This photo of Oz, RFK, Makary, Prasad and bhattacharya is dark.

The perfect merger of “respectable, evidence-based medicine” with rank equals and grifters, all for political power.

Anyone who enabled these men in any way owns this moment too.

With 77,000 people on AISH, the UCP stands to take 15,400,000 a month with money that is supposed to be helping lift disabled Albertans a little more out of poverty.

They’re taking $15 million a month away from some of Alberta’s most vulnerable.

It’s really sad that even when you tell people who don’t mask that there’s mountains of evidence proving repeat Covid infections damage your immune & vascular systems and cause brain damage—bc you think they must not know!—they still won’t wear a mask because it gets in the way of their bootlicking.

Five years later, the greatest basic science failure in generations caused the pandemic harms highlighted by people across the political spectrum, and broke our social cohesion.

A reminder that under no circumstances is Dr Henry an acceptable choice for Canada's Chief Medical Officer of Health.

One of the few people in the world to have botched two different SARS-CoV outbreaks, the fact that people like her constantly fail upwards is what gives extremists credibility.

🧵:
Anyone else noticing the surge of desperate efforts to retroactively manufacture ambiguity from those responsible for basic failures throughout the pandemic?

It's simple. Aerosol transmission was known to be a major and serous risk since day 1, requiring N95s etc.

Dr. Henry failed to convey that.
TFW you give a talk about rewriting history in which you, wait for it, rewrite some history.

Dr. Henry claims she's always been nuanced about value of masks and about how COVID is spread, but the record says otherwise.

CDC source:

“We just had word that all our fellows and post doc staff are laid off effective immediately. The famous Epidemic Intelligence Service, aka the Disease Detectives, is no more. That’s 1260 staff.

They are calling this ‘Phase 1’.”

T cells get hungry! Check out Shixin Ma's new paper showing nutrient switching controls T cell exhaustion. Nutrients metabolized in the nucleus by ACSS2 and ACLY direct histone acetylation at key loci via binding to specific HATs, indicating a metabolic code guides our histone code. @science.org

💯Clean air delivery rate (CADR) is more important than HEPA rating! I have been buying portable air cleaners for the lab and home that are not HEPA-level but offer a high CADR per dollar spent and low noise.

Marwa Zaatari's comparison chart from 2021 is a good way to think about this.

The last half of the 1990s was when the false image of ME/CFS as a
“yuppie“ disease began to crumble, thanks to good work done by Leonard Jason and others like this west coast group. I had been ill for over 13 years before the CDC finally acknowledged that Black people like me could have ME/CFS.
"most deprived" more likely to have #longcovid said the Guardian article from earlier this week.
