Measles prevention that really works without vaccines

Screenshot of a CIDRAP article titled “COVID vaccines not tied to risk of sudden death, study shows,” by Liz Szabo, MA, published today at 6:32 a.m. Includes an image of a person receiving a COVID-19 vaccine injection in the upper arm.

Data show COVID vaccines do not increase sudden death risk in young, healthy people, contrary to myths circulating widely on social media.

A Canadian study found healthy adolescents and young adults vaccinated against COVID were 43% less likely to experience sudden death than non-vaccinated people

Graphic with dark background and WHN (whn.global) branding at the top. Large headline text reads: “COVID is not over.” Below, smaller text states: “COVID-19 continues to spread, and each infection carries the risk of Long COVID, which can cause lasting organ damage, cognitive impairment, and chronic illness.” At the bottom: “World Health Network – Science for a safer, healthier world.”

Every COVID-19 infection carries a risk of Long COVID - affecting the brain, heart, lungs, and immune system in ways that can last months or longer.

Prevention still works.

- Masking: Wear a high-quality mask (N95 or better) to reduce spread
- Ventilation: Bring in fresh air and (...)

‘Science Under Siege’: Two Experts Sound the Alarm on Trump’s War on Science Acclaimed scientists Michael E. Mann and Peter Hotez on how the MAGA antiscience movement threatens the entire planet, from the climate to pandemics, and how we fight back.

Yes. The answer is yes. It's the same answer to "Is the tide in or out? YES!"

It’s #MythBustingMonday.
Today’s myth: “Multiple vaccines at once will overload a child’s immune system.”
This idea is popular with anti-vaccine groups and also POTUS. But immunology, decades of research, and real-world data all say the same thing: it’s false. 🧵

The image shows a social media exchange on X.com. @elonmusk (Elon Musk) posted 4 hours ago, criticizing Sky News for a "misleading headline" and a "false narrative," stating that Epstein tried to get him to visit his island but he refused, yet his name was mentioned before Prince Andrew, who did visit. The post includes a reply from @SkyNews (Sky News) from 1 day ago, stating "Elon Musk and Prince Andrew named in latest Epstein files release" with a link. The Musk post has 14.9K comments, 23.8K retweets, 173K likes, and 15.8M impressions.

Wait. So he knew about the island and refused to go, but didn’t say anything to anyone about what he knew was going on there?

Our medical establishment is failing to keep schools open.

Remember the story about the critters in the pot of water who don't jump out, don't act to save themselves, as the temperature is slowly increased from merely warm to a full boil? They end up waiting until it's too late and boiling to dearh. That's us. We're in the pot. It's getting warmer.

Stop what you're doing and listen to this warning from @marcelias.bsky.social about the real reason for Trump's National Guard deployment in DC.

Every activated Guardsman has a family, a job, school, or something that they are leaving to do their duty.

It’s one thing when it’s a war… or a real mass civil disturbance, which those only last a few days.

But to rip these people from their lives for a show… is awful.

This is a good argument for Tim getting personal counseling for paranoia, fear, and anxiety. It is NOT a good argument for federalizing the DC police force or deploying the National Guard.

Why is not Trump’s letter a federal crime- lying to Congress -given its false claims re DC crime?And why shd he be immune from suit for this when anyone else wd be prosecuted.

Class 12. Reflexive Control The Russian art of getting you to reach the decisions they want...without you even realizing it.

Addendum: It once again looks like President Trump is under Putin's reflexive control. If you want a good primer/explainer, read @asharangappa.bsky.social's.

Several thing could possibly cause it: weak right leg or loss of sensation in rt leg, causing him to deviate into the podium, an area of his visual field lost due to an undisclosed stroke, so he doesn't see objects in his right peripheral vision very well and can run into them are possibilities.

Here are the trends across all the International Traveller samples. From that perspective, XFG.* "Stratus" is higher at 50%.

This dataset (mostly arrivals in the US and Japan) is arguably more random, as it is not skewed by sequencing volumes.

Here's the latest variant picture with a global scope, to early July.

Growth of XFG.* "Stratus" has continued, and it is now dominant at 43%.

The NB.1.8.1 "Nimbus" is fairly flat at around 30%.

Schools get paid by the number of children in attendance each day. The fewer kids there, the less federal money they get.

This has nothing whatsoever to do with 'reliability or learning work ethic.' It's hardly ethical or a good work practice to spread contagious diseases to your coworkers and get them all sick, too. That's a rather stupid and dangerous thing to do, in fact.

HOW COOL IS THIS? Researchers have developed a DENTAL FLOSS that can DELIVER vaccines THROUGH the gums, a method that could one day offer a NEEDLE-FREE alternative for vaccination. This approach effectively stimulated immunity AND provided FULL protection against a lethal strain of influenza. 🧪🧵⬇️

Auschwitz had "processing" and "showers," too, Ron.

This is not normal. No part of this is normal. At all.
