In memory of Lauren Boebert’s last day in Congress, enjoy this video of her ripping a vape, giving her date a hand job, and being kicked out of a theater.

Shingles vax also reduces your risk of dementia Yeah. Vaccines are incredible. We are so lucky to live in the second golden age of vaccines. But they don’t work if we don’t use them

Replying to @joancooke5
Do not not not not get shingles. The most minor case will cost you six weeks of exhaustion. The worst reaction to the two stage vax is like a mild flu

New paper out in Lancet Regional Health Americas, with Alicia Grima, Natalie Wilson, Simran Mann, Ashleigh Tuite and Clara Lee. How many Ontario deaths are attributable to respiratory viruses, and how does SARS-CoV-2 compare to flu? 🧵 doi.org/10.1016/j.lana.2026.…

Death certificates undercount viral deaths. Flu kills people through heart attacks, strokes and secondary bacterial infections that never get coded as flu. So we used 30+ years of monthly all-cause deaths (1993-2025) for Ontario and asked how mortality moves when each virus circulates.
