Vinay Prasad thinks he knows better than you whether you should take a novavax vaccine.

He rejects medical freedom and embraces raw government power to limit your choices.

“Repubs in Congress are saying "get lost" to millions of people who are counting on Medicaid to cover the medicine that treats their cancer, the hip replacement they need to walk, & the inhaler to help their kid breathe.

And for what? To pay for tax cuts for the rich—Sen Warren #BlueSky #MedSky

New Yorkers, call your State Senator and Assemblymember! There is still a chance we can stop this effort to restrict masks in the state budget! #NoNYMaskBan

Sometimes it’s hard to believe that in the midst of hundreds of people still dying weekly from COVID-19, millions disabled by #LongCOVID, measles spreading, wildfire smoke, & more our Democratic @governor.ny.gov wants to **restrict** masks, an essential public health tool! #NoNYMaskBan

NY State Budget is not final yet.

New Yorkers, keep calling your NY State Senators and Assemblymembers and urge them not to pass any anti-mask policies in the state budget!

Arresting judges is a 5-alarm escalation What would you say if you saw it in another country?

"Going before a grand jury isn’t a nicety or a minor procedural step. The Fifth Amendment requires it. Arresting Dugan before convening a grand jury was intended to get flashy headlines and whip the MAGA faithful into a frenzy."

This is really gross. Researchers poisoned a subreddit without consent to see what would happen if you poison a subreddit.

"The LLMs also pretended to be real people including rape victims, trauma counselors, a Black man, and someone blaming a religious group for atrocities."

Sure there is. We, the workers, start grinding shit to a halt. We shut down airports. We strike. We leave critical structures like power, water treatment & healthcare, but we shut shit down til they're begging us.

But I am now."-- Governor JB Pritzker #BlueSky #MedSky

I created this picture in 2016. More true than ever

Herd immunity by letting measles infect everyone "naturally" is like: Fireproofing a forest by letting it burn down. Measles isn't mild: ~20% need hospitalization, ~2/1000 DIE. Vaccine: <1/million have a serious complication (allergy). Ironically, vaccines NATURALLY harness your immune system

Just read this graf. Share it with people you know who don’t pay attention to politics or news.

Gross. Jeezus.

Each & every last one of them.

Mother of God. This is unspeakably vile. The Saddam Hussein-esque statue is especially horrendous. This is exactly what he wants, make no mistake about it, his own little Trumped up mini-Dubai.

Jeezus. America is a joke. Where is the NSA????

Impeach & remove. Both Trump & Vance. Straight to jail. Do not pass Go. Grassley is old af, but he can pick a vice president & then resign.

We set up a concentration camp for asylum seekers in the Panama jungle.

Fondness for hijacking the news cycle to distract from the plane crashes, illegalities & incompetencies of DOGE & Trump.

He knows good & goddamn well. He just dgaf. It's pure propaganda plain & simple.

Imagine working your whole life to reach an honored status in your career and some drunk ass fucking rapist comes and takes it away from you.

Genuinely incredible piece of reporting here that makes the story completely unimpeachable. They sat in the back of an immigration courtroom and watched the guy pull out his personal phone and post to his racist account DURING the hearing!

Upon learning that yesterday would be my last day as a program officer at the National Science Foundation, I shared this parting message with my colleagues. The next few months will be frenetic and stressful for them. Here are some things that you can do to help them with the mission ahead. (1)

They arrived at the United States border from around the world, hoping to seek asylum.

Instead, they were detained, shackled and flown by the U.S. military to a faraway country, Panama.

Our exclusive look at a new front in Pres. Trump’s immigration crackdown:

‘I really wanted something to happen.’ The students behind the Stand Up for Science protests New group hopes to turn out researchers for 7 March demonstrations against Trump administration policies

Scientists are now organizing events, called Stand Up for Science, on 7 March in Washington, D.C., and state capitals.

So far, they have attracted more than 100 volunteers from some 30 states who are hoping to rally support for research as a public good. scim.ag/4328LAD

When you see this happening somewhere else in the news, this is the part where they talk about the junta taking control of the military.

Start impeachment, start arresting them when they access classified information, start getting the injunctions and contempt of court rulings to lock them up.

Opinion: Long COVID is solvable, but we need more clinical trials Some people may remain ill after COVID infection because the virus still lurks in their bodies. The looming question now is: Who will pay for drug development and trials?

"Contrary to what is often portrayed in the media, long COVID is not a mystery. There is a straightforward reason at least some people may remain ill “after COVID”: They still have the SARS-CoV-2 virus — or parts of the virus — in their bodies." - Dr Amy Proal
