At the Istituto Superiore di Sanità, researchers studied 77 untreated MS patients and found that EBV reactivation is linked to immune gene changes that drive inflammation, suggesting the virus may sustain disease activity beyond just triggering it.

Es gab einen großen Aufschrei, weil der Chef der Grünen Jugend Söder auf Instagram beleidigt hat. Die CSU fordert Konsequenzen. Alles so weit verständlich. Umgekehrt verstehe ich aber nicht, wie alle ignorieren können, was der Co-Landeschef der AfD BW auf offener Bühne im Wahlkampf gesagt hat.
"Ich meine Söder ist ja nicht nur körperlich behindert, auch manchmal geistig [...]. Aber wir lassen ihn leben, er ist ja immer mal wieder witzig."
- Emil Sänze, Co-Landeschef der AfD BW

Mehr Menschenverachtung passt kaum in zwei Sätze. Und was, wenn Söder nicht "immer mal wieder witzig" wäre?
