Having never been a high-ranking academic I am entirely speculating here... but it feels very much like the only way research for an illness to get funding is for that illness to affect someone close to the funding.
Are some of those billionaires who are secretly disabled from #longCovid going to start dropping their loose millions on #meCFS and #fibromyalgia research?
The longer we "let 'er rip", the quicker we'll find out, I guess.
#Strep, #bacterial & #fungal infections are all on the rise, along with our beloved and protected viruses such as #covid, #rsv, #flu, #measles and as a side effect/bonus, #pneumonia. Our society is hard at work ensuring we get sicker and sicker, over and over again, allowing these bugs to thrive and - eventually - dominate.
This behaviour strikes me as... curious.
I will have no part of it. I will protect myself and those around me by extracting myself from risky public situations, and using a high-quality #respirator like an #n95 anytime I am around other people. No bugs in, no bugs out.
One month into 2024, New Brunswick is already halfway to last year's total number of deaths from severe Group A strep infections, according to the province's acting chief medical officer of health.
About 20 years ago I was convinced enough that our societal trend of ignoring scientific and medical advice en mass (read: #JennyMcArthy /#AndrewWakefield / #climateCrisis) would inevitably lead to the resurgence of preventable disease, such as #TB.
I wrote Tom Brokaw Part I and Tom Brokaw Part II to explore these thoughts.
Where as in TBP I the orator can't seem to shake his "sentimental" cough, TBP II finds him perishing in a Tuberculosis wing of a hospital, as friends and family all come to visit unmasked.

Ok this caught me off guard...
I was having an internet search for "adult tinker toys" and came across this online shop. Ah! Pro tinker toys. Cool. I look around, and it's not what I want - mostly memorabilia.
And then there's the **FAKE MASKS** section.
Ummm, what? This is something people are doing? They're PAYING for a pretend mask?
Just... what?
