Our thymus, a critical source and trainer of T cells, involutes with aging. 2 new studies find a growth factor (FGF21) that delays involution (in mouse models) and may be a way to rejuvenate our immune system and promote healthy aging in the future.

That #covid infection does less for your immunity system than you think it does. "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." www.gavi.org/vaccineswork...

Protests at Tesla dealerships in multiple US states today.

BREAKING: Currently happening at the Manhattan Tesla Dealership. Mass Protests calling to boycott Tesla.

Looks like American businesses are starting to ration egg purchases. When retail businesses and Fox News are noticing, you know bird flu spread in farms is getting past the denial stage.

Useful read, though it only addresses official systems, not unofficial ones that folks are building to support fellow human beings.

I created hundreds of graphics about Covid, masking, airborne, & collected hundreds more from others. PLEASE SHARE & PRINT AS FAR AS POSSIBLE, that's why I made them. No credit is needed. Videos, gifs as well. Sticker, pins & T-shirts. See the ReadMe. drive.google.com/drive/folder...

Surrounded by cowards. I am so tired. Say goodbye to infectious disease research in the U.S. for the near future. It was already really hard before, but now it is going to be impossible.

ILLINOIS: Grassroots group Care Not COVID Chicago & partner orgs announce the Protective Medical Equipment Freedom Act, which guarantees the right to mask for any reason w/o disclosure of medical exemptions or info. Share your story of need & support: bit.ly/maskbill
