Vaccines don’t cause autism. But vaccines can help prevent it. This study found an increase in autism rates among babies born with rubella, who were infected by their moms during pregnancy. Vaccinating against rubella with the MMR vaccine (measles, mumps, rubella) prevents infection.

Just a reminder that people don’t always realize they were raped in the immediate aftermath. It can take hours, days, months, and even years to realize you were raped, and it doesn’t make it any less true. There are many kinds of responses, including fawning and trying to appease your rapist

I keep seeing this Semafor graph that seems to show the Trump administration’s effect on international visits is comparable to the pandemic. My first thought was “that can’t be true” and indeed it is not. This is monthly data. We only have to Jun/Aug 2026. The lines are over-fitted to the months.

House prices falling by a percentage not seen in 40 years does not mean house prices have fallen to affordable levels - it is just that we have seen them increase so much year on year, that falls seem significant BUT IT DOESN'T MAKE HOUSING AFFORDABLE IT JUST MEANS THE HOUSING MARKET HAS BEEN BROKEN

🧵 For anyone wondering whether IPC and public health leaders are competent to manage Ebola, the answer is a categorical "no". Current WHO guidance, released May 17, 2026, is still based on the 5-micron error (p51 & 58), out of date since 1934. The quacks responsible should be in jail.
Justification
Protection of the mucous membranes of the eyes, nose and mouth is an integral part of standard and
droplet precautions (19, 122, 123). Droplet precautions consist of IPC measures that aim to prevent
infection with pathogens that can be transmitted by large-particle droplets (larger than 5 μm).
Contamination of mucous membranes is probably the most important mode for filovirus transmission.
Hence, PPE to protect mucosae is essential to prevent transmission. Because of the lack of effective
viral-specific treatments and the high case-fatality rate, the GDG felt that a strong recommendation was
warranted.

Source: https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/9789240111332Justification
An aerosol-generating procedure is a medical procedure that can induce the production of aerosols of
various sizes, including small (< 5 µm) particles. While surgical masks provide barrier protection against
droplets, sprays and splashes of body fluids, they do not protect from exposure to airborne particles.
Particulate respirators provide protection from exposure to particles, including small-particle aerosols
and droplets, provided that the respirator is fit-tested and a seal check is done when the respirator is
put on. While filovirus-specific evidence is lacking, there is a lot of evidence regarding other pathogens
(e.g. Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever, SARS) indicating the need for a particulate respirator to be
used during aerosol-generating procedures (124, 125).
