"failing to even talk about the potential direct impacts of COVID and #longCOVID on iGAS rates? Entitlement and opinion-laundering are exactly how random ignorance like the 5-micron error ends up becoming accepted cargo-cult "science" in medical training."

And what the hell is up with failing to even talk about the potential direct impacts of COVID and #longCOVID on iGAS rates? Entitlement and opinion-laundering are exactly how random ignorance like the 5-micron error ends up becoming accepted cargo-cult "science" in medical training.

An image showing the header from this article: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2832049 along with a drawing of two MDs saying "The postpandemic resurgence of viral respiratory infections, which are known to predispose to iGAS, also likely contributed to increased disease incidence." (a quote from the paper) and pointing to a small collection of "viral respiratory infections" while ignoring the huge ongoing COVID pandemic behind them.

To the MAGA idiots that think countries should be run like businesses, ask how many businesses fail vs how many countries? Also, how many businesses did Trump run into the ground for his own profit? How much has Musk given to charities of any kind? Some logic!

This takes the cake. Trump admin officials file and affidavit stating Elon Musk is not involved in DOGE. How can anyone, MAGA or not, believe or support this kind of lying? I think a lot of people need a lecture on the end justifying the means as a slippery slope. www.msnbc.com/the-last-wor...

Funny how MAGAs get really worked up when these blind cuts hit near to their family or farms. No empathy for others in voting, but a lot of self concern when it hits close to home. Many still not worried about their fellow citizens. Incredible need to look in the mirror. And to think about others.

Please tell me this is a Saturday Night Live skit. Trump: "You talk about unlimited water coming from the pacific northwest, even coming up from parts of Canada. It pours down naturally and has for a million years. You will never run out, never have shortages, and you won't have things like this."

Publishing & academics are in too large part about money & prestige and too little about integrity. The pandemic has fueled a faster change in the wrong direction as many have sought to profit in money & prestige. I think it is not just academics either. The pendulum needs to swing back soon.

I will re-iterate for those up the back: Refuting BULLSHIT science is a long and laborious task. Obfuscation, arse-covering, Academic protection from large Universities... All of this to have a paper retracted. I was a signatory, but the credit is to @mark-ungrin.bsky.social. doggedly determined😇

I recently attended the New Horizons in Nanoelectrochemistry meeting put on by Faraday Discussions (fantastic meeting) in Nanjing where I was asked to give the final summary talk (summarize almost all the talks) and paper (just out - attached here for those interested). pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/A...

From Realonesknow87 @realonesknow87 on Twitter "Long COVID is a quiet reshaping of life itself, gradually taking away the things we once took for granted, with a cost we may only fully understand when it’s too late." Accurate viewpoint.

If we want people to be covid (and other disease) conscience, we need to work to get people to understand and act on it, and waste less time attacking people - and waste no time revisiting the past. My 2 cents.
