Epstein-Barr virus has now been linked with lupus and multiple sclerosis. It's frequently reactivated in ME and long covid. An extremely common virus that people assumed was "normal" has been causing untold misery.

Famously, Caligula is reported as having considered appointing his horse, Incitatus, to the office of Consul of Rome. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Not to be outdone, the US electorate have twice appointed a horse’s ass, to the office of President of America. 🤪

🔸️Early data suggests we could be in for a worse than normal flu season, brought on by a cluster of escape mutations in H3N2 this year that may lift the Re from 1.2 to 1.4. We are starting to see an uptick in the US. Data from BIOFIRE.

Ah, yes, the <checks notes> “Brexit dividend” just keeps on giving…and by giving, I mean taking. 🙄🤬
I wonder if the United States can learn anything from the last time a major industrialized country decided to isolate itself from the rest of the world?

Almost a decade after the Brexit vote, GDP in the UK is around 6-8% lower relative to peer countries. (Source: www.nber.org/papers/w34459)

Ah, Captain Archibald Maule Ramsay MP, BBC critic and (checks notes) a pro-Nazi who the wartime Churchill coalition interned.
February 1937 Tory campaign against BBC "bias". To be fair, if Captain Maule Ramsay was leading the charge, "left-wing" probably covered everything up to and including Mussolini...

I think, as an American who studied the speech to assess whether it constituted unlawful incitement, the BBC edit was poor journalistic form, but it did not convey something substantively different than reality. My thing? The apology doesn’t convey to me that the BBC gets Trump isn’t a fair broker.
The reaction to the Panorama edit has been nothing short of hysterical. Yes the BBC has some impartiality problems. But its biggest isn't the one you think.

New piece from me.

Large science & public health accounts are sounding alarms over Canada losing measles-elimination status - good.

But the silence from them on long COVID has been striking.
