The 2024 State of the Climate report, written by top climate scientists, begins: "We are on the brink of an irreversible climate disaster. This is a global emergency beyond any doubt. Much of the very fabric of life on Earth is imperiled." Clear enough? academic.oup.com/bioscience/adv…

When we started AWS, we looked at the undesirable situation of developers spending 70% of their time on the undifferentiated muck of managing infrastructure (vs only 30% on what differentiated their customer experiences) and aimed to flip that equation on its head. It’s made a…

My guess is we end up defining intelligence like we ended up defining arithmetic ability.. something that humans can do but machines can do better. AI becomes like forklifts, augmenting one human to do the work of many. Just as the stout working man of the 19th century gave…

If everyone wore a well-fitted respirator, the pandemic would be over in a few weeks. That's as controversial as saying a cholera epidemic can be ended by boiling/filtering all drinking water. No, there is no RCT for either of those claims—nor should there be. #COVIDisAirborne

With respect, Dr Jha, it took us a while to discern long term effects of measles. Remember that for effective public health comms, we have to embrace uncertainty. Your messaging will further damage trust, esp w new data showing there is indeed Covid-induced immune dysregulation.

There's a lot of bad information out there about how covid damages the immune system It really doesn’t But you know what does? Measles And thanks to the antivaxers We are seeing measles outbreaks again Encourage people to get their kids vaccinated It’s really important

You sometimes lose hope in humanity, but then you meet people like those from Cleairwin. When I first met the founder, I asked him why he wanted to bring Flo Mask to Japan. It was simple, he said I just want to help people. I love it when our missions are aligned. Below is proof…

Furthermore, JN.1 shows a robust resistance to monovalent XBB.1.5 vaccine sera🔥 These suggest that JN.1 is one of the most immune-evading variants to date. S:L455S can contributes to increased immune evasion, which partly explains the increased Re of JN.1. 7/7

"As we get closer and closer to superintelligence, everybody involved gets more stressed and more anxious and we realized the stakes are higher and higher" We are further ahead than you think, this should be obvious by now.

BREAKING🔔 A new study from G2P-Japan🇯🇵 is out! The preprint will be out so soon, but first we show our results on BA.2.86 - transmissibility, infectivity and immune resistance. This would be the 4th non-peer-reviewed🗒, but includes some new stuff. Please retweet/repost🔥 1/


Patrick Halstead reposted

Just to check we are all on the same page on neutralization and immune evasion - as the question is not if but why BA.2.86 is spreading, If it's not due to immune evasion, that's the less preferred scenario.

Two things 1) Area under the curve matters and represents many who died preventable deaths in Sweden who didn't die in Canada, Japan or Australia in the same time-frame 2) Why are excess deaths still happening at all, 3.5 years out? That's the big question no one is asking.
