Texas Pediatricians Face Paxton Investigations for Vaccinating Children (Gift Article)
Ken Paxton, the Texas attorney general and Republican Senate candidate, has alleged a sprawling profit-driven conspiracy. Pediatricians say the accusations are an attempt at intimidation.

This was both incredibly interesting and hysterically funny. When the farmer wouldn’t look up 😅

The fact that a substantial fraction of Texans have already voted for Paxton is so disturbing. We’ve had good options before and failed to overcome the ingrained pro- republican bias.

It’s the Rodeo’s fault. Bad driving always goes up 10-fold during these three weeks. So many people Lost in the Big City.

Have you considered using a fire snake? Also would make a good band name.
Meet the fire snake. Metro reveals secret weapon for melting ice, snow. The "fire snake" has apparently proved successful for WMATA in its effort to return Metrorail cars to full service.

Also, once one thing goes other things get inspired to throw in the towel as well. Everything is connected 😳

The U.S. government is now inarguably spreading medical disinformation that is going to kill babies preferentially. Period. This is an INTOLERABLE. UNPRECEDENTED. DANGEROUS. ATTACK. ON ALL OF US.

KEY POINTS
• The claim "vaccines do not cause autism" is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism.
• Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities.
• HHS has launched a comprehensive assessment of the causes of autism,
including investigations on plausible biologic mechanisms and potential causal links.

Yes, things still seem to be trickling out so... who knows? I do feel bad for the POs - they must be getting it from all sides. I imagine every day is some new hell.

I've got one sitting at ~4% and heard this from the PO last week: "The NEI Grant Management is working hard to get the January Council round awards out of the door, and I’m hopeful this will happen within the next a few days." Do I believe them? Already had to lay someone off.

On the bright side, you had a fun evening working your way through a challenging recipe. It was a distraction from the bad place. You’ll use the feedback and try it again and work your way closer to a dish that makes everyone happy 😊.

They fucking did it. They mushed to Nome.
A man in a white parka sits next to a gray and white husky with a white strike down her forehead. She nibbles something tasty off the ground while he looks over his shoulder. Above them is the burled arch that marks the Iditarod's finish line in Nome. They did it.

My current grant runs out in May and the original timeline was my only hope for staying in my non- tenured position 🙄. Fortunately I’ve been around long enough to retire, but that’s not the outcome I wanted.

As someone who has a scored grant that was scheduled for council last Friday (which didn’t happen), I’m pretty sure I’m screwed. Hope I’m wrong 🤷🏻‍♀️

Adding in these links makes me feel like I'm doing something at least a little bit helpful but you are absolutely right, there is a lot of useful information there beyond the paper. At least access to the source material at the DOI would be better than nothing, if necessary.

Lori Sullivan @sadlersull.bsky.social · 17/02/2025
Thanks for this link. I run a website that links out to PubMed references and I'm going to start linking directly to the DOIs instead, in case PubMed goes away or is censored. Better safe than sorry.

The protein database is still available though links to the nucleotide sequences lead to that error message. Nothing else obvious at NCBI is completely down.

From a journalist friend: Just spreading the word. The CDC is purging data, so people should archive their favorite CDC datasets today, namely ones around race/ethnic diversity, LGBTQ, and reproductive health. Also health data involving climate. The youth risk behavior survey has already gone down.

Why should the public care about the freeze on the NIH? Aside from the need for scientific pursuits to make our society better… -For every dollar we invest in NIH research, there is a $2.5 return. -Research dollars help fund universities that employ non-academics. (1/)
