"Here, Zonozi et al. characterized the T cell response to SARS-CoV-2 vaccination and infection in individuals lacking B cells due to treatment with rituximab or due to a primary immunodeficiency. Not only were virus-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cells elicited by both infection and vaccination, but the T cells exhibited greater reactivity and proliferative capacity as compared with controls."

"Most of all, though, the Saleh family worry about their olives. It is close to the end of the traditional harvest season and they, like villagers across the West Bank, have been unable to reach most of their trees."

'In December, after Nixon complained that American aerial bombardment up to that point was inadequate, Kissinger passed along an order for “a massive bombing campaign in Cambodia.” Ignoring the distinction between civilian and military targets, Kissinger said, “Anything that flies on anything that moves. You got that?”'
'O principal obstáculo a um ensino de qualidade é, para os professores, o tempo atribuído à História nas matrizes curriculares (58%). Em Portugal, a redução da carga lectiva a esta disciplina acentuou-se a partir de 2018, com a implementação da flexibilidade curricular. Um inquérito realizado, em 2021, pela Associação de Professores de História mostrou que, em mais de metade das escolas, a carga horária reservada para a disciplina, no 3.º ciclo, era menos de metade do tempo recomendado.'

'It is 1961 and Gabriel García Márquez has just arrived in Mexico City, penniless but full of literary ambition, trying desperately to work on a new novel. One day, he is sitting in the legendary Café La Habana, where Fidel Castro and Che Guevara were said to have plotted the Cuban Revolution. Julio Cortázar walks in, carrying a copy of Juan Rulfo’s novel “Pedro Páramo.” With a swift gesture, as if he’s dealing cards, Cortázar throws the book on García Márquez’s table. “Tenga, pa que aprenda,” he says. “Read this and learn.”

'Kissinger meant that there must never be an example of a country in America’s sphere of influence delivering socialism through the ballot. “Henry saw Allende as being a far more serious threat than Castro,” Kissinger staffer Morris told Hersh. “Allende was a living example of democratic social reform in Latin America.”

"Across the U.S., roughly 6 million adults 65 and over have Alzheimer’s disease. Almost two thirds of them are women — a discrepancy that researchers have long attributed to genetics and women’s longer life spans, among other reasons. But there is growing consensus that menopause may also be an important risk factor for the development of dementia later in life."

'Nature reported last month that China’s decoupling from the countries loosely described as the West mirrors its strengthening of science links with low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), as part of its Belt and Road Initiative (see Nature 622, 669–670; 2023).'

Portuguese poet, writer, literary critic, translator, publisher, and philosopher Fernando Pessoa died #OTD in 1935. Pessoa was a prolific writer, and not only under his own name, for he created approximately seventy-five others, of which three stand out: Alberto Caeiro, Álvaro de Campos, and Ricardo Reis (his heteronyms). via @wikipedia

I feel only joy for Henry Kissinger's death.
He destroyed my home country Cyprus. My parents had to flee to escape from his "foreign policy". His destruction spread across many other countries such as Vietnam, Cambodia, Chile, Bangladesh to name a few. He had the blood of millions of people on his hands. May this old scumfuck rot in Hell. I'm glad he's dead. Praise all the Gods of Death.

I will say this about Henry Kissinger: Jimmy Carter outlived him. And I’d like to think that means there is just a tiny little bit of justice in this world.
