Day 10 of 3x-Pfizer-vaxxed #COVID19 breakthrough case. Still testing faintly +ve. I analyzed all nine of my rapid antigen tests w/ ImageJ & plotted the ratio of the area of sample to the area of control. Saw a linear relationship (R2=0.99) from day 2-10:
Here are the images. I converted each image to B&W, imported them to ImageJ, & used Analyze > Gels function to quantify the areas for the Control and Sample bands. Then plotted the ratio vs hour after symptoms started (see above).

Symptoms started morning of 12.19.21. I tested +ve by antigen test the same day.
Today is 12.28.21. I’m *still* testing +ve by rapid antigen test today (though line is definitely fainter than previous tests).
No symptoms in five days.
(Note: I updated my numbering labels to start on day 0 instead of day 1. So that makes today day 9.)

I often hear senior male scientists griping about how Lynn Margulis’ 1967 endosymbiotic theory was actually first proposed by the Russian botanist Konstantin Mereschkowski 60 years prior, and therefore she shouldn’t get so much credit for it. /thread
If you want to make that argument, you have to acknowledge many other theories first proposed by someone else (in multiple cases, by a Russian, in the late 1800s/early 1900s) later expanded upon by a Western White man in English, which are rarely criticized for originality.

The latest on #FfAME fiasco. Without ever agreeing to do this, nor ever even being asked, my name was added to OoL program.Unbelievable. Here’s a screenshot of the new program and an email telling me I was going to appear for this. #YAMMM@templeton_fdntempletonorigins.ffame.org/OriginsConfere…
