Here’s a taste of the vaccine-related mis/disinformation going around about the incident involving Damar Hamlin. There’s no evidence that his collapse was related to vaccination, but anti-vaxxers will use any opportunity, even tragedy, to advance their agenda.

@aprettyaday @tundenagybanto, this is highly embarrassing for the academics organizing such meetings, given the research on how conferences have commonly been superspreader events. Insisting on in-person attendance is ridiculously retrograde and rooted in poor scholarship. I wonder if these conferences monitored CO2 in real time, provided access to vaccination, and had mandatory masking, free daily RATs, and HEPA units everywhere 🤷‍♀️
Guessing not.

Shame on conferences announcing in their call for papers that "no virtual talks will be accommodated"! Truly sad that academics don't show the way #climatechange #inclusion #pandemicnotover

A nice empirical demonstration of Galileo's principle of relativity: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIMNS0YiHzY

If one replaces the person on the trampoline with a light beam bouncing up and down between two horizontal mirrors, and assumes that the speed of light is \(c\) in every inertial frame, one obtains the well-known 'light clock" thought experiment of Einstein that derives the fact that such clocks slow down by a factor of \(\sqrt{1-v^2/c^2\) when moving at a velocity \(v\).

Sick of people calling everything in crypto a Ponzi scheme. Some crypto projects are Pump-and-Dump schemes, while others are Pyramid schemes. Others are just middlemen skimming off the top. Others are just standard-issue fraud.

Stop glossing over the diversity in the industry.

Ukrainian defenders are driving around the battlefront in unprotected vehicles.
This leads to preventable deaths and injuries from land mines.

Though they refuse to fight, Ukraine’s allies should function as the Arsenal of Democracy and provide armoured vehicles – in abundance.

Tonight I’m reading about a new #COVID variant that’s raging through New York and Quebec right now. Of course, nobody’s paying attention. Masks? What are they? I guess COVID, like mass shootings, are merely the price we pay for freedom. When will somebody that matters stand up and say enough! The price is too high! It’s feeling more and more inevitable that COVID will catch up to my immunocompromised wife, despite our best efforts. Not a question of if, but when. But hey, freedumb!

6) When some pundits declare #COVID is no big deal, are they referring to 40% of Quebec health workers having suffered from long COVID, according to a study this year? Or are they referring to a federal study estimating 1.4 million Canadians have developed symptoms of long COVID?
