A figment of Twitter. And Mastodon. Yeah, Mastodon. You know the one.

'bizarre conspiracy'

What should be a higher priority for society, preventing pigs from becoming sick or preventing human illness? Personally, I place a higher value on preventing human illness. I think most would agree. Why, then, are pig barns much better ventilated than schools? 1/40

If regulators balk at recommending such a shot, they should at least approve it for use & let people choose. They’ve abandoned public health measures in the name of individual responsibility; the least they can do is allow us to choose a forward looking vaccine option. 10/10

[Ryan Hisner @LongDesertTrain]

Even as monstrous new variants like BA.2.3.20, BJ.1, BH.1, BP.1, & BA.2.75 sublineages emerge at a staggering frequency, there seems to be enough similarity between them in antigenically important locations to be useful in vaccine design. 2/10

[Ryan Hisner @LongDesertTrain]

Agree, several weeks' respite seems likely. Variant-chasing may be hopeless, but could mutation-chasing be possible? With so much convergent evolution in spike, esp. RBD, would it be possible to include mutations (346, 356, 444, 460, 486, 490) in anticipation of their rise? 1/10

@DecampDave That would depend on why one opposes arming Ukraine. Your faulty premise is that everyone shares your ethical/philosophical framework and/or the countries are identical in all/relevant aspects.

Is the NYC DOE enrolling people in Medicare Part C HMO plan without their consent? Is their clerical staff making this "mistake" suspiciously often? Anybody?

@zisseshop Very hinky. Videos of Autel Evo II, but product pic is something else. I wouldn't trust this.

@dremilyportermd One needn't be a doc to see how obviously abusive it is to allow children to play tackle football.

@1goodtern While filtering is the most staight-forward mitigation, this is a misleading statement. A filter reduces virus concentration. It is not foolproof and any virus can evade it.

This is fodder for denialists who cite anything not foolproof as worthless.

@hanalyst You are not alone. Among my circle of acquaintances, the only ones who have been infected have let their guard down.

Shouldn’t this be standard practice not exceptional and newsworthy?

@mr_jmburnside @LALegault Indeed, it is probability. With more jabs, less luck is required.

Please try to keep up.

[School Personnel Lost To Covid @LostToCovid]

TY for shoutout @l_maxwell. We are not @ Omicron levels, but I sadly don't share your belief deaths are "now scarce." There is still high level of school staff deaths & it is well-documented Covid is causing cardiac arrests, strokes, etc after "recovery."

Too difficult to update current buildings? Back in the 1850s Engineers raised all of central Chicago so they could install a city-wide sewage system to eliminate numerous epidemics of typhoid fever, dysentery, and cholera ( https://t.co/THfqGqwMUJ ). H/T: @lisa_iannattone 5/
