It’s so wild that people who have had silicone injected into them are worried about having vaccines injected into them.

À propos....

That you can't trust freedom when it's not in your hands
When everybody's fightin' for their promised land and
I don't need your civil war
It feeds the rich, while it buries the poor
You're power-hungry, sellin' soldiers in a human grocery store

Among the many reasons we need competent PH officials: a listeria outbreak has killed 4.

Now officials think 2 additional ready-to-eat meals contain contaminated spinach, but are not related to the ongoing outbreak.

Translation: competing listeria outbreaks.

What to know about the listeria outbreak tied to precooked pasta
The outbreak has been linked to pasta from food supplier Nate's Fine Foods.

A proud moment for science and Seattle!

Was not aware of this conference.
Will try to plan for it next year.

🤣Soooo true!
Every ID exam is a reminder of how dangerous it is to live...
and how nerdy ID docs are.

"An ID fellow is writing the ID exam in Ohio. Next to him is an unvaccinated 🐻, a drooling 🐐 and a fishtank with Tilapia. The ventilation is 🌬️ air from Arizona. Who scored the highest on the exam?"

Women who were vaccinated against COVID during pregnancy had a 34% lower risk of severe preterm birth before 28 weeks; vaccination also was associated with a 9% lower risk of neonatal intensive care admission and a 17% lower risk of congenital anomalies. The findings speak "directly to the question that families fear the most -- does vaccination harm the baby?" Zargarzadeh noted during her presentation. "And the answer is clear and evidence-based. Clearly, no."

SNW1 variants are associated microcephaly, but mechanism for reduced brain volume was unclear.

Ji et al. employ Drosophila and human cerebral organoid models, revealing how SNW1 mutations disrupt RNA splicing, alter neurodevelopmental genes, & reduce the NSC pool:
