A recent scientific paper included an antigenic map, comparing the immune status of individuals vaccinated with a range of vaccines "… vaccinated sera", against a collection of significant variants "Virus …". The map was very informative, so I built a quick dataviz project. 🧵

What did we learn about COVID in 2020? A thread on studies from the first year.. part 1:

One of the reasons why I go so hard on science misinformation/disinformation, is that as a working scientist it is frustrating to see your research misreported to push an agenda. For example, consider this piece of right-wing propaganda from The Telegraph that was just published

1. Very important study - and the primary reason I avoid infection. 'The long-term impact of COVID-19 may be consequential years after the infection and give rise to long-term illnesses including neurocognitive problems similar to what is seen in Alzheimer's disease'.

Nex 🍉 Vaccines do not prevent infection nor do they prevent long covid. We do not have sterilizing vaxx for covid (despite what govt tried to claim). COVID is *nothing* like the flu. It's a multi system airborne vascular disease, not a respiratory illness, and there's no seasonality

If you've been following me a long time, none of this is new to you; it is, however, now conveniently all aggregated in one useful source. The global decoupling from the United States is not something that is going to be reversed when the era of MAGA finally dies; it's a

This is potentially the biggest Iran story nobody is talking about: the global insurance market may be heading toward a systemic crisis. Here’s why… Most people don’t realize London isn’t just a financial center it’s THE center of global insurance. Lloyd’s underwrites ~40% of

If you have parents who are 75 years and above, please read this carefully. At that age, something quietly begins to change in them. Their bodies slow down, their energy fades, and the world they once understood starts moving faster than they can keep up with. The people they

I saw a post from a US “doctor“ (a woman in this case) denigrating someone wearing a mask in the fitness… she doesn’t allow to respond so let’s do this for everyone: More masked fitness! 3dcoolelements.com

AI writing has so many tells. Once you see it, it's fairly easy to identify (and exhausting to see everywhere). If you don't know how to spot it, please read: litmagnews.substack.com/p/q-what-is-ai…

The key thing in this pandemic is how ppl just don't learn. So many are still where they were in 2019: washing hands is key; viruses always get weaker over time; vaccines are perfect; immunity doesn't wane. None of these were ever 100% true, but now are outright false for CV

Why Do Some People Still Wear Masks In 2026 And On A Completely Unrelated Note Why Is Everyone In The Office Sick Right Now Apart From The Guy In The Mask?

Science takes ~17 years to reach clinical practice. The science in 2026 is clear: we don’t have another decade to wait on SARS-CoV-2. If you’re doing what you can to avoid (re)infection, your behaviour is 100% aligned with best current available evidence.

A few weeks ago I had a conversation with an American who genuinely believed Europe and Canada would help the United States in its war with Iran. I asked him why he thought that, given that Trump had spent months threatening to annex Canada and seize Greenland. He went quiet.

Gandalv Ruud Hendriks The sealed-universe effect: The US is uniquely sealed off, a continental superpower intoxicated by its own exceptionalism and a winner mythology so total it can’t recognize collapse when it arrives.

Your smart TV is taking screenshots of your screen every 15 seconds. Not a guess. Not a theory. A peer-reviewed study by researchers at UC Davis, UCL, and UC3M tested it. Samsung TVs: every minute. LG TVs: every 15 seconds. Even when you're just using it as a monitor. Here's
