Musk’s hackers burglarized "a vast trove of information about the entire federal workforce” on OPM computers even as Trump was being sworn in — that is "hours before Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, was officially created by an executive order.” www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

A child has died in Texas from #measles, which is a vaccine preventable disease. Yet neither the HHS Secretary, nor his department, nor the #CDC has publicly urged parents of unvaccinated children to get their kids vaccinated. The silence is stunning. www.statnews.com/2025/02/27/t...

1. #CDC was finally allowed to issue a statement on the Texas #measles outbreak, though it wasn't sent to the press distribution list or posted on its homepage. They tweeted it in the other place at 8:29 pm EST. Communication by whisper. www.cdc.gov/media/releas...

In normal times, I'd have written about this #MMWR report about some of the kids who've died from #flu this year having had a severe neurological condition called influenza-associated encephalopathy or encephalitis. Glad to see @cidrap.bsky.social did write! www.cidrap.umn.edu/influenza-ge...

When civil rights for one group are removed all of us lose our rights. This is a disgusting attack on trans folks and all of our rights by extension.

There's been a lot of good discussion about the Cross Country Cock-up that happened over the weekend. Maybe I'm a bit late, but I think it's important to go exactly HOW the program shifted annexation of Canada into the realm of public acceptance. Check out my latest.

Elon Musk, an unelected, fascist oligarch, has bought the presidency and is carrying out a swift coup to consolidate power. We need to have a frank conversation about what has happened, what it will mean, and how we must resist this as individuals. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/a-coup-in-...

It’s time to start wrapping our heads around the real possibility that collective action and even a general strike are required. Musk is working fast to solidify control, do as much damage as possible, and party “opposition” is not up to the fight. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/collective...

This is major #H5N1 news: While, so far, dairy cows in the US were infected by genotype B3.13, genotype D1.1 was found in Nevada via the national milk testing strategy. If confirmed that it's not a bird intrusion into a milk tank, this means that there has been a new spillover into dairy cows.

There are 24 hours in a day. This isn't politics—it's physics. So when Musk claims to run multiple global companies while seizing control of Treasury systems and shuttering federal agencies, we're watching a constitutional crisis hidden behind an obvious impossibility.

The first hint I had that something was amiss in late December, 2019, was a post from @helenbranswell.bsky.social about a pneumonia of unknown etiology in Wuhan, China. Here's Helen speaking about three recent, abnormal H5N1 cases. It's not panic time yet, but it's worth paying attention.

You couldn't make it up. The New York Times, so active in getting people repeatedly infected, slips out a quiet little article saying that Covid infections can raise the risk of heart problems for years. Can we please stop pretending? archive.md/eNWvM

Genetic sequencing of the #H5N1 #birdflu virus from the Canadian teenager shows worrying changes. It doesn't mean H5 is taking off — but it's a reminder that it might, says @scottehensley.bsky.social. "This is exactly the scenario that we fear.” www.statnews.com/2024/11/18/b...

1. California's Dept of Public Health reports a #birdflu case in a child with no known contact with infected animals. They're looking into possible wild bird exposure. Oddly, the press release doesn't say which type of bird flu (there are many). I'm assuming #H5N1. Specimen being sent to #CDC.

California Dept of Public Health confirms that the child tested positive for an #H5 #birdflu virus. Still needs to be confirmed by #CDC.

Last week, a teenager in British Columbia contracted H5N1, the first human case acquired in Canada. The BC CDC and and Canadian Food Inspection Agency have released sequences from this infected person and domestic and wild birds sampled in BC, which we've just added to Nextstrain. A thread:
