Trump and his American oligarchs are now openly aligning themselves with Putin and his Russian oligarchs.

This Putin-Trump alliance means abandoning our allies, supporting authoritarianism and undermining our democratic traditions.

this new administration is going to be waging war on the health agencies, And it's going to have a tremendously detrimental effect on the health sciences. All these are terrible signs that we need to be confronting vigorously

A sense of foreboding hangs over the National Institutes of Health
There's widespread confusion and fear among scientists and doctors on the sprawling National Institutes of Health campus and at institutions dependent on the agency's funding.

The CDC’s MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) did not come out last week.

The first time in generations.

Hasn’t come out today and I can almost assure you it will not.

Why? Trump wants it reviewed *by a political appointee*

Regardless of your view of that journal, that is censorship.

Banning US scientists from communicating with the WHO threatens humanity.

Banning communication about emerging health risks like disease outbreaks & food recalls threatens humanity.

It’s no surprise, then, that choroid plexus volume is enlarged in long COVID patients. This shows the severity of the neuroinflammation.2/3

Here we are, back to neuroimmunology. The choroid plexus, as a key component of the glymphatic system, acts as the “starting point” by generating the cerebrospinal fluid necessary for waste clearance.1/3

Long COVID is a serious public health problem, and the approach to addressing it should be bipartisan. My observations so far align with this perspective. Hoping for the best, always. 🙏🏻 (6/6)
