#IDMastodon @bmj_latest #Paxlovid “rebound” is a growing concern—as is resistance generally to existing covid antivirals. With #COVID still a risk to vulnerable groups, what does current research make of Paxlovid’s place in our treatment options?

'Predatory publishers step into this void and accustom uninformed researchers to scientific publishing that is fast and obstacle-free. Once hooked, some authors keep going back to these predatory journals, confusing speed with quality. “OMICS is open access, relatively straightforward and timely. Much less of a hassle and less arrogant than old-school society journals,” one survey respondent wrote.'

As @wdlindsy points out in highlighting the Hasan piece (https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2023/08/fulton-county-indictment-vs-jack-smith-trump-case.html) MSM reactions to the GA indictment (and to a lesser extent, the NYS one) has a thread of racism in it. The indictments are too much (WaPo's Marcus). Boring (NYT's Baker). In re Bragg--too trivial to take down a former POTUS.
Those are not serious analyses or objections. That means we have to ask why they seemed so to elite reporters and editors.
As Hasan and Lindsey write--there's a prime suspect on that q.

Yesterday’s Mystery Person was Tu Youyou. Only a few people ventured a guess.
From Wikipedia: Tu Youyou is a Chinese pharmaceutical chemist and malariologist. She discovered artemisinin and dihydroartemisinin, used to treat malaria, a breakthrough in twentieth-century tropical medicine, saving millions of lives in South China, Southeast Asia, Africa, and South America.

"I'm 99% convinced that Twitter, as we know it, is dead, and the sooner academics accept that, the better, in terms of finding solutions to these problems."
“The algorithm-based approaches that people are taking are suboptimal,” says Drew Hannaman, head of R&D at Ichor Medical Systems, which obtained an empirical neoantigen selection platform after Genocea’s bankruptcy last year. “[Algorithm-based approaches] are pretty good at identifying a property that is necessary to generate immune response. But they are not comprehensive enough to identify the properties that are necessary and sufficient.” The result, Hannaman says, is “a lot of false positives”.
"Mass death has long been normalized on Europe’s borders. More than 27,800 people have died or disappeared in the Mediterranean Sea since 2014 — and that is most likely a large underestimate. This year is shaping up to be especially deadly."

"(...) the sole surviving manuscript of the Ethics was deposited in the archives of the Roman Inquisition by Steno, who also submitted an indictment of his former friend to the Inquisitors. They did their work well: their subsequent investigation provides one of the main sources for Spinoza’s life. "

Mary Edwards Walker worked as a surgeon for the Union Army during the Civil War. She was captured by Confederates after crossing enemy lines to treat wounded civilians & arrested as a spy. She's the only woman to ever receive the Medal of Honor - pictured here, wearing it.

'Una nueva investigación, llevada a cabo por expertos del Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center de Nueva York y de la Universidad de Zurich ha encontrado un obstáculo añadido a esta difícil ecuación: “el sobreprecio” o “la prima” del cáncer (”the cancer premium”, en inglés).“'
'Many late 19th-century paintings present the cypress as the morbid symbol that Hugo describes. Arnold Böcklin’s cypresses in his well-known “Island of the Dead,” for instance, leave little to the imagination. Gabriel-Albert Aurier interpreted van Gogh’s trees in dialogue with these morbid Symbolist paintings.'
