In our blood, and especially in our marrow, there are cells responsible for making new blood cells, including immune system cells: these are haemapoietic stem cells (HSC).
At birth, we have between 50,000 and 200,000 of these cells, which will be used throughout our lives to renew our blood, including immune system cells.
The problem is that they express ACE2, a target of #SARSCoV2.
If you read this publication, mainstream scientists assume that #COVID will only call on this pool of cells indirectly, via intermediate cells which, at some point, will not be sufficient to make new immune system cells.
But there's a problem: there's no way of measuring the number of HSCs we have left.
So scientists aren't publishing articles saying that this coronavirus is destroying our entire stock of HSCs. All we know is that it happens in a Petri dish.
I'm not a specialist, I've only worked especially with stem cells for 10 years as a technician and 10 more years with immune system modulation. But it scares me, how can we imagine that SARS-CoV-2 targets cells with ACE2, including HSCs, without destroying them?

Auto workers are demanding a 40% raise to match the 40% pay increase CEOs of the Detroit automakers got over the past 4 years.

CEOs are calling this absurd, but they couldn't be more wrong.

THIS IS A COMPROMISE. Why? Because worker's real wages have fallen 30% over the past 20 years. They're foregoing 16 years of wage theft for 4 of equity, and consistent equity going forward. That's basic justice.

Pay workers. Unionize workers. Tax billionaires. Save our economy.

I know we're all keyed into the indictment news, but... Also TODAY:

Brutal heat in Argentina (in WINTER)
Uprecedented heat in Japan
Most intense rain in 140 years in China
Iran shuts down for two days due to high temperatures
Record low sea ice in Antarctica for July
Highest ever recorded ocean temps in Florida
"Dangerous heat" in US Southwest

We're seeing the climate spin out of control.

"Christopher Nolan's #Oppenheimer explores the work of physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer & colleagues to create the atomic bomb.

Yet, the film fails to depict a key part of the story, using 2 female scientists as stand-ins for ALL of the women who contributed."

Hundreds of women were essential to the Manhattan Project, including Nobel Prize winning physicist Maria Goeppert Mayer. But they are largely absent in the #film.

"Why can't we just agree to disagree on politics?"

My dude.

- Agree to disagree was called pro-choice. You ended it and shoved authoritarian control of women's bodies down our throats.
- Agree to disagree was called LGBTQ inclusion. You banned it from schools, libraries, bathrooms, sports and the military.
- Agree to disagree was called Black Lives Matter. You mocked it and spat on it and threatened us with violence if we "try that in a small town".
- Agree to disagree was called Democracy. You traitors tried to kill it and install a military coup of your orange god emperor instead.

So no. Apparently, "we" CAN'T agree to disagree. And that's entirely your fault.

When my partner first told me the Oppenheimer movie didn't talk about this AT ALL, I immediately lost whatever little interest I had. Gross to make so much money off of them, yet not even mention the victims. 35 infants died the month after the test bomb alone.

Idk, call me a buzzkill or whatever but I don't think there's enough special effects in the world to make me feel less gross about this. I really thought part of the movie would be him facing the reality of what he created tbh.
