Anti-vax is pro-preventable death and disability.

The absolute worst people in the world are getting all lathered up about it and that’s grim AF. People will die. Kids will get terrible and completely preventable diseases that we thought were a thing of the past. There will be a body count. 🧪

I fucking hate it!

#Vaccines are rad as hell. You should get them. All of them. Not only to protect yourself from awfulness but to protect folks around you from even more awful shit if they can’t get vaccinated yet like, you know, measles which infants can’t be vaccinated for until they are 1 and can be very serious.

Henry Kissinger is one of history’s greatest monsters and the fact he’s about to turn 100 and hasn’t spent a day of that time behind bars proves that karma is bullshit. Fuck him and fuck his legacy.

Well, we’re here now and I have no idea how long it will take to get back what’s been lost. This will have a major impact on children, specifically, and the results will be grim.

I fucking hate it.

Vaccines are one of, if not the, greatest public health achievements in history.

I read a lot of books and ‘Fantasticland’ by Mike Bockoven was recommended to me.

I just finished it and I’m not sure what I think about it yet, but I’m very sure it’s one of the most grim books that I’ve ever read. It’s a quick and VERY unsettling read.

I have qualms with it and it definitely makes you suspend some reality but I think that it also does address some real societal trends.

You may want to double check that someone hasn’t done it to your tweets unless you want them to. It has done it to a handful of my friends and colleagues.

Please share.

These investigations are conducted retrospectively after #molecularsubtyping links isolates from product or environmental samples to past clinical samples. They are also a good way to detect ongoing contamination issues.

I love Mando but this is, essentially, Din Djarin throughout the entire series. It, honestly, makes the show better, though.

The most disheartening realization of my adulthood was the realization that truth and proof could right a wrong and that the bad people would be held accountable just as soon as that proof was put in front of the public.

It’s total bullshit and that crushes me.

“Do you think that #COVID19 originated in a lab?”

I think that is highly unlikely and the literature so far on this topic has solidified my belief in a natural spillover origin.

“Are you open to a lab origin?”

Sure, if the evidence is there.

“Did you see the WSJ article about the DOE report?”

I did.

“Has this changed your mind?”

Ahhh, no. Not even close.

I was out for a walk and saw a house with an American and Russian flag hanging next to each other on their front porch. I’ve seen Ukrainian flags and other various ones before but this was a first, and interesting timing.

This was also in Montgomery County, MD.
