It's all gone. They've taken down all the CDC datasets from data.cdc.gov
Data that's critical for public health & research. Data paid for by citizens. That the government now censors.
"Do not fear those who tell the truth. Fear those who try to hide it. They are willing to sacrifice other things."

Quite shocking: 'Leiden University Medical Centre was aware of fraud with EU grants for years but did not act' (in Dutch) www.ftm.nl/artikelen/lu...
Leids academisch ziekenhuis fraudeerde met subsidies en stopte dat jarenlang in de doofpot
Eind 2021 werd de vicevoorzitter van de raad van bestuur van het Leids Academisch Ziekenhuis (LUMC) Pancras Hogendoorn gewaarschuwd dat een ingehuurd bedrijf met Europese subsidies fraudeerde. Ook wis...

Have you wondered if some E. clones are so successful because of their plasmids? www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
A combination of bioinf and lab work showed that some plasmids have coexisted for centuries, and that a specific colicin gene is able to kill other clones paving their way for success!

***PAPER ALERT***
So excited to have this out
@error-prone.bsky.social joint production - www.nature.com/articles/s41...
We asked what happens if you take away a key host factor from influenza?
What cool virology can you uncover?
Polymerase Dimers! ANP32 in mice and chickens?!
