I&#39;m at Stanford this fall with a group of researchers that I admire tremendously and cherish as colleagues. But Stanford, Johns Hopkins and now Emory are boosting COVID conspiracy theories and misinformation by hosting these gatherings, even if the organizers did back them into a corner. <a href="https://www.thenation.com/article/society/stanford-covid-symposium-misinformation/">https://www.thenation.com/article/society/stanford-covid-symposium-misinformation/</a> 2024-10-04T12:37:13Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsdmdqldqmrg0edfx69nah02znk84ca0vshfuxpfdvja74tfzwt34gzyz7uqnzkux84qd0zv4rmezq08lfhp5zxe2q0d3rf8pge570v0uzxwpnarfm Oh my god, this op-ed by Mark Seidner and Rochelle Walensky is fire. They call for a&#34;new mandate for global drug and vaccine development research in low- and middle-income settings that requires a licensing, manufacture, pricing, and distribution plan prior to the conduct of trials. Should a trial show benefit, the local population would be ensured access on a pre-specified timeline.&#34;<br/>Free link in comments. <a href="https://www.statnews.com/2024/09/18/lenacapavir-cabotegravir-hiv-aids-clinical-trials-africa/">https://www.statnews.com/2024/09/18/lenacapavir-cabotegravir-hiv-aids-clinical-trials-africa/</a> 2024-09-29T12:33:32Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqspzyxdv6rxy4397q4zc3lug9quyw0gg4mxkdh5xmzxgn5553nadvczyz7uqnzkux84qd0zv4rmezq08lfhp5zxe2q0d3rf8pge570v0uzxwntdj0a Thanks to [@yalesph](<a href="https://bird.froth.zone/users/yalesph">https://bird.froth.zone/users/yalesph</a> ) for covering the launch of our new project (with Josh Warren and David Paltiel). <a href="https://ysph.yale.edu/news-article/ysph-researchers-launch-major-initiative-to-improve-hiv-outbreak-detection-among-people-who-use-drugs/">https://ysph.yale.edu/news-article/ysph-researchers-launch-major-initiative-to-improve-hiv-outbreak-detection-among-people-who-use-drugs/</a> 2024-09-27T14:45:03Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsf5lhmc3gsqqfhglxpkyrueufhfup0r3cfc88d8tpass0pu02qs3czyz7uqnzkux84qd0zv4rmezq08lfhp5zxe2q0d3rf8pge570v0uzxwt3aywd This broke my heart. <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cz9py388z17o">https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cz9py388z17o</a> 2024-09-27T01:40:19Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsw5lglj3wr0cagzurcu8pynpa8plrctv94xj3e5w9xp3g9mxn0uagzyz7uqnzkux84qd0zv4rmezq08lfhp5zxe2q0d3rf8pge570v0uzxw5uhu7x Can&#39;t believe I had to write this. But given the upswing in anti-vax sentiment in the US and the low vaccination rates for COVID and flu (and the under-vaccination of kids for some infections), it has to be said loud and clear.

All this is being covered as just another of Trump’s “upending norms”. Schools and hospitals have shuttered due to bomb threats.

This racist is spreading lies about HIV and Haitians like it&#39;s the 1980s, AND when he went back to Ohio after Yale Law School, started a sham charity to fight the opioid epidemic (which has resulted in, well, guess what?

The Trump campaign was gonna roll with the architects of swiftboating and told you so two years ago. Yet, you embrace this garbage again and again. Seems like you like it.

If you don&#39;t know how research works, &#34;indirects&#34; support the basic infrastructure that makes science possible. What happens? Deep faculty cuts. Less research. Bad for science.
