The US CDC updated its data on deaths by vaccination status.
One key takeaway: the large relative reduction in death rates after full vaccination doesn't only apply to older people.
Here are weekly deaths among 12-17 years old, 18-29, 30-49, 50-64.

A Swedish engineer has created a suit that helps people with Parkinson's disease and stroke get rid of tremors using electrical stimulation.

Assuming she consented to having this photo taken, I hope she received help and was also paid for it. Also, we seriously need to unpack the way we’ve been socialized to glamorize the struggles of Africans and people living in other developing countries. It’s dehumanizing.

what are #NetZero targets?
why do they matter?
and why do vague targets lull the world in missing its climate goals?

Myths, misinformation and conspiracy theories about COVID are still spreading widely. Here are eight of the most common myths, why they're wrong, and why so many people believe and share them. https://t.co/2QcyVxA4qh

The @DeepMind protein folding result is really incredible, and incredibly important. But I know it’s pretty tricky to understand, so here’s a megathread, with a bit of Biology 101, for @holland_tom @thehistoryguy
et al.

Basically, cells transcribe DNA in their nucleus into mRNA using RNA polymerase. The mRNA goes into the cytoplasm and to the ribosomes where transfer RNA bring amino acids to the mRNA to build proteins. The COVID-19 vaccine hijacks this process with mRNA making the spike protein.

[Eugene Gu, MD @eugenegu]

Therefore, nobody risks getting the coronavirus from the vaccine because the artificially created messenger RNA is designed to invade and then to trick your own cells into producing the coronavirus’ spike protein. Immune system T-cells find this new protein you made and fight it.

[Eugene Gu, MD @eugenegu]

Pfizer’s coronavirus vaccine is made by artificially creating a messenger RNA sequence in the lab that instructs your own cells to put together the right amino acids in the right order to re-create the coronavirus’ spike protein. Your immune system learns to fight that protein.

Can you guess what happens when you provide homeless people with housing?

You reduce crime, increase employment, improve health, and do not increasing reliance on social benefits.

80% of costs are offset by the benefits in the first 18mos.

Incredible scene at Colorado’s Capitol right now. Thousands of protesters are lying face down with their hands behind their backs chanting “I can’t breathe.” They’re doing this for 9 mins. #copolitics #denverprotest #GeorgeFloyd
