@irishpatriot91 @Seeing_Dbl This is an article from 2020 documenting Hantavirus transmission from person to person.
It can be contagious.
Don't spread misinformation.

@threestripesAFC @BiatchDulce The post says the US is 1st in military spending. The second list are things the US is 1# at.

I think its powerful men in general that Espstein targeted with his perversions, because it gave Espstein power over them. And powerful people tend to act in ways the average person would never get away with.
Money buys opportunities, even if its opportunity for using others.
I don't think its a political divide, men on both sides of politics are in the Espstein files.

This isn't new science, we have known endothelial injury has been part of the process for decades.
They teach that in med school.
That's 1 reason why controlling our blood pressure and diabetes is so important in preventing coronary artery disease.
There is a large body of evidence that shows that evelvated LDL, ApoB and triglycerides contribute to the occlusive coronary artery disease that causes heart attacks.

[Litani Looby @TaniLinton]

Exactly, its about minimising the risk factors. That's why we have different cholesterol (LDL, TG) targets for people prior to confirmed coronary artery disease vs those without.
Different populations have different risk profiles, eg those with hypertension have higher risk because of mechanical stress on the vessels.

Reposting because partway through this thread X stops me liking the OP but others comments can still be liked. Its suss.

FOX is recognizing Melania as “Patriot of the Year”, There is public info that points to the fact that Melania was groomed from a young age as a Red Sparrow. This is not hyperbole. In the late 80s she may have been training in East Germany, while Putin was working for the Stasi.

Remdesivir like any medication has its risks and benefits.

@Michael86612352 @hemhawes @drsimonegold If you are in respiratory distress an endotracheal tube might just save your life.
Its a risk vs benefit assessment everytime.

@megbasham @Softnessa_ The US war with Iran is screwing Aussie oil supply right now, unfortunately unilateral US decisions still impact other countries around the world.
The crazy stuff thats happening with the US is therefore on our news, so of course kids who listen to the news have impressions.

[Litani Looby @TaniLinton]

@dr_jon_l Exactly, doctors want to help their patients. Its insane to think cures wouldn't be used if they were available.
Doctors are inherently sceptical of drug companies that's why we have journal clubs and do systematic reviews of clinical trials.

[Litani Looby @TaniLinton]

I'm just not convinced conventional war will stop terrorism, the more the average citizen of Iran suffers the more extremism it breeds. The families who had their children die in the school the US bombed for instance are going to find it pretty hard to see the US bombs as a good thing.

Let me explain something to the MAGA crowd, because clearly someone needs to.

They seem to think NATO is cosmic room service. You pick up the phone, say “hello, we’re having a bit of a war here,” and thirty-one countries march to your rescue. A continental Uber for military adventures.

That is not how it works.
Article 5 is a mutual defense clause. The clue is in the word mutual. And it has been triggered exactly once in NATO’s entire history. After September 11. When America was attacked. Not Europe. America.

Every NATO member showed up. They went to Afghanistan. They fought. They bled. They died. In America’s war. On America’s behalf.

Now imagine they hadn’t.
Over 1,100 allied soldiers died in Afghanistan. British, Canadian, German, Danish, Polish. And yes, even Ukrainian soldiers, who had no NATO obligation whatsoever. Gone. Without them, those are American names on those graves. Sons from Ohio. Fathers from Georgia. Kids from Nebraska who never came home.

Then there is the money. NATO allies spent over 100 billion dollars on a war that started on American soil. Without that, Washington pays every cent. On top of the 2 to 3 trillion the war already cost.

And without allied bases across Europe and Central Asia, American supply lines collapse entirely. Without British forces in Helmand and Canadians in Kandahar, the Taliban reconstitutes in three years instead of ten. The gaps get filled one way. More American deployments. More American coffins arriving at Dover.

Afghanistan was bloody. But NATO took the hit. Without them, every single one of those casualties would have had an American name.

Trump called allies like these losers. Suckers.

If you are a certain kind of broken person, that probably makes sense to you. But for the rest of us, what those soldiers did has a different name. Honor. The bond between men who have been in the same dirt, under the same fire. Between Brits and Americans, Frenchmen and Norwegians, Canadians and Danes. Not a diplomatic relationship. A blood bond. Brotherhood forged in places most people will never see and cannot imagine.

In that culture, you do not mock a fallen ally. You do not sneer at the dead. It is the lowest thing a human being can do. Trump did it to a standing ovation.

If you are a MAGA supporter travelling to NATO countries, understand this. There are no friendly pats on the back waiting for you. No one will buy you a beer. The governments who share your worldview sit in Minsk, Moscow and Pyongyang. Brutal dictatorships where journalists disappear, elections are theatre and dissent is a medical condition treated in basements. Not London. Not Paris. Not Rome, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Berlin or Ottawa.

You have abandoned the open societies, the free press, the rule of law, the places where people actually want to live. You traded the best of civilization for a very small, very dark room. Frankly, it serves you right.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

@OMGTheMess Pig dicks?

[Litani Looby @TaniLinton]

So what, in the books Alice in Wonderland was 7 years old, the actress in the last film was 19yrs old and nobody complained about that. Artist interpretations and plot changes happen all the time when converting original texts to movies and shows.
Complaining about an actor's skin colour makes you look racist.

[Litani Looby @TaniLinton]

If the race of the character is integral to the story then cast it that way, otherwise it should be the actor that best embodies the character at audition. White characters are still over represented on screen compared to other ethnicities. The idea of white erasure is ridiculous.
