1454184147929509902 | Unvaccinated people who had previously recovered from a coronavirus infection were five times as likely to get Covid as people who had received both shots of the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccines. Story by @benjmueller https://t.co/pOk0XlDTe9 | 763 |

1494331192706940936 | Now that a strong association between the Epstein-Barr virus and multiple sclerosis has emerged from epidemiology, scientists may have found the link: antibodies against viral proteins also react against proteins made by glial cells in the brain. https://t.co/GVN9pYCLQU | 338 |

1433172506236571651 | I didn't think these fungi, which turn insects into zombies, could be any more remarkable. Turns out I was wrong.
