@PitkeathlyScott @DrNeilStone Why don't you show the data that supports your claim. You can't because it's BS.

What I don’t understand about @SenRonJohnson’s culture is why they so confidently speak on things they clearly don’t have the academic preparedness to discuss. It’s really remarkable

Congratulations to your nephew!

3.5% of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis) have autoantibodies against the anti-inflammatory cytokine, IL-10.

This is a stunning discovery that shows just how heterogeneous IBD is — and highlights the need for personalized therapy.

Promising clinical data on gait, tremors, and possible neuroprotection — with strong safety signals so far.

Always consult your neurologist before trying any device. Don’t self-experiment.

@caseymurph1 @HumphreyKart True, it probably came from Mexico. The US closed/suspended live cattle imports from Mexico multiple times to slow the spread to the US.

Soccer would not exist without immigrants. Immigrants play and coach the game, work in the stadiums, fill the stands, and make celebrations like the World Cup possible. Six of the players on the US Men's National Team are immigrants.

We will not allow ICE or anyone else to sow fear in our communities — especially at this moment. As the world comes to our city, we will stand proudly with our immigrant neighbors and reject these attacks for what they are: an attempt to divide us.

A cancer vaccine, using the same core mRNA technology as the COVID vaccine, has shown an almost 50% reduction in the risk of melanoma recurrence or death when combined with immunotherapy.

This is why we fund MRNA technology.

What I love about this news is that this is not simply a new pancreatic cancer drug. It’s that KRAS, one of cancer biology’s most notorious undruggable targets, has finally become druggable.

A powerful reminder that persistence in science can eventually unlock the impossible.

NO cervical cancer cases detected in vaccinated women following HPV immunisation!

None! Zero!

What a stunning achievement !

The HPV vaccine ie a modern medical miracle!

Today, I signed an Executive Order temporarily repealing bedtimes in the City of New York so that kids of all ages can watch our team in the NBA Finals.

As Mayor, you’re forced to make many difficult decisions. This was not one of them.

Go Knicks.

This is not simply a new pancreatic cancer drug.

It is a reminder that even “undruggable” biology can become treatable with persistence.

Daraxonrasib doubled median OS vs chemotherapy in RAS G12 metastatic pancreatic cancer: 13.2 vs 6.6 months.
A remarkable ASCO moment.

[Samuel Hume @DrSamuelBHume]

One of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen: a standing ovation for the full Daraxonrasib results

I feel inspired and energised, to put it mildly — we have a targeted therapy for pancreatic cancer now, and nothing is undruggable anymore

The chuds were wrong about mRNA.

It's magic.

From Grok:
A Congolese national (from the Democratic Republic of Congo) boarded in Paris "in error," violating new U.S. entry restrictions tied to the ongoing Ebola outbreak in parts of central Africa. The U.S. had imposed restrictions on travelers from Congo, Uganda, and South Sudan

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) denied the flight entry into U.S. airspace. The plane was diverted to Montreal Trudeau International Airport, where it landed around 5:15 p.m. ET.

The passenger was removed in Montreal. The rest of the passengers (on the same aircraft) were screened and continued to Detroit later that evening.

This is absolutely brilliant! 🤣😂

@ericalova @DrJesseMorse And, there are absolutely no in vitro studies of it's effect in vitro for Hantavirus

@drterrysimpson HPV:
90% of Anal cancers
70% of Oropharyngeal cancers, 80% are men
40-63% of Penile cancers
HPV vaccination can prevent all of these, young men should be vaccinated too.
