The New Mexico congressional delegation is pleading with RFK Jr. to promote vaccination and provide other resources in the wake of the measles outbreak. Instead, Kennedy says that the death of a school-aged child as “not unusual”. He can’t get out of his anti-vax corner. His ego is paramount.

Cool. It now looks like ferrihydrite, an iron oxide containing water, gives Mars its redness—so its iconic color probably is from when Mars was water-covered! www.universetoday.com/171086/a-new...

I’m so sad about Michelle Trachtenberg. I was a huge fan of her work, from the early Pete and Pete and Harriet The Spy days, through Buffy and Euro Trip, to Gossip Girl. A tragic death taken too early. May she rest in peace on the other side 🌸

Sad to hear about Michelle Trachtenberg... May her soul rest in peace ! ❤️ You never know what battles others are fighting. Reminds us to be kind to each other..... And to never take this life for granted.🙏

I can’t watch privileged liberals freak out just like they did 8 years ago and then self-soothe with a refusal to shop at some store or another, and then go back to sleep, knowing whatever Trump does won’t really affect them.

An advanced type of MRI scan uncovered "significant" problems in the lungs of children and teenagers who had long COVID: https://talker.pub/3DgX4LZ #COVID #health #studies #research #science

An unexpected up-side to staying home forever because you avoid plagues: I don't do any of these things anyway #StayHomeStaySafe #COVIDIsNotOver #H5N1

Got the RZ M3 n99 mask on today. Fits great, is comfortable and comes with this belt pouch that holds multiple straps and a spare filter

The White Lotus season 3 using a KN95 for a robbery scene is a…choice. And a big L, in my opinion.

Still not happy with @bsky.app lack of lists for sorting topics. That’s how I used Twitter without having to swim through loads of irrelevant tweets. Now I guess I have to pick one single topic, and that’s it for Bluesky, and don’t follow anyone interested in anything else? Stupid.

Every time I update Apple, it opts me into their “Apple Intelligence” AI in the OS. I do not want AI in my OS, so I have to turn it off manually. Sick of programmers trying to force things on me, and this is an industry that relies on tricking you into doing what they want.

I can't help but think they sacrificed a whole generation of children to kill off a generation of elderly. #CovidIsNotOver

#Disability #LongCovid "The majority of those with Long COVID did not resolve, with less than 2% having resolved Long COVID. The resolved Long COVID cohort had moderately worse physical and mental health compared with those never-having-Long COVID." www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Same in UK (>3mill people crippled) and very many other places. We're invisible, completely on our own, unless you want some (UK) talking therapy. It's beyond cruel. Can't even get an immune-system blood test. Still little or no masking/HEPA in hospitals, anywhere. #LongCovid is Taboo, like #MECFS

Please remember that the ability to boycott can often be a privilege. Some folks are too poor to shop anywhere more expensive. Some folks don't have transportation, or are disabled, and can only shop places that offer delivery and can't afford to pay the fees for things like instacart/etc

Y'know ... If medicine had taken those of us with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome a lot more seriously for the last few decades, we might be a lot further along in our ability to now handle Long COVID. Just sayin'. — flexibeast.space/thoughts.htm... #cfs #chronicillness #disability

SCOOP: Trump administration has been evaluating the costs of destroying or disposing of tens of millions of coronavirus tests that would otherwise be provided free to Americans. My story w/ Carolyn Y. Johnson. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

We did not address the efficacy of exercise as a treatment, but our findings do NOT support that deconditioning or bed rest explains the skeletal muscle abnormalities in Long COVID. #PEM is a distinct symptom that is poorly understood and not analogous to other www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A pious man is ill after many COVID infections and as he is about to die, he cries to God, "Lord, why did you forsake me? I prayed and prayed and believed, and yet here I am." And God replied, "I sent N95 masks, vaccines, ventilation, filtration, and you ignored them all. Sorry."

It’s More Than Just Fatigue – Long COVID in kids can cause neurological, cardiovascular, respiratory, and immune system dysfunction, affecting their ability to learn, play, and grow. #PediatricHealth

Biden failed by pretending Covid was over. Biden didn't do ring vaccination for H5N1, he didn't invest funds in testing, & he didn't mandate disposal of dead animals. No public health campaign, no #CleanAir mandate or masks. Biden dropped the ball & Trump won't be picking it up.

You know why getting long covid is worse than preventing it? Because there are no treatments. None. Zero. Zilch. Five years in, we have no reliable way of curing long covid. I’m not kidding: no approved treatments. Nothing. And we still have *no idea* what the long term outcome is for patients.

It's half-term, so lots of teachers are posting about not having to go to work. I didn't have to wear this today. My children didn't need to wear theirs either. It's good to have a break. #YallMasking #SaltingTheVibes #FFP3 #FFP2 #MaskUp #CovidIsNotOver #CovidIsAirborne

A University of Washington clinic is one of a few in the nation that provides treatment and research on Long COVID, but faces new federal funding challenges. www.cascadepbs.org/news/2025/02...

BREAKING NEWS: YOU CAN'T KALE & YOGA YOUR WAY OUT OF LONG COVID.

ProPublica and @texastribune.org have identified nearly a dozen immigrants who have been flown to Guantanamo Bay. Government officials have refused to release the names of detainees or provide details about the crimes that landed them in detention. By Perla Trevizo and @micarosenberg.bsky.social

It's always been the case that "buying" an ebook from amazon was only actually a loan they could rescind at any point, but lately Amazon have gone harder on this, and it is 100% so that they can wipe banned books from your libraries without your consent. Buy direct from authors. Get your files.

Infection by #COVID is a consequential new variable in our nation’s health that can substantially increase the incidence of serious conditions such as neurological disease, heart attack and stroke. Approximately 6% of U.S. adults suffer from #longCOVID. www.latimes.com/opinion/stor...

Scientists just rewrote our understanding of epigenetics DNA and RNA epigenetics, once thought to be separate, have now been found to work together to fine-tune gene expression. www.livescience.com/health/genet...

The early days of Covid showed us that if the government wanted - they could take care of everyone. They could provide a universal basic income, accommodate the needs of disabled people who had been pleading for remote healthcare & other services for years. They could keep us fed, safe and housed 🧵

I just saw some post from someone saying the alternative to Airbnb is making friendships with adults who live all over the place and staying with them when you travel which is literally one of the most ridiculous things I’ve heard as an alternative to staying at a hotel or using vrbo.

Funny, Even #Russia gave Covid Data. One Country was missing any data #China coronavirus.jhu.edu/map.html

It’s the last few years that have convinced me humans will NOT get together and fix any of the problems they’ve caused. We’re a destructive invasive species that believes it’s the job of the least powerful to clean up the mess while those at the top keep destroying more. But…
