Do not be surprised when the unthinkable terror comes — the oldest trick in the Hitlerian book. Be prepared to defend democracy.

Delays in awards and funding calls worry NIH-funded researchers Many programs may be pushed into the next fiscal year, and some could face funding gaps

Today's the day --30 days after the bill was signed. Will we start to see NIH FY26 funds flow?

Time for a Working Families Party that can win and govern us not the Epstein Class.

An announcement for a GUV HUB video titled "Let’s Talk GUV," featuring an interview between Dr. Donald Milton and Dr. Jelena Srebric. The graphic includes a February 2026 calendar icon, website and social media handles, and a photo of the two doctors in discussion below the title "Invisible Life of Germs with Dr. Jelena Srebric."

This week, the GUV Hub is showcasing the "Invisible Life of Germs with Dr. Jelena Srebric." This video explains the mysterious movement of germs in classrooms, offices, and other indoor spaces. @donmilton.bsky.social

Jobs with the highest cancer deaths in the U.S. | UW School of Public Health Researchers provide detailed look at how US cancer burden varies across hundreds of jobs and by sex.

A team of researchers from OSU and UW looked at cancer deaths among working-age adults in the U.S. The results, published in @thelancet.com, provide a valuable look into the variation and trends in cancer burden by occupation and research interventions. #PublicHealth @uwdeohs.bsky.social

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here.

The RCT Trap When “Gold Standard” Evidence Becomes an Excuse for Inaction

This is a must read for #publichealth #medsky and #infectionprevtion - the RCT trap led to major errors responding to COVID especially at WHO and CDC. We must do better next time.

Watching America Unravel in Minneapolis

We who value, peace and justice under law are the true conservatives. The radical right’s treasonous fascist chaos is destroying America.

The fact that Foege and other leaders of the WHO team that figured out how to eradicate the worst infectious disease in human history never received a Nobel Prize should forever be a stain on the Nobel committee. What accomplishment has benefited humanity more?

What will you say when your grandchildren ask what did you do when people were being shot down in the streets for exercising their constitutional rights?

New York Times headline says videos appear to contradict federal accounts of fatal shooting fee snippet of text below. The headline says “but videos emerged that appeared to directly contradict their [the federal official’s] account of the shooting.

Come on New York Times the videos clearly contradict federal accounts. Clicking through to the article gets to a headline that says as much. Why waffle on the front page of the website? #DontLookAway

On this sad day when my country officially left the WHO, I'm proud to say that several patriotic American health and infection control experts participated in a WHO Guideline Development Group meeting working on how to control the next influenza/coronavirus pandemic. #publichealth #WHO #MedSky

During my respirator fit test today, reading the 'rainbow passage' I felt like the ending needed some editing: "There is, according to legend, a boiling pot of gold at one end. People look, but no one ever finds it. " Donald J. Trump, however, believes that he will find it in Greenland.

Evaluating modes of influenza transmission (EMIT-2): Insights from lack of transmission in a controlled transmission trial with naturally infected donors Author summary Human-to-human influenza virus transmission under controlled conditions could provide insights leading to better control of epidemics and pandemics.

On the other hand air movement, circulation within a room, especially rapid air movement may be a very good thing.

Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"

I hear you. I live with a person at high risk. Dad and his wife (ages >100, >90) were visited by family thru-out 2020-23. Dad had about 80dB of hearing loss. It was hard enough communicating without masks. Lots of air filters and testing managed to keep them safe in their own home.

The big advantage of GUV is that it can work without masks and respirators. Of course layers are better. But sometimes even among people who accept masks, they are a huge hassle, like talking to a hearing impaired person.

Only one environmental control can significantly limit airborne spread of measles - germicidal UV (GUV). It works for other airborne infections too (TB, influenza, and COVID-19). Find out about it and what it can do for you at our new website. Thank you to Balvi.io for support to make this possible!

⭐We are excited to present the GUV Hub website!⭐

The GUV Hub is a reliable source for learning about Germicidal Ultraviolet (GUV) technology.

And it serves well as yet another distraction from the Epstein files and the Trump DOJ failure to release them as required by law.
