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

This is Magnus. He just beat cancer. His family wrote the big news on their car and bought him balloons to celebrate. Magnus got so much love from strangers the whole way home. His human said, "I hope everyone has a Magnus in their lives, who shows them what determination and strength are." 14/10

This World AIDS Day, we remember the hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers lost to HIV and AIDS, and those living with HIV today. We must remind ourselves and each other that the fight isn’t over until the epidemic is over for everyone.

Here's another 🚨🧵 by Zdenek Vrozina (also today): "A study comparing the immune system 3 months after COVID-19 and after influenza shows something clear. SARS-CoV-2 leaves behind a far deeper and longer-lasting immune imprint than seasonal flu..." 16-tweet 🧵: threadreaderapp.com/thread/19955...

Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s. This is the power of vaccines. The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer. Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!

...since MTG is resigning, now would be a great time to assess the pensions of all former government representatives...what y'all think???

Folks, if your library doesn’t have a book you want to read, ask them to buy a copy. Most have a convenient form and will let you know when it comes in. If your library offers ILL, they can even borrow books from other libraries.

Appreciate @nationalacademies.org speaking up about the RFK jr directed changes to CDC website and pointing out that the science cited did not include the greater context or full body of research. Where is the “radical transparency”?

When you are at the vet, always ask questions. What do you hope to learn from that diagnostic test? What treatment(s) do you recommend? Is there a procedure that is less invasive? Can we start with one test, i.e. X-ray, then decide if you should draw blood? Sometimes 1 test will reveal the issue.

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays: Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink. If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business. Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

This is concerning. NIH is changing their policy so that staff have to prepare justification for every application that is funded BUT NO DOCUMENTATION FOR APPLICATIONS THAT ARE SKIPPED (BASED ON PERCENTILES). 1/2

Some vaccines like COVID and flu don’t stop completely stop infection. But they do reduce the risk of getting infected and greatly reduce severe illness risk. They are still worth getting. Since they are not 100% effective it’s also wise to add another layer of protection by wearing a mask.

Home Depot could implement a policy requiring ICE to present a judicial warrant before operating on its property. Businesses are fully within their rights to decide who is allowed on their premises.

“They can't surrender the rooms, because you surrender the rooms, and that's just another piece of their kid that's gone,” explains Steve Hartman, who has been documenting the rooms of children murdered in school shootings. Many have been untouched for years. cbsn.ws/4o778sl

One of the most important—and saddest—COVID articles I’ve read this year.

“Pre-Omicron, infection meant you had 80% protection against re-infection one year later. Post-Omicron, this has fallen to 5% protection at one year, highlighting that vaccination is more important than ever for people with vulnerable immune systems.” NB: this is immunity against REINFECTION
