Open Medicine Foundation: 'Comprehensive transcriptome assessment in PBMC of post-COVID patients at two years after a mild COVID infection reveals upregulation of JAK/STAT signaling and chronic inflammation' www.omf.ngo/post-covid-j...

omg, thanks to my TV-free 1980s, i had never seen this video until just now. it's amazing!!

It should be a NATIONAL FUCKING SCANDAL that any university department or program in the United States is staffed entirely by non-tenure eligible faculty.

Little known fact! Right wing propaganda fake news outlet OAN was originally the idea of AT&T executives, who bankrolled the network's foundation:

Johnathan Joss died a hero. He was murdered for being gay, he went out protecting his trans husband from being executed. They burned down their home and killed their pets and then they murdered Joss while trying to murder his husband. The New York times can barely muster "fatally shot." I hate this.

if you represent or work for a hospital who gets investigated by the FBI, i want to talk to you. my signal is in my bio.

You didn’t really think Elon Musk and DOGE were rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse by deploying a team of hackers into our government agencies— instead of expert analysts, did you?

Half of all nursing home residents in Sen. Joni Ernst’s home state are covered by Medicaid. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Thailand: "The total number of COVID cases so far this year has reached 257,280, with 52 reported fatalities." New COVID-19 variant NB.1.8.1 drives cases, hitting working-age adults, students, children, and the elderly hardest. Source: archive.md/O7BhD

“Medicaid matters to you,” writes the editorial board, “even if you will never be on it.”

some people have been saying!

NEW: Trump says Elon Musk is 'really not leaving,' and federal workers from six agencies tell WIRED that DOGE work is escalating in their departments as both new and familiar DOGE faces have appeared in meetings and at new offices. read @makenakelly.bsky.social, @zoeschiffer.bsky.social, and me:

I'm saying this a lot these days... no words.

"Since 1974, vaccination has averted 154 million deaths, including 146 million among children younger than 5 years... For every death averted, 66 years of full health were gained on average, translating to 10·2 billion years of full health gained." #vaccines www.thelancet.com/journals/lan....

Someone at the CDC is living the most important slogan of the moment ("fuck you, make me")

When constituents brought up that cutting Medicaid and SNAP will lead to people dying, MAGA Senator Joni Ernst replied with a smile: “well we all are going to die.” This is what autogenocide looks like. They are purging the elderly, disabled, and ill. #3E

Leftists who shit on online activism are often leftists who refuse to mask to make offline activism accessible. Maskless leftism does work of fascists & eugenicists, who’d love leftists to gather to hotbox a pandemic, limit their own community with illness, then abandon each other due to ableism.

NOW— Mass ICE arrests happened/are happening at the Manhattan immigration court at 290 Broadway on the 20th floor. I was just outside the building and an observer came out crying, confirmed they witnessed people getting detained outside courtrooms while families watched and wept.

🧵 ICE AIR FLIGHTS—30 MAY 25 ✈️ One notable early Omni Air flight underway out of Harlingen via El Paso and Puerto Rico (now) to Venezuela (thanks: @tomcartwright.bsky.social) 👀 Follow this thread for ICE Air updates ⤵️

Covid is not over. The latest variant, dubbed “razor blade throat” has caused hospitalized patients in Asia to double. It’s time to mask up. Mask week is a great way to show solidarity with disabled & vulnerable people. To tell governments that no one is expendable. It’s a form of resistance.

As of today, Elon Musk is thought to be responsible for the death of 300,000 adults and kids due to the illegal closure of USAID (source: www.impactcounter.com/dashboard?vi...) That's a 103 deaths per hour, each day. And it will get worse. His legacy is one of death, destruction, and failure.

Mask up NOW “A new COVID variant, known as NB.1.8.1, has made landfall in the United States, and it's more transmissible than other variants.” www.huffpost.com/entry/the-mo...

Called it. Casey Means didn’t drop out of residency because she was “disillusioned with the medical establishment.” She had already taken a prolonged leave of absence & was having serious performance issues. There’s no way she was on track to graduate after already missing 3 months. It’s all a grift

🦋 CDC are monitoring H5 bird flu in the US but what happens if it spreads further or mutates again? The cancellation of the Moderna vaccine is a potentially devastating move from the anti-vax anti-science government Bird flu has already moved to mammals in the US leading to a death in Louisiana 🦋

And other countries are still closing schools @wendyorent.bsky.social

Of course.

22 years ago I pivoted from working on antibiotic resistance to pandemic viruses. Since then, I've argued that if we care about saving US lives in expectation, advance capacity for producing bird flu vaccine offers by far the greatest expected return on investment. ... We were so goddamn close.

Given HHS has decided to stop recommending SARS-CoV-2 vaccinations in children but continue recommending Influenza vaccinations... ...I submit: Total deaths due to three infectious pathogens in children, 2020-present: COVID: 2,046 Influenza: 875 RSV: 190

chalk up another point for the “they hate us and want us to die” theory
