We need art in our lives during times of war as much as peace. Artists can help us reflect on beauty AND ugliness. My favorite example of this dichotomy is British illustrator Raymond Briggs. He created an immortal Christmas classic and a warning about the horrors of nuclear war. Both are important

Have you heard the one about the fly that walked into a flower?
When a pollen-bearing fly enters the flower of an Aristilochia (like this A. samarensis), the journey is 1-way: Downward-pointing hairs prevent escape. The flower is in the female phase, so the stigma picks up the pollen from the fly.

Society needs diagnostics to prove (without a doubt) that vascular damage is being caused by COVID infection (not the vaccines).
This will help stabilize societal understanding re: vaccine benefit vs risk.
