 Someone did a study to try to figure out how to make masks cling tighter to a face and eliminate gaps.   Their answer–pantyhose. Since these kinds of studies are incredibly myopic, I doubt they used an air tester to see if by making masks cling tighter to a person’s face, plus adding a layer, plus… Continue reading

 The U Penn women’s swim team has sent a letter to U Penn and the Ivy League asking that they not take legal action over the revised criteria for a man wanting to swim as a woman (the last part is my take, not theirs). It is a terrible injustice that they have been bullied… Continue reading

 Novavax has put in for FDA emergency use authorization of its covid shot.   It’s old school  : a ‘protein based’ vaccine that introduces a person’s immune system to inactive virus cells – similar to the flu shot and many other common vaccines – in order to mount a response.” Their studies were done before the… Continue reading
