Don’t let him minimize the cyclosporiasis outbreak. FACTS: 🚩 FoodNet went from tracking 8 key pathogens to just 2 🚩 The CDC division associated with Barratt had nearly $30 million in funding cut, and its staff was reduced from 11 to 3

Bacteriophage therapy uses specific viruses to infect and destroy drug-resistant bacterial strains while leaving human cells and the normal microbiome unharmed. 🦠🧫🦠🧫🦠🧫 "The standardization of quality criteria for the production of phages for personalized use, as well as the identification of infrastructural requirements, are essential components of the guideline and important prerequisites for reliable treatments," says Dr. Annika Claßen. The DZIF researcher played a leading role in developing the guideline. She heads the "Translational Bacteriophage Research Group" at the University Hospital Cologne.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but apparently the DOJ does. The Constitution hasn’t changed. States control how they run elections, including voting by mail. Americans have voted by mail for decades without issue. The lone loser who has an issue? He votes by mail too.
