LOL, as a neuroscientist I love that the word of the year is 'Brain rot', but we should have saved it for 2025. With Trump destroying infectious diseases research and #H5N1 holding hands with #SarsCoV2 to infect the brain, what will be next year's metaphor? Brain fog? Or direct to 'Brain damage'?

Mainstream media will not report on this peer-reviewed study that shows being vaccinated against covid is no guarantee that covid will not infect your skull and your brain and your nervous system membrane for years www.cell.com/cell-host-mi...

Another serious reminder that #LongCovid is a major health condition especially for people of younger ages.
New research shows younger and middle-aged adults have worse long COVID symptoms than older adults
New study from Northwestern Medicine finds symptoms occurred regardless of mild or severe COVID-19 infection

Antivaccine activism is also slowing down #H5N1 vaccine research & production. How will we handle a pandemic with a virus that can cause neurological symptoms without respiratory ones? We need vaccines now.

Disabled people have been right about almost everything that’s happened over the last five years.

People don’t listen to us because they don’t think of us as real people. We’re invisible (at best) and completely disposable (at worse).

We are the canaries - and we are trying to warn you. Listen.

Reminding you that there is no mRNA vaccine available yet for #H5N1. The H5N1 vaccine uses an inactivated platform, still being developed in eggs. What that means? For the U.S. alone, it will take hens laying 900,000 eggs every single day for nine months. That's if the hens don't get...bird flu.

The sequence of the hospitalized B.C teen with H5N1 influenza virus has been released and it is troubling.
Both of these mutation sites are recognized to affect α2,6 binding, which is necessary for human-to-human transmission..
Excellent summary thread here by @scottehensley.bsky.social. To add a few more important notes, the sequence (GISAID EPI_ISL_19548836) is ambiguous at *both* site Q226 (as Scott mentions above) and site E190 (H3 numbering)

Both these sites play an important role in sialic acid binding specificity

Hi friends!

I just wanted to give a quick update on The Onion’s purchase of InfoWars, which we can’t wait to relaunch as the dumbest website on the internet.

The long and short of it: We won the auction and — you're not going to believe this — the previous InfoWars folks aren't taking it well.

Just reminding you, if you think #COVID was bad, that's because you never imagined a pandemic with a virus that is AIR- and FOOD-borne at the same time, like #H5N1.

Some liberals are now waking up to the fact we're still in a pandemic & another H5 flu pandemic could be on the horizon. Only now that Trump has won.

And let me tell you, they are *surprised*

#MicroscopyMonday is very much alive here and I'm loving it! My take for this week is Neuroinflammation! Under a microscope literally looks like the brain is on fire! 🔥🔬 Instead of gently touching the neurons, microglia changes shape, gets activated and start attacking them. How do we control this?
