concerned about the state of the world because of two powerful men fighting? doomscrolling again?

Centaurus A. A glowing orange region shines at the upper left corner, with dark brown and black dust cascading diagonally down to the lower right. Distant stars dot the hazy background of space. Bright pink regions of star formation are interspersed throughout the dust. Angled from the upper left corner to the lower right corner is a cone-shaped orange-red cloud known as Herbig-Haro 49/50. This feature takes up about three-fourths of the length of this angle. The upper left end of this feature has a translucent, rounded end. The conical feature widens slightly from the rounded end at the upper right down to the lower right. Along the cone there are additional rounded edges, like edges of a wave, and intricate foamy-like details, as well as a clearer view of the black background of space. In the upper left, overlapping with the rounded end of Herbig-Haro 49/50, is a background spiral galaxy with a concentrated blue center that fades outward to blend with red spiral arms. The background of space is speckled with some white stars and smaller, more numerous, fainter white galaxies throughout. A massive spiral galaxy fills the image, with its bright yellow core seen near the upper left. Spiral arms whirl outward, laced through with dark brown dust and bright blue patches of star formation. The image is divided horizontally by an undulating line between a cloudscape forming a nebula along the bottom portion and a comparatively clear upper portion. Speckled across both portions is a starfield, showing innumerable stars of many sizes. The smallest of these are small, distant, and faint points of light. The largest of these appear larger, closer, brighter, and more fully resolved with 8-point diffraction spikes. The upper portion of the image is blueish, and has wispy translucent cloud-like streaks rising from the nebula below. The orangish cloudy formation in the bottom half varies in density and ranges from translucent to opaque. The stars vary in color, the majority of which, have a blue or orange hue. The cloud-like structure of the nebula contains ridges, peaks, and valleys – an appearance very similar to a mountain range. Three long diffraction spikes from the top right edge of the image suggest the presence of a large star just out of view.

Experimental evidence rules out mosquitoes as vectors of Lyme disease

Excellent study! The myth of mosquito transmission was based solely on a few reports of spirochete DNA in mosquitoes, but never evaluated transmission

Experimental evidence rules out mosquitoes as vectors of Lyme disease - Parasites & Vectors
Background Lyme disease, caused by Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (s.l.), is the most common vector-borne disease in the Northern Hemisphere, with Ixodes ticks as its primary vectors. However, many p...

Left untreated, Lyme disease can become extremely serious and lead to complications including cardiac issues, neurological disorders and mobility problems.

Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial. Patient stories can be found here: lymediseaseuk.com/category/pat...

As a person in love with a long term Lyme patient, this is groundbreaking. Her liver has always been the most effected organ in her body. It makes sense since the liver cleans the blood. The residue triggers an overactive immune response. flip.it/np3hgo
Lingering Bacterial Debris May Drive Post-Treatment Lyme Symptoms - Neuroscience News
New research suggests that lingering cell wall fragments from the Lyme disease bacterium, Borrelia burgdorferi, may be responsible for persistent symptoms long after antibiotic treatment.

Der Schaden durch Bürgergeld-Missbrauch beträgt etwa 260 Millionen Euro pro Jahr, der Schaden durch Steuerhinterziehung rund 200 Milliarden Euro – fast 800 Mal so viel.

Es wird Zeit, den wirklichen Kriminellen das Handwerk zu legen.
Neuer Bericht: Deutschlands wahre Sozialschmarotzer „nehmen Staat auf allen Ebenen aus“
Ein Bericht des Bundesrechnungshofs zeigt: Nicht beim Bürgergeld, sondern bei der Steuerhinterziehung gehen dem Staat die großen Summen verloren.
