This is one of the images deleted from the @CDCgov historical archive, by the way. I downloaded it this morning and can't access it anymore. We are ready to repeat the past.

⚠️CDC WEBSITES DELETED—Multiple CDC websites and datasets related to HIV, LGBTQ people, youth health behaviors and more have been removed after the agency was directed to comply with an executive order from President Trump by 5pm deadline. Wildest is taking down even HIV pages!

Remember 5 months ago when Finland quietly started vaccinating their population, even without having any #H5N1 cases?

The time to prepare for a pandemic is not when it arrives, but in the quiet moments when no one believes it will.

So, I am redoing my annual BSL-3 facility training, and this is how we have to dress to work with #SARSCoV2 in the Lab. I am investigating the same strain that is circulating everywhere, Omicron variants KP.2 and KP.3. What do you think? 🙇 #biohazardous #BSL3 #Covid

Gentle reminder: even if you don't mask regularly, please mask inside airplanes.

I spent another day in the microscope taking photos of dozens of healthy brains infected with #SARSCov2 (monkey and human), only to come to Twitter and see all the 'specialists' denying it is real. People who have never used a microscope before. This world is a dystopia.

Reminding you that there is no mRNA vaccine available yet for #H5N1. The H5N1 vaccine uses an inactivated platform, developed in eggs. What it means? For the U.S. alone it will take hens laying 900,000 eggs every single day for nine months. That's if the hens don't get...#birdflu

"But SARS-CoV-2 doesn't even infect the brain, how can you want to work with that?" My dude. My job is literally spending the whole day taking pictures of SARS-CoV-2 in the brain. I literally see this crap every day, all the time; it says hi to me, and I say back hi to it every

COVID-19 will never be like the Flu. Never. At least not for the brain. I would love to be wrong; please prove me wrong with evidence and real science! It is quite simple. #SARSCoV2 can access the brain using several different mechanisms that Influenza cannot. A: Viral

My 12-hour delayed flight with @united was due to the airplane needing repairs. Not a real emergency. Instead of arriving 8 AM I got there 8 PM. My mom was intubated 4 PM and I could not say goodbye to her. The compensation? A $15 meal voucher and $175.00 to buy another ticket.

Let's celebrate all athletes who are still masking? I want to start with the super badass Raven Saunders. Raven is chasing an Olympic gold medal at the Paris Games after earning silver in Tokyo. A mask and long nails did not disrupt their qualification for the Olympics in June💅
