War in Iran has a serious impact on oil and gas prices. You know, I can't think of a global conflict that could have a similar impact on solar or wind access.

I aim for a booster every 3-4 months.

The only thing wrong with the current Lancet cover is the use of the word "might." That's normal scientific writing, but I'm totally on board with saying "will."

I wish I had come up with this. I don't know the origin.

If Trump really wants to destroy Iran, he should go be their president for a few months.

I built a tool that mapped US county census data to a couple of early publications. You could pick the geography of interest and calculate cases, hospitalizations, ICU volumes, and deaths. Let me know if you are interested and I'll dig it out for you.

Should there ever be a need for a really good infection preventionist there, I'm more than happy to move and get away from this psychopath in the White House.

The White House said in June, and I quote, "Iran’s Nuclear Facilities Have Been Obliterated — and Suggestions Otherwise are Fake News"

Do I need to get the debuterillator?

The best thing I've done for myself is not caring what people think of me. People who don't accept me didn't belong in my life anyway.

I did not want to wake up to what could easily be the start of WWIII. I don't support authoritarian governments, which includes the US and Iran. This is another distraction from the Epstein files. How many Americans must die for Trump to cover his tracks?

Why is Florida ending longtime HIV drug assistance to more than 10,000? The state invoked emergency rule-making power for what advocates say will be another emergency, when HIV-positive patients lose medication assistance.

The Republican disease and death cult strikes again.

There is a deliberate project to make people only remember mitigation measures from 2020.

What actually happened is totally unmentionable. It never gets discussed.

I would say what is right with you. I wish more people expressed that level of empathy. It would solve many problems.

Ivermectin grifters in 3...2...1...

This time bomb keeps ticking.

Casey Means has never had a license to practice medicine.

In addition to not completing her own medical training, she does not have any specialized training in women’s health, endocrinology, pharmacology or toxicology.
