Since 2022 the Japanese have had access to Xocova, a once-daily SARS-CoV-2 antiviral that is superior to Paxlovid. It is even approved for prophylactic use in Japan. A critical upcoming FDA decision will determine the fate of this drug in the US. A lot hangs in the balance! 🧵⬇️ 
When a household contact gets COVID-19, studies show 20-40% of housemates are infected. It's really hard to 😷 consistently, so there is a big need for prophylactic antivirals. An N=2,039 Phase 3 trial shows Xocova meets that need, cutting risk among household contacts by 57%!!
Paxlovid has also been tested for post-exposure prophylaxis after a household contact gets COVID-19, in an N=2,736 Phase 2-3 trial. The study found no benefit from Paxlovid 😔. The only major diff was Paxlovid was given within 96 hrs of exposure vs 72 hrs in the Xocova study...
So here we are with out Second Story in the series of SHOURYA GATHA : PAMPOSH WARRIORS.

Story No 2: Lt Col (Dr.) Anupama Munshi: From Frost to Frontline: A Fearless Force
1/17
Lt Col (Dr.) Anupama Munshi’s life is a living legacy, a true truth forged in fire. Like a chinar standing strong in storm, she was born in beautiful, breathtaking Kashmir — Lal Ded Hospital, Srinagar. #IndianArmy #NariShakti 2/17
Schooling started at Mallinson Girls, Srinagar. Then her father’s service sent her traversing terrains, tasting traditions across India. Yet her heart stayed homebound, humming — Kashmir was her compass, constant as a heartbeat. 3/17
Je sais d'avance que bcp vont ignorer la diffusion de cet entretien par confort moral. Parce qu'il faudrait remettre en question des méthodes qui sont banalisées, voire encensées à gauche, et qu'on est loin de vouloir en faire la critique malgré les exemples qui s'accumulent.

Pourtant, l'extrait pose beaucoup de questions :
1) Déontologiques : les journalistes qui "enquêtent" prennent CLAIREMENT parti. L'article est 100% à charge et elles ne gardent que les témoins / éléments / citations qui vont dans leur sens.
2) Morales : un million de reproches me sont faits pour des discussions trolls entre amis, alors que la ligne éditoriale PUBLIQUE du journal (notamment sur l'antiracisme, le sionisme, l'impérialisme) est loin d'être clean.

„Wir gegen Die“–Das ist das Herzstück des Videos von #AfD-Mann #UlrichSiegmund. Er behauptet,Geld für „Integrationslotsen“ würde Rentnern und Kindern fehlen.

#Siegmund macht sich lustig: Lotsen würden „mit Asylbewerbern einkaufen gehen“. Die Realität: Es geht um die Vermittlung von Sprache & Unterstützung im Alltag. Wer Integration als „Bringschuld“ fordert, darf nicht die Leute bekämpfen, die genau diese Regeln vermitteln! (2/5)
Besonders perfide: #Siegmund nennt ehrenamtliche Hilfe „Blödsinn“. Fakt ist: Diese Menschen sparen dem Steuerzahler Millionen! Sie füllen die Lücken, die staatliche Bürokratie lässt. Wer das Ehrenamt diskreditiert, greift das Fundament unserer Zivilgesellschaft an. (3/5)

Iran has hammered the UAE. Now Abu Dhabi is striking back — covertly, decisively, and without a word publicly.
Some reports even suggest UAE special forces may be on the ground in Iran.

2/ The backdrop? Iran turned the UAE into its #1 target.
The UAE didn't even join the war! Yet hundreds of Iranian missiles and drones slammed into its airports, seaports, apartment buildings, hotels, and energy sites.
UAE air defenses knocked down most — but Iran's attacks continued.

This is Dr. Alexander Wunsch.
A German physician and photobiology researcher who has studied light's effects on health for 30+ years.
His message? Both the mainstream & the biohackers are wrong about sunlight.
Here is his framework: 🧵
A German physician and photobiology researcher who has studied light's effects on health for 30+ years.
His message? Both the mainstream & the biohackers are wrong about sunlight.
Here is his framework: 🧵
1/ Two opposing models dominate the sunlight conversation today.
Thesis: Mainstream dermatology / WHO policy — avoid sunlight. UV causes cancer. Block it.
Antithesis: The biohacker position — sun is always good. You cannot get enough. Maximize it.
Wunsch: "Both positions are not correct. The truth lies in the golden middle between these two extremes.”
“There is a dire need for synthesis.”

