We were amused at the thought of average teachers having to cater to corporate donors for education funding, where teachers are hired or fired based on how much funding they can fetch, over other teachers, instead of teaching skills. (which is exactly why professors are horrible teachers).

Is Hantavirus the next pandemic? No. Is there another pandemic coming? Yes. We are unlikely to see the next pandemic coming due to the political decimation of Global Public Health. US has created a new breed of pandemic risks, both for new pathogens to emerge and for known pathogens to re-emerge.

"A new variant, H3N2 subclade K, is driving a surge in cases" Back in the good old days of Public Health we used to refer to "new" influenza strains as "novel". Now we blame parents for dead kids when the vaccine formulation can't keep up with what's in circulation. #H3N2 #BirdFlu

Whitewashing history is apparently going to include how SARS-2019 was a "new virus". This SARS was NOT novel. Omikron was more genetically divergent from SARS-2019 than SARS-2019 was to SARS-2004. We failed to implement the lessons of 20 years ago.

Ukraine is actively protecting our troops and Russia is actively helping Iran target them. But every single time he's tested, Trump sides with Putin. It's the most consistent he is on any topic. No matter what they do, Trump is on Team-Russia. At this point it really doesn't matter why.

Boosters: the mRNA stimulate immune checkpoint inhibitors. We were against referring to them as vaccines and would have preferred they were referred to as boosters. These COVID19 mRNA boosters are only effective for 9-13 months if they are dosed properly (in accordance with the product monograph).
