"If Covid damaged our immune systems, we would be seeing record outbreaks of other diseases." That was the argument in 2022. Three years later, we're having the worst resurgence of flu, tuberculosis, measles, and whooping cough in generations.
The U.S. is on track to have the worst whooping cough outbreak since 1948. Some regions are reporting that they are struggling to do contact tracing of cases because they are ALSO managing measles investigations.
And, of course, funding cuts to public health have resulted in fewer resources.

After 21 years at my dream job, I’m very sad to announce my early retirement from the National Institutes of Health. My life’s work has been to scientifically study how our food environment affects what we eat, and how what we eat affects our physiology.

Masking discourse is on again and I’ll just say if you see people masking when few others are it’s likely because they’ve determined that for them, in that setting, the benefit of not catching (or spreading) whatever’s going around is worth the cost of masking. It’s rarely more complicated than that

RFK Jr is cutting Alzheimer's research to the tune of $3.9 billion.
I can't state this more clearly. The fraction of the American population that is elderly and susceptible to dementia is large and growing fast. This is a critical population health crisis. It needs more attention, not less.

I see many claims that masks/filters don't work. This document will explain *how* they block viruses much smaller than the size of the holes in the filter and why you can still smell nasty things while wearing effective masks. 🧪🧵1/

A LOT of people think it's odd I still mask in 2024 in public indoor crowded spaces. One reason is because I actually read about what a typical 'mild' case of COVID actually does to you. But the main reason is so I don't accidentally spread it to someone who might face extreme adverse consequences.
