I spoke to a talented junior scientist who just got a good faculty job offer in the US and they told me “well I wouldn’t move to 1930s Germany either” so that’s how that’s going

Someone who gets it! “The NIH communications pause feels like a part of a bigger shift and attack on sciences because there is a suspicion about our work or who is selected to do this when it is in fact very competitive and benefits society as a whole.”

This week Trump has cut off nearly all foreign aid for the next 30-90 days, gagged all of HHS, cut off research funding at the NIH. Why do Americans think he's not going to cut off their benefits? The only departments he cares about are Homeland Security, and DOJ.

If Trump had pulled out of WHO prior to 2020, we would not have had access to the genetic sequence of SARS-CoV-2. Instead of developing the world's first mRNA vaccines, we would have been behind the rest of the world.

I think if you are still complaining about Biden at this point you are missing the point that the Nazis are in charge right now and fully intend to go after scientists and academics.

Politicians - We need building codes for fire prevention. If your house burns, your neighbor's house will too. Waiting for them to figure this out about infectious disease.

SARS-CoV-2 is not a textbook virus. Antibodies are suppose to wane over time after an infection is fully cleared. Here, the group with #LongCovid continues to have an antibody response up to 1000 days laters, while in the control it wanes, suggesting viral persistence. 1/2

Prevention is undervalued. Listening to the news lament that we need to spend more money on public safety, when we have gutted public health. We only know we have a problem when it's burning down your house.

From 2018, Al-Aly's group. "The toll of diabetes attributable to PM2.5 pollution is substantial; long-term exposure to PM2.5 contributed to about 3.2 million cases of diabetes in 2016, representing 14% of total incident diabetes globally"😷

Marc Veldhoen on wild fires. If you burn it now, it won't burn tomorrow. Children should expose themselves to smoke to build resistence. No need to mask, the wind will blow away the smoke. It will rain eventually. 🙃

Something to think about. We are making the assumption that Covid reactivated latent viruses, but the possibility is there that EBV or HSV-1 was already reactivated, and changing the immune response to SARS-CoV-2 #LongCovid www.frontiersin.org/journals/vir...
