From @jasongale.bsky.social based on his brilliant new book. Captures a lot of what actually was, and contrasts that to our (faulty/revised) memory those facts. And importantly, why that all matters for the next pandemic. All a bit sad to me, but great work Jason.

‘The Wealth of Nations’ at 250: Needed now more than ever
Great read. “Astonishingly, his work still frames the central questions we face, not just about free markets, trade and capitalism, but about the nature of human society, and even what it is to be human at all.”
My dear friend and beloved mentee, Sylvia Chou, stands tall in these awful times. So honored to know her.

The era we are living in offers too many illustrations of greed, narcissism, and hatefulness. But I still believe we can recommit ourselves to serving the common good of all Americans. [Artwork by Jennifer Bloomer]

California voters just said F*CK NO to Trump’s authoritarian power grab!
Prop 50 is more than a ballot measure, it’s a blueprint for how we defend democracy. It proves that when voters are given the chance to stand up and fight back, they do — by huge margins and despite relentless intimidation.
serious note: they're gonna try 5x harder to sabotage the midterms after tonight and we're gonna have to organize on a literally historic scale to stop them
Paxlovid from Pfizer costs $15 to make and now retails for $1500.
Insane
The most important races will be in battleground districts and states, especially those where House seats are held or could be won by Democrats where Trump beat Harris.
!! WIN BACK THE HOUSE !!
Screenshot of my post from 6 months ago that says My predictions for what happens when RFK Jr. is confirmed: By 2026: He will fake or manipulate data to allegedly show that vaccines cause autism or something else. 2026: Vaccination rates will continue to plummet. 2027-28: Outbreaks of VPDs will increase, and infants and children will die.
It is hard to express my horror at the fact that it appears the first of my predictions will be coming to fruition on Friday, September 19th, 2025, at the meeting of RFK Jr.’s handpicked Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP).
In the midst of states thinking about removing vaccine mandates, Maryland will protect access to vaccines for all of its residents with flu season approaching. wtop.com/maryland/202...
This is the assignment. Get everyone you know to show up. This is not a drill. I repeat. This is not a drill. Spread the word, far and wide. OCTOBER 18th. www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...
There was a slew of false statements made about COVID19 mRNA vaccines yesterday.
I can’t recommend highly enough this article from May by Dr. Deborah Fuller to clear up a lot of the chaff.
Exciting!
As CDC declines, California will join West Coast public health alliance

If I have to remain in this country, thank god I can be in California!
The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) recently declared routine vaccination for influenza, pneumococcus, and SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) as the fourth pillar of cardiovascular prevention.
Dumm nur dass Deutschland das nicht weiß

Dude!!! The time is now. Please spread the word.
I feel the same about him (as a Californian). The one good thing about what Texas started is that it shines a bright light on the House and how precious every single district is. Dems must have a big tent and focus on the enemy.
I’m telling you that’s not what’s happening.
Exactly. I’m saying the far left should tread delicately with their moderate sisters and brothers. But you seem unaware that this is not what’s happening.
I get that. But the image of Elon Musk with a chain saw comes to mind.
There are shiny new *but moderate* Democratic members of the House who need everyone’s support, not harassment from within.
That’s actually not true. Indivisible representatives give them a very hard time. I’ve heard this from multiple people who are directly affected.
Please don’t be so cavalier about the people who are most key to taking back the House and Senate.
This may seem like a non sequitur, but it’s not. We MUST take back the House and Senate. But the far left will be one of our main obstacles. I’m posting this here for reach.
