Genetic Data From Over 20,000 U.S. Children Misused for ‘Race Science’ www.nytimes.com/2026/01/24/u...

“It’s evil. It’s not just that the science is faulty, but it’s being used to advance an unethical agenda.”

I studied biobank policy for decades. Often chaotic. And lots of hype re benefits.

“Doctors won’t tell you this, but you don’t need medication for a tapeworm—all you need is the natural power of friction,” Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said as he dropped to the floor, lifted his legs high, and dragged his ass along the White House carpet during a press conference.

Eine AfD-Landesregierung wäre das endgültige Aus für Sachsen-Anhalts Hochschulen, Lehre und Forschung und alle damit verbundenen Stellen. Somit ist man nicht mehr wettbewerbsfähig.
Auch das sollte und muss klar im Vorfeld so deutlich benannt werden.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.
A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Austria loses its WHO status as measles-free, too, together with Armenia, Azerbaijan Uzbekistan and Spain. This comes as no surprise, considering the rise in numbers in recent years and the decline in MMR vaccine coverage

Well, well, well, if it isn't Maryanne Demasi yet again writing for RFK Jr's extreme anti-vaxx activist group, Children's Health Defense.

We know where this is heading

RFK Jr says, entirely falsely, that the HPV vaccine increases the risk of cervical cancer. This is a lie.

This year is the 20th anniversary of the initial approval of the HPV vaccine, and January is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month. Sadly, 2026 is going to be a year of disinformation about the HPV vaccine.

I truly hope this is an end to whatever that was. Exploiting research participants especially babies for an unethical study on vaccines should not be allowed anywhere. We know better and have a duty of care to do better.

📸 This new NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope image reveals the intricacies of the Helix Nebula in stunning detail! 🧬

@science.esa.int @stsci.edu
A closeup of a small section of the Helix Nebula, an expanding shell of gas and dust. Thousands of orange and gold comet-like pillars stream upward from the bottom, like thin liquid blown up a sheet of glass. These pillars are around the circumference of the arced shell, which forms a partial orange semi-circle at the bottom. The pillars are more numerous and denser at the bottom, and darker red. They fade to orange and then yellow in the arc. In the top two-thirds, they are thinner and more golden, and it’s easier to see the black background of space. Several bright blue stars, some with diffraction spikes, are scattered throughout. A few larger stars are on the right side.
