COVID reduced life expectancy especially in the elderly. The 1919 Influenza pandemic targeted young adults. Compare the size of the drop from the 2 pandemics to imagine what an H5N1 pandemic could look like.
We are sleep walking our way towards an H5N1 pandemic right now.

This didn't just happen. It was vaccines, antibiotics, pasteurization, management of chronic disease: hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disease. We are awash in chronic disease because we are obese, don't exercise, smoke, drink too much, and eat poorly. Recent dip is COVID.

We are far more healthy as a society than we have ever been because of vaccines, antibiotics, statins, and now GLP-1 drugs. Chronic disease can be dramatically reduced by: stopping smoking, losing weight, exercising, stop eating processed foods. All choices Americans can make.

Left out reducing alcohol intake. And, of course, addressing the opioid epidemic. Finally, addressing mental health disorders, specifically depression.

We are sleep walking into a lethal pandemic of potentially monstrous proportions affecting both food supply and human health with a possible head of HHS that will oppose vaccinations.

I sure hope the new administration has a plan to deal with H5N1. With 30% of herds infected in CA, this isn’t just a health imperative (as we see human cases and evidence of human to human transmission) - it’s a looming economic catastrophe due to impacts on our food supply…🤦🏽♂️

Vaccines have been EXTENSIVELY tested for safety, despite what you hear from RFK, Jr. 138 studies in young children are analyzed by the Cochrane Review and no evidence of a link with autism was found. They are the gold standard of medical evidence.

At a symposium covering some current basic science of vaccines. Been a while for me, but as someone who was an immunologist back in the day, I can assure you that the overwhelming majority of information and opinions on X about vaccines is either overly simplistic or wrong.

Truly a shocking sentence in a once respected popular scientific publication.
12 Nov 2024
Never forget that Scientific American (@sciam) somehow allowed this shockingly moronic sentence to slip past their editors in a piece aimed at shaming the recently deceased E.O. Wilson, one of the greatest biologists of the last century.
Totally unforgivable.

Even though Newton's laws are deterministic, the behavior of many interacting bodies is so chaotic that it looks essentially "random."
Statistical mechanics effectively says: why bother with all those complex trajectories? Just go ahead and replace them with truly random motion.

A wake up call for Democrats. Listen to the concerns of the people, not the academic elites.

This is a map of the shift to Trump in NYC.
The surge didn’t happen in places like the Upper West Side or Park Slope.
It happened in Washington Heights, the West Bronx, Flushing, Richmond Hill, Bensonhurst—working class communities of color. 1/2

According to this reliable source, the organizers of the attacks in Amsterdam were all Uber drivers, organizing using the @uber app. Aside from a lifetime ban from @uber (and please, @lyft driving), a corporate response from Uber should be mandatory.

It took 10 paragraphs for @nytimes to get to the lede. This should have been at the top of the story. This was a horific, apparently organized antisemitic attack on Jews in Amsterdam.

Do you want to know why no one does or should trust the traditional media?
Everyone on X is watching videos of Jews being hunted on the streets of Amsterdam. Watching a planned pogrom where perpetrators were armed and interrogating people looking for Jews to attack.
How does legacy media report it???

An Israeli who witnessed the Amsterdam attacks: "They waited in groups at every corner, and as soon as they recognized Jews - they started chasing them. Others waited near hotels and near the casino in larger groups, and there they also attacked fans. Then others drove by with cars and did not stop honking near hotels in which Israelis are staying."

Jews being brutally attacked on the streets of Amsterdam. Run down by terrorists in cars, lynched by mobs, stabbings. This kind of thing has not been seen on those streets since the 1930s.
Local heroic Jews coordinated by @Chabad are rescuing people from downtown and getting them to the airport or to safe places.

A pogrom is happening tonight in Amsterdam. Israelis are being chased and beaten in the streets in what appears to be planned and organized attacks. Israel is sending rescue agents in 2 planes. This is shocking.

Breaking: Two planes have left Ben Gurion Airport on their way to the Netherlands to rescue Jews facing a pogrom by Middle Eastern migrants.
