Given that we knew last year that this horrible disease was marching north towards the US,
I'm not sure I would have cut funding @USDA for animal disease control and prevention, including New World screwworm work, and pushed out staff with animal-disease expertise
And life expectancy was 32.
Personally I'm a fan of a world where kids survive childhood because of vaccines
Where people don't die of infections that you can't treat
And cool new mRNA based vaccines treat cancer so people can live long healthy lives
But that's me
This is the silent part that people wouldn't know.
Behind closed doors inside a medical conference, a large group of clinicians and researchers giving a standing ovation to another group of clinicians and researchers who found a way to increase survival in patients suffering from one of the, if not the, worst cancer in humans.
Metastatic pancreatic cancer.
They'll do this and then be on their way to see their patients the next day as if nothing happened.
And then work on something new to better what they did in this room.
That is how medical science works.
Value it and value its practitioners.
امروز در دادگاه فدرال آمريكا حضور پيدا كردم تا براى چهارمين بار با يكى از افرادى كه سپاه پاسداران براى كشتنم استخدام كرده بود، روبه رو شوم.
جاناتان لودهولت مجرم و به ١٠ سال زندان محكوم شد.
ريورا كه در دادگاه قبلى مجرم و به ۱۵ سال حبس محكوم شد، لودهولت كه یک شهروند آمريكايي بود را استخدام كرده بود.
هر دو زير دستور فرهاد شاكرى، عامل سپاه پاسداران، عمل
مى كردند.
رژيم ايران ١٠٠ هزار دلار برای كشتنم به آنها پيشنهاد داده بود.
در دادگاه و جلوى قاضى گفتم كه من يك روزنامه نگارم. تنها سلاحم صداى من است و كار من صداى مردم ايران بودن است.
اما جمهورى اسلامى حتى اينجا, در خاک آمريكا، سعى در كشتن مخالفانش دارد.
شاكرى هنوز در ايران پناه گرفته. هنوز آزاد است.
اين پرونده تمام نشده است.
تا وقتى رژیم ايران در قدرت است، هيچ يک از ما چه در داخل چه در خارج از ایران امنيت نخواهيم داشت.

Publishing zillions of papers isn't the flex everyone thinks it is
Above a certain publication frequency, hyperprolific authorship has a limited differential diagnosis:
🫤Repetitive articles ("salami publication")
🫤Putting your name to others' work (coauthor network)
🫤Fraud
According to Al Jazeera, the Iran deals includes unfreezing billions in Iranian funds, lifting U.S. blockade, pulling U.S. forces away, reopening strait of Hormuz though with tolls to Iran, and allowing Iran to keep its enriched uranium. This would be a total U.S. surrender.
Five months ago, world leaders signaled it was time for regime change. We trusted you. We held the line.
We stood empty-handed against military-grade weapons, believing the free world had our back. But instead of taking out the IRGC terror checkpoints and armed thugs, you retreated to the negotiation table.
Our youth did not bleed out in the streets for your political compromises. We didn't die for a deal and the Iranian people are not bargaining chips. The target was and always will be the regime itself.
Finish the Job!
Rashid Mazaheri is a former goalkeeper for the Iranian national football team. Missing since Feb for criticising Ali Khamenei during the January protests. Imagine a report that Joe Hart 🏴 was about to be executed for an Instagram post about the UK PM.
A High School was ROBBED of a State Championship
The Mallard Creek boys track and field team was disqualified for taunting because Ngannou Brown raised his hand before crossing the line to win the 4x400m relay.
THIS ISN’T TAUNTING OR UNSPORSTMANLIKE
After the 2022 protests against the Islamic regime and taking off their hijab in defiance, the regime started poisoning the schoolgirls in 100s of schools around the country through ventilation systems.
When we tell you they don’t care about children, that’s because we know of their atrocities.
“My father was a man who was never afraid to speak the truth. He loved us, he loved his home, and he loved Iran. He stood up for us with a great heart. He left this world so that courage could live on. And today, I proudly call his name. Baba, you will always be my hero.”
The final goodbye of a daughter to her father, Ali Asghar Shiri, murdered by the Islamic Republic.
This is the true price of freedom in Iran.
The part not conveyed in this interview is how the billions of USD given to Iran’s regime enabled the IRGC to expand its terrorist militias & lethal missile programme—the very missiles it is now using against the U.S. & allies. It also bolstered the IRGC’s repressive apparatus.
Six years ago, I called out European leaders for their hypocrisy toward the Islamic Republic. They literally banned me from the European Parliament. what have they achieved all these years?
Do you know how many people on European soil have been targeted by assassination plots? How many have been kidnapped? How many have been killed?
This year, at Copenhagen Democracy Summit I said it to their faces:
Because of your inaction, Europe is no longer a safe place. It is a hunting ground for dictators.
Watch my full speech.
SHAME: Today the Islamic Regime that beats, jails and tortures women for defending their human rights will help review UN Women's strategic plan on how to “end violence against women.”
All democracies that nominated Tehran must take the floor today and denounce the hypocrisy. 🧵
Mood in Iran right now
Depression
Normal life is strangled
Executions daily
Half a months salary to connect to very slow Internet if you even can
Eggs barely affordable. Meat is out of the question.
Regime thugs on every corner.
FREE IRAN ONCE AND FOR ALL
