The #genocide committed by #Israel in #Gaza continues.
Here's what "Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part" means, there:
1.9 million people displaced, 90% of the population
84% of Gaza now under evacuation orders
745,000 people facing emergency levels of food insecurity, including 495,000 facing an extreme lack (#famine).
995,000 people suffering from acute #respiratory #infections, 577,000 with acute watery diarrhea
20 out of 36 #hospitals out of service
21 more military strikes against schools that serve as shelters, since July 1st; as of today, 85% of all school buildings directly hit or damaged
65% of the road network damaged
In August, one third of all humanitarian #missions applied for from Israel have been declined, so far
66% of all #cropland and 33% of the #greenhouse area are damaged, 60-70% of all #livestock has been killed or prematurely slaughtered
This is what you get when a single nation like the #US has the power to protect the openly genocidal government of #Israel under #Netanyahu from any consequences.
You might consider donating to #UNICEF, to save toddlers and kids in #Gaza, rather than seeing your hard-earned money burned for video clips in support of #KamalaHarris - who nodded through another $20 billion weapons package for Israel, only days ago.

The #genocide committed by #Israel in #Gaza seems to be "unreal" and abstract for many.

The #cold-inducible #RNA-binding #protein RBM3 stabilises viral #mRNA at the cooler #temperatures of the upper #respiratory tract, BioRxIV: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.07.25.605104v1
These data suggest a role for RBM3 in supporting #influenza virus replication in the nasopharyngeal tract. Understanding IAV replication in this environment could prove fundamental to elucidating the mechanisms of influenza #transmission and #reassortment.

New Study: #FossilFuels Disproportionately Impact #Black, #Brown, #Indigenous, and #Poor Communities Throughout The Supply Chain
#CarbonOffsets, #CapAndTrade, #CCS and Other “#CarbonCentric” Policies Fail to Mitigate Air and Water #Pollution
by Tyler Kruse
June 5, 2023"The study concludes that policies solely focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions without reducing fossil fuel usage could fail to reduce local air and water pollution, fail to alleviate public health harms, and end up perpetuating the racially inequitable impacts of the fossil fuel economy.
WASHINGTON DC (June 5, 2023)–"A new peer-reviewed study details the risks of President Biden’s support for expanded fossil fuel production and exports. Despite campaign promises to take on fossil fuels, Biden has approved massive extraction projects and allowed a surge of crude and LNG exports. Against the backdrop of attacks on environmental justice in Congress – including the recent rollbacks to NEPA in the Fiscal Responsibility Act – and the Supreme Court’s undercutting of the Clean Water Act, the study titled 'Fossil fuel racism in the United States: How phasing out coal, oil, and gas can protect communities' finds that fossil fuels impose unfair and unjust health harms on Black, Brown, Indigenous and poor communities.
"The study identifies the public health harms as well as the disproportionate impacts on communities at each stage of the #coal, #oil, and #gas lifecycles – #extraction, processing, transport, and combustion. It was authored by experts from Greenpeace USA, Salem State University, and Taproot Earth and published in Energy Research & Social Science.
"The publication draws from 200+ academic studies which reveal a consistent pattern: fossil fuel pollution is associated with #asthma, birth complications, #cancer, #respiratory disease, heart conditions, and premature mortality. Black, Brown, Indigenous, and poor communities bear a disproportionate burden of these harms. These same communities are hit hardest by the impacts of the climate crisis.
"Additionally, the study concludes that policies solely focused on reducing #GreenhouseGas emissions without reducing fossil fuel usage could fail to reduce local air and water pollution, fail to alleviate public health harms, and end up perpetuating the racially inequitable impacts of the fossil fuel economy. Black, Asian, Hispanic or Latino, and low-income populations already have an elevated burden of exposure to air pollutants that can harm the respiratory system known as PM2.5, a pattern that is consistent across nearly all emission source types. Poorly designed climate policies could concentrate this pollution in community 'hotspots' even as overall carbon emissions decline.
"Dr. Tim Donaghy, research manager at Greenpeace USA and a co-author of the report, said: 'Fossil fuels harm both the climate and our health and must be phased out as fast as possible. But if our climate policies only focus on reducing carbon, we are missing an opportunity to greatly improve health in impacted communities. Carbon-centric policies being pushed by the oil and gas industry won’t alleviate fossil fuel racism and could worsen it for communities who already bear the brunt of the industry’s pollution. A better approach is to shift the focus to the root cause of both carbon and pollution, which are fossil fuels themselves. Policymakers should explicitly mitigate air and water pollution, advance #EnvironmentalJustice, and meaningfully include historically targeted communities in climate policy-making and implementation.”
"Noel Healy, professor of Geography and Sustainability at Salem State University and co-author of the report, said: 'Alarmingly, Biden is approving new #drilling at a faster rate than the Trump administration. This includes approving '#CarbonBombs' at the #AlaskaWillow and the #LNGAlaskaProject, and recently breaking a major G7 climate promise by financing an #Indonesian #OilRefinery. Continued approval of harmful and #Extractive fossil fuel licenses is a catastrophic climate and public health failure.'
"The study argues that #SystemicRacism enables the fossil fuel industry to avoid paying the true cost of its pollution by passing it on to communities of color. It identifies fossil fuel racism as a subset of environmental racism characterized by the disproportionate and racialized effects of climate change, fossil fuel extraction, transportation, processing, and consumption on Black, Brown, Indigenous, and poor populations.
"The fossil fuel industry is fueling a public health crisis that disproportionately affects communities of color and low-income communities. Healy said: 'We can tackle the #ClimateCrisis, improve public health, and confront systemic racism by phasing out fossil fuels and enacting a #GreenNewDeal.'
"The study makes the following recommendations:
- The U.S. should implement a managed phase out of fossil fuel production to drive absolute pollution reductions in ‘#SacrificeZones’ and to align our policy with 1.5°C pathways.
- Enact a Green New Deal to halt climate change and build a more just and regenerative economy.
- Protect and expand democratic spaces."#EnvironmentalRacism #BigOilAndGas #WaterIsLife #CorporateColonialism

It is important to note… "Use of #antibacterial soap showed little added benefit compared with use of nonantibacterial #soap."
Take home: There is NO need to add antibacterial agents to soap for basic #InfectionControl at home or in public places. More important that that you "just DO it" [wash your hands] than choosing a brand/formula of soap.
…and...
"Hand hygiene is clearly effective against #gastrointestinal and, to a lesser extent, #respiratory infections."
Take home: This makes sense! #GI #infections are typically "fecal/oral" (I don't have to go into what that means!). The hands are the most likely route of infection. Wash them!
#Influenza can be transmitted by touching surfaces. #COVID19 less so. So again the above makes sense.
Hope this Helps!
