Astute and yes it's sarcasm
DYK that organic food consumption is STRONGLY correlated with the rise we are seeing in autism? And while correlation isn’t causation, no one has done the necessary studies to rule out organic food as a potential cause… ie we can’t say it’s safe for you.🤷🏽‍♂️

I discussed the 3 major difference between RNA and Novavax vaccines in this lengthy thread with references, as you asked for. The 3: 1. CTLs with RNA: essentially a non-issue 2. Higher peak Abs with RNA: transient benefit 3. More AEs and IgG4 with RNA xitter.cf/michaelzlin/status/183…
Replying to @michaelzlin
The main differences between protein and RNA vax in practice are threefold: 1. Cellular immunity, meaning CD8 cytotoxic T cell responses: RNA vax elicit this, whereas Novavax CTL responses are minimal.

I'm a professor at @Tulane. I was present at the Pro-Palestinian protest on campus. I observed Tulane students engaging in peaceful & nonviolent demonstration. Lift suspensions & drop charges We condemn the violent & disproportionate police response. We stand with our students.

🙌 new federal guidelines for low-barrier OUD care emphasize harm reduction, medication without precondition (tox testing, acceptance of other services, ongoing substance use), patient-centered goals — including MOUD dosing + visit frequency — and the value of Peers & telehealth
SAMHSA has released an advisory that outlines recommendations for implementation of low barrier models of care to significantly expand access to lifesaving treatment for individuals with substance use disorders: store.samhsa.gov/product/adv…

Anti-zionist Jews are the inevitable & necessary moral future of Judaism because if you can’t hold onto your ethics during an ongoing genocide, you have no business calling yourself a legitimate & trustworthy spiritual community leader.

A friend recently introduced me to transpersonal psychology, gnosticism, and the idea of Wilber and Henri Bergson. What's a good entry-level book/podcast/video to learn more?

Descheduling marijuana would mean that weed smokers could become law enforcement. It would expand who is eligible to join the military, something we need. It may reduce problem drinking among anyone who is tested to federal standards: truckers, pilots, cops, soldiers, airmen.
