Opinion | I Grew Up Unvaccinated. Now Iβm an Immunologist.
Great essay from @sciencewhizliz.bsky.social.
Lizβs story resonates with me. I also grew up unvaccinated.
I know my mom made the choice not to vaccinate me and my sisters out of love, misguided as it was.
I got myself vaccinated when I turned 18.

Twitter mentions Friday 6 February: 17,947 posts
Bluesky, same timeframe: 24,512 posts
Since we have 2 months of 2026 data now, we can see if the trend we saw last year holds up: does research from the current year get shared more on Bluesky or X-Twitter?
As you can see here, we still see days regularly where Bluesky's volume of research sharing is markedly higher than Twitter.

Scary Headlines

Cancer risks from DNA fragments in vaccines, formaldehyde, radiation, or chemicals? I saw all of these this morning. A critical thinker might ask how and how much. Exposure, mechanism, & probabilities matter. Quantitative risks by numbers not nouns.

Merriam Webster defines Gish Gallop as "a rhetorical technique or strategy by which a debater puts forth too many false arguments for their opponent to be able to refute in the allotted amount of time."
In 2026, cranks can use AI to generate Gish Gallops on steroids.

He Didn't Know He Broke 11 Ribs. This Surprise Condition Was to Blame.
Case report highlights challenges of tumor-induced osteomalacia
7 years of symptoms!
Fake chronic #Lyme diagnosis & needless antibiotics/IVIG!
Real diagnosis: "tumor-induced osteomalacia caused by a 15 x 9 mm phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor lodged in his left femoral neck β a small, slow-growing lesion that had been silently dismantling his skeleton for years."
