Health officials — who are scrambling to get a handle on the vaccine-preventable outbreak — suspect 200 to 300 people in West Texas are infected with measles but untested, and therefore not part of the state’s official tally so far.

This change will accomplish one thing - kill medical research in US academic institutions. That's not hyperbole and the best way I can explain this to the lay public. Slashing indirect costs to 15% is a move to destroy the academic enterprise. Pass it on. www.statnews.com/2025/02/07/n...

Thrilled our 1st paper is out that demonstrates that Toxoplasma proteins are in human spinal fluid. This case highlights the rare danger from toxo when patients are on TNF blockade, but the bigger question is whether "asymptomatic" chronic toxo also has peptides. doi.org/10.1016/j.he...

The CDC ordered to stop working with WHO immediately. The policy applied to all CDC staff engaging with WHO “through technical working groups, coordinating centers, advisory boards, cooperative agreements or other means — in person or virtual.” What’s the end game here?? #BlueSky #MedSky 🧪

This court action DISGUSTS me. Yet I also think it is poor journalism to describe these businesses as "Christian affiliated". Maybe religious extremists is appropriate but this is far from any common effort supported across the very diverse people and organizations that practice christianity
