Especially interesting but somehow lame in its conclusion: Twitter has spent years trying to combat health misinformation. Will Musk’s takeover make that harder? - https://www.statnews.com/2022/11/01/how-musks-twitter-takeover-could-impact-misinformation/

With instability at Twitter, Eric Topol is now doing short daily pandemic updates on his Ground Truths substack, with primary focus on vaccines and variants. - https://erictopol.substack.com/p/pandemic-daily-update-3-november

I'm not a huge Topol-Fan, but i find this to be an interesting option for updates.

This poem by queer disabled Ellen Samuels broke my heart:

"We learned to speak a new vocabulary, to understand

what it means to protect each other so we all survive. In my home now, in my lonely

bed, I'm still speaking those words to the silent house: My mask protects you.Your mask protects me."

"While elites take every covid precaution possible when they meet with each other at the World Economic Forum, they go home and tell us that covid is no longer a threat, and the pandemic is over."

What kills me about the #WEF, drivers and staff are required to wear masks at all times, so the rich assholes can enjoy their mask-less photo-ops. While the rich elite lives in fancy hotels, staff and drivers live in close quarters, prone to get infected. What an image.

"Important cells of the immune system like Macrophages and T cells are committing suicide in the lungs after SARS Cov 2. Even cells that were never infected were doing so. None of the uninfected controls had suicidal cells."

Suicidal cells. What an image.
