When Science Becomes the Enemy From funding cuts to violence: How mRNA became ground zero in the war on expertise

This piece is an extraordinary deep dive into mRNA vaccine technology, why it is critical, and the damage caused by RFK Jr. torpedoing funding for it.

Incredible work by @funsizeimmuninja.bsky.social and Dr. Jess Steier.

mRNA is indeed, as the authors say, a molecule of hope.

I found a solution.

I stopped buying non-essentials and definitely nothing from any of these bastards.

Check this out!!!

Horrific. 😭😭

Horrific news and made even more so because they sacrificed their lives to allow us to see the truth of what is happening in Gaza.

How Canadian Wildfire Smoke Is Jeopardizing Health Across North America Small particles can get lodged in crevices of organs from lungs to arteries, causing inflammation and other health issues.

How bad is the air quality where you are? I am in the Toronto area and we have had a few extreme heat warnings and poor air quality from wildfire smoke. Gift article link (free for 7 days): How Canadian wildfire smoke is jeopardizing health across North America #ClimateChange #Canada

Since this appears to be our new normal, everyone who can afford it should have air purifiers for their homes. Good for wildfire smoke, Covid and clean indoor air.

Outside is a much bigger problem, of course.

I second this opinion on front load vs top load. Normally, front load uses less water, too.

I have a front load Electrolux (it was the only one that would fit into my laundry room) and the only complaint I have is that it is hard for me to bend over to get out all the clothes.

Canada didn't even have it last year. I had to go to Bellingham to get it!

Perfect impersonation of every MAGA and Maple MAGA cult member out there. #cdnpoli

Gloves Off is an excellent Canadian podcast. So is this article. 👇

How about helping out this enterprising young man? Only open to Canadians, though.

I congratulate you, sir, and I have forgiven you for calling me despicable.😊

Are you in Canada?

Sigh 😔

Is Hand Hygiene important?

Yes

But it's NOT "the most important infection prevention measure"

despite the endlessly repeated dogma

Saying it over & over for decades does not make it true

I realize broad science-literacy problems cannot generally be solved just by shoving more facts at people but I really wish more people understood that the entire purpose and mechanism of a vaccine is to educate your OWN immune system, making it about the most "natural" medical intervention possible

So many of us living with long covid have no idea if this is our soon-to-be fate. One of the reasons we talk about it so much is we don’t know how long we’ll have to do so. Saddened to hear of yet another advocate losing their life.

Good move.

Boost public service accounts when they arrive here, so they can build high enough follower counts to make it worth their time. Engagement on X is often a mirage, but if it appears higher it makes it harder for them to justify the transition.

Brilliant and I am not exaggerating.

UK British Occupational Hygiene Society clarifies that surgical masks are not PPE, and following IPAC guidelines does NOT fulfill an employer’s legal duty to provide respiratory protection.

“The report reinforces that employers have a legal duty under the Health and Safety at Work Act and COSHH to
