Cool. Go Fund Me funded my dog’s surgery last year, and I’ve met many wonderful acquaintances. The covid conscious group on X which I left for reasons of fascism was wonderful.

If this reduces barriers for pregnant women to get vaccinated, it would be a very welcome development. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Thanks for doing this, @carlzimmer.com. Those on the front lines of scientific research trying to better the world need the voices of exceptional journalists/authors like you to underscore the deep costs of attacks on basic and translational science, and engineering. Deep appreciation.

“Here’s the evidence that Tylenol causes autism, Antifa is an organization, Portland is a war zone, the shutdown is about free healthcare for illegals, the Epstein files are a hoax, and this is the most elaborate and detailed cartoon ever drawn.”

A blank piece of paper. (In other words, there is no evidence of any of the accusations listed above.)
