Eventually what used to give @elonmusk the greatest pleasure, opening up Twitter on his phone, will be a source of excruciating pain, writes @schwarz. https://t.co/u5jwi1WzSY — PolitiTweet.org
The Intercept @theintercept
New @intercepted: @schwarz is joined by @kenklippenstein, @DRBoguslaw, and @Claudia_Sahm to break down the Federal Reserve’s role in the economy and how its actions are raising unemployment. https://t.co/5BM59V6vYe — PolitiTweet.org

President Joe Biden, unlike Donald Trump, has declined to publicly criticize the Fed, saying after it began hiking rates earlier this year that he would “respect the Fed’s independence.” https://t.co/fwS54uAzPp — PolitiTweet.org

The Department of Homeland Security is quietly broadening its efforts to curb speech it considers dangerous, an investigation by The Intercept has found. https://t.co/5uhSd7QAlt — PolitiTweet.org
The Intercept @theintercept
After more than four years of obfuscating its involvement in the bombing, the Dutch Ministry of Defense agreed to provide a fund of 4.4 million euros to Hawija. But this money does not seem to have reached the survivors who need it the most. https://t.co/sebY2vVkY0 — PolitiTweet.org
The Intercept @theintercept
Lab biosafety is being discussed by @WHO and the White House, and @NIH is reevaluating its oversight of potential pandemic pathogens, like H5N1. Documents obtained by The Intercept support claims that current oversight is inconsistent and incomplete. https://t.co/dxbeC8gQ7k — PolitiTweet.org

“Eight days before Election Day, they are spending thousands to elect an extremist anti-choice, insurrectionist-aligned Republican.” https://t.co/akAjTpOi0v — PolitiTweet.org

Despite Republican claims of inaction, President Joe Biden has presided over the removal of nearly 2 million people, and migrants continue to die in record numbers crossing his supposedly open border, writes @rdevro. https://t.co/jhdRrHZ3LD — PolitiTweet.org

“The United States has a special responsibility when it comes to oversight and getting it right. It is a leader in a lot of this research, and it’s where most of this research takes place,” said Filippa Lentzos, an expert on biosecurity and biological threats at @KingsCollegeLon. — PolitiTweet.org
The Intercept @theintercept
The agency’s reaction to the accidents was more extreme than in any other instance examined by The Intercept. — PolitiTweet.org
The Intercept @theintercept
“NIH has significant concerns regarding the biosafety practices associated with both of the recent incidents,” two agency officials wrote in one letter. They threatened to “institute enforcement action(s),” including suspending or terminating Kawaoka’s grant. — PolitiTweet.org
The Intercept @theintercept
In letters obtained by The Intercept, staff at a funding agency accused @UWMadison of shirking biosafety precautions that Kawaoka had promised to adopt. They also demanded changes to the university’s protocol for accidental lab exposures. — PolitiTweet.org
The Intercept @theintercept
Then, months later, Kawaoka’s lab saw two accidents involving lab-generated flu viruses, just one week apart. — PolitiTweet.org
The Intercept @theintercept
In early 2013, flu scientists ended their voluntary pause, arguing that when the research was done at enhanced biosafety level 3, the benefits outweighed the risks. — PolitiTweet.org
The Intercept @theintercept
The backlash was so severe that in 2012, Kawaoka, Fouchier, and other prominent flu scientists voluntarily agreed to pause the transmissibility work. — PolitiTweet.org
The Intercept @theintercept
In 2011, it emerged that Ron Fouchier, of @ErasmusMC in Rotterdam, and another scientist, Yoshihiro Kawaoka of the @UWMadison, had separately tweaked the H5N1 virus in a way that made it spread more easily in ferrets. https://t.co/6jxWhB10BU — PolitiTweet.org
The Intercept @theintercept
NIH guidelines say that only people exposed through their respiratory tract or mucous membranes need to be isolated in a dedicated facility, rather than at home. But some experts contend that the protocols governing research with the most dangerous pathogens should be stronger. — PolitiTweet.org
The Intercept @theintercept
The researcher squeezed blood out of the wound, washed it with an ethanol solution, showered, and left the lab. A doctor gave him a flu shot and prescribed him Tamiflu. Then, after checking that he lived alone, a Mount Sinai administrator sent him home to quarantine for a week. — PolitiTweet.org
The Intercept @theintercept
The flu is typically transmitted through respiratory droplets, and an animal bite is unlikely to infect a scientist. But with a virus as devastating as 1918 flu, scientists are not supposed to take any chances. — PolitiTweet.org
The Intercept @theintercept
The Friday afternoon before Labor Day in 2011, a researcher at @MountSinaiNYC was in a Manhattan lab when a ferret — inoculated with 1918 influenza — bit hard enough to pierce through two pairs of gloves, breaking the skin of his thumb. https://t.co/7qMfmuGJWx — PolitiTweet.org
The Intercept @theintercept
At @WUSTL, the accident went unreported for four days. In other cases, accidents went unreported for months or even years, either because the affected researchers stayed quiet or because staff overlooked the incidents. — PolitiTweet.org
The Intercept @theintercept
The United States has the most robust biomedical funding in the world, and controversial breakthroughs in science often come from American labs. Yet the U.S. lacks a central framework for lab oversight. — PolitiTweet.org
The Intercept @theintercept
Critics say that even a few laboratory-related infections is too many, because often they are avoidable. — PolitiTweet.org
The Intercept @theintercept
Needlesticks, as scientists call needle injuries, were for decades seen as rare. When they did happen, they were believed to rarely lead to infection. Only recently have biosafety experts begun to challenge those assumptions. — PolitiTweet.org
The Intercept @theintercept
Four days later, she ran a fever, and her body ached and convulsed in chills. She tested positive for Chikungunya, which means “bent over in pain” in the Makonde language. Only after getting sick did the student tell her supervisor about the slipped needle. — PolitiTweet.org
The Intercept @theintercept
In September 2016, a needle slipped and pierced through a @WUSTL graduate student’s two sets of gloves. But the student saw no blood, so she washed her hands and left the lab without reporting the accident. — PolitiTweet.org
The Intercept @theintercept
“People have it in their minds that lab accidents are very, very rare, and if they happen, they happen only in the least well-run overseas labs. That simply isn’t true,” said @R_H_Ebright, a molecular biologist at Rutgers University. — PolitiTweet.org
