Anche @robivil.bsky.social parla del caso #Coldiretti - carne coltivata: "In pratica, i manifestanti chiedono all’Europa più passaggi burocratici per l’autorizzazione dei #NovelFood proprio mentre si lamentano dei troppi vincoli imposti dalle direttive europee all’agricoltura." 🚜

#56 CARNE coltivata, coerenza cercasi
L'ennesima iniziativa antiscientifica di Coldiretti alimenta preoccupazioni per prodotti che ancora non ci sono, mentre si negano i rischi certi di quelli che ci sono

Five years ago, we had the first confirmed autoctone case of covid-19 in Italy. On Fosforo e miele, I put down some memories, thoughts and facts about that time, the origin of the virus, the management of the emergency in Italy and somewhere else. You can find it here robertavilla.substack.com

Since December 19th, Italian journalist #CeciliaSala is detained by the Iranian regime with no clear accusation. Set her free, now!

Unpopular opinion. Italian government forgives fines to people who refused to vaccinate against covid in 2022. In the beginning, immunization was compulsory for healthcare professionals, teachers, and other workers of public interest, then the mandate was extended to all citizens over 50s. 1)

Last Sunday, Fiorentina soccer player Edoardo Bove had a sudden cardiac arrest on the pitch. Immediately, X was flooded with conspiracy theories blaming anticovid vaccines. He recovered, investigation is still under way, but the record of a 2020 post covid myocarditis tells another possible story

AVIARIA H5N1: siamo pronti?
Sperando che il timore degli esperti non si concretizzi, e il virus non impari a diffondersi tra le persone, come stiamo a preparedness? E a vaccini?

Tra le scelte di #Trump e la minaccia dell'influenza #aviaria, non arrivano buone notizie per la salute pubblica dal Nord America. Ma il mondo si sta preparando alla prossima #pandemia, pur con qualche difficoltà. 😷 Per un aggiornamento, consiglio questo ottimo articolo di @robivil.bsky.social.

In Italy, while healthcare workers protest to save the Italian National Health Service, our Parliament approves a new law to introduce "mototherapy" in children's hospitals. No public funding, yet, but we'll see. You never heard of it in literature, because it's just one guy's "amusing" idea.

Thank you, @quammen.bsky.social! "Hope is a duty, not a mood" is a perfect motto to face these hard times, both in Europe and in America, in war zones and in those more affected by climate crisis, emerging diseases and poverty

Two years ago, presenting "Breathless" with @quammen.bsky.social in Turin, when we thought we were out of the woods. Now, breath-holding again for concern about #H5N1 in North America. Am I wrong? Everything's gonna be alright, despite the incoming Administration? Hope so

Somehow missing the evil algorithm 🙄 I'm a 60 year-old straight mother of 6, interested in ID, public health, emerging viruses and pandemic preparedness. Why should I see mainly gay explicit content in the "discover" section? Never happened on X or other platforms
