Green colonialism is flooding the Pacific Northwest: The Yakama Nation is fighting a pumped hydro storage development near Goldendale, Washington – but it’s just one of many. These traditional root digging sites are irreplaceable and energy project will probably not do what they say it will. The rush to develop #RenewableEnergy in the Pacific Northwest has triggered a repeat of Manifest Destiny. I investigated one development, and found loopy logic, accountability-dodging and incentivism, as feds and county government enable corporations and keep tribal nations robbed of any meaningful way to protect cultural properties:

‘Jewel in the crown’ COVID-19 infection survey bows out: The survey has provided vital information on the prevalence of the virus for nearly three years.

The long-running coronavirus infection survey, dubbed the ‘envy of the world’ for its success in measuring prevalence of the virus among the population, will publish its final regular update on March 24.

Predicting vaccine effectiveness against severe COVID-19 over time and against variants: a meta-analysis: Vaccine protection from symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection has been shown to be strongly correlated with neutralising antibody titres; however, this has not yet been demonstrated for severe COVID-19. To explore whether this relationship also holds for severe COVID-19, we performed a systematic search for studies reporting on protection against different SARS-CoV-2 clinical endpoints and extracted data from 15 studies.

A Red State’s Anti-Abortion Judges Just Made a Chilling Declaration of Their True Beliefs: Health crises are never so predictable and containable; they do not progress in linear fashion, with easy off-ramps at every level of endangerment. But anti-abortion conservatives would never admit this, because it would imperil their entire mythology of pregnancy. So they pretend that their laws will never endanger patients’ lives and issue grave, self-exonerating statements when faced with an anecdote to the contrary.

How This State GOP Completely Changed Its Mind On Medicaid Expansion: This week, Republicans in the North Carolina House lined up to vote on another expansion bill, and this time most of them voted for it, with the legislation passing by a total margin of 87 to 24. The vote came a week after the GOP-controlled Senate approved the same proposal by an even more lopsided, 44 to 2, margin. The overwhelming margins behind Medicaid expansion and investment in it by the state’s most powerful elected officials mean it is likely to happen, by most accounts, that it’s probably a question of when, not if, an estimated 600,000 low-income residents will soon have a chance to get health insurance.
