One unexplained death in Russia, with possible concerns about #plague, is dominating headlines. Meanwhile, #Ebola continues to worsen in DRC with 8,300 cases. 4,018 deaths since May Yet much of the world and the media seems to have moved on. What’s wrong with this picture?

Seeing many posts about #plague, so a reminder: Plague is serious -- an incident involving a high-containment lab warrants investigation. Right now, we have an unexplained death from pneumonia, NOT confirmed plague or evidence of an outbreak. Watch closely. Avoid speculation. Follow the evidence.

Kein Zweifel, dass COVID das Risiko für Folgeerkrankungen erhöht, und zwar umso stärker, je häufiger die Infektionen waren. Allerdings zeigen große Seroprävalenz Studien, dass etwa 98% der Bevölkerung schon einmal eine Infektion hatten, nur 2 % noch nie. Somit hinterfrage ich die Methodik hier.

Das ist keine gute Lösung. In der Vergangenheit wurde mehrfach versucht, mir den alten Impfstoff zu verabreichen (aufbrauchen der Vorräte). Der ganze Sinn der Booster bestehst aber in der Anpassung an die neuen Varianten. Man verwendet ja auch nicht den Grippeimpfstoff vom letzten Jahr.

As I'm sure you know by this point, Covid-19 continues to concern me (which is why I take serious measures to avoid infection, including masking in all public indoor spaces). However, no virus concerns me more than H5N1. We are giving this beast too much room. theconversation.com/first-bird-f...

First bird flu death in an Australian mainland mammal is a grim milestone. We know how bad this can get

⚒️ Bronze Age high-tech! Nearly 4,000 years ago, this ingenious stone mould could cast five different sizes of flat axe! Cutting-edge technology from a time when metal was replacing stone, bone and wooden tools! Found in Shropshire in 1961. Shrewsbury Museum 📷 by me #FindsFriday #Archaeology

My photo shows a carved stone axe mould made from Carboniferous Grit displayed on a clear acrylic museum stand. It is roughly a cuboid rectangular, weathered stone block with a recessed axe-shaped cavity on the top face and two axe-shaped cavities on the front face (one small, one large). In total there are moulds for five metal flat axes though not all can be seen in my photo. It was found at Walleybourne Brook, Pontesbury/Church Purverbatch, Shropshire, in 1961. Dated to the Bronze Age, 1900-1700 BC.

That makes me very glad for you! And I respect you highly as a scientist. But then why are you so cynical about RCTs in general, just because one moron published a manipulated trial about clean air? Disclaimer: I strongly support masks and clean air, and highly value other types of studies.

Done RCTs professionally for more than 30 years. They certainly are not the answer to every question, but in an era when e.g peptides are being approved without any reliable data I am weary of those who downplay their value, just because - like any other tool- they can be manipulated by bad actors.
