Here's how stupid Trump thinks we are: he just dumped a bunch of valuable water from 2 federal flood control dams, wasting it into the Tulare Lake bed where it evaporates. None goes to LA, but he claims he's saving LA. Pissing on us and telling us it's raining.

More details on censorship at the CDC from Alexander Tin. TLDR; Trump officials stopped CDC scientists from publishing data on bird flu in the MMWR. Instead, they forced CDC scientists to publish on the health risks of wildfires to bolster Trump's attacks on CA Gov Newsom.

#FEMS2025 is just about to start Happy to be here FEMS

Legionella pneumophila steals a lot of host genes! Truly a copycat bacteria. Lots to learn FEMS

In case you were worried about aluminium in vaccines. Vaccines are a critical prevention tool that reduces human suffering and death

My breakfast companion. Silence is priceless

Pandemic preparedness in the US has been leveled a crippling blow with the cancellation of multiple #BARDA contracts to help develop mRNA vaccines. No other vaccine platform produces vaccine so quickly; without mRNA, Americans will have a long wait for pandemic vax.

#NIH director Jay Bhattacharya doubles down on his assertion that the US is moving away from mRNA vaccine research because the public does not trust these vaccines. Distrust of mRNA is not universal; where it exists, the flames have been very actively fanned.

#CDC has been advised of another 3 children who died from #flu in the 2024-25 season, bringing the confirmed pediatric death toll to 270. This number could rise further; pediatric deaths are often reported months later. Most weren't vaccinated. This is beyond tragic.
