Promotional graphic for a Reddit AskScience AMA during World Breastfeeding Week. Against a dark background with rainbow prism lens flare, large white text reads, “WE ARE LACTATION RESEARCHERS: ASK US ANYTHING!” A teal speech bubble at the top says “FRIDAY!” and a purple speech bubble announces “12–5 PM EST.” A small note in the upper right says, “You can start posting questions at 7AM EST.” On the right there is a mashup of the Reddit mascot and the global sign for breastfeeding, with a globe where the baby’s head should be and a little heart over the breastfeeding alien’s chest. The subreddit r/AskScience is highlighted below the main title. In the lower left is the World Breastfeeding Week logo with the text, “In celebration of World Breastfeeding Week.” In the lower right, a blue text box reads, “A public Q&A session with human milk & breastfeeding researchers.”

I’ve seen way, WAY too many people talk about “recent government disclosures” as if this shit is real. It is very concerning how poor Americans’ critical thinking skills are right now.

REMINDER: Hantavirus is not new. The CDC has documented ~900 cases in the US since 1993, when tracking began. It is more common in the American West. If you see someone freaking out, they are not someone who knows much about zoonotic diseases, which are diseases spread between animals & humans. 🧪
