Imagine European security now if Ukrainians didn't hold the line in the East. Europe would be on the brink of a full scale war. Maybe it's time Europeans started to appreciate the sacrifices Ukrainians have made and are making to keep Europe safe? The least we can do is to say "thank you".

It is understandable that you feel unwell, for you live in sickening times: the state of the world will nauseate you, the fear for the future will exhaust you, the spreading viruses will infect you, in these sickening times what would be worrisome is if you felt fine.

When you think about how original safety tests for cars didn't take into account women's sizes, or how PPE at beginning of covid-19 was designed for male bodies, you realise it's not just about good science. It's also the difference between life and death. Great piece by @ccriadoperez.bsky.social

By now you’ve probably heard CDC investigators say “Asymptomatic Cases of Bird Flu in Humans Are Flying Under the Radar,” but you need not worry about hearing more of this frightening news, for those investigators laboring at the CDC are all getting fired.

We saw all these factors play out in the ideological bent to science in Nazi Germany or Stalinist Russia. The stability of recent decades has left scientists unprepared for when their independence is revealed to be so fragile with few if any legal protections. 20/24

New study in Nature finds no such thing as natural immunity to covid after the arrival of omicron. Pre omicron, infection provided 80% protection against re-infection one year later. This falls to under 5% at one year with omicron

“People who had gotten COVID-19 at least twice experienced higher rates of short and long-term health effects, including heart & brain issues, compared to those only infected once.” Rather than “building immunity”, repeat Covid infections are slowly killing us. #LongCovid time.com/6553340/covi...

If we’re wrong about Covid - the worst that’s happened is we’ve worn a mask and cleaned the air. If others are wrong - they’ve potentially saddled themselves with lifelong chronic health issues. Infected & harmed someone else. They NEED to be right. We WANT to be wrong.
