@ClareCraigPath Seems reasonable. Up to the individual to take some ABX or not.

You can be a "case" in the meningitis outbreak even if you don't have meningitis.
English
@ZubyMusic @jetpen I can still make an ai post on my account, either directly or indirectly

@DocPriyamMD @relaxtakitease @Dr_Chibuike_M This outbreak seems more serious than other outbreaks, according to the response to it.
English
Who hurt you? Seriously.
Meningitis has been infecting and killing young people for the last 100+ years. There is absolutely nothing strange or new about a highly contagious pathogen spreading through a population of young people in close proximity...it is literally textbook epidemiology.
English
Can anyone remind me why everyone from journalists to software engineers to gym trainers are suddenly allowed to spew absolute bullshit regarding medicine?
We are talking about medical facts on human lives, not "opinions"
Case in point: Meningitis. It is highly contagious, it is devastating.
Spreading medical lies shouldn't just be frowned upon...it should be a non-bailable offense.

Meningitis is NOT contagious, so what’s with all the nonsense? As my friend Kat Watkins says on FB today: “Meningitis is an infection in the brain caused by toxins passing the blood brain barrier. You cannot 'catch' it, it's not contagious 🙄🙄 So all this closing of schools is just theatre. It's to scare you into making sure you jab yourselves and your kids up. How many of those who have presented with meningitis, had the covid vax? Since its a side effect? As well as a side effect of many other jabs 🤷🤷”

@awanfirst @DrEliDavid I am sure they were there to plant flowers

I find it deeply concerning to celebrate the targeting of individuals in this manner, regardless of their affiliations. It's essential to prioritize diplomacy and peaceful resolutions over military actions that can escalate tensions and lead to further violence. Our focus should be on fostering understanding and dialogue.

Israel's intelligence is next-level:
4 IRGC commanders in Lebanon tried to hide. They booked 15 hotel rooms under false names, and used only 1 room. They disabled all hotel security cameras.
All 4 were killed today with a single missile to their room. No hotel guest was harmed.

@veen_els @mkeulemans @MargaBult2025 @LightHouseTVnl Ik had een geliefde met ernstige vaccinatie schade. Ze is een paar jaar later overleden aan kanker. Ik ben er nog steeds kapot van. Mensen als Keulemans hebben daar null empathie voor en zullen waarschijnlijk zeggen dat dit allemaal niet waar is.
Nederlands
Door de campagne 'veilig en effectief' en 'je doet het voor een ander' is vaccinatieschade niet alleen onbespreekbaar geworden, het wordt niet eens overwogen door veel medici. Het scheldwoord 'antivax' is niet alleen stijlloos, maar heeft er ook toe geleid dat er vijf jaar na die prikcampagnes nog niet eens een tipje van het tapijt is opgelicht. Want het dogma was dat vaccins altijd veilig zijn en de enige oplossing bij een pandemie. Mensen die zich hebben laten prikken en nu klachten hebben staan dubbel in de kou. Laat staan de mensen die een dierbare hebben, die is overleden door de prikken. Over stijlloos en respectloos gesproken.
Nederlands
Goh. Volgens Frank de Rooij en @LightHouseTVnl zijn postcovid/longcovid-patiënten eigenlijk vaccinatieslachtoffers die zich hebben laten omkopen, voor 'allerlei vergoedingen'. 😳
De postcovidpatiënten die ik ken, zien dat toch anders. 🤦
Nederlands
@mkeulemans @Wftproof @LightHouseTVnl @Pathenederland Ben je wel echt een expert? Wat zijn je medische credentials?
Nederlands
@Wftproof @LightHouseTVnl @Pathenederland >>2 ...Maar ook denk ik aan de speciale verantwoordelijkheid die ik heb als expert, om dat debat te informeren, en propaganda te ontmaskeren, leugens te doorzien.
Ik denk aan de patiënten, of aan de mensen die letterlijk zijn overleden omdat ze in antivax geloofden. >>
Nederlands
Hmm. Ik zie al meteen iets raarrrrs in die antivax-propagandafilm van @LightHouseTVnl en @pathenederland.
Déze cijfers. 👇
Volgens de docu zou dit de oversterfte zijn. Woohoo, de vacciiiiiiinns!!! 👻 >>

@rayaddisonlive My GP is so bad that I rather order meds from India after a chat gpt consultation than vitsit her.

