My sister's godmother died of LongCovid complications a few days ago. It hit my sister pretty hard, and I'm feeling a bit stunned. I didn't know her as well as my sister, but it's a reminder of how lethal Covid can be. I have a somewhat mild form of LongCovid and it still debilitates me. She had a much, much worse form of it.
Please mask. Please engage in infectious disease mitigations. Take care of yourselves. #MaskUp #InfectiousDisease

today.ucsd.eduStealth Genetic Switch in Mosquitoes Halts Malaria SpreadResearchers have developed a system that blocks malaria transmission in mosquitoes, which continue to be the deadliest animals on Earth. The CRISPR-based gene-editing system changes a single molecule within mosquitoes, a tiny but effective change that stops the malaria-parasite transmission process.

“This concern, this hesitancy, these questions about #vaccines are a consequence of the great success of the vaccines – because they eliminated the #diseases,” said Dr. William Schaffner, an #InfectiousDisease expert at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. “If you’re not familiar with the disease, you don’t respect or even fear it. And therefore you don’t value the #vaccine.”
