🦠🥼The recent spate of stupidity rehashing lab leak conspiracy theories & the pathetic statements by Redfield and the usual suspects is countered by actual data, evidence & research by scientists who actually research #pandemic #zoonotic diseases.

They have killed the Epidemic Intelligence Service AKA “the disease detectives.” These are the experts on the frontlines protecting us from new and old infectious disease threats. Gone. In tbe stroke of a pen.

Should be one of those 15 mins meeting - “yup, tons and tons of data, safe and effective. Anything else? Nope, okay, adjourned”.

No sweat.

It matters that scientists speak out against what is being done to US science.

Staying silent is neither "objective" nor "staying out of politics".

Silence now *is* political - it supports the status quo, says "nothing to worry about".

We need to sound the alarm.

Smart surveillance really coming into its own. Air, water, and surface sampling in bird markets w NGS can outperform traditional swab based approaches in detecting in a diversity of viruses, including avian influenza. Amazing work by @E_A_Karlsson + team

Not lost on me that it's nonprofit tech, app.watchduty.org, showing up & actually working in the midst of the LA fires (donate to them!)

Meanwhile platforms fail to surface key news, vital info is paywalled...

As I've been saying, we need a new tech paradigm, yesterday!

Ok, about as good as #NewYearsResolutions will be this year…

Penn Holderness is great. He has #ADHD and discusses it a lot. Quit his job as a news anchor to do parody songs. This one’s pre-COVID, but #COVID19 made them famous…🔉🔉