Hellish day in A&E. The doctors and nurses are working flat out but the constant stream of patients is just too much. When I was a kid if you went to A&E you saw people with broken arms and bloody eye patches, things cut off or sticking out of their head. Today it was just people who couldn't get a GP appointment. Why do we not have enough doctor's surgeries in this country? Is it financially unviable to run one, too expensive to become a GP, or no longer a sought after career? What the hell is going on?
English
@TabulaStellar @ad0rnai @Dominanski @sal_tdot Exactly. The approval system is broken. 10 years and 1B dollars of trials to get a peptide vaccine approved as salvage treatment for AML.
English
@ad0rnai @Dominanski @sal_tdot They're like "oh no, an unproven neoantigen, far more dangerous than terminal cancer!"
They should all have their reputations ruined for this.
English
sorry buddy. I know your child is dying of cancer and there’s nothing technically stopping you from spending 100k to make an n=1 experimental vaccine to give him more time but have you thought about safety and efficacy and the ramifications on the healthcare system if everyone were to take matters into their own hands
English
@Dominanski @ad0rnai @sal_tdot 100%. This is actively happening with peptides. Many people will start using bpc-157 instead of going to their GP for an elbow issue for example.
English
H. Pylori, prof of microbiology at my alma mater knew him personally
My point is that patients are increasingly well informed, with AI they can position themselves at the current research edge. There are a lot of smart people out there that will do careful and well managed self experimentation aided by AGI, regulators will be several steps behind.
I believe that we as a profession are better off being open and supportive rather than paternalistic and dismissive, people will do it anyway and it likely goes better if we are part of the process

@liminal_warmth "you can't try this experimental treatment for your terminal cancer because what if it kills you" is a wild regulatory stance to maintain with a straight face
English
@Dominanski @Plinz Oh it might not work is not a great message to give to someone dying from cancer. Also remember that COVID vaccines that barely worked were rolled out to healthy people with low chance of dying from COVID.
English
What I’m telling you and others is that the ethics/permissions angle is the wrong one. The tech is real but it is not 100% effective and there are several tech variants + significant cancer heterogeneity to contend with.
Saying that it is gated by bureaucracy is misrepresenting the real issues
English
Fascinating thread wherein a cancer researcher basically says "sure, we could probably cure your cancer with an individualized mRNA vaccine, but like 100k sounds too expensive for saving you, and it would be unethical to save your life because the ethics committee won't like it"
Patrick Heizer@PatrickHeizer
Sorry to be the downer because this is an impressive story in some senses. But it is ~trivially easy to make a single mRNA vaccine. It's not hard. I cure mice of various cancers with various therapeutics all the time. I've made mice lose more weight in a month than tirzepatide does in a year. What is hard and expensive is proving its BOTH safe AND effective **in a randomized and controlled study in humans** while ALSO manufacturing it at clinical scale and grade. I am happy for this man and his dog. It is impressive. But y'all are overhyping it.

@christiandean_ @_FriedrichMerz @AOC If a model is post trained/fine tuned to be anti woke like grok you can only steer it by so much via prompting. Fun to shit on the eu but not so being intellectually dishonest

Grok has finished reviewing the entire corpus of active EU legislation.

@mdangremond @KeenanPeachy Those radars make good targets for the jets above the straight
English
@KeenanPeachy I served in the navy and we had no way to read transponders and somehow we were able to navigate the Messina straits and the straits of Gibraltar and see how the ships we needed to. Do you think Iran can’t see the Greek ships on radar?
English
>Iran makes grand plans to blow up oil tankers in the Strait
>plans defeated by Greek ship captains pressing the little "Off" button on their ship radar transponder for a few hours
lmao
English
@GVDBossche @clcisme I think it happens in the unvaccinated as well. I am living proof of that. But it is also realistic to say that it is impossible to avoid covid
English
The study was conducted in a context of China’s zero-COVID policy transitioning to mass Omicron spread in late 2022, where vaccination coverage was high but the analysis does not account for or differentiate based on it! Hence, an important word is missing from the title. It should read:
‘Persistent attenuation of lymphocyte subsets after mass SC-2 VACCINE-BREAKTHROUGH infection’.

NO ONE is immune from catching Covid, which increases your chances of Long Covid, and believe me…you DO NOT want this. Mask up.

Royal Navy stans: We have two carriers so in a crisis we always have one carrier ready to deploy, unlike the French, which have just one carrier.
Now we have a crisis:

right image: the 2 UK carriers

@JustinMcKenna @noclador They should've invested in their army like Obama asked them to in 2010
English
@noclador So what do you think the UK should do? Go all in with comparatively scarce resources which will make little difference (no offence intended)? Join in any brain fart decision to bomb someone? Get bullied by MAGA into mad escapades? Tell us.
English
Two 🇬🇧 aircraft carriers?
Come on now 😂😂
The UK doesn't have the escorts, doesn't have the fighters, doesn't have the personnel to deploy two carriers. The UK needs the US Marine Corps to lend it F-35Bs and the US Navy to lend it a destroyer to even deploy one (!) carrier.

@BohuslavskaKate Iran supplied parts to Russia for those missiles and drones. Take out Iran and Russia will be put under increasing pressure. Maybe this is the better way to handle this
English
ANNE APPLEBAUM: "Regarding Russia, the quantity of Patriot air-defense missiles, that has been used in just the last few days [in the Middle East] would have been enough to protect Ukrainian cities from the devastating blows to the electricity system over the past couple of months.
The United States has made a choice: it doesn't want to protect Ukraine or help Ukraine survive the war. Instead, we've decided to use that same capacity for this war of choice, one with an unclear outcome, against Iran. And the Europeans have seen that. The Ukrainians have seen it."
