βNolen said she recently visited one of the communities in Utah seeing high numbers of measles to talk with people who have been infected about their experience with the virusβ¦ Nolen said the people she spoke with told her that contracting measles was much worse than they expected.β
Over 120 people have been hospitalized due to measles in Utah alone. "It is, at this time a real threat in our state and something we can do to stop it," said Dr. Leisha Nolen, state epidemiologistβ¦ pleading for people to get themselves and their children vaccinated.β @jackiantonovich.bsky.social
@mementomorty.bsky.social would you be willing to amplify?

There's a common misconception that zoonotic viruses require significant adaptation to jump from animals to cause human epidemics.
Not so π.
Further, we see clear signs of 1977 flu experiencing cell passage, prior to epidemic.
SARS-CoV-2? Business as usual.

This is the world that RFK Jr dreamed ofβnow that he runs the US health system heβs able to achieve his dreams each & every day, aided & abetted by Drs Bhattacharya, Makary, HΓΈeg, Kulldorff, Prasad & Oz

Matthew Levitt, former FBI counterterrorism official: Iran is actively trying to radicalize people here for lone offender attacks. Meanwhile, FBI counterterrorism agents got pulled to immigration work. Iran experts were fired. You can't surge people back and expect them to stay current on threats. π§΅
I am shocked that a person who has spent the latter half of his career speaking about how awful medicine & public health are has not restored trust in medicine and public health.
NBC: RFK Jr. vowed to restore public trust in health. It's not working, a new survey suggests

Powerful piece on the new CDC directorβthe Great Barrington Declaration/MAGA/MAHA/Brownstone bro who campaigned for RFK Jr when RFK Jr ran for president
This nails it:
"As much as he may claim to be working to restore trust in the agency, his actions seem far more likely to achieve the opposite"
RFK Jrβs measles outbreak in South Carolina, our neighboring state, has spread to NC
Itβs his dream of courseβall part of his extreme anti-vaxx, anti-science, conspiracy theorist, eugenicist plans for the USβbut itβs our nightmare

Try your damndest to live your life so that if you were fired from your job and about to give a speech that someone would tell you.
π¨ THIS IS NOT A DRILL. kristi noem is doing a live speech right now and doesn't know she was fired. π¨
If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.
On behalf of Brianβs family, we want to express our deepest gratitude for the overwhelming outpouring of support, messages, and contributions over the last 24 hours. At this time, our priority is Brianβs wellbeing. We are taking a necessary step back from the public eye to allow him to focus fully on his recovery in private. While he looks forward to engaging with you all again very soon, his health and his family remain the current priorities. Thank you for your continued patience and for being such an incredible community. Please keep Brian and his family in your prayers. β Team McGinnis
And for the record, Iβve been running long before this, and yes even after breaking my arm standing up for what I believe in. Itβs only made me more determined. Anger is real, and so is resolve. Take care.

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.
He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

PEPFAR, the program to stop hundreds of thousands of children and adults from dying of HIV/AIDS, was $6.5 billion a year.
I love everything about this! The conviction that a major figure was not struck by a bolt of lightning but worked to understand the system he would ultimately critique and help dismantle. The scholarly sleuthing rare books β all of it. ππ€

Not gonna share the video of Republican US Senator Tim Sheehy breaking a protesting Marine's hand, but you can find it on @charlotteclymer.bsky.social's timeline.
I'll just say that in a functional country, Sheehy would be expelled by the Senate.
Democratic Senators should publicly push for that.

What do you think the point of reading for and writing a literature review is? The process of reading and writing is crucial for THINKING. Your ideas are shaped by all of this, offloading it to gAI, no matter how "good" you think gAI is at it defeats the purpose entirely.
