“It is based on mRNA technology…. researchers have shown for the first time that mRNA can be delivered into the cells where HIV is hiding, by encasing it in a tiny, specially formulated fat bubble. The mRNA then instructs the cells to reveal the virus.” Ah, to live where you can still do science.

I read this story and look at this picture and I think of the Dr. Seuss story “The Zax.” Here we see two guys doomed to this rapidly escalating face-off because neither is capable of taking the high road. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

“This is not the first time that Netanyahu has been involved in or accused of propping up burgeoning militias & terror groups… “Various reports over the years have indicated that Israel’s policy under Netanyahu was to treat Hamas as an asset that could be used to weaken the Palestinian Authority.”

I’m at one of those big NYC medical buildings again, & I must be in the irony department because the unmasked nurse at check-in just asked masked-up me if I have any Covid symptoms, & I had to repeat my answer because she couldn’t hear me over the unmasked woman behind me who can’t stop coughing.