Wunsch: "Both positions are not correct. The truth lies in the golden middle between these two extremes.”
“There is a dire need for synthesis.”
2/ The synthesis: Sun is only healthy when diligently dosed and used.
Neither avoidance nor maximization is correct.
According to Wunsch, the biohacker position was a necessary overcorrection.
When a population spends 95% of its life indoors in biological darkness, a loud voice saying "get more sun" was needed.
But according to Wunsch this is not the truth. It replaces one error with another.

Hilarious to see Mendel addressing Putin like some Putin loving Russian influencer could, as if he can start caring for civilians . Killing , raping and torturing civilians has been always Russian army’s strategy, sometimes with explisit orders. Orders, and cruelty.
Here Russian soldier just casually says how they killed civilians in during invasion in Kyiv region in 2022, and how he didn’t know why and he didn’t ask and clearly didn’t care. He also shares how they were ordered to kill anyone in black clothes , and they did.
This BBC piece is about torture chamber in Kherson - Russian army create one everywhere they go. ‘On 3rd floor men would beat us, on 1st floor was electrocution. When person is being tortured with electricity you hear it, it’s a peculiar sound’ Angels says.She spent 31 days there
Scientists took a scalpel and SEVERED a rat’s sciatic nerve completely.
BPC-157 regrew it.
New nerve fibers GREW across the gap. Thicker. Denser. The dead leg started WORKING again.
(PMID: 19903499)
Then they did something worse…
They CRUSHED a rat’s spinal cord. One injection of BPC-157. They watched for 360 days. The rat recovered function.
(PMID: 31266512)
Right now something is dying inside you:
→ numbness spreading through your fingers
→ tingling burning down your leg every night
→ sciatica so bad you can’t sit
→ dead patches where feeling never came back
Your neurologist said “permanent.” Your gabapentin numbs the pain for 8 hours and does NOTHING for the nerve underneath.
BPC-157 is a 15-amino-acid peptide your stomach already makes. It doesn’t numb damage. It regrows what died.
The nerve study isn’t even the most insane part. Keep reading.

Was war denn die Erwartungshaltung von Friedrich Merz und seiner Gefolgschaft? Er geht nach gefühlt 50 Wohlfühlterminen bei Bänkern, Vermögensverwaltern und Versicherungsvertretern mal vor eine Menge, die unbequem für ihn sein könnte, und dann wird rumgeheult. Eigentlich nur ein
Ausdruck über seine Äußerungen und Reformideen, die sich seit Monaten in den Umfragen niederschlagen. Das sieht auch jeder, außer der grölenden Berliner Journalisten- und Ökonomenbubble, die denken, dass die Leute nur abstrakte „Reformen“ wollen.
Kaum ein Mensch freut sich über Ideen wie Karenztage bei Krankheit, gelockerten Kündigungsschutz, ein geringes Rentenniveau, längere Lebensarbeitszeit, höhere Wochenarbeitszeit und das noch mit den wirklich warmen und empathischen Worten (Vorsicht Ironie!) von Friedrich Merz.

SureThing dropped SOTA on LongMemEval.
88.0% overall. 91.0% knowledge update. 76.7% single-session preference.
Number one across every category that actually matters.
Then their own AI walked up to the screen and started explaining the whole thing itself.
Nobody asked it to.

Two separate systems pmretending to be one.
@getsurething threw that model out completely.
The memory IS the computation. Fully fused. One architecture, not two bolted together.
That's the difference. That's why the numbers look the way they do.

Good women are to be dangerous, but not in the same way as men.
A kingdom, a city, a household with a Biblical queen on the ramparts is a beacon of strength to her king, and a terrible visage to her enemies. And warfare requires more than weapons and soldiers.
Here are 11 ways to raise dangerous daughters.
1. Tell your daughters they are beautiful.
If your daughters don’t think they are beautiful, it’s your fault. They should hear this truth from their father often. Too many girls are crippled by insecurity, and an insecure girl will not grow up to be a dangerous woman.

This is more than just clothes and dress, but modesty is not less than that. A girl should not place her worth in how much attention she can attract. She has better things to focus on.

3. Teach your daughters to be quiet and gentle.
The world wants your daughters to be brash and abrasive. To speak loudly. To reach out and grab what is rightfully theirs like a toddler reaching for a cookie.
In refusing to be quiet and gentle, a woman is giving up a large source of her power. She is reaching for a weapon that she cannot wield, though it may feel good to pretend for a time.
