sounds like a defence of the corrupt even when you explicitly announce that you're not doing that. 2/2

The right has disingenuously framed matters of hypocrisy in terms of "if person A does x then B should be able to do x without impunity" for so long that leftists who try to call out right wing charlatanism in the form of "you don't like it when you percieve left wing people to do it" 1/2

"Your T cells will protect you against viral infections"

Your T cells are exhausted and making poor decisions.

The people who will need significantly more education of public health due to what is clearly ignorance. Ignorance of course can, should and ought to be undermined with education.

Any substantive population, certainly MAGA supporters to whom are mostly politically uncommitted populists with a stark representation of poor, and Latino voters that are left unvaccinated will spell chaos for the rest of us. In fact, it is likely with RFKs position, that maga voters are precisely

Context of my frustration here: we’re discussing a communicable disease, this isn’t some Bolshevik revolutionary moment but a pathogen that without universal co-operation will disproportionately affect the poor, racialised, marginalised and broadly oppressed far harder than other demographics

Scratch a liberal, a fascist bleeds

And even when people took precautions it took less than two years to start pretending like they were no longer necessary. Yet we still think of people from the biblical ages as the prescientific people

Deeply affects much of the world's cultures today. Yet, on the verge of a twindemic (covid and h5n1 though with rsv, aids, monkeypox etc occurring that seems like the wrong word) we do not take even the precaution to regulate industrial farming sufficiently or even mask against airborne infections

It's quite ridiculous that in ancient times when pork was found to be causing trichinosis and other diseases and tapeworms it was prohibited through religion to the point where despite how preservation, farming and cooking techniques have rendered the prohibitions in that respect obsolete it still

I feel like I am a character in a dystopian movie. We have a big chance of facing soon a pandemic with a virus that scientists know is highly neuroinvasive. H5Nx viruses like #H5N1 were already found in all the regions in the brain below. Where are the vaccines, bloody hell?!?!

The picture shows an image of a manuscript pointing how airborne and foodborne transmission combined can accelerate viral spreading to more people. Plus, we have limited technologies exist to detect viral presence in food.

Just reminding you, if you think #COVID was bad, that's because you never imagined a pandemic with a virus that is AIR- and FOOD-borne at the same time, like #H5N1.

Usually these are the people who alse pride themselves on their economics knowledge despite never even pursuing the equivalent of even one term of undergraduate education in economics from even neoliberal classes never mind classical political economy.

To this day I still hear people say they support free trade but speak highly of trumps tarrifs as if they are a new idea that history hasn't done hundreds of times before or are free trade which definitionally they aren't.

One lecturer gave a single class on how the gut interacts and there were the references to how the HPA axis affect the brain but it all felt like the course was 20 years out af date

I have a degree in psychology and cognitive neuroscience and one thing that disappointed me was how our taught understanding was that the relavent part for us to study was the organ colloquially referred to as the brain down to the brain stem for which became an educational no-man's land.

Memories Are Not Only in the Brain Study shows kidney and nerve tissue cells learn and make memories in ways similar to neurons

Now where did I put that memory? Oh my, kidney and nerve tissue can form memory? #memory #cognition #nerve #brain stuff

When so many people in the continental realm are specialised in a similar vein to how analytics are.

Not a post bashing continental philosophers, I prefer them to analytics but so many times I'll meet a continental philosopher and they'll have gone by the same identical reading list, you can anticipate nearly every move. I stand up for continental philosophy being deeper than analytic but it's hard

I've studied philosophy for many years now and I haven't avoided the whole continental craze on "becoming", hell I've read my fair share of proust, ravaisson, heidegger, deleuze etc etc and yet I still don't quite get why so many continentals are so singlemindedly focused on it

"Evil resides in the very gaze which perceives evil all around itself. Evil is the good which believes itself to be completely good.”

- Hegel

Alternatively, given the seasonal migration of birds it could spread and a human-to-human clade could turn up elsewhere allowing wherever it turns up to be the scapegoat or there could be a complete denial of reality and it would just be used as a foreign policy weapon without clear reason or truth

to make for foreign policy hawkishness given the covid conspiracy theories surrounding the “lab leak.” Given that the most recent clade has mostly been in the USA for the last year, Trump could also suggest that the Biden administration engineered it for whatever purposes it would suit. (2/3)

Hard to know how the incoming trump administration is going to address the incoming H5N1 pandemic. In the 1990’s H5N1 first emerged in China, America’s geopolitical rival, it has since had lone cases there also, this would be a good case (1/3)

I don't think we have time to deal with another pandemic caused by a neuroinvasive virus. How do we prevent that?
