5 years ago I started a team competition on Twitter to raise $ to fight hunger. @tmprowell.bsky.social gave us a hashtag & much needed organization Our team of teen volunteers work wonders in the background & we’ve raised >$3.1 million! Competition starts tomorrow, join us? HCWvsHunger.org

Data analyzed by the advocacy group Grassroots Wildland Firefighters shows that prescribed fires and other hazardous fuel reduction efforts have fallen by nearly 40% across the West this year.

We found that 11 of Trump’s DOT appointees disclosed between $12 million and $52 million in stock holdings and other financial interests in airlines, railroads, oil and gas corporations, transportation technology firms and other related businesses. By @jessecoburn.bsky.social

#pwME #LongCovidME please help Rob Wüst with establishing a clincial definition of #PEM. "= Minimum age of 18 years = Physician-confirmed diagnosis of ME/CFS = Ability to read and answer the questionnaire in German or English = Voluntary consent to participate" www.soscisurvey.de/V-PEM-AQ_eng...

To be clear, all MAHA has accomplished is putting cane sugar into Coke and removing red food dye. They’ve also destroyed the CDC and public confidence in vaccines. They claim to want “healthy living” yet we’re getting forever chemicals in our food. It was never about health.

We are thrilled to now be on BlueSky! We prioritize studies addressing critical health challenges—from major diseases to health equity—that bridge scientific rigor with real-world impact, connecting researchers, clinicians, and policymakers to advance global health 🧬🧪 #OpenScience #MedSky

We always see a surge of infectious disease, including COVID, RSV, etc etc around Thanksgiving and Christmas. Unless you want to gift your fam with a few weeks sick this year, mask up as you travel!

When NIH would decide not to fund a high-scoring grant, it used to have to explain why. The regime has now ordered it to stop providing reasoning for rejecting high-scoring proposals.

"Hi my name is Marcie, I am nearly 12 years old, I was diagnosed with Long Covid last year but I have been having symptoms since 2021" www.youtube.com/watch?v=9817... #ChildHealth #LongCovidKids #LongCovid

The rationale behind these studies, Seltzer contests, is [that] “it presumes that the patient had never heard of exercise until a doctor told them [it] exists.” Thanks to Simon Spichak for putting this idea into print. I've said multiple times in interviews that it's the strangest part... 🧵

So 7 Hlth Dept is involved with a new initiative called Grandparents for Vaccines to tout the benefits of vaccines to ease the concerns about them, mostly through misinformation. Please share our message; it's more important than ever! www.wsiu.org/community-up...

This was the H5N5 patient. "Public health officials are continuing to monitor anyone who was in contact with the patient — including more than 100 health care workers — for symptoms to ensure that human-to-human spread has not occurred." www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

We are getting ever closer to the threat of another Pandemjc and with RFK in charge I dread to think what could happen. This is a very good time to be reconsidering wearing an ffp2/3. COVID can also vascular damage and even vaccinated you can still suffer long covid. We need layered mitigations. 🧵

People with #MECFS, and many with #LongCOVID experience post-exertional malaise: a flare of symptoms after activity. The response is disproportionate to the activity and can lead to permanent drops in functional capacity. www.mayoclinicproceedings.org/article/s0025-6196(23)00402-0/fulltext

I'm quote tweeting not as a dunk, but there's an influencer who got offered a free IV drip and as a result has been dealing with the flesh eating bacteria for years now. A lot of these medi-spas are not well regulated and opening your arm to them has real infection risks.

Santa Fe is now the first city to tie the minimum wage to the cost of rent. The Santa Fe City Council voted to raise its minimum wage from $15/hr to $17.50 by 2027 — but they also added another provision. Future increases will factor in inflation, and the price of housing.

In a new phase 3 trial, people randomly assigned to receive a flu shot made with modified mRNA were 34.5% less likely to be diagnosed with an influenza-like illness than people given a standard flu shot made with inactivated virus. We need to stop the anti-science attacks against mRNA vaccines!

Time to disregard the CDC website. It’s just RFK jr fantasy at this point.

The group is presenting a medical bill of harms if GSL goes. They warn of toxic metals and increased air pollution. While they like the $200 million to help the lake, they say Utah government should match it and halt future diversions that harm it. #utpol #Utah

The Trump Administration is abandoning plans for the biggest-ever cut to Social Security Disability Insurance, which would have hit older workers hardest. The rule would have devastated up to 1.5 million workers' financial stability, retirement security & access to health care. wapo.st/4o48J24

INCREDIBLE CURVES

This is hell actually, "Last week, the two top officials at the National Institutes of Health—the world’s largest public funder of biomedical research—debuted a new plan to help Americans weather the next pandemic: getting everyone to eat better and exercise."

Today on Volts: for years, I've wanted to do a podcast on indoor air quality, and I finally found the perfect guest! Dr. Lagoudas & I discuss indoor air pollutants, the policies and technologies that can control them, and the growing need to frame indoor air quality as a basic human right.

Excellent public health messaging from New York City!! Be the happy peace sign waving emoji instead of the sick and sniffling emoji. How can you do that? Wear a mask! Ideally a respirator like an N95. It’ll help keep you and your community safe.

Huh. Who knew that installing air filters in classrooms have large educational benefits? Other than every COVID informed person on the planet.

1) 🇺🇸 The RECOVER study published its data on Long COVID trajectories. Of those infected with SARS-CoV-2 infection, 5% had persistently high Long COVID-related symptom burden. An additional 12% had a high burden that fluctuated but did not improve over time.

This should alarm everyone. On Thursday, Florida, by unanimous vote, became the first state in the country to adopt “The Phoenix Declaration: An American Vision for Education.” It was written by the Heritage Foundation, the same group behind Project 2025. THIS IS INDOCTRINATION
