The Strongest Evidence Yet That an Animal Started the Pandemic @TheAtlantic I remain baffled why any other theory has credibility? The reason we began a coronavirus vaccine program was bc of SARS 2002 and MERS 2012 and realized crap a 3rd is coming theatlantic.com/science/arch…

It's clear you can catch #COVID again and again. What's more hazy is just how often you can get infected with SARS-CoV-2 — and whether future bouts of this virus will always feel milder than your first run-in.

Can anyone really argue that the West would have produced this level of organized response if Trump was in office and belittling allies, praising Putin, & denigrating international institutions-after extorting Zelensky and falsely claiming Ukraine interfered against him?
Dirt Cowboy begins selling “The Real Anthony Fauci” thedartmouth.com/article/202… It is indeed Mr. Guerra who is misinformed, badly so. Vaccines have saved more lives than any other medical intervention during the past century. This is an embarrassment to the Dartmouth community.

To carry out their lifesaving work, health workers across the world must have access to the resources they need. Digital payments do just that—by ensuring that those working to #EndPolio and other diseases are paid quickly and completely. nam10.safelinks.protection.o…
U.S. Is Said to Have Unexamined Intelligence to Pore Over on Virus Origins nytimes.com/2021/05/27/us/po… The 2 theories are not mutually exclusive. It makes complete sense that a virus isolated in the field (naturally occurring) could have escaped via a containment breach at the lab.

Defending @mtosterholm I’ve known Mike for 100 years, well 20, and we’ve talked weekly all year. His assessments are evidence-based, thoughtful, sincere. We agree on most things, like all scientists sometimes different perspectives, but he is as honest straightforward as they get
Check out, for example, this interview with Dr. Michael Osterholm on Meet The Press last week. It's relentlessly negative. He's spinning every fact in the most negative possible light. He's downplaying the effectives of vaccines. It all sounds terrifying.

Congratulations to Ben for this well-deserved recognition.
He has been the calm voice of science and reason that New Hampshire leaders and residents have turned to for facts, context and reassurance amid the fear and uncertainty of an unparalleled health and economic crisis. ...

If ever there was a need to demonstrate that testing is not a substitute for safety measures... No one thing will keep us safe from Covid. We can chip away at risk by Wearing a mask, Watching distance, Washing hands, reducing indoor crowding, testing and tracing strategically.
We are about to witness the most detailed experiment in history, the natural history of SARS2 infection of a 74 year old obese male who has been tested daily for NP carriage.
