Five years after the rollout of Covid-19 vaccines started, it seems the mystery of why the Astra-Zeneca and J&J vaccines led to a rare but deadly side effect of unusual blood clots and bleeding has finally been solved. 
 It's a fascinating case of molecular mimicry that may help make vaccine safer.🧪

I taught here for 2 summers while doing my PhD a million years ago. Sad to see it close.

Iowans: another chance to submit comments opposing the removal of vaccine mandates. Subcommittee meeting tomorrow 12:15 Central. (Click "add comments"). All comments so far are in support so antivax groups have already circulated this.

“Cut ICE’s budget to restore federal health care funding” is an extremely popular message www.politico.com/f/?id=000001...

Well, well, well. This study finding at leucovorin (folinic acid) works as a treatment for autism was recently retracted for statistical errors and concerns over methods. We are shocked❗️that yet another of RFKJ’s snake oil cures doesn’t stand up to scrutiny. www.medpagetoday.com/neurology/au...

The costco rotisserie chicken is literally cheaper than making it at home.

Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate — overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.

Jha says Oz is doing "a very good job overseeing CMS." What that job has looked like: rescinding emergency abortion care protections, proposing a nationwide ban on trans youth healthcare, gutting Medicaid, and wrapping it all in a racialized fraud narrative www.patreon.com/posts/150452...

Vinay Prasad failed at vaccine ethics 101. You cannot use a placebo when a previously effective vaccine is already available. He wants to take vaccines away.

This is absurd. Prasad's FDA is simply refusing to review Moderna's mRNA flu vaccine, which seems to work pretty well. He says it wasn't compared to the right vaccine but per the article it was so...

It is absolutely outrageous that Moderna’s flu vaccine was met with a “refusal-to-file” even after their approved their protocol with FDA and carried out the trial as agreed. This vaccine works better in older adults than the current flu vaccines. apnews.com/article/mode...

Vinay Prasad of the FDA has broken with the usual approval process and refuses to review Moderna’s new flu shot. He claims that the proposed clinical trial, which would compare the new vaccine to an already approved one, “does not reflect the best-available standard of care”.

Vinay citing Emily Oster while having a conversation with Megyn Kelly about...*checks notes*...raw milk is just almost too much to bear.

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

congratulations everyone

His uncle had Addison's disease, a chronic uncurable health condition. He was treated by the best doctors and medications available at the time and his medical care certainly wasn't free.

This week marks a year since 10% of the CDC work force was fired. We are more vulnerable to the next pandemic,outbreak monitoring is crumbling, measles is basically endemic again,vaccine guidelines are now RFK Jr fan fiction. All it took was one year.

FINALLY it was almost 50F today and I got my ass out on a trail. With every step I sank in to my ankles but it was outside and I was not frozen after 2 minutes of exposure.

His argument is disingenuous. On its face it doesn’t seem like a big ask to show ID to vote, but the SAVE act requires that one show PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP to vote, not just a driver’s license or some other form of ID. So I encourage everyone to read the act to understand how onerous it could be.

The Heritage Foundation has released a 250-year roadmap to “save America.” The document is a how-to guide for subjugating girls & young women: a detailed plan to push them out of college, funnel them into early marriage and motherhood, and then trap them there. jessica.substack.com/p/theyre-com...

Redfield is a Trump appointee and known crank. If COVID was circulating in summer of 2019, the entire timeline of the pandemic would be different. Chinese authorities were not "pushing the wet market narrative," they actively covered it up. What is happening to people's brains over there

To make my heart melt even more, the groom is a registered nurse 💕

The high proportion of US scientists among those recruited by France shows that “enthusiasm and morale for doing science is low” in the US, says Sharon Milgram, who led early-career researcher programs at NIH for nearly 20 years, until she retired in December. By @lizziegibney.bsky.social and me

Saw them with Brandi a few years back locally at Blossom. So good.

A recent study confirms that administering the #hepatitisB #vaccine at birth is safe and significantly reduces infections, countering the CDC's new position on delaying the vaccine. Hepatitis B poses serious health risks, including cancer. www.skepticalraptor.com/skepticalrap...

President Mandela said, "there can be no keener revelation of a society's soul than the way in which it treats its children."

As @postguild.bsky.social assesses the damage from last week’s layoffs, it turns out between 44% and 47.5% of the newsroom has been axed. It “may have been the biggest one-day wipeout of journalists in a generation.” washingtonian.com/2026/02/09/a...

$1.65M per day in DC alone. That’s approximately two NIH R01 Grant *years* burned per day. Ninety *five year* R01s projects burned in the last seven months with no end in sight. Instead of lasting scientific advance we get….what? Civil rights violations and authoritarian replacement of democracy.

Sorry you lost your healthcare; we need to build more concentration camps.

This commercial validated my decision to never buy/install a ring camera. What in the dystopian fuck

Missed Bad Bunny’s halftime show? Want to rewatch? (4x and counting for me). The NFL posted the whole performance on YouTube: on pace for 500k views in the first 30 minutes.

Disturbingly detailed analysis of my first rewatch incoming

Since confirmed by Lincoln’s instagram – his parents (presumably; he’s 5) posted a halftime show video clip with the caption “I'll remember this day forever! @badbunnypr - it was my truest honor”

It's not even midnight and we're already at "Deport Elmo."

Of course this was the dude behind the MAHA ad.

Sports reporter with NBC News reporting that the couple in Bad Bunny’s halftime show got married for real

It was transforming the biggest NFL stage in the world into a sugar cane plantation that did it for me. Like, the multiple layers of turning an American icon into a plantation and highlighting the history of exploitation of Black and Brown bodies by the NFL and American colonialism simultaneously?

“If I’m here at Super Bowl LX, it’s because I never stopped believing in myself. You should never stop believing in yourself either. It’s worth more than you think.” —Bad Bunny

Ok that prostate cancer screening one was pretty good.

Bad Bunny just did something trump could never do; named all the countries in the Americas. #BadBunny

Puerto Rico hasn't had reliable power in a decade. The grid sends occasional surges through the wires that fry appliances. Electricity rates are among the highest in the entire U.S. Heat waves are getting intense in the summer, and outages mean A/C is no guarantee for an aging population.

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

Remember that under the first Trump administration, Puerto Rico had to suffer through the longest power blackout in U.S. history bsky.app/profile/cost...

Someone is going to write a dissertation about this half time show and I will read it.

Man this celebration of life and joy must be so infuriating to your local shithead

Someone just finished writing a novel. Spoiler: It was me. It's called "Monsters of Ohio," it's my 20th novel, and it'll be out in November. I hope you'll like it. I'm very tired.
