PubMed is essential for scientists and doctors to access the latest medical research. With PubMed down, we can’t search for the latest research and newest treatments for diabetes, cancer, infectious diseases, and more. This directly impacts patient care—everyone should be concerned.

I posted the following repeatedly following Nov 7th, 2024. I didn't do it to show what a 'clever boy' I was, nor someone who recognised the patterns of history but, principally, because I could see the bleeding obvious. 😑

Bracketed by a torn flag and the cracked Liberty bell, the following warning to the creators of, to the standard bearers of, America's intellectual rigor: NOW NOW is the time for ALL American SCIENCE, medical, EDUCATIONAL, environmental, HUMAN RIGHTS, arts, LEGAL and JOURNALISTIC entities, big & small, to SHIFT AS MUCH OF YOUR DATA OVERSEAS & air-gap it! In Jan '25, NO President will be inducted, the US will be ANOINTING it's first King - a venal, anti-intelligence ludite as King.

On the other hand, there is today something that parents can do to make sure that this sort of tragedy does not happen to a child of theirs. They can insist that their child is immunised against measles.

The measles had turned into measles encephalitis and there was nothing the doctors could do. That was in 1962, but even now, if a child with measles happens to develop the same deadly reaction from measles as Olivia did, there would still be nothing the doctors could do.

Must read 🧵: Roald Dahl on Measles: "Olivia, my eldest daughter, caught measles when she was seven years old. As the illness took its usual course I can remember reading to her often in bed and not feeling particularly alarmed about it.
