Unbelievable. The Holocaust museum LA *apologized* for sharing a general anti-genocide post, because it might be “misinterpreted” to include Palestinians. Palestinians are so dehumanized that they’re excluded from “never again,” apparently their genocide is the exception.

We're fairly close to being able to very effectively treat cancer with mRNA, and this will be a huge setback To be blunt: people you care about will die of cancer because of this decision
RFK JR: After reviewing the science… HHS has determined that mRNA technology poses more risk than benefits for these respiratory viruses. That’s why BARDA has begun the process of terminating these 22 contracts..

What appears to be a major breakthrough leading to future treatment of Alzheimers disease by the lab of my @harvardmed colleague Bruce Yankner, whose @NIH funding has been stopped like all others at the school. Take note @DrJBhattacharya @BostonGlobe
