, however, contains a small, but highly important red herring. This likely does not entirely invalidate the findings, but impacts the quality of evidence. A short 🧵:

This video shows the process of tapping a rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) for natural latex, which coagulates quickly. Done right, this is non-harmful to the tree, which heals over at the scar. Let's talk about why trees make latex & what it has to do with condoms & heroin.

FACT OF THE DAY. 26 March 1953. In a huge medical breakthrough, US medical researcher Dr Jonas Salk announced that he had created the first polio vaccine. Polio cases fell from 58,000 per year in 1952 to 6,000 by 1958. Salk’s vaccine was replaced by a new one developed by Albert Sabin in 1962.
