I saw how Elon was willing to push antivaxxers to attack Peter Hotez and realized how much worse it would get and nuked my account June 2023. I didnt realize how much Musk would exceed my expectations in making it a nazi bar. Bluesky may not have the reach, but its a lot closer to the Twitter I knew

Pro Tip: the key to today's USA location was the Rio Grande River, which forms the border between Texas and Mexico, and then goes north up into New Mexico and Colorado.😎

I support it, Prof Hotez I believe that many in America would support this vaccine. Vaccines save lives. They are a miracle of science and I applaud all who work on them The world owes everyone like you a debt that we can never repay.

Whatever happened to the new no-patent COVID vaccine touted as a global game changer?

The inventors of Corbevax said it was cheap, easy to make, effective and safe. They hoped it could bring vaccine equity to countries that can't access costlier shots. Has it lived up to its promise?
