One of the aspects of emerging disease tracking is the question of the disease pyramid: what fraction of those with disease will be detected. Interesting work from Nigeria providing evidence for occult exposures https://t.co/TwlXNWAnLg

BREAKING: Republican Congressman Bryan Steil just acknowledged that there will be an additional process that all women will have to go through if they want to vote after changing their name due to marriage under the Save Act.

“It will look a lot like if an individual wanted to go and sell their car. If you have a different name than what was on your car, there is a simple, straightforward process for that.”

Undoubtedly this will lead to less women voting, and most women vote Democrat.

This is the real reason Republicans want to pass this law. They want to silence women.

🚨Governor DeSantis instituted a Civics Course for teachers where they are taught Western civilization, ancient Greece, ancient Rome, the Scottish enlightenment, and history of English literature.

Teachers get a $3000 bonus to take the course.

So far 21,000 have taken it.

We were on the cusp of having vaccines against the disease that causes Alzheimer's, against cancer, against the flu, and so much more.

Because this administration is so anti-science, we will have none of those things.

UPDATE—Father protests after ICE raid elementary bus stop.

"I've never protested before in my entire life," he says emotional.

"But then I watched 4th and 5th grade kids run away from their own government."

"I never want to see a child run away from our own government again."

The US is not the only country where science is under increasing pressure. See this article about the UK. Similar issues in the Netherlands where investing in research increasingly is directed towards “ innovation” ( read: private sector stimulating research).
