Well well well. The AP researched the list of 800 “doctors” who submitted a letter endorsing RFK Jr… and found most weren’t doctors. They found an accountant, a health “coach,” a Jan 6er, etc. And some who were doctors had had their licenses revoked or suspended. He must NOT be confirmed.

T cells get hungry! Check out Shixin Ma's new paper showing nutrient switching controls T cell exhaustion. Nutrients metabolized in the nucleus by ACSS2 and ACLY direct histone acetylation at key loci via binding to specific HATs, indicating a metabolic code guides our histone code. @science.org

💯Clean air delivery rate (CADR) is more important than HEPA rating! I have been buying portable air cleaners for the lab and home that are not HEPA-level but offer a high CADR per dollar spent and low noise. Marwa Zaatari's comparison chart from 2021 is a good way to think about this.

The last half of the 1990s was when the false image of ME/CFS as a “yuppie“ disease began to crumble, thanks to good work done by Leonard Jason and others like this west coast group. I had been ill for over 13 years before the CDC finally acknowledged that Black people like me could have ME/CFS.

I don’t have the answers to assisted dying concerns … but what I DO know is we must centre the voices of disabled people who have the most to lose under these programs. For those who believe Canada has strong safeguards - please read this case of someone dying due to lack of safe housing:

Please remember to test before gathering for the holidays. You could asymptomatically pass on a Covid infection that could cause great harm to another. And just because comparatively few people test now doesn’t make it right.

There are creepy stories about MAID in Canada where basic support is cut to make life tolerable. Welfare support lines are a dead end of “your call is important to us” but the support line to access MAID is answered immediately by a friendly operator. Next come papers about how much money it saves.

Last call for stories from patients (or caregivers) who had difficulty getting healthcare workers to mask. If you had pushback, reduction in care, were infected with Covid, experienced retaliation or accusations of “anxiety”… I want to hear from you 👇🏼!
