So thankful to be liberated again! It was a rough 20 hours of unliberation. #MAGAnomics

I’m honestly super impressed with Russia’s long game in winning the Cold War.

This is the worst possible person to defend public education. I was a public school parent until the pandemic and will never consider it again after seeing how low on the priority list children were for 2 years. Young people need to recover from your actions, @AFTunion

The trust-the-scinece people should probably read more of the science on motivated reasoning.

from vax'd to vax'd if asymptomatic. 1 in huge case cluster analysis. Putting emphasis on masks over vaccination is a huge mistake for a country to do given the history of infectious diseases and how only immunity can get you through (preferably through vax). Masks ok; vax great

Last week, I learned my kids actually learn better w/ masks on all day at school (no worries about early literacy and the data). Now I find out that in-person professional interaction is totally unnecessary and may even be harmful to collaboration/innovation. What’s next??

It is not hard to imagine a WHO pandemic press conference in 2050, with sober reminders that control may simply not be possible in all cases, and that the tragic lessons from 2020, about the dangers of short-term thinking for long-term public health, must not be forgotten. 8/8

“Data from 50k pupils & a survey of schools across England have shown an increased number of 4-5 year-olds needing help with language. Evidence shows poor speech development can have long-term effects on learning.” Is this actually surprising to ANYONE?? bbc.com/news/education…

Despite horrific comms errors w/ the public and regulators, I do think the AZ vaccine is safe & effective. However, I think it may legitimately be cursed... Emergent mixed ingredients from the J&J & AstraZeneca vaccines, ruining up to 15 mil doses😮😮😮nytimes.com/2021/03/31/us/…
