"via Kennedy and Laura Loomer" isn't the own you think it is. No data on testing of the employee or the timeline of these "incidents" either. Plus I thought the whole ebola thing was a hoax to undermine the government anyway

BREAKING: An Ebola-infected monkey recently bit an NIH lab researcher at Rocky Mountain Laboratories in Montana and then was allowed on a plane without being quarantined, according to HHS Secretary Kennedy, per Laura Loomer.

@pandabearmom @drseanmullen @BovbjergMarit @DrTedros @WHO Not insane when you're trying to protect HCWs and make the tracing effective
English
English
@drseanmullen @DrTedros @WHO Perhaps because PPE scares people and makes them not comply or assault the contact tracers?

@ZakariaMDv3 Hard to study everything when governments keep cutting all the funding and "take a break from infectious disease". Easy to sit in a chair and criticize on YT and Twitter

12,000 studies on Ivermectin.
ZERO studies looking at Ebola.
They know Ebola causes a cytokine storm.
They know RNA viruses work on similar pathways.
But they haven’t researched it.
Interestingly.... other peer reviewed research by Zhang et al shows how Ivermectin targets Cytokine Storms.
And Dr. Kylie Wagstaff, author of anti-parasitic drug research said Ivermectin “works on a pathway we have innately inside ourselves, that a lot of viruses try to target”.
Dr. John Campbell can’t help but be left disappointed with the World Health Organization (WHO). Cases missed weeks before they declared an emergency.... and no consideration of a “life saving agent”.
He knows exactly what he would though.

Is there an association between human herpesviruses (HHVs) reactivation and Long COVID? We analyzed HHV DNA shedding in saliva and found that HHV-6 correlates with Long COVID severity. Claire Laxton, @S_Tabachnikova, Lily Cooke, Kexin Wang et al.

@GeneSmi96946389 Lol those embryos must use tiny pencils
English
A friend of mine had her embryos screened by Herasight and they found one with an IQ score in the 99.99th percentile

@1goodtern Pertussis and measles seem like red herrings. Increased cases could be due to decreased vaccine uptake. If COVID reduces vaccine efficacy, that would be an important story. The flu and RSV data could be informative for that hypothesis
English
@KrutikaKuppalli @bhanlon15 No need to subject those Americans to the additional trauma of our healthcare system and the current attitude of our government toward infectious disease
English
An American aid worker with #Ebola was sent to Germany. Another exposed American worker is now being sent to the Czech Republic.
This is unacceptable. The U.S. has world-class clinicians and an entire network of specialized biocontainment units built for exactly these situations after 2014.
It is appalling that American humanitarian and healthcare workers are not being brought home and cared for in their own country.

@MeganTStevenson Innocent until proven guilty, I guess
Is the 100% an estimate of the proportion of the text written by a human, or the confidence that (a portion of) the text was written by a human?
English
Out of curiosity, this morning I tested a couple pages of material that were mostly AI-written, although I had spent a while editing, restructuring, etc. Pangram said 100% human written. Seems like their algorithm tilts towards type two errors rather than type one errors.

Today in @Nature, we report MouseMapper: foundation-model AI to map disease perturbations across the entire mouse body cell-by-cell.
In obesity, it revealed body-wide inflammation & unexpected facial nerve damage. 🧵👇🔉

@zdeborova @eiszett If your citations are that sloppy then maybe your science is also sloppy. TBS, papers are collaborative efforts and we rely on ALL the authors to be rigorous about the citations. I can't confirm that the citations in sections written by coauthors are 100% correct
English
@eiszett Have you read all the sources you ever cited? During my PhD we, along with dozens of other papers, cited a paper that I later found did not contain the result for which it was commonly cited. I should be banned I guess.
English
Occasional errors and oversights are part of science. If we lost our driver’s license for a year every time we exceeded the speed limit by 10 km/h, daily life would become unworkable. Many countries instead use point systems, where trust can be rebuilt through good behavior.

