Trump always attacks the reporter when cornered. And why on earth would anyone smile when discussing Epstein? Notice how Trump, the misogynist, never asks that of men?

The world’s first vaccine targeting the entire SARS coronavirus family has commenced human testing.

GBP511, developed by UW Medicine and tested by SK Bioscience, seeks to provide protection against COVID-19 and future coronaviruses, potentially preventing the onset of the next pandemic.

BA.3.2 is behaving differently than any of the other variants we've seen.

I've been wondering for some time if this is our first example of co-circulation, where only part of the population is susceptable to infection. It is starting to look stabilized in Germany, does not look like a sweep.

Trump leaves Davos more broken, more mocked and with zero dignity.
America sinks to a new low and the Board of Peace is a complete farce.
Any fear or respect for him has long departed.
America’s reputation is destroyed, there is zero trust, and zero future for them.

COVID levels remain steady and well below last winter’s levels. Flu is down considerably but a second wave cannot be ruled out and of course we will see Influenza B as the season progresses.
RSV still is rising.

COVID is one of the most insidious viruses we have ever experienced.
COVID is the most ignored and lied about serious virus.
COVID sequelae, will and is, decimating the world’s population.
This is already past the point of no return.
Governments are well aware of this.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that 7.5 million Americans have been infected and 81,000 have landed in the hospital this flu season, the health agency said on Thursday.

Five children died in the U.S. in the week ending Dec. 20.

Somebody filed a complaint because they don’t like the reminders that I say… like… don’t stick fingers into a fireplace, even if you think it’s cold.

So I asked… do you also get annoyed when the car beeps to remind you that you’ve left something on?

“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.”

In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.

Amazing that this review paper from 2021 just became my most cited paper of my 30+ yr career. I am honored to have been the lead first co-corresponding author with @ChiaWang8. COVID is indeed airborne--as are most other respiratory viruses. @ucsandiego.bsky.social

I've been asked by 3 media outlets in the last week to do interviews on the influenza season.

I still haven't seen our new CMOH, appointed Dec 18th, (or old one, for that matter. Or any public health official) in the media on this topic.

For the record, they are acutally paid, to do this.

In Bangalore, 18 adults previously vaccinated for COVID-19 received their first flu shot.

The vaccine expanded flu-specific CD4 T-cells and Tregs, with Tregs potentially dampening immune responses. SARS-CoV-2 immunity boosted the effect.

BA.3.2 emerged in Nov 2024 after ~3 years of intrahost evolution with >50 new spike AA muts, but since then, it's changed very little.

Could the mutagenic drug molnupiravir (MOV) galvanize BA.3.2 into pursuing new evolutionary paths? A new 89-mut BA.3.2 sequence hints that it could. 1/11

We are seeing huge amounts of illness that is off the chart. Flu, COVID and RSV.
WEAR A FUCKING MASK IN PUBLIC.

Subclade K is a beast. We have not seen anything like it in years.
We can speculate that immune dysfunction from repeat COVID infections has led to this variant however that is too early to say; but it is the perfect time to say wear a N95 or better mask in public and get jabbed.

Ding dong has always been a menace.
this is really reckless, unethical, and irresponsible behavior, especially as we approach the peak of flu season. it’s also not the first time he’s done this — he’s fully aware what he’s doing is not okay because we have already explained that to him. this guy shouldn’t be repping public health
If there is a tamiflu shortage this year I blame twitter's #1 catastrophist EFD for advising people to stockpile prescription antivirals.

I’m just waiting on the potatoes to boil. Here’s a recipe from my grandmother’s Tourtière. I am currently cheating with some Jimmy Dean breakfast pork for a bit of flavour and store bought pastry this year, but I’m the only one eating this. I think she means poultry seasoning. All spice=clove
