It’s not a love story.
It’s a transmission strategy.
Parasites that hijack fear.
Viruses that sabotage courtship.
Fungi that demand altitude.

A good read, summarizing what has happened to science & medicine since Kennedy's confirmation.
His anti-vaccine stance is behind measles outbreaks, is causing an exodus of next gen scientists, turning pharma companies away from investing in American R&D.

Love isn’t always what it seems.
Sometimes it’s hijacked by microbes.

Kinda weird that the party that controls the House, the Senate, and the White House claims there's rampant voter fraud.
Holy shit.
we couldn't use government funds to buy coffee (like, folgers ground coffee) when i worked on a CDC outbreak emergency response
New episode is live:
At the Edge of Spillover – The Nipah Paradox
High fatality. Neuroinvasion. Human-to-human transmission.
And yet… it burns out.
Why does a virus this formidable fail to go pandemic?
🎧 Listen here: infectiousdose.com/post/nipah-paradox
#InfectiousDose
Nipah virus checks uncomfortable boxes:
• High fatality rate
• Human-to-human transmission
• Neuroinvasion
• Fruit bat reservoir
• No licensed vaccine
So why does it keep burning out?
🎧New episode drops tomorrow at midnight CST.

Babies are being born with syphilis in 2026.
It’s curable. It’s preventable. And it’s a public health failure.

Thanks for posting this @mackayim.bsky.social
I have been talking about this for years and how its not just the acute infection but rather the increased risk to subsequent infections that is particularly concerning
I have been informed by U.S. Rep. Veronica Escobar and confirmed by the City of El Paso, Texas that there are two known active cases of tuberculosis registered at Camp East Montana. There are also at least 18 cases of COVID-19.
I had been hearing rumors of this from my contacts for weeks.
Good to hear. 🙏❤️
I interviewed @brownecfm.bsky.social about this a couple weeks ago. His perspective is invaluable.

An immigration atty repping families at a detention facility said a child suffering from appendicitis collapsed in pain after being denied meaningful med attn. "The child passed out in a hallway vomiting and writhing ... only to be offered Tylenol" www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news... @mikehixenbaugh.com
Ex husband says that. I explained he was always surrounded by the vaccinated. He got flu last week and ended up hospitalized after a 911 call. He gave it to my son who gave it to me. I’m vaccinated so it hasn’t been severe but it’s worse than not having the flu at all! I’m so tired of this.
If you or your loved ones are in need of a KN95 Mask (or like... many of them), drop by our office at 132 Main Street in Fredericton during office hours and fill your boots!
Masking up is a simple way to help protect your community and lighten the burden on our health care system. #NewBrunswick

“This episode is not a scientific explainer & not an invitation to debate. It exists to make clear where this podcast stands, why silence is not an option, why evidence, accountability & human rights are inseparable from public health” @infectdosepodcast.bsky.social
Entanglement is one of the greatest threats to whales around the globe. It's a complex problem, but we hope Canada's new "whalesafe" strategy finds success on the east coast, and that similar action will be taken on the west coast soon.

A brief statement clarifying the ethical boundaries of #InfectiousDose is now live.

We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”
Or, and hear me out, don't upload photos and videos that could facilitate a statewide takeover of your local school district and arbitrary consequences for children.
More of this, please!!!

A long-term dream of mine has been to bridge @viralemergence.org's work on AI/ML-driven viral risk assessment with AI/ML-driven work on drug discovery. This would make a great topic for this fellowship here at Yale! If you're interested in applying, reach out. medicine.yale.edu/biomedical-d...
