Heavy rainfall floods the camps of displaced Palestinians in Gaza | CNN Displaced Palestinians in Gaza woke up Friday morning to inches of water flooding their tents, after heavy rainfall overnight left their shelters and belongings soaked with no way to dry them out.

I usually share a new Palestinian account every day but today I am going to do a thread of people Iโ€™ve already verified impacted by the recent flooding in Gaza. If you can help any of these families- many who lost everything again- please do. edition.cnn.com/2025/11/14/m...

Remember how they told you to stop wearing an n95 even though it would ostracize disability communities? Even though COVID still kills & disables?

It was their plan: habituate folks to preventable death & disability, teach them to abandon the sick, then dismantle public health.

Stop complying:

Science has learned that grant termination letters went out last night to principal investigators of 29 awards made by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), including nine grants that were part of a program hoping to deliver antiviral drugs to prevent future pandemics.

Science has learned that grant termination letters went out last night to principal investigators of 29 awards made by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), including nine grants that were part of a program hoping to deliver antiviral drugs to prevent future pandemics.

Other terminated grants involved research to develop improved COVID-19 vaccines and to address Long Covid, the mysterious lingering aftermath of some SARS-CoV-2 infections. โ€œThe research is being treated like we already have all the answers we will need in the future and that the current vaccines work well enough and donโ€™t need improvement, which we know is not true,โ€ says an investigator involved with one of the NIAID grants who asked not to be named for fear of retribution. โ€œSome of the studies being canceled were attempting to make a pancoronavirus vaccine, which would hopefully be available the next time a novel coronavirus jumps species into humans.โ€

Folks, very bad news for #LongCOVID. Deep breath.

29 awarded grants to do with COVID and Long COVID have been rescinded by NIH. ๐Ÿงช

Thank you so much to everyone who donated and boosted. I'm 78% of the way to my goal, and less than $1300 away from my next milestone.

After all your generosity, it's hard to ask again, but I truly appreciate anything you can spare.
