4 members of #CDC's vaccine expert panel have received termination notices — their special gov't employee contracts have expired. Not clear if job cutting has hamstrung the bureaucracy or if more is at play here. But unless they get new SGEs they can't serve on #ACIP www.statnews.com/2025/06/08/c...

Today I was accused of not doing enough to fight for disabled people. Shamed for not being at protests or more active in boycotts. I’m housebound, almost completely bedbound. I would love to be out protesting, but my body can’t do it. I can’t help anyone if I don’t survive🧵

🧵 The BBC has long played a vital role in creating epistemic stability, a sense that facts are verifiable, disagreement has boundaries, and news has standards. That’s not trivial. It’s one reason the UK hasn’t yet experienced full epistemic collapse.

A new era of government censorship has begun. It started with the silencing of scientific speech, when the admin blocked release of research on bird flu. But MAGA has also cracked down on other wrongthink—on race, geography (!), and of course Trump himself www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Gotta say, when the studies dropped showing Covid causes erectile dysfunction… I thought people would pay attention. When they said you should avoid Covid for months before trying to conceive? Same. Now we see the virus persists in semen… will anyone care?

The masks ICE agents wear aren’t masks. They’re face coverings designed to hide their identity. The masks disabled people have been pleading to normalize are KN95s, N95s and other respirators. Which will help protect you from COVID & other airborne threats! Normalize masking for public health.

Folk tune "Hickory Dickory Dock" may have been inspired by the astronomical clock at Exeter Cathedral. The clock gears were greased with animal fat, which attracted mice, which is why it ALSO may have one of the oldest extant cat flaps, installed in 1598 in the area where the gears were located.

Hugely important. Some of us (ahem) are old enough that MMR wasn't widely available and yet lucky enoughto have avoided infection. We are all eligible for a two-shot MMR booster at the GP. As uptake in juvenile groups declines and epidemics follow, this could literally be life saving. #VaccinesWork

Illness is a favorite weapon of fascists. It’s a method of control, via death of undesirable groups, disability and subsequent ableism, illness and subsequent poverty and classism, &c. Get vaccinated. Wear an n95 for viruses, smoke, &c. This is how to resist their agenda. Give/get mask mutual aid:

Meticulous scientists proved 'tuberculosis is airborne - one of the traits that made M. tuberculosis so successful as a pathogen. In poorly ventilated indoor spaces, it can drift in the air for hours, waiting for its next victim to take a breath.' @carlzimmer.com www.newscientist.com/article/2481...

COVID is an interdisciplinary problem, and a science problem. On the application side of things, a lot of what public health thinks of as "doing science" is cosplay. Leadership is completely out of their depth, pretending to be something they're not just to retain power. Hence the constant failure.

Why do some people choose NOT to wear a n95 or ffp2? One possible reason: scitechdaily.com/id-rather-no... /When given the choice, 40% of people will choose ignorance, often in order to have an excuse to act selfishly, according to research published by the American Psychological Association./

Two babies have died from whooping cough in Kentucky. Neither they nor their parents had been vaccinated. The current whooping cough outbreak in the U.S. hasn’t grabbed the media spotlight as much as measles has, but it’s important to update your vaccination if you’re going to be around babies.
