They promised hospitals and aged care would be ready to deal with COVID-19. The reality is they are underfunded and can’t deal with it… or much else for that matter. #auspol

Today we report that an engineered skin bacterium, swabbed gently on the head of a mouse, can unleash a potent antibody response against a pathogen. Could lead to topical vaccines that are applied in a cream. @djenetbousbaine.bsky.social led the charge... @natureportfolio.bsky.social 1/55

RFK Jr. is actively spreading misinformation about vaccines, and Vaccine SCIENTIST, Dr. Peter Hotez is still fighting his propaganda! Thank you, Dr. Hotez!

Zelenskyy has rejected the US’ asinine proposal for Ukraine to lower the draft age to 18 years old. "The goal should be to preserve as many lives as possible, not to preserve weapons in storages.”

Imagine an alternative world where we’d put in place mitigations against airborne infections in public places (HEPA filters and better ventilation), widened flu & covid vaccination programmes, had sufficient hospital beds and staff to optimise in-hospital and community alternatives?

Wow. This post from @thelondoneconomic.bsky.social has been shared 11,300 times & has 60,400 likes on @bsky.app. On X it has just 8 shares & 13 likes (despite a much larger following). Don’t tell me Musk isn’t throttling accounts. Thankfully the forecast going forward is BlueSky’s.

Violet Affleck showing us all how it’s done. Wearing an N95 while assisting at a mission food service. She has repeatedly pointed out that the least fortunate in society are the MOST at risk for COVID - and understands the importance of breaking chains of transmission.

Dr. Bonnie Henry just said that we catch H5N1 by rubbing it into our eyes or from inhaling the virus, but then said the only thing we need to do to prevent catching it and other viruses is to wash our hands. 🤦‍♂️ She never mentioned wearing N95s and the like. #H5N1 #MASKS

Apparently, epidemiology looks simple to economists. When they try to do it, however, they prove one thing definitively. It's not. #episky #epidemiology open.substack.com/pub/drbobmor...

What this means is that the bird flu virus (H5N1} haspotentially found a mutation that brings it closer to infecting humans more easily.

If you like second guessing every single decision you make, and having others with very little experience question them as well, parenthood may be right for you.

Just a gentle reminder that fear of movement doesn’t correlate with cardiopulmonary exercise test results in people with ME/CFS. The cause of exercise/physical activity intolerance in living with PEM/PENE isn’t that they are afraid to move. A 20-year-old study. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15283620/

The preliminary sequence from the H5N1 human case in British Columbia has been posted and it is not good news. The virus potentially has a quasispecies at HA residue 226 (H3 numbering). This is bad news because we know that mutations at residue 226 can increase binding to human receptors. 1/

Stephen King, master of the horror novel, just quit Twitter because it'd become too "dark." That's how horrifying Twitter is right now. There may never be a more perfect expression of this fact.

one of the reasons bluesky works differently is because early users waged a successful fight to get the devs to prioritize safety features to protect communities at risk as a result bluesky now has a suite of controls that i think are unmatched on social media here’s the list, lmk what i’ve missed

This is outrageous. First Avian flu case in Canada, the teen affected went to the ICU. But they aren't using airborne precautions. So this could spread to any number of health care workers on that unit, and further beyond. We have learned absolutely nothing.