@bakermind @bhanlon15 Accelerated features of chronological aging that are tied to (and reveal) many of the same key inflection points seen in chronological aging.
Speaking of things we should collaborate on, I have a student making a planetarium film on IACI through microscopy & want to connect you.
English
What about the kind of accelerated aging you see in chronic Lyme, long COVID, ME/CFS and other neglected complex chronic illnesses?
Peter Ottsjö@peterottsjo
The ultimate test for AI × bio is aging. There is nothing more complex in biology. Now two of the top experts in the field say we are nowhere near a solution using AI. But they also provide encouraging ways forward. Let's take a look. (1/7) 🧵

@liamsLCjourney @JackHadfield14 Another piece to be filled in when the complete studies are released. A significant number of non-LC patients are also intolerant to one or more drugs in this family. It will be interesting to see LC changes this percentage.
English
@JackHadfield14 Looks like about 10% of patients that got worse mentioned they were still negatively affected months later.
English
Excited to announce our results from the first ever survey on GLP-1s for Long COVID and ME!
Patient outcomes showed two extremes: while 53% improved, 28% experienced worsening, some long after their last dose.
Full analysis here and in the tweets below:

This is standard for the medical field nowadays, especially in Connecticut. Patients die just because there is insufficient (or inadequate) staff. Try to avoid going to a hospital if at all possible

@DrJMarine Many more people died of COVID and of heart disease every day than died when an airplane went down, but the news runs with airplane crashes. What makes stories newsworthy is their novelty. COVID was novel. Also, infectious diseases are important because they are, well, infectious
English
Now 40 days into the hantavirus outbreak. In that interval, 0 Americans have died of hantavirus while 100,000 Americans have died of cardiovascular disease.
After the first 100,000 Americans died of covid in May 2020, the New York Times marked the event with a full page, mourning the “incalculable loss.” Yet America suffers this (calculable) loss from CV disease every 40 days and has for decades. It receives almost no attention from the corporate media, public health establishment, or X posters. Because fear of this problem cannot be weaponized and politicized. So it continues.

@MeghanMcCain WTF does it matter who was POTUS? Why do you hate that dude

I remember when that Ebola doctor came back from Africa and went to the meatball shop, gutter bar and in Ubers all around New York City in the Obama years…
Neil Stone@DrNeilStone
If you live in DR Congo 🇨🇩, Uganda 🇺🇬, or other countries in the Central /East Africa region , Ebola is a real concern . I doubt it will spread far beyond that region but millions of people live there and I'm concerned for them .
English
In early 2020 I wasn't even working on COVID, but hearing about my wife's patients gave me a strong suspicion that it was going to produce a wave of ME/CFS-like consequences. Some people didn't have a quick recovery, and the vascular components hinted at widespread damage
Olenka Sayko@coco_chatel
Don’t ever let anyone in public health tell you there was no way to know Long COVID would come. People with pre-COVID ME predicted this from the earliest days of the pandemic. But it was business as usual ignoring the existed of PAIS as medicine/govt had done for decades prior.
English
@TriciaDearborn @crwequine Because the contamination is easier to visualize with liquids, and imbibing liquids is a voluntary act. Breathing is second nature that people take for granted thanks to an autonomic nervous system
English
Just take a minute to think about why the thought of drinking contaminated water is disgusting, but the thought of breathing contaminated air is not. It hardly even registers with most people.
Air in public indoor spaces should be cleaned, as public water is
Lisa Oshima@lisawhelan
Raw sewage in streets and cholera in drinking water once seemed normal. Now it’s unthinkable. Yet we tolerate the airborne equivalent in too many indoor spaces, including schools, doctor's offices, work & more. Clean, healthy air is the next public health and economic frontier.

In fact, many critics of "let er rip" DID anticipate the scale & impact of #LongCOVID.
Google Scholar notes many studies already in 2020. We drafted the scenario planning (policy calculus) figure in 2020 for a COVlD grant that built the organizational footing for PMC.
Jerome Adams@JeromeAdamsMD
Reminder: Long COVID's disability & suffering will be the pandemic's most devastating long-term global legacy. Neither GBD supporters nor critics anticipated its scale or included it in their policy calculus -and “let er rip” strategies prioritizing widespread exposure clearly worsen the toll. Millions affected, with real costs in lives and productivity (on top of 20 million direct deaths globally, which we should never forget or minimize). nature.com/articles/s4385…

I remember this very disappointing scenario in which ME/CFS was linked to XMRV infection, only to learn it was a red herring at best and a hoax at worst. Later I discovered the author has gone on to have quite the career in conspiracy theory science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
