FWIW, I’m on record predicting stuff like this might happen. Why waste years painstakingly building scientists when you can just start pilfering the best and the brightest left high and dry by research funding cuts? #FAFO

That press conference was the most disgraceful act of betrayal I’ve ever seen.

“My fellow Americans, we are in completely uncharted waters, led by a president, who — well, I cannot believe he is a Russian agent, but he sure plays one on TV.​“ www.nytimes.com/2025/02/28/o...

I’ve seen a couple of zeros mistreat a true hero. Truly vile. But here is one American out of hundreds of millions who support you, Ukraine. We shall overcome.

Journal of Infection and Public Health just published a paper summarizing case fatality rate (CFR) and infection mortality rate (IFR) for all of Austria from February 2020 through May 2023. This thread will summarize and try to make sense of its key results. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
