"It would be unthinkable for urban firefighters — those American icons who loom large in the public imagination — to enter a burning building without wearing a mask. But across the country, tens of thousands of people who fight wildfires spend weeks working in toxic smoke and ash wearing only a cloth bandanna, or nothing at all."

The Claremont Institute wants to "reeducate" federal workers into MAGA ideology. This place is a cancer. How many more lawyers can they get disbarred?

Are we ready, yet, to have the conversation about how SARS-CoV-2 can cause and/or rapidly accelerate cancer growth?

I'm not saying this about the person in this article specifically. But I'm also not, not saying it.

I'm asking if we're ready to at least start to connect the dots between the sudden uptick in rare and aggressive cancers and the COVID-19 pandemic. Are we ready to look at the science that is actually showing that is is not a coincidence?

Are we ready to add this to the list of why it's not "just a cold" virus?

"Now, scientists are working on techniques for systematically detecting whiffy biomarkers that could speed up diagnoses of a dazzling array of conditions ranging from Parkinson's disease and brain injuries to cancer. The key to spotting them may have been hiding right under our noses."

This is one of my most personal (and painful) articles to date.

When I was 18 years old, my Mom was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. She died nine months later.

Those months were some of the most beautiful and painful of my young life.

RFK Jr’s recent mRNA funding cuts have put a pancreatic cancer vaccine in jeopardy, and opened up old wounds for me and my family.

My article explores the human cost of his cruel cuts, as well as what it’s like to support a loved one through a terminal diagnosis.

More reasons to get flu and COVID vaccines.

‘Sleeping’ cancer cells in the lungs can be roused by COVID and flu.
"data from thousands of people show that infection with the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 is linked with a nearly twofold increase in cancer-related death, possibly helping to explain why cancer death rates increased early during the COVID-19 pandemic."

A woman I attended jr high & high school with, who was addicted to #suntanning for decades was been diagnosed with stage 3 #SkinCancer recently. We all tried to warn her for a long time. She refused to listen. Now, the hard consequences have come.

It's super dangerous to wear almost no protection & keep suntanning. Some folks never learn until it's too late & they're hospitalized with skin #cancer.
