@voxscientisti @theliverdoc Read about “ idiosyncratic toxicity”. Arsenic (found in himalaya ) has idiosyncratic toxicity. In other words, your argument is like “I smoked 20 years ago and did not get cancer. So smoking does not cause cancer”:)

[Libin Abraham @drlibinabraham]

@RajeevJayadevan @shinsmon Ever considered the rise of immune escape variants, rather than assuming unvaccinated have natural protection over time? In other words,, the tall one losing a part of his leg and becoming shorter, rather than building “imaginary heels” only to shorter person? :)

[Libin Abraham @drlibinabraham]

@shinsmon @RajeevJayadevan Exactly! The heel analogy doesn’t make any sense to me. Authors found that “rates of covid-19 related hospital admission and death were substantially lower among vaccinated than unvaccinated adults”. This suggests that “heel” in unvax (natural immunity?) is not very useful :)

[Libin Abraham @drlibinabraham]

@RajeevJayadevan Mr. Jayadevan. True. But vast majority of uninfected (unvaccinated) also have pre-existing T cell cross protection from other common corona viruses that skew vaccine effectiveness (based on the same narrative you are proposing :) https://t.co/sKS3BlmQYH. https://t.co/RDTNSp0p33

#Asthma rates are falling, says a study by @TurveyLab, published in @LancetRespirMed. Being prescribed #antibiotics in the 1st year of life is associated with almost double the risk of being diagnosed with asthma by age 5. https://t.co/6FLcK9aenV @BCChildrensHosp @UBCmedicine

I know nothing about activated b-cells and actin, but @drlibinabraham and @MikeGoldVan sure as heck do. This is old data from June 2017 using @OlympusLifeSci FV3000 resonant scanner. Thanks to Libin for sample prep, great chats, and guidance on cool biology #microscopyTBT

@DanCoombsUBC Ha ha. that 1 was me :) i thought you need volunteers/controls for testing.

BREAKING: A breakthrough in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma gets one step closer to breaking down cancer cells. Discovered by @BCCancer Drs. Healy, Steidl & Scott, this finding is a leap forward in #immunotherapy research in #BC. READ: https://t.co/tRCPQPzESz 🧬🧫 #BCNews

Looking forward to my new project--supporting first-gen students with mentoring as well as funding for activities that will promote personal/career goals. If you have experience mentoring first-gen students or thoughts about what would have helped you, let's talk!
