I appreciate this response from Ed Yong on why he requests that people mask at his events. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/m...

I have a whole repertoire of masks, but I reach for my FloMask most: it’s comfortable, very effective, breathable, and I can be heard well speaking through it. Highly recommended, especially at a reduced price!

☎️ Massachusetts folks! There are state bills in your House & Senate to *protect* medical mask wearing by prohibiting municipal mask bans. Please call your *state* senator & rep to support & co-sponsor HD2968 (house) & SD 245 (senate) bills on the right to wear PPE. (Docket #s may change.)

How many federal workers would DOGE need to fire to make up for Musk not paying his fair share of taxes? Answer: 677,000. That's 44% of the entire non-DoD federal workforce. Again, this power grab is not about the budget. It’s about politics.

Really upsetting stunning article where Avi Nath goes on the record with the names of people at Merck and Bristol Myers Squibb who denied him drugs to test his immune checkpoint inhibitor theory of Long Covid. Post-viral illness still has a serious image problem. cen.acs.org/pharmaceutic...

I don’t know who thought that RFK Jr./this administration might be good for the #LongCovid community, that they might actually back up their eugenic statements about improving America’s health and reducing chronic illness with research into our condition. They don’t care. They won’t help.

Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers wants his state to become the first state to audit insurance companies over denying coverage. More of this, Democrats.

Oof, this is my fastest migraine onset in months. Nurtec plz kick in soon? I’ve been feeling surprisingly great the past few days as I’m ramping up dose on #theNicotineTest. I know it’s not an instant silver bullet (if it helps long-term). But it’s more disappointing than usual to feel like shit.

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.
