New bird flu strain threatens North American wildlife: Thousands of seabirds, geese, eagles and vultures are dead, as wildlife health experts recommend a revolution in disease management. Rresearchers have so far documented infections in 51 species, including bald eagles and great horned owls. That’s more than twice the number of species known to have been infected during the last North American HPAI outbreak, in 2014–15.

Why getting PFAS out of our products is so hard, and why it matters: Found in products like food packaging, clothes and firefighting foam, PFAS have contaminated drinking water sources nationwide since becoming commercially available in the middle of the last century, building up in the environment where they won’t break down for a very long time.

# Covid / Pandemics / Biologicals
The Private Market Is No Place for Covid-19 Countermeasures: The U.S. will stop funding vaccines but says it wants equitable access. That’s not possible in a predatory system. Top: Officials recently announced Covid-19 ‘countermeasures’ – meaning vaccines, tests, and treatment would transition to the commercial market sooner than previously planned, with program funds set to run out as early as January 2023. Like handing over henhouse security to a fox and expecting more egg production in return.

Long COVID has forced a reckoning for one of medicine’s most neglected diseases: Many cases of long COVID are effectively ME/CFS by another name. The exact number is hard to define, but past studies have shown that 5 to 27 percent of people infected by various pathogens, including Epstein-Barr virus and the original SARS, develop ME/CFS. Even if that proportion is 10 times lower for SARS-CoV-2, the number of Americans with ME/CFS would still have doubled in the past three years. “We’re adding an immense volume of patients to an already dysfunctional and overburdened system,” Beth Pollack, scientist at MIT

The Story Behind One of the Most Influential Scientific Articles in History: It took 15 months and a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit to reveal that each of the five authors of ‘The proximal origin of SARS-CoV-2’ — the seminal article concluding COVID-19 didn’t escape from a lab had expressed private concerns about engineering or the Wuhan Institute of Virology’s store of novel coronaviruses.

The More COVID Shots You Get, the More Likely You’ll Get COVID. Here’s Why: Scientists warn that repeated COVID-19 boosters may result in lowered immunity through a process known as “original antigenic sin,” or “immune imprinting” — making you more susceptible to symptomatic infections.

# Education / Schools
In a surprise announcement Thursday, the Biden administration released a change to its plans to forgive student loans that will now exclude several million previously eligible Americans.
https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/davidmack/student-loan-debt-forgiveness-changes-biden

The Department of Education on Thursday tightened eligibility criteria for President Joe Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan as GOP-led states sued to block the relief. The department said those with privately owned federal student loans, including Federal Family Education Loans and Perkins Loans, can no longer apply for Biden’s student loan forgiveness, backtracking on a previous announcement that said those borrowers could consolidate their loans into federal Direct Loans to obtain relief money.

Major government unions lose over 200K members: The top four public labor unions in the U.S. lost hundreds of thousands of members since a 2018 Supreme Court case that ruled government employees could not be forced to pay a union to keep their jobs. The Commonwealth Foundation released the report, which found that the top four public labor unions, AFT, AFSCME, NEA, and SEIU, lost nearly 219,000 members altogether since the Janus v.

River Deltas Are Running Out of Land: Estimates of many deltas’ stabilities in the face of sea level rise were overoptimistic. Millions of people live on river deltas, occupying land that exists in the delicate balance between a river’s push and the ocean’s pull. Deltas are inherently transient, but according to a new study, many may be even more precarious than once thought, with unexpectedly high levels of land loss threatening to submerge these low-lying landscapes.

Mississippi Accused of ‘Intolerable’ Racial Discrimination in Jackson Water Crisis: The NAACP has filed a federal complaint with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) alleging violations of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and accusing the State of Mississippi of “gross mishandling” of the Jackson water crisis, a press release from the NAACP said. The complaint cited an extensive history of neglect and refusal to provide federal funding that amounted to racial discrimination.

Senate Approves $12.3 Billion in New Aid to Ukraine in Stopgap Spending Bill [I wonder what they are getting in return for all these billions of dollars being sent over there?] Latest round of spending on the war comes as Kyiv makes gains on the battlefield. President Joe Biden still has not used the remaining $2.1 billion in presidential drawdown authority to transfer weapons to Kyiv that Congress already approved in the Ukraine aid bill it passed in May. The authorization has an expiration date of Sept. 30. The Republican portrayal of that money as unused aid gone to waste is in dispute, though, as White House officials argue the new funding request builds on the old batch.

What are ultra-processed foods and why are they so bad for you? Ultra-processed foods are extra tasty concoctions that we eat every day. Ultra-processed foods are made mostly from substances extracted from foods, such as fats, starches, added sugars, and hydrogenated fats. They may also contain additives like artificial colors and flavors or stabilizers. Examples of these foods are frozen meals, soft drinks, hot dogs and cold cuts, fast food, packaged cookies, cakes, and salty snacks. Processed foods are essentially made by adding salt, oil, sugar, or other substances. Examples include canned fish or canned vegetables, fruits in syrup, and freshly made breads.

It seems near impossible for the public view of our elected officials to drop any lower. The Times dug into the stock trades that members of Congress made from 2019 to 2021. They found many cases in which politicians or their close family members made stock trades in circumstances in which they could have had insider knowledge.

The Truth About Rainbow Fentanyl: It was never meant for kids, it’s not aimed at their Halloween basket, but it does represent a real threat for casual drug users. Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is 50 times more potent than heroin and 100 times more potent than morphine. Just two milligrams of fentanyl, which is equal to 10-15 grains of table salt, is considered a lethal dose. Without laboratory testing, there is no way to know how much fentanyl is concentrated in a pill or powder.

An animal tranquilizer poisoning the heroin supply has drug policy experts worried: A tranquilizer used for animals is appearing more frequently in street drugs across North America, alarming drug policy experts and harm reduction advocates alike. When injected, the mixture of xylazine and fentanyl, sometimes called “tranq dope,” can also produce grisly injuries, such as lesions or open skin ulcers. Because they can be extremely painful, some individuals who use drugs will continue to inject into these open sores and wounds for relief. However, that can make things worse, causing the wounds to necrotize, or essentially rot on the body, often requiring amputation. Sometimes, it can even result in death.

The legislation says that none of those actions would be subject to review by the courts. Additionally, it would transfer any legal action related to the pipeline or challenges to the act itself from the 4th Circuit to the D.C. Circuit.

Four Moscow-occupied regions in Ukraine are slated to vote on joining Russia starting Friday. The votes in Luhansk, Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, and Donetsk are universally viewed as a sham by Ukraine and Western powers.
It’s likely Russia will use sham elections as pretense for annexing areas of Ukraine. Voting begins today, and will continue until Tuesday.
