I always wondered what it was like for scientists trying to pull the curtain down to expose AIDS or that tobacco causes cancer. This is it. We’re living in truly wild times.

So 1/3-1/2 of US children have a chronic condition (~5-6% rise benchmarked in 2023, since 2011, whether you look at EMRs or parent-reported data). In other words, kids are immunocompromised. A lot of kids. And we’re not protecting them. We’re actually lowering every possible.

FYI: Advocating for science in a state building, especially using your role, time, or resources is lobbying under most states’ laws. It’s legal if you register, train, report, and follow employee rules. Otherwise, it could breach state and institution policies.

Liability. Finally!. We’re coming for you if you’re cavalier with people’s lives and side with comfort over science and safety.

Hell yes 🙌.

Ok let’s break down the science. Linked Study 1:. - Provided some evidence that chronic exposure to outdoor LAN (ambient nighttime lighting) is associated with increased risk of cerebrovascular disease, likely via circadian rhythm disruption pathways. But it does not support.

Every word of this .

You took my idea, you son of a. pun.

This is in my near future.

Not everyone has Long COVID. Some people just have permanent organ damage and a complete inability to function. Call it Wide COVID, if you like. When you multiply, you cover more area. But the real problem is volume. You need height to grow, to rise. But the damage keeps you.

COVID is airborne, persistent, and neuroinvasive… but sure, tell me again how you're “boosting immunity” with gratitude journaling and a smoothie.

The good news is: COVID won’t kill you instantly anymore. The bad news is: it’ll rot your insides while you smile through a team meeting ….a meeting about why you're suddenly breathless, confused, and forgetting names. …symptoms that, pre-pandemic, meant cardiovascular.

We didn’t “go back to normal.” We just normalized mass disability, mass gaslighting, and mass graves.

So glad we replaced public health with positive thinking. Nothing keeps endothelial cells tight like denial and vibes.

Don't worry, it's not viral persistence. It's just that everyone coincidentally became allergic to living.

KANSAS. THE most likely origin of the “Spanish” Flu. The first known case in the U.S. military was reported in March 1918 at Camp Funston (now part of Ft Riley), shortly after the U.S. entered World War I. Being the proactive and brilliant history buffs that we are, we’ve.

Yes, the suit understands airborne transmission perhaps more than the medical personnel. It’d be great if everyone was wearing an N95, but I won’t let perfect be the enemy of good. US healthcare workers should take a hint.
