'Washington Post' editorials omit a key disclosure: Bezos' financial ties Three times in the past two weeks, editorials at the 'Washington Post' failed to disclose that they focused on matters in which owner Jeff Bezos had a material interest.

Viruses in our bodies never die. They’re just biding their time to reactivate and wreak havoc. If there’s a vaccine available, get it.

Third week of observing scary things under the microscope: watching #SARSCoV2🟣 positive cells arrive in the brain. Note it's still inside a blood vessel and being checked by astrocytes🟢and microglia🔵. What happens next? 😨 #FluorescenceFriday

What is he tracking a week later?!

Can I curse?

Historians of the future: Rest assured, millions of us know all this in real time. We are horrified, shocked, enraged, and ashamed. We are acting, in a thousand ways, to oppose it. This cannot, and will not, be how the United States ends. trib.al/EOixNrF

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Long Covid Is Real -- And It's Changing an Entire Generation Long Covid is affecting hundreds of thousands of kids in America, and many doctors and schools refuse to recognize their illness.

“When you have a disability people can’t see, you don’t get the same level of empathy. It feels like the world has moved on.”

It’s shameful how society is gaslighting people who are experiencing chronic illness and ignoring an ongoing public health crisis.

COVID-19 is “Airborne AIDS”: provocative oversimplification, emerging science, or something in between? COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 is often compared to other pandemics for its societal and global health impact, with some commentators drawing parallels to HIV/AIDS due to the immune dysfunction caused ...

Confocal microscopy photo showing astrocytes and amyloid-B

Viral trigger in Alzheimer’s disease is the real scary spooky #FluorescenceFriday.
Amyloid-β🟣 is an antimicrobial peptide that can be produced to trap pathogens in the brain. But it also induces an extensive neuroinflammatory response, as shown here with 🟠astrocytes. #NeuroCovid

After entrapping viruses, amyloid-β presence can generate an excessive response by brain cells, creating chronic inflammation and downstream pathology that may lead to Alzheimer’s symptoms. Fewer than 5% of #Alzheimer cases are genetic. For the vast majority, the cause is 'unknown'.

NEW: @CDCgov hit hard by massive firings that several staff describe to me as a “bloodbath.”

One of the most frightening things about Trump's fascist coup is how many people don't realize it's a fascist coup.

Both emergency dept and wastewater data suggest a rapid decline in prevalence after a relatively modest summer peak. The lull in evolution continues... with no new fast variants close behind XFG.

"The fact that COVID infections damage our brains is not debatable. There are hundreds of studies to support that COVID affects the brain, leading to memory, attention, executive function, and mental health issues."

Jane Goodall in forest habitat standing with a chimpanzee in her arms, as she purses her lips as if to kiss the chimpanzee.

"We are deeply saddened by the passing of Dr. Jane Goodall.

She was a force for nature, tirelessly advocating for the protection and restoration of our natural world.

Her presence will be sorely missed." - Tanya Steele, CEO WWF UK.

Listen to Jane Goodall’s final — and urgent — message Her final interviews are essential listening for everyone.

Jane Goodall, one of the most influential environmental figures in human history, has died at 91 while touring the country to deliver an urgent message about nature and human existence.

“We’re destroying the planet,” she said last week during the Forbes Sustainability Leaders Summit in NYC.

Air Club A global coalition aspiring towards healthy indoor air.

Not sure if the canary pins will be made widely available at some point (I hope so!) but you can keep an eye on www.airclub.org

Mask use and mandates significantly reduced SARS-CoV-2 spread: 70% lower risk on the USS Roosevelt, 49–76% case reduction in Ontario, and 18% average drop in US counties post-mandate.

Evidence supports strong public health impact.

Study finds COVID-19 damage to sense of smell can last years - UPI.com A COVID-19 infection might blunt a person's sense of smell for years afterward, but so subtly they might not even notice it, researchers wrote in a new study.

A diminished or lost sense of smell has been connected to weight loss, reduced quality of life and depression, and those who can't smell also might not be able to detect dangers like spoiled food, gas leaks or smoke.

“We are told by leaders that we are the future. But when it comes to the ongoing pandemic, our present is being stolen right in front of our eyes.”

Incredible speech by Violet Affleck who warned about the ongoing dangers of COVID & Long Covid, & advocated for masks and clean air at the UN today!
