Super proud of what this kid was able to achieve in 2023 given all the shit he was put thru. He’s been knock down, let down and put down.

Thru all this he has remained respectful, resilient and above all, stayed positive when everything was stacked up again him. Much respect 💪🏿

Sports Integrity Australia have a lot to answer for. So far all our requests to have an open dialogue with them have been meet with silence. To say we are frustrated is an understatement.

Adding more insult to it all, the intersection that took Angus Collins now has a sign up telling riders to slow down.
Speed was not a factor in Collins' death. Nor was it a lack of attention.

This is some insane victim blaming but sadly par for the course.

A new bike lane just dropped. Here’s why some bike lanes suck, and why some are good.

Here's an animated map showing the spread of the XBF "Bythos" lineage around the world. The presumed origin was in West Bengal, India, back in August.

@EricTopol @CDCgov If it's valid to put this the other way around, it might be more convincing:

Those with 1 booster have a 14X higher risk of death compared to those with 2 boosters.

Those with no boosters have a 19X higher risk of death compared to those with 2 boosters.
