It's very characteristic of his own conspiracist thinking for him to imply that there's some kind of line from "Ben Collins exits the misinfo beat" and "toxic online person shoots Charlie Kirk"

It looks like they just took the CDC fifteen minute contact definition and multiplied it by the filtration percentages and called it a day. This is not something responsible journalists or scientists should be repeating credulously

My @Twitter replies are being deboosted. For example, often hidden under โ€œShow additional replies, including those that may contain offensive content.โ€ So Iโ€™m going to RT some of my own replies and ask for the help of people following me to help counter the Twitter deboosting.

IOC complicit in covering up an abduction.

3 takeaways from the recently released EcoHealth grant proposals & reports: 1. By March 2018, they had a roadmap for detecting & inserting novel rare (furin) cleavage sites into novel low risk SARS-like viruses. 2. By 2019, chimeric human pathogen MERS-CoV research was ongoing.

Support Operation Recovery. I know of U.S. citizens who are trapped in Afghanistan. Our government is abandoning them. This is their last best hope. operationrecovery.org

Here is a great hot take for you, by @vinkeith, a true American hero. A friend, neighbor & countryman you can count on in a time of need. Not abandoned? I have passports of American citizens in need of help in my inbox. State stopped communicating with them 18 hours ago.

They should have heeded state department warnings months ago. Why they waited until it turned into a shit show is inexplicable! Our government is not abandoning those people, their lack or urgency to find a way out is why they are in the situation they are in.

1. The overall conclusion here (declining effectiveness vs. infection, robust effectiveness vs. serious illness) seems plausible. But this is a perfect example of a study that's potentially confounded by the failure/inability to account for previous infection.

โ€œBasically, they just put all those Afghans on a kill list,โ€ said one defense official, who like others spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive topic. โ€œItโ€™s just appalling and shocking and makes you feel unclean.โ€ W/ @AndrewDesiderio @alexbward

These will be classified as the Americans "Who Didn't Want to Leave."

#Afghanistan: Due to threats outside the Kabul airport, US citizens should avoid traveling to the airport and avoid airport gates unless you receive instructions to do so. Those at the Abbey Gate, East Gate, or North Gate now should leave immediately. ow.ly/chJu50FYgpW

The administration is fuming at this - and has thrown out claims that military resources were diverted and spaces on planes taken - but it is pretty clear that isn't true; they're just embarrassed. And military people clearly facilitated the trip
