A tiny trial in New York has shown that personalized mRNA vaccines can provoke massive, lasting immune responses against pancreatic cancer, even as sweeping federal cuts now threaten the fragile labs required to produce them.

WOW. @haleaziz.bsky.social with a new scoop: ICE now gets a running list of every person who is going to be taking a domestic flight inside the United States from the TSA and runs it through their database looking for targets. This explains the Babson College student's arrest.

“Unlike pretty much every other conservative party in the industrialized world,” American Republicans seem resigned to bleed out on health care, @jonathanbchait.bsky.social argues. Why can’t the GOP make peace with Obamacare?
Obamacare Changed the Politics of Health Care
It’s one thing for Republicans to deny hypothetical care. It’s another to take this tangible benefit away.

We're completely screwed if our response to measles is going to be asking antivaxxers - the most selfish and stupid people in our society - to voluntarily self-report and quarantine for 21 days each every time they get exposed
More than 250 people who were exposed to measles, including dozens of unvaccinated school-aged children, are quarantining in South Carolina as the state wrestles to contain an outbreak that has sickened more than 110 people.
Hundreds Quarantined in South Carolina as Measles Outbreak Shows No Sign of Slowing
The outbreak shows no signs of slowing, likely because of the affected area’s “lower-than-hoped-for vaccination coverage,” a state health official said.

True. I’ll note shackling on ICE flights began in 2012 under Obama. Yes, it’s worse now than ever, but it was cruel and wrong before, too. I didn’t know about it until May, trying to shine a light now so others won’t be an uninformed as I was. *If* Dems get back in power, I’ll continue til it stops.
Funny how these flights were done without shackles or "wraps" for decades.
