Pancakes, varenyky (pierogies), democracy, and trustworthy information make my tail wag.

I growl at disinformation, especially about Ukraine and health.

While today we remember the sacrifices of the past, let’s not forget those fighting for freedom and justice today. Help Ukraine defends its people and its democracy.

Moderna is working on an mRNA vaccine to prevent EBV.

But since RFK Jr. is an anti-vaxxer who has decided on mRNA vaccines as a focus of his rampant disinformation efforts, it is likely that Americans won’t be able to access this vaccine for a very long time, even if effective.

A new study provides evidence of a biological mechanism for how Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) may trigger lupus.

EBV seems to reprogram B-cells at the beginning of a cascade that ultimately results in autoimmunity.

The authors mention that EBV is a cause of MS, and may be related to LongCOVID.
Epstein-Barr virus reprograms autoreactive B cells as antigen-presenting cells in systemic lupus erythematosus
Epstein-Barr virus reprograms autoreactive B cells as antigen-presenting cells to promote pathogenic antinuclear T and B cell responses in lupus.

The Kyiv Independent celebrated its 4-year anniversary on Nov. 11.

It was born out of a fight for freedom of speech by journalists who were fired from another Ukrainian publication for defending editorial independence.

And not forgetting the protesters on the streets.

Today is the 350th day of marching against the Moscow-influenced regime in Georgia.

In Tbilisi they're back on iconic Prospekt Rostaveli.

One thing the federal government could do is stop including acupuncture, naturopathy, and chiropractic in its health insurance for public servants. We are essentially supporting and subsidizing the most antivaxx pseudo-medical practitioners with our tax dollars.

New Epstein emails are out. This isn’t politics—it’s a moral test. You either stand against predators, or you defend them because they hate who you hate. There’s no middle ground left.
