Casting doubt on the safety of the MMR vaccine is a curious strategy in an election year with the most number of cases of measles in 35 years. It’s not just medical malpractice it’s also political malpractice.

[Prof Peter Hotez MD PhD DSc(hon) @PeterHotez]

The Hofstadter book looked at periods of anti-intellectualism in America, some of the years during Jacksonian Democracy between 1830-60, the KKK and anti-evolution in the 1920s, McCarthy era late 1940s to 50s. It’s safe to say we are in one of those periods. Today’s White House antivaccine anti-science EO = anti-intellectualism’s best representation

#AvoidReinfection

[Harry Spoelstra @HarrySpoelstra]

Each additional COVID reinfection measurably worsens symptoms and elevates resting heart rate in Long COVID and ME/CFS patients.

🚨Interesting Swiss study underscoring my ongoing #AvoidReinfection call!

➡️One of the first to apply causal AI to longitudinal reinfection data from a non-hospitalized LongC0VID/ME/CFS cohort.

➡️Manage your functional capacity (FUNCAP),
➡️Avoid reinfections and crashes(PEM),
➡️Or watch the damage accumulate!

Climate change appears to have crossed the no-return point, which implies that the civilizational collapse has crossed the no-return point.

[StormHQ ☈ @StormHQwx]

Eastern Pacific and Atlantic Basin Update:

We have three new areas of interest to watch in the eastern pacifc with the one closer to Hawaii has a chance to become another major storm with some of the models but that will depend on the track. The other two to the east has a low chance of development for now, but will likely be increased over the next few days.

Now over in the Atlantic in the MDR, we have an area of interest coming off Africa and will try to battle the very hostile environment as it moves in the general direction of the Lesser Antilles over the next several days.

[The Weather Network @weathernetwork]

A new study from the World Weather Attribution (WWA) found that human-induced climate change made wildfires in N.W.T. and Ontario about twice as likely to occur. https://t.co/V47nbog0Rj

Back in 2014 the Nobel Prize was awarded to the Mosers for their discovery of brain grid cells, our inner GPS system. This week, their navigation system work extended to discover the brain's searchlight.
The brain moves before the body towards an object of attention. Active during REM sleep.
Check out the video. Remarkable.
