GOOD NEWS! A SINGLE infusion of a stem cell-based treatment, VX-880, may have CURED a small group of patients with the most SEVERE form of Type 1 Diabetes. 10 out of 12 patients have remained insulin-INDEPENDENT for OVER a year and the other two patients now need much LOWER doses of insulin. 🧪🧵⬇️

🤦♂️ It's 2025. At what point do people learn how to properly swab—and that timing matters? A single rapid antigen test (RAT) can’t rule out COVID. You need to test at the right time, more than once, and swab like you mean it, mouth & nose. Sorry, not sorry.
I have been sick for a week and I just read about "something going around" in a subreddit, which I guess is how I get my information now that the CDC is officially spending the next four years determining when and how microscopes became gay.
