America could wake up on Wednesday with all three branches of our government — the — Executive, Legislative, and Judicial — Trumpist.

With this clip, take five minutes to ponder Germany’s memorials and the price that nation paid for being bamboozled by a bombastic autocrat. Listen to the heartfelt message of my German tour guides, for whom these memorials are like ghosts of mistakes made and evils allowed… ghosts that haunt their society still. These are the same guides who clink glasses in the beer halls and yodel from the hilltops with our American tour members. They admire America. They love America. And they are worried for America.

If we vote for fascism, it’ll likely be won by one or two percent (or even less)…and perhaps just a few stadiums of people will tip the balance. And history has taught my European friends that the cost of a course correction is infinitely more heartbreaking after a wannabe dictator wins an election than before. We are all participants, we are all responsible, and we will all bear the consequences of our collective choice.

Vote on the issues most important to you

But I teach on the history of medicine and public health, and I know for absolute certain that letting RFK Jr “go wild on health” would mean a lot of people will get very sick. People will die. All unnecessarily.

@michaelmina_lab @Kay17591004 Can you talk more about effects of the RSV vaccine for seniors and maybe speak to the longer duration of immunity/protection/reduced ill effects from RSV infection after vaccination?

@bsw5020 Happy birthday Brian! May your day be filled with joy and good blessings! 🎉🥳

If everyone was aware of how many flood disasters are ravaging the planet lately, people would have a much better awareness and understanding of the climate challenge humanity faces. This is just the beginning.
The below thread compiles many of them.

Your reminder that Project 2025 would break up the agency that runs the National Hurricane Center. See p. 674

You have to vote for Harris and Walz, though, or this will go away.

@docrota Is this a concern for myositis patients getting IVIG?

The craziest thing about this is that these 400 million people with #LongCovid still contribute to the global blood supply.

In a paper from the Dr. Akiko Iwasaki lab at Yale they wrote "the use of blood products ...from people with LC in treatment settings requires careful consideration, as they may pose pathologic risks to the recipients".

This should give us all pause.

A causal link between autoantibodies and neurological symptoms in long COVID (pre-print, 2024)

A must-watch sermon from Texas Congressman @jamestalarico.

Send this to every Christian you know.

My daughter's Y3 teacher is the absolute GOAT. She single-handedly crocheted a mini-me of each kid in her class as an end of year gift. Approx. 8hrs per doll. Even the hairstyles and clothes are spot on. What a legend.
