Have you heard the one about the fly that walked into a flower?
When a pollen-bearing fly enters the flower of an Aristilochia (like this A. samarensis), the journey is 1-way: Downward-pointing hairs prevent escape. The flower is in the female phase, so the stigma picks up the pollen from the fly.

Society needs diagnostics to prove (without a doubt) that vascular damage is being caused by COVID infection (not the vaccines).
This will help stabilize societal understanding re: vaccine benefit vs risk.

Seems there is yet another app using the ICEBlock logo and charging people for access. It’s called ICEBlocker and it is not us.

DO NOT DOWNLOAD or pay. Best we can tell is it’s Russian.

I'm sharing this because sharing an NYT story about this outweighs my dislike of the publication.

We have known for months because of data outside of Japan that this year's flu season was going to be bad but we have an HHS secretary that hates vaccination and so voila.
“New York City’s syndromic surveillance system, which collects information about every patient who visits an emergency room, reported 9,857 visits for “influenza-like illness” last week. That was higher than in the worst weeks of the 2017-18 or 2024-25 flu seasons, both ranked as “high severity”
