CHAOS ERUPTS AT CDC
CDC Director Susan Monarez has been ousted after RFK Jr. demanded she change her policy on the COVID vaccine. Top officials from the Vaccine Unit, Zoonotic Division, and the Chief Medical Officer are resigning, per reports.
Horrifying news for public health.
An Onion front page with the headline: Congress, Now More Than Ever, Our Nation Needs Your Cowardice Who will stand up for our democracy? This question, fraught in even the most peaceful times, has only grown more pressing as our country approaches its 250th anniversary. Each passing day brings growing assaults on essential liberties like freedom of speech and due process. Meanwhile, our delicately assembled legal system faces a constant barrage of threats. Even as this issue reaches publication, the U.S. military has been deployed against peaceful protesters. We teeter on the brink of collapse into an authoritarian state. That is why, today, The Onion calls upon our lawmakers to sit back and do absolutely nothing. Members of Congress, now more than ever, our nation desperately needs your cowardice. Our republic is a birthright, an exceedingly rare treasure passed down from generation to generation of Americans. It was gained through hard years of bloody resistance and can too easily be lost. Our Founding Fathers, in their abundant wisdom, understood that all it would take was men and women of little courage sitting in the corridors of power and taking zero action as this precious inheritance was stripped awayโand that is where we have finally arrived. Now is not the time for bravery or valor! This is the time for protecting your own hide and lining your pocket. Now is not the time for listening to your idiotic constituents drone on about whatโs happening to their precious democracy. This is the time for getting down on all fours and grov- eling. Now is not the time to say, โEnough is enough,โ and have the tough conversations about resisting the ongoing assaults on American liberty. This is the time to let the wave of apathy and indifference roll over you as you think about getting a really nice renovation to your house in Kalorama. But what can I, one coward, do alone? you might ask.
Donald Trump just unilaterally bombed Iran. A masked gang is terrorizing our streets. America has rapidly devolved into an authoritarian state.
That's why, today, The Onion has purchased a full page ad in today's New York Times with a simple plea to Congress:
Sit back and do absolutely nothing.

good morning friends ๐โจ
Match hadn't started when the band were on though. I don't see the issue here. Guess they shouldn't pipe in music in the intervals either lest it dampen spirits
Eh? Famous rock band with epic tunes in stadium in Germany. Not sure what you're missing ๐ค
Total team effort!!

This is interesting! I would love to see an objective exploration into whether orange cats are actually dumber than other cats, because I suspect it is mostly the result of internet-fueled confirmation bias and not an actual shared trait.

Currently, respiratory virus activity is low in the EU/EEA.
#Influenza & #RSV have decreased to low levels in most countries. #SARSCoV2 remains low, but it is important to remain vigilant for potential increases.

๐ข Interesting paper alert (short thread): A phylogenetic analysis of bat sarbecoviruses reveals the closest known ancestors of SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 were circulating in horseshoe bats less than a decade before their emergence in humans.
