RFK Jr. celebrated on Sunday by taking shirtless selfies and swimming in an E. coli-ridden, sewage-infested creek where swimming, notably, has been banned by the National Park Service, thanks to the whole...poop water issue.

Vaccines don’t prevent infection. Vaccines are meant to produce immunological memory and antibody production, so that when you get infected, your immune system can rapidly respond to eliminate the pathogen and prevent serious complications, including death.

I can't believe that the endgame of a highly contagious airborne pathogen that led to millions of deaths is a bipartisan effort to ban masks.

Are we at the point where folks are still terrified of mRNA (messenger ribonucleic acid)? It remains the most effective and rapid vaccine response to a novel pathogen we have in our arsenal.

Banning “dangerous gain-of-function” pathogen research is actually just banning pathogen research. TB causes chronic disease, the supposed cornerstone of the MAHA movement. Hard to see ending TB research on treatments as anything but another targeted attack on science in service of destroying it.
Ditto. Thanks for this Sarah. www.statnews.com/2025/10/06/g...
The NIH ordered me to stop my ‘dangerous’ gain-of-function research. It isn’t dangerous at all
Safe gain-of-function research is necessary to identify new treatments for diseases like for tuberculosis — but the NIH has imposed unfounded stops.

Over the past year, the vast majority of new jobs have gone to women. One economist says to help men find work, we need to embrace ways to "make girly jobs appeal to manly men." n.pr/3OwioTq

this was the biggest and fastest win against a pathogen in medical history
also it was a brand new pandemic pathogen
simply awe-inspiring, if you understand anything about the promise of clear thinking and hard work to do good and achieve great things

To say that "the data show these vaccines fail" in regards to the mRNA plaform is unforgivable.
For those of you that don't remember - this is the data from a SINGLE dose. In December 2020. So good I cried in grateful tears.

6. As such - and it really is stating the obvious here - ongoing global population infection with SARS-CoV-2 will make the world sicker, through both infection-induced chronic disease and pathogen-pathogen interaction.

I'm sorry, The Guardian, you've made an error. Scientists may have found the pathogen responsible for the blight, but the famine was caused by the English.

Vaccine refusal does not only harm the unvaccinated person. Infectious disease can spread to infants too young to be vaccinated, the elderly, and people with immunosuppression. Worse, as a pathogen spreads, more infections means more chances for mutations that allow the pathogen to evade vaccines.

one of the coolest things about masks is that it doesn’t matter what variant or pathogen or allergen etc
it just filters
you just have to wear it

COVID or not, I highly recommend considering masking right now especially if you are at risk. I know of 4 confirmed pneumonia cases across the country, in 3 states, 1 fatal. And a fifth suspected. And that’s just in *my circle.*
But since the CDC has been gutted, who would tell us?
Be careful.
