This is not surprising:

NIH cuts show women losing more funding than men - 57.9% vs 48.2%.

And it gets worse: early-career scientists are being hit hardest, with women leading 60% of terminated grants among PhDs and assistant professor.

So much hard work lost.

Have you heard about young people dying suddenly after COVID-19 vaccination?

Our new study in @PLOSMedicine shows there's absolutely nothing to that. If anything, the opposite is true.

🧵 Austrian physicans:

"We CAN’T take responsibility for the constant, unmitigated infection of the population w/ a vascular-damaging, neurotropic virus like SARS-CoV-2, in which a previous infection provides no long-term protection vs future infection.”

Goes without saying at this point…

Test before exiting isolation to know you are no longer infectious

(Do not listen to the @CDCgov on this - Unfortunately it’s been wrong for months.)

5 days does NOT mean you are not infectious

MOST people remain infectious at 5 days.

One of my kids tested (+) for COVID yesterday.

Got the email from the nurse he can rerun in 5 days…in a mask until day 10.

It’s INSANITY that we are knowingly sending kids back to school who are likely (+).

Test to return or stay home. 🤦🏻‍♀️

That’s how we stop the spread.
