#Syphilis Is Killing #Babies. The U.S. Government Is Failing to Stop the Disease From Spreading.

The only drug that treats syphilis during #pregnancy is in short supply.
Untreated, the #disease can pass to newborns, killing them or leaving them with disabilities. As cases rise sharply, the #government isn’t doing much to prevent shortages.
Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel says AI will help scientists understand "most diseases" in three to five years.
@Semafor quotes the executive: “The reason we still have people dying of cancer, people suffering from Alzheimer's, is we do not understand the fundamental biology of those diseases.”

This week's #NewBooks at the library: A toss-up of three different titles
- Having reviewed a biography about Edgar Allan Poe, I determined that Thomas Olive Mabbott's version, originally published by Belknap Press, is probably one of the more authoritative collections of Poe's work. I managed to find a 1979 hardback original of the first volume via eBay.
- I found a very affordable second-hand version of Cambridge University Press's Meteoroids: Sources of Meteors on Earth and Beyond in their Cambridge Planetary Science series.
- One more book from my employer's January clearance sale is Muhammad H. Zaman's Biography of Resistance: The Epic Battle Between People and Pathogens, published by Harper Wave.

" #KLM #flightAttendant hospitalised with suspected hantavirus"
Oh fuck
