A reminder that Republicans want you to believe that Covid came from a Chinese laboratory but also it was totally harmless, less deadly than the flu, and didn’t require any protections.
@bstarrreports@Acosta This whole administration is a cash grab. I’m guessing the wellness grifters selling testosterone supplements are giving Pete a cut
In April, Pete Hegseth ended the flu vaccine mandate for the military, citing “medical freedom”. Now over 200 ppl are sick with the flu at Lackland Air Force Base. Pete fucked around and found out that the flu doesn’t care about your medical freedom

No child deaths have been definitively linked to Covid vaccines, according to a report from the FDA that was quietly made public. https://t.co/N99uOgFTQ9
In a leaked memo within @CDCgov, Dr. Vinay Prasad writes that the COVID shot KILLED young, healthy American children who faced virtually no risk from COVID-19.
Our federal health agencies were aware that their safety surveillance systems were masking serious adverse events, including sudden cardiac death.
I appreciate @SecKennedy’s commitment to radical transparency and his willingness to cooperate with my investigation.
“One of the most striking shifts since the Covid pandemic is how rapidly #misinformation narratives now organize themselves around emerging outbreaks,” @DrKatEpi, an epidemiologist at @uicpublichealth, told @WIRED.
“Within hours of the first hantavirus headlines, social media accounts were already promoting #ivermectin, attributing the outbreak to Covid vaccines, and warning about a #hantavirus vaccine that does not exist." https://t.co/Hucox3qhGb
🚨 The @AfricaCDC statement on the new #Ebola outbreak in #DRC is deeply concerning.
🔬 This is a non-Zaire ebolavirus outbreak
🧪 13 of 20 samples tested positive
⚠️ 246 suspected cases reported
🕊️ 65 deaths, including 4 laboratory workers
This highlights the urgent need for enhanced surveillance, rapid diagnostics, infection prevention and control, and protection of frontline healthcare and laboratory personnel.
From medieval plague ships to the recent hantavirus outbreak aboard the MV Hondius, maritime travel has repeatedly exposed the challenges of controlling infectious disease in an interconnected world. My latest:

My latest for @statnews -Within hours of hantavirus headlines, there were already posts about ivermectin, claims the outbreak was caused by Covid vaccines, & antivax warnings to avoid a vaccine that does not exist. https://t.co/UlZA51Ikaw
@DrNeilStone LOL, of all RNA viruses I can think of only influenza has any business in the nucleus. Most of the other ones - including hantaviruses - replicate in the cytoplasm. I recommend Fields Virology to Mary. It is helpful to understand the basics.
