Friends- it is 2025. Can we stop with the term "vaccine skeptic" to describe people openly hostile to vaccines and whose views are not based in evidence? That is not skepticism. That is denialism.

The confirmed* #measles count in the US so far in 2025 (*undoubtedly an underestimate) stands at 1197 as of 6/12, per #CDC. Another 78 cases would surpass the 2019 count, which is currently the highest yearly total since measles elimination in the US in 2000 — & we're not yet 6 months into the year.

There might be some confusion between ‘the pandemic is over’ & ‘covid is over’. The state of political & system-level emergency associated with pandemic spread of a new virus is over but covid is still here. So we must deal with it in our non-emergency systems rather than pretend we’re back in 2019!

You sent them to school unprotected. You insisted on in-person education without mitigations. You did not fight for ventilation or filtration. You believed kids were magically immune to damage. Now, this. And it's going to get worse if we don't fix this... www.cbsnews.com/video/millio...

Psst. Can I interest you in a cheetah vocalizing? Surprising, isn't it? This is called a "chirp". It's used in a variety of settings: greetings, courtship, excitement, signaling a kill to others. There's a louder version for a mother summoning cubs or vice versa called a 'yelp'.

Nothing illustrates the all-encompassing social and institutional denial of Covid-19 more keenly than the absolute refusal of many governments to accept that the disease and its many sequelae are a significant causative factor in increased school absenteeism. Wilful blindness.

Brought a new air quality monitor to class today. The photo was taken at the beginning of class, before my air cleaners were running. By the end of the 2h class: PM2.5: ~9.0 µg/m3 PM10: ~16 µg/m3 I don’t think this is terribly surprising given the old building. CO2 is still great though!

Purely anecdotal but I’m having trouble finding great up-to-date tracking so figured I’d share that over the past 2 weeks I’ve seen a significant uptick in people presenting with COVID and complications like organ damage (mostly kidney injury and hepatitis but pneumonia; too) needing hospitalization

In exasperation the academic declared that no one is willing to admit the danger is real until it comes for them, so I asked her if she was referring to the climate crisis or the ongoing pandemic, to the rise of fascism or some other danger, and the academic replied: yes.

Some serious shade from @slate.com today re Bluesky - but here’s the thing. This platform doesn’t have an algorithm that tracks you to offer up commercialized slop. YOU have to do the legwork to find & follow interesting people and subscribe to feeds on topics you want to hear about.

Certains seront surpris. Pourtant ça commencé avec la déclaration de Great Barrington et la promotion de "vivre avec" sans prévention. Une stratégie qui annonçait la mort de la santé publique, menaçait déjà les vaccins et la recherche biomédicale. C'était déjà une dérive eugéniste et un fascisme.

Feeling a lot like I did in early days of the pandemic these days. It is so clear what’s coming: The people that will die because of cuts in global health, because of cuts to research, because of the concerted anti-vaccine push. It’s clear what’s coming, but we will have to wait to count the dead.🧪
