Monkeypox Has Mutated at an Unprecedented Rate with ‘Accelerated
Evolution’: The study, which was published in the medical journal Nature Medicine, found that there were an average of 50 mutations in samples from this year when only up to 10 would typically be expected.

An in-depth mutational analysis suggests the action of host APOBEC3 in viral evolution as well as signs of potential MPXV human adaptation in ongoing microevolution. Our findings also indicate that genome sequencing may provide resolution to track the spread and transmission of this presumably slow-evolving dsDNA virus.

Horse dewormer Ivermectin for COVID-19 review update: 11 trials and no evidence of benefit: No evidence to support the use of ivermectin for treating or preventing COVID-19 infection, state the authors of an updated Cochrane Review, which now contains 11 trials across 3,409 people. Laboratory tests suggested a weak effect on SARS-CoV-2 virus in a test-tube but the dose required for humans would need to be so large it was dismissed as an option.

Natto: Remedy For COVID Vaccine-Induced Blood Clots: BSNK66® Nattokinase? The problem of thrombosis should not be underestimated.
Under normal circumstances, thrombosis is closely related to other diseases such as stroke, pulmonary embolism, and cerebral infarction.
Scientists are still exploring the relationship between COVID-19 and thrombosis, but as far as the current situation is concerned, scientists and doctors already have some opinions.

Skyrocketing Rent is Driving Inflation: One of the biggest drivers of inflation, at least according to the most recent Consumer Price Index report, has not elicited even a peep from the political class: the soaring cost of housing. According to the breakdown of services, the cost of shelter is now far outpacing airline tickets, as well other services combined, as a primary driver of inflation.

Social Security recipients started 2022 with the biggest boost to their benefits since 1982. To help retirees cope with the highest inflation rate in 40 years, Biden oversaw a cost of living adjustment (COLA) of 5.9%, which boosted the average recipient’s check by $92 from $1,565 per month to $1,657 per month.

The Supreme Court Is Now Forcing Taxpayers to Pay for Anti-Gay Religious
Schools: The ruling lays the groundwork for a legal effort to undermine the principle of universal, secular, public education. In its clearest statement to date, the court said that if a state uses taxpayer money to pay for students attending nonreligious private schools, it must also use taxpayer funds to pay for attendance at religious schools.

Largest Ever Bleaching of Sea Sponges Recorded in New Zealand: New Zealand is experiencing the largest bleaching of sea sponges ever recorded, scientists say, after extreme ocean temperatures turned millions of the aquatic creatures white. The discovery comes after researchers raised the alarm in May, when sea sponges off New Zealand’s southern coastline were found bleached for the first time.

# Food / Farming / GMOs / Chemicals / Other What Makes Avocados Healthy? Part of what makes avocados so nutritious is their fat: There are 10 grams of fat (and 114 calories) in half of a medium-sized fruit. “That’s a lot of fat for a fruit or vegetable, but it is the type of fat we want people to eat.” About 64 percent of the fat in avocados is monounsaturated, which lowers LDL (bad) cholesterol levels, reducing the risk of a heart attack or stroke.

Putin dealt blow as Russian advance likely to stall in coming weeks.
Ukrainian forces have succeeded for weeks in drawing substantial quantities of Russian personnel, weapons, and equipment into the area and have likely degraded Russian forces’ overall capabilities while preventing Russian forces from focusing on more advantageous axes of advance, the analysis said. “The loss of Severodonetsk is a loss for Ukraine in the sense that any terrain captured by Russian forces is a loss, but the battle of Severodonetsk will not be a decisive Russian victory.”

The shame of the Supreme Court: The six Republican appointees are intent on returning America to the stone age. Only one of us now sits on the Supreme Court. He and five of his colleagues, all appointed by Republican presidents, five by presidents who lost the popular vote, three by a president who instigated a coup against the United States, are now violating stare decisis. They have not given a clear and convincing argument for why. Thomas wants the court to reverse more than a half century of rights.

Alito’s ‘Dobbs’ Opinion Overturning ‘Roe’ Is Judicial Activism: This isn’t constitutionalism, or even politics. It’s religious fundamentalism, using legal theory as a fig-leaf. At the heart of Justice Samuel Alito’s opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which overturns Roe v. Wade (1973) and eliminates the constitutional right to abortion, is Alito’s objection that “the Constitution makes no mention of abortion.” For Alito and the many legal conservatives who think like him, unenumerated constitutional rights are inherently suspect. When a court recognizes an unenumerated right, these conservatives say, that court is almost certainly guilty of judicial activism.
