That has always been his reputation. He’ll tell you whatever you want to hear.

What Meadows was actually saying when he said he went along with the false electors scheme because he was afraid he'd get yelled at otherwise was, "I do whatever is expedient. I have no values, no morals, no ethics, no principles whatsoever." That is why he is a dangerous man.

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…

Polio in US, UK and Israel reveals rare risk of oral vaccine

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. My latest: cbc.ca/news/health/covid-rei…

You'll likely catch COVID-19 again and again. Will each round feel milder? | CBC News

It’s clear that reinfections from this coronavirus are the norm. Reassuringly, scientists say that for most healthy adults — including those with extra protection from vaccination — COVID-19 infect...

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?

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

Replying to @NateSilver538
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. nbcnews.com/meet-the-press/m…

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.

Can’t stop thinking about #polio. A few years ago, polio eradication seemed possible, even likely. In 2020, global vaccination campaigns slowed then largely halted because of #covid19. The U.S. has been a major funder of polio efforts through @who for 30+ years. What happens now?

Big WOW here: analysis of the impact of govt. social distancing efforts (SIPOs) in USA finds: "these results imply 10 times greater spread by April 27 without SIPOs (10 million cases) & >35 times greater spread w/out any of the four measures (35 million)" healthaffairs.org/doi/pdf/10…

We think A vs B - dichotomies. Open vs. closed isn't a true dichotomy. When closed many activities continue. When we re-open, new normal will be different. With care & creativity, we can open sooner & safer. We're in it together. It's us against them - humans against the virus.

The @CDCgov just posted their 1st weekly surveillance summary on #COVID19. This is a critical tool to help the country understand current trends. It shows more deaths increasing, but a suggestion that physical distancing is likely working. bit.ly/2UJig4t

Facebook, Twitter are blocking dangerous antivaccine posts. It’s about time l Opinion

Mainstream media, in the face of overwhelming scientific evidence supporting the safety of vaccines, realizes that there aren’t two sides to this story. Also, nothing educates like outbreaks.
