To many, it is the next best thing to an HIV vaccine. The FDA approved a new way to prevent HIV infection: the antiretroviral drug lenacapavir, which provides almost complete protection for 6 months with a single injection in the abdomen. www.science.org/content/arti...

(🚨) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: TRUMP DECLARES L.A. RESIDENTS TO BE IN “REBELLION AGAINST THE AUTHORITY OF THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES” This declaration may well be a prelude to martial law. He’s illegally federalized the Guard in California and this looks very like the pretext he was waiting for.

We should be investing in rural communities and making them better places to build a life & raise a family - not shutting down rural hospitals by choking off their funding. Saving rural hospitals is one more reason to call your Representative and speak out against this GOP attempt to cut Medicaid.

Hundreds of rural hospitals are at risk of closing, threatening critical care

Hospital officials told CBS News the closure was driven by the same factors that have closed other rural hospitals: low reimbursement rates.

When RFK Jr says that “only really sick kids should die from measles” if unvaccinated, this is eugenics. Not only is that completely untrue since we had eradicated the virus thanks to the vaccine, but he’s saying that sick and high risk kids are expendable. This is eugenics, plain and simple.

the moment you use BPL, you aggregate Spike and trigger post fusion conformation, which is not what you want

Walther Mothes @wmothes.bsky.social · 02/05/2025

bad idea to make vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 and RSV with BPL. Post fusion is the wrong conformational state. Then you get non-neutralizing antibodies too that have more side effects, can enhance infection. Maybe flu is better

Walther Mothes @wmothes.bsky.social · 02/05/2025

Beta-propiolactone (BPL) inactivated virus is no "gold-standard" vaccine. BPL inactivated SARS-CoV-2 causes aggregation and its Spike protein is largely in the post fusion. This will not give you a good vaccine. It is scary how incompetent this is

In terminating hundreds of NIH grants, the Trump administration dumped years of investment down the drain. In my latest @opinion.bloomberg.com column, we analyzed the cancelled projects & talked to scientists to understand just how much the public loses out. It's a lot: tinyurl.com/bdey86su

A beeswarm chart of canceled NIH grants showing the years into each project when the funding was pulled. Each dot represents a terminated grant and is colored by the number of publications associated with the project: none, one to four or five or more. The grants are separated into thee rows based on the award type (R01, U01, U54). RO1 research projects had the most terminations, which occurred at all stages of research, from the project onset to 7+ years in. Most grants were canceled short of the 4-5 year lifespan of a typical grant, and 40% of R01s had no publications at the time of termination. Projects that had been active for longer had more publications, suggesting that more findings are disseminated in the later stages of these grants.

Given the low average vaccination rates in a number of states, and the existence of numerous pockets of very low rates, it's pretty much a given that this outbreak get quite a bit bigger.

They're the same picture.

A side-by-side comparison of two images. On the left, a historical black and white photograph shows emaciated concentration camp prisoners wearing striped uniforms, confined in wooden bunk beds, looking out from their cramped spaces. On the right, a modern color photograph shows a woman wearing a white shirt and a dark cap with an emblem, standing in front of a prison cell filled with tattooed, shirtless inmates wearing white pants and face masks. The prisoners behind the bars are tightly packed, looking towards the camera. The two images are juxtaposed, possibly to draw a visual or thematic comparison.

I've seen this before.

A black and white photograph of emaciated concentration camp prisoners wearing striped uniforms inside a wooden barracks. They are looking out from wooden bunks stacked in multiple levels. Some prisoners lean on the edges, while others sit or lie down. The scene is dimly lit, emphasizing the gaunt faces of the prisoners. The image captures a moment from the liberation of a Nazi concentration camp during World War II.
