A decade ago, 'Multiple NATO nations have deployed troops in Greenland to dissuade America from invading' would have sounded like absolute howling insanity. Now it's not even the most unhinged thing in the news in any given week.

Ich möchte an dieser Stelle einmal an Roland Jäger @rolandjaeger.bsky.social erinnern. Vor einem Jahr, am 27. November 2024, ist er viel zu früh verstorben. Solche Menschen wie ihn brauchen wir heute mehr denn je. #TeamVernunft #TeamWissenschaft

Rest in Power, Alice Wong.

So, damit wäre anekdotisch bewiesen, dass Man(n) in diesem Fall meiner) sich auch unter #Antihistaminika #Desloratadin mit #Covid anstecken kann😭. Gestern Abend komisches Halsgefühl und schwere Glieder, heute morgen positiver #Pluslife Test. Ein paar gedrückte Daumen wären nicht verkehrt 🤕.

“She explained how much Covid could hurt her & how vulnerable it felt to be unable to wear a mask to protect herself. She was a perfect example of why other people need to wear masks even if they don’t personally think Covid will hurt them” If you want to honour Alice Wong’s memory, please mask up

Eine Krankheit, die mit Globuli verschwindet, klingt auch ohne Globuli ab. Und wenn es nicht besser wird, sprechen Globuli-Anhänger von „Erstverschlimmerung“. Alles Kokolores!

Ah, dingens, #Novavax. Spät, doch hoffentlich nicht zu spät für manche. Mittwoch 19.11. und Samstsg 22.11.25, jenseits der STIKO. #Impfung #Pforzheim die-impfstelle.de

Wenn jemand krank zu sein scheint: geht! Lasst den Termin platzen und verlasst den Raum. Wenn euer Gegenüber kein Verantworrungsbewusstsein hat, müsst ihr für euch selber sorgen.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

Trumpist fascism is coming for everyone. Yes, you too. This time it was a legal resident of New Hampshire (a) with an American-citizen child, (b) married to an American-citizen cardiologist.

To sum it up -Long COVID & ME/CFS cost Germany €63.1 billion in 2024 -Cases increase over time under the status quo (lack of prevention & cures) -Levels of funding for research, care & treatment of ME/CFS & Long COVID remain too low What's the plan for prevention & research, @bmg-bund.bsky.social?

But: "general efforts and levels of funding allocated to advance and improve the research, care and treatment of ME/CFS historically, and both ME/CFS and Long COVID to the present day, remain disproportionately low compared with similarly burdensome diseases"

And: "The ME/CFS caseload will likely continue to increase, mostly driven by a continued progression from the pool of Long COVID cases to ME/CFS cases and low recovery rates. Long COVID cases may also increase over time under the current scenario of repeat SARS-CoV-2 infections."

According to the study: "between 2020 and 2024, Long COVID and ME/CFS cost Germany more than €250 billion. In 2024 alone, Long COVID and ME/CFS cost Germany €63.1 billion, equating to 1.5% of the nation's GDP" Where is the money for cures & prevention?

Kosten für Long COVID und ME/CFS in Deutschland Von 2020 bis 2024 betrugen die Kosten für Long COVID und ME/CFS in Deutschland mehr als 250 Milliarden Euro. Allein im Jahr 2024 kosten Long COVID und ME/CFS Deutschland 63,1 Milliarden Euro, was 1,5 % des deutschen BIP entspricht.

New study reveals the cost of #LongCovid & #MECFS in Germany since the beginning of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic & calls for: - Improving our baseline understanding of Long COVID & ME/CFS - Lowering overall infection rate - Reducing severity & increasing recovery rates mecfs-research.org/en/costrepor...

3. Internationale ME/CFS-Forschungskonferenz der Charité in Berlin „Fridbjörn Sigurdsson aus Island berichtet vom Aufbau der Akureyri-Klinik für #MECFS und Long COVID. Er fragte einen Patienten: „Wenn Sie wählen könnten – Long COVID oder Krebs?“ Die Antwort war klar. Und zutiefst ernüchternd.“

BREAKING: The constitutional crisis has arrived. We knew it was coming, just not when.

Without due process, this could be you. It could be me. It could be any or all of us. It doesn’t matter who you voted for. Or the color of your skin. You must understand what is truly at stake here. All tyranny needs to thrive is for people of good conscience to remain silent.

Unser Paper "Modellierung der COVID-Infektionszahlen in Deutschland 2020–2024" ist online Zusammen mit @rv-enigma.bsky.social, @martin46er1.bsky.social, Stefan Neefischer und Prof. H. Dormann haben wir versucht, die tatsächliche Anzahl (inkl. Dunkelziffer) an COVID Infektionen in DE abzuschätzen

Im Supplement unseres Papers "Modellierung der COVID-Infektionszahlen in Deutschland (2020–2024)" haben wir unsere Modellzahlen mit verschiedenen, öffentlich zugänglichen Quellen verglichen. Ein Thread dazu:

Guidelines about accommodating people with disabilities are being scrubbed from the Justice departments website in an effort to … reduce the cost of groceries. Once again disabled people are targeted because the government assumes no one will speak up for us. Speak up. We need you.

WTF constitutional crisis apple.news/AHi58epDIT1O...

A large research program at Columbia that was focused on ME/CFS has been forced to close due to Trump funding cuts. ME/CFS is already underfunded, misinformed and rife with stigma. Patients with this condition desperately need more dedicated research, not less www.statnews.com/2025/03/19/m...

Now we know how COVID attacks your heart: Even patients with mild COVID symptoms could face a higher risk of developing heart disease and stroke #ThatCovidLife #CovidIsNotOver

increasingly convinced that DOGE isn't so much an office of the white house or a federal advisory committee as much as it is a criminal organization in the RICO sense

Le Monde reporting that a French scientist traveling to Houston to attend a conference was denied entry to US after a search of his phone & computer revealed messages critical of Trump's science cuts, "which [says CPB] conveyed hatred of Trump & could be qualified as terrorism". Computer confiscated

Indeed, visiting the US is becoming a travel hazard... 😕

Bonkers. French researcher on its way to a conference was denied US entry and his electronic equipment seized after computer searched and anti-Trmp *messages* found. Even if CNRS doesn't put the US on the travel black list (which they likely will do), it's clearly not safe to go there 😨

Post exposure prophylaxis would be a game changer for so many of us trying to avoid COVID. Even better if we could get a time of pre exposure prophylaxis!
