R to @Ayjchan: Shockingly, the illegal biolab had purchased pathogens from accredited & respected US labs that apparently hadn't vetted their clients thoroughly.
A bill to track the sale of dangerous pathogens was introduced last Oct but I've heard is unlikely to pass.

R to @Ayjchan: Without testing, it was impossible to "fully assess the potential risks.. posed to the community. It is possible that there were other highly dangerous pathogens.. in the coded vials or otherwise unlabeled."
Also impossible to know which other US communities are affected.

R to @Ayjchan: The head of the illegal biolab was a fugitive that had stolen US IP worth hundreds of millions, and claimed that his fraudulent activity would help “defeat the American aggressor and wild ambitious wolf!”
Jihadist in video says: “University time is the golden time to shape your ideology”. Queen Mary’s ISOC has been a problem for a long time. I cover this in my forthcoming book “The Capture of Academia: how universities abandoned truth, enforced ideology and endangered society”
R to @Ayjchan: The illegal biolab was discovered in Reedley CA in 2022. CDC refused to help local officials until a local Member of Congress was roped in. CDC refused to test samples despite labels including HIV, Tuberculosis, and the deadliest known form of Malaria.

Most biosecurity folks I've met are more worried about bioterror than accidental lab leaks. But here's an illegal biolab in the US run by an anti-🇺🇸 person receiving millions from China, US CDC refused to test samples labeled Ebola, HIV, etc. No idea what the lab intended to do.
Hepatitis C often shows no signs until serious damage is done. It can be treated, so testing is key to help you help reduce your risk.

BREAKING: Sam Altman and OpenAI are working on a deal between Anthropic and the US Pentagon, per WSJ.
This comes just hours after Anthropic rejected US Defense Secretary Hegseth's "final offer."
Anthropic continues to state that their platform should not be used for mass surveillance of Americans and autonomous weapons.
The US seeks unrestricted use.
„Es muss alle 2 Jahre eine Bestandsprüfung vollzogen werden. Dabei ist die Verträglichkeitsprüfung der Flora-Fauna-Habitatrichtlinie ausgeblieben. Das Gericht hat daher eine Förderung bis auf weiteres untersagt.“

Is there an epidemic of Autism, is it finally being recognized more by clinicians and treated…or are some fraudsters gaming the safety net system at the expense of taking resources away from those who really need them? The recent Data Dump @SamirUnni has discussed on @DRsLoungePod is raising some legit questions.
Another great essay by @adamcifu @Sensible__Med
Covid is a sticky subject because so many factual and policy issues remain unresolved and so many lessons remained to be learned.
For me, the most important is how easily too many Americans were deceived and frightened into throwing away our freedoms and turning against one another, following charlatans and demogogues making false promises of "safety." Our leaders failed miserably and betrayed America's ethos.
.@SecKennedy’s team has done hundreds of meetings with retailers to discuss how to use the MAHA political moment to push positive change.

This is one reason why so many people now feel unmoored. As Canadian science fiction writer Donald Kingsbury eloquently put it in his novel Courtship Rite, “Tradition is a set of solutions for which we have forgotten the problems. Throw away the solution and you get the problem back.”

Dr. Bowden is amazing, and I've been reading about the TMB's surreal persecution of her for ~a year. Therefore I was most interested in hearing the POV of the doctors of the Lounge on the situation. Every comment was very interesting and insightful, and I learned a lot.

"Warken will offenbar Freiwilligkeit der elektronischen Patientenakte aushebeln", vermeldet Norbert Häring.
https://norberthaering.de/news/warken-epa/
Hat irgendjemand etwas anderes erwartet?
Norbert Häring weiter: "Ersteinschätzung, Terminvermittlung und Facharztüberweisung sollen nach den Plänen der Gesundheitsministerin künftig über die elektronische Patientenakte (ePA) laufen. Das berichtet das Deutsche Ärzteblatt. Die Zeitung zitiert die Ministerin mit den Worten:
„Die ePA ist dann der zentrale Dreh- und Angelpunkt, über den alles läuft und wo man dann Einblick nehmen kann, wo jemand gelandet ist, ob es das Ersteinschätzungsverfahren schon gab und ob eine elektronische Überweisung vorliegt. Das soll einheitlich laufen.“
Das dürfte bedeuten, dass diejenigen, die der Einrichtung einer ePA widersprochen haben, nach Umsetzung dieser Pläne nur noch mit Einschränkungen und zusätzlichem Aufwand Zugang zu den benötigten ärztlichen Leistungen haben werden."
So you're telling me that when push comes to shove, after years of a 'strategic alliance,' the American base in Doha is packing up and moving to Israel because Qatar isn't really a partner in the effort to prevent a nuclear Iran? Who saw that coming?

Why is the chief of WHO now (very late) telling us that China was never transparent about COVID origin and WHO also suspect it was a lab leak. China’s institutional capture of multilateral institutions is damaging for the entire world and turning the US against these institutions
