We’d be in a bad why if we did not research deadly pathogens in nature and that arise by transfer from animal to humans. We need to identify and study them to understand pathogenesis, developed drugs and vaccines. In the US there are well established biosafety protocols for this research.

Plague is caused by a bacterium not a virus.

Thank you. I will keep trying.

Glad you are all OK. I have had the rattle in the dark experience and would just as soon never hear or see a rattlesnake again. One of our dog as was bitten and I learned how expensive the anti-venom is.

talk about measles being a bellwether - how any increase in the incidence of measles, because it was so infectious, was a clear prediction that other vaccine preventable disease would appear. So here we are, measles is out of control as uptake of vaccines falls precipitously in some

I have always liked the word bellwether. It derives from the practice of shepherds hanging a bell around the neck of a wether (a castrated male sheep) to lead and track the flock. The word evolved to be anything that guides or predicts the way forward. When I taught virology, I would

When I was young my parents would take us to visit my mother’s family in rural Franklin County, Virginia. They lived on a farm and brought raw milk from the cows to the kitchen. At about 8 years old, a lover of pasteurized milk at home, I found the raw

Viruses entering the U.S. born by mosquito and other insect vectors is not being monitored. Warming of the country by climate change invites these vectors in. We already have west Nile everywhere and now Dengue. Soon Zika, Chikungunya and the return of yellow fever. And there are many more.

not do this the writers of Pluribus play off this disinformation and promote it thus promoting anti-science and scientific ignorance. No matter what redeeming qualities this show may have it has done a disservice to science and scientists around the world.

Eugenics is the discredited beliefs and practices that claim to improve the genetic quality of a specific group by eliminating the propagation of the “out-groups.” This has been accomplished in the past by forced sterilization, inhumane institutionalization,

“NIH is building the scientific infrastructure needed to develop, validate, and scale technologies that better reflect human biology,” said NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya….This essentially says our government is allowing research using humans. Where this will inevitably lead to is unethical.

Investigator-initiated research at NIH has been one of the greatest discovery engines ever. So many great discoveries so much understanding and so many advances in the health of the world. Yet MAGA ignorance is destroying it. So America wait in line for your Chinese cures and vaccines.
