🎉The new and improved is here! 🎉 We're hoping to make this a one-stop location to track not only the 'headline' variants, but many different #SARSCoV2 mutations & variants that scientists are keeping an eye on. Let's take a tour of the site! 1/12

"Do not fear those who tell the truth. Fear those who try to hide it. They are willing to sacrifice other things." Just as a reminder, US taxpayers fund much of this research. It's your right to see what it says. #scientificCensorship

What happened to @CDCgov's bird flu studies and why did they publish about wildfires instead? Sources tell us Trump officials are now wielding unprecedented control over agency's flagship scientific journal "The MMWR has lost its autonomy"

Die Situation für die Wissenschaft in den USA unter Trump ist sehr besorgniserregend. Vielen Dank an Irène Dietschi @SRF für die Berichterstattung über dieses wichtige Thema! (Beginn 18:50) (Deutsch)

@Redkiraz I would agree with the view that one takeaway from what's happened and is happening in the US, is that we should ensure our public health research, funding, and infrastructure is global and distributed, & doesn't overly rely on a handful of countries.

This is not only cruel and selfish, but also incredibly short-sighted - many of the outcomes of these trials will benefit the whole world - including the USA The cruelty & stupidity of freezing aid suddenly without oversight or forethought is astounding.

@fehndrich Depends how much they gouge the funds for public health programs I suppose.

@Redkiraz We were never in a scenario where the rest of the world was "doing nothing". But public health is a global endeavour - we all have to work together.

@ArtfulExorcism He replied to a post of mine about being honest about the COVID-19 situation on 17 Nov 2020, and it's been burned into my brain ever since. He's since deleted his account, but I think of this quote, and him, regularly.

@SquirrelPocket The site is back up now, though it's not yet known what may have been removed to bring it 'into compliance'. Banners suggest the scrubbing is ongoing.

@CovidDc I've heard that a lot of the vaccine information is back up, but have heard rumours that some (like for mpox) may be scrubbed or incomplete. I think 'routine' vaccines are likely back up. I hope you can find the information!
