Look, if you are going to make an extraordinary claim in the face of the experts who anticipated that just such a virus would come from just such a region, who say they see no evidence of the use of the building blocks of engineered viruses, who see instead a host of completely novel viral tricks that would have to be developed independently and then combined...basically giving away all of your neat virus tricks at once...god, you just can't run a story like this and expect to be taken seriously

Want to Fix Public Health? Stop Thinking Like a Doctor.

Public health requires seeing the world from a collective perspective, but US agencies are still dominated by doctors trained to work on an individual level.

I am crying in frustration. GRC conferences are known for their notorious time commitment and that the whole point is to be a week away in “adult summer camp” however babies cannot be in the sessions. So either I leave my baby for a week and try to pump enough milk for that. Or I bring them and pay for a nanny for 12hrs each day because there is no daycare on site. What the fuck does a junior assistant professor with a baby supposed to do

The gas stove hubbub might have you thinking a new study came out that shocked scientists and regulators into action.

The truth is that decades of research have been finding the same thing: gas stoves can be quite bad for your health.

Gas stoves can harm your health — and scientists have known that for decades

While the fierce political debate over gas stoves may be new, the science behind it is not.

The virus is talking. We're not listening.

The coronavirus is speaking. It’s saying it’s not done with us.

The newest dominant strain of covid shows that it's a mistake to let down our guard.

Some good info on masks in this article but follow the CDC's Community Transmission map, not the misleading Community Levels map.

I know few people pay much attention to the “community levels” or use them to inform decisions. But the fact is that CDC is basically saying we will tolerate more COVID hospitalizations now before acting because we are testing less, which doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.

"Compared to the ancestral strain D614G, serum neutralizing titers against BQ and XBB subvariants were lower by 13-81-fold and 66-155-fold, respectively, far beyond what had been observed to date. A panel of monoclonal antibodies capable of neutralizing the original Omicron variant, including those with Emergency Use Authorization, were largely inactive against these new subvariants..."
