Dr. Katelyn Jetelina: Covid vaccines for pregnancy and babies: Sorting fact from chaos open.substack.com/pub/yourloca...

Jetzt braucht es nur noch Akademika, die auch dafür einstehen

Immunologie von Rheuma funktioniert wohl doch anders als mit Viren oder Impfungen. Kann man dann wohl auch nen Haken dran machen. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Measles spreads quickly. Now a preventable death in Canada www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

If only Germany had good university websites or even actual standardised PhD programmes for that matter. Another lost opportunity

ab welchem Zeitpunkt diskutiert man mal "Beugehaft"? Wär doch auch mal interessant

As a non-economist I always wonder whether this is just the initial loss in year 1, rather than annually. Wouldn't you expect that the loss spirals on through service and supply chains, i.e. less demand, less hires, less production or service outcome all the way down the chain?

I know of 13 studies that have looked at #fertility following mRNA #CovidVaccination, all finding no effect. Yet misinformation that COVID vaccination harms fertility is *still* circulating! I spoke to @sciencefeedback.bsky.social #MedSky #ReproSky #VaccineSky #IDSky

"Save" 20 Billion and lose 8 Trillion (8,000,000,000,000) as a consequence. Guess this one is even worse than bankrupting some casinos jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

"Gold Standard Science"

Everyone involved in trying to pass off that ChatGPT-extruded disinformation manifesto as a scientific report should be, at the very least, barred from public office for life. The MAHA report is dangerous criminal misconduct and an offence to the process of science.

Choose Science. Choose Europe. A new Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellowships 2025 call is now open. With a budget of €404.3 million, it will support around 1,650 researchers from Europe and beyond. Apply by 10 September → europa.eu/!fBTMgF

'To our knowledge, this is the largest meta-analysis to date evaluating outcomes in patients diagnosed with or treated for active cancer within three years prior to their index SARS-CoV-2 case, and includes over 280,000 patients with cancer and more than 18 million controls.'

"...the science has not changed."

He is "pleased"

Man liebt das Anfeuern zu akademischen Barieren einfach

Let’s be real, they claim taking prescription meds is a marker of poor health while simultaneously thinking it’s good to slurp down a handful of largely unregulated supplements every day with little evidence of benefit. They dont take issue with pills. They just worship at the altar of big wellness.

And don't forget that postdocs are on J-1 visas as well, so that this goes much further than "just" students. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Really interesting study on MMR vaccine after-effects from the 1980s. Twins were given either MMR or a placebo, and then three weeks later, swapped (so both twins ultimately vaccinated). What side effects were more common ONLY in the vaccinated twin?

open.substack.com/pub/pauloffi... RFK Jr. promised "radical transparency" as Secretary of HHS. Apparently, he didn't mean it.

One thing about the NIH director's statement though - science and scientific knowledge isn't believing. This isn't church. You can't pick and chose and then believe what fits your beliefs.

Good to see fact checks directly on the video of a non-live programme, rather than leaving anything and everything stand unchallenged. Should be an example for the countless German talk show formats as well

For some new projects in our lab - do you guys use a tool to run and simultaneously annotate bash codes from Visual Studio Code (we are using WSL) that helps up to keep better track on our scripts??

This is a really nice summary of the history of this vaccine epiellie.substack.com/p/the-diphth...

Are there companies making iron lungs that trade shares?

The US State Department warns people not to travel to countries like the United States:

Seems to fit the entire picture in the US that RFK Jr. goes swimming with his family in sewage-contaminated creeks. Maybe just in luck that the outbreak is at the other end of the country

18 months visa makes to total sense** when the undergrad courses are 3-4 years and therefore you leave half the course hanging up in the air. **sarcasm

99% sure the choice of Pope is just to troll Trump
