As a medicinal chemist, his logic is fine, just slightly misworded. Any modern drug has a huge dossier of mechanistic data for toxicological assessment, which is increasingly moving from animal testing to mechanistic models (the animal data is also used mechanistically)

I guess the crazy part about Woke 1 was also people not getting on planes with COVID

The way leftists, socialists & even comrades ripped off their mask the moment Fauci said "the vulnerable will fall by the wayside" was a huge shock I often say to my remaining comrades "everyone embraced eugenics the day Fauci said (...), they sided w/fascists outta convenience"

my most woke mutuals will be arguing genuinely great things but cant keep the word retarded out of their mouth to save their life. like ableism is simply not cared about anywhere at all. noone gives a fuck. i hate everyone.
Maybe I’m too woke but I miss 5 years ago when saying the word “retarded” was genuinely nasty and made people look at you like a monster

She's lived in the US since 2019 or something and has an American mum, she mostly highlights her Australianism to - ironically - make that US far right crowd look more diverse

Do you know how much PROPAGANDA it takes to convince a whole country of people that their military exists solely to keep them safe, and not to keep people around the world under their rule by destroying their homes and infrastructure while stealing their resources?
US soldiers set fire to a random family home in Vietnam.

Garbage study, even more inaccurate summary in this thread (probably AI slop I'm guessing) beautyscicomm.com/reduction-…

isn't it funny how being anti-cop & anti-ice is a universal statement but being anti-military is a taboo that will get you called a classist. isn't it interesting how we only judge systems of power when they harm americans but they are not that bad if they affect the global south

The concept of being “left behind” if you don’t use AI when in reality the AI bubble will burst eventually and the people who have had their brains smoothed out by AI are the ones who won’t know how to function in society anymore
“You’re going to get left behind if you don’t use AI.” Leave me then. Leave me with my critical thinking skills, my ability to read and write long-form, and books without needing AI summaries.

There's like a 25% citation error rate in science (the referenced source doesn't support the claim)

Btw COVID was proven to be airborne bc of THIS WOMAN’s research and the WHO had to completely revise decades of science, she is a HERO, EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW HER NAME!!! She will be remembered by history and in the future so much about our infrastructure will change bc of her.
It's widely accepted that hantavirus transmits from rodent excreta to humans via inhalation of aerosolized virus, so I don't understand why we're so reluctant to acknowledge the inhalation route for human-to-human transmission. nytimes.com/2026/05/14/healt…

1) Something very clear from this Hantavirus outbreak is that @WHO is still quite confused about airborne transmission Still confuse "close contact" (a setting) with a mechanism of transmission Do not understand that ease of transmission in close proximity ==> likely airborne

5) Frustrante ver cosas q SI necesitan recursos, y se hace muy poco En particular prepararnos para proxima pandemia: - mejorando ventilacion en escuelas, hospitales, comercios etc. - Instalando medidores de CO2 visibles y explicando - Enseniando a usar mascarillas FFP2 / N95

This is a nice lull and great news. As a reminder, in fall 2021 (post vaccine), Fauci said a reasonable level of covid circulating to remove precautions would be 10k cases/day. This is the first time we’ve fallen below 100k cases/day in the nearly 5 years since
April 24th Update: We are at the lowest transmission levels in almost 5 years, 40% lower than our recent spring lows. This remarkable lull should last 6+more weeks. Estimates: 🔸90,000 new infections/day 🔸~1 in 750 currently reasonably infectious (5 day window)

“gen alpha cough” is a hilarious observation and then you realize it’s bc they all have chronic coughs from getting sick with covid 3x a year at public school
