If someone in the White House press corps doesn't ask Trump today why he's so scared of strong women, they should all go home.

What foods should you eat during flu season?

OMG!

Get your flu vaccine, wear a N95 in high risk situations and clean your air because food doesn’t protect you against a virus.

#🦠
What foods should you be eating this cold and flu season? Experts say beef, bell peppers, broccoli, oranges, pears and fermented foods might help boost your immune system. Learn why from Newsweek: https://ow.ly/fw7r50XCNyV #ISpyPhysiology 🧪

In intellectual terms, MAGA and the 2nd Trump Administration have inflicted a catastrophic craniotomy upon America.
Deeply upsetting but not surprising:

“policies defunding everything from scientific research to public health have damaged the U.S.'s reputation to the point where she hears from hospitals and universities that top international talent are no longer interested in coming to America” 🧪
'Nobody wants to come': What if the U.S. can no longer attract immigrant physicians?
Immigrants make up a significant proportion of all the country's doctors. New policies are making it harder and less appealing for foreign-born physicians to come to the U.S.

Paraphrase of a real online conversation:

person #1: "In early 2021, the COVID vaccine killed my mother!"
person #2: "How?"
p #1: "It gave her cancer"
p #2: "It was hard to get shots then. Was she in a high-priority group?"
p #1: "Yes"
p #2: "Which one?"
p #1: "Cancer patients."

Imagine being a trillionaire and yet such a loser that you have to program your social media platform's internal chatbot to give you a constant handjob. It's be sad if he weren't such a terrible person.

Terroristic threatening by the president.
Remarkable: Rep Chrissy Houlahan, one of the Dems that Trump called for executing, tells me her office literally filled out a Capitol Police threat report that listed "the president" as the person making the threat.

In a new phase 3 trial, people randomly assigned to receive a flu shot made with modified mRNA were 34.5% less likely to be diagnosed with an influenza-like illness than people given a standard flu shot made with inactivated virus.

We need to stop the anti-science attacks against mRNA vaccines!

I think there's a decent chance that the Pope visits Chicago during this presidency and while there asks to see Broadview and I wonder how that plays out.

HOLY SHIT. They found the genes for fibromyalgia - and it's *not* autoimmune, it's the central nervous system. It's very cool to see some progress made on the thing that's ruined my life since late teenage years!
Medical Republic: 'Fibromyalgia finally gets a genetic fingerprint'

'Additionally, certain risk loci overlapped with long covid (BPTF) and ME/CFS (OLFM4, RABGAP1L/GPR52), two poorly characterised disorders, albeit with different lead variants.'

Remember in the first Trump term, when we’d hear reporting about some utterly insane thing he proposed - like “let’s detonate a nuclear bomb into a hurricane” and we’d think “it’s ok because sane people will stop this”?
This time, Trump’s insane ideas proliferate. And no one is stopping him.
