Facebook Lifts Ban on Posts Claiming COVID-19 Is Man-made

Facebook is no longer removing posts claiming the coronavirus’ origins are man made.

In light of ongoing investigations into the origin of COVID-19 and in consultation with public health experts, we will no longer remove the claim that COVID-19 is man-made from our apps

Facebook lifts ban on posts claiming COVID-19 was man-made, amid revitalized origins debate

President Biden has ordered U.S intelligence agencies to “redouble their efforts” investigating the origins of COVID-19. U.S intelligence has not said one way or the other rather they definitively think COVID-19 was man-made.

The World Health Organization has said further investigation was needed to determine the virus’s origin.

Research Shows the Effects of Climate Change on Animals

Chemicals in our environment are a major cause of infertility problems in both humans and animals, but recent data shows that climate change is another looming threat to fertility.

Males of some species can become infertile at temperatures much lower than the maximum temperature they are able to endure for survival. A species survival is more dependent on the temperature at which it becomes infertile rather than the temperature it can survive.|

Researchers examined 43 species of flies. They examined the temperature lethal for 80% of the flies, and the temperature at which 80% of males become infertile.

Researchers found that 11 of the 43 species suffered loss in fertility at cooler than lethal temperatures immediately after heat stress. The effect of infertility continued to get worse after seven days. After seven days 19 out of 43 species suffered infertility at cooler than lethal temperatures.

These fertility responses are crucial to species survival. A separate study led by one author of this article, using simulated climate change in the laboratory, showed experimental populations of the same flies become extinct not because they can’t survive the heat, but because the males become infertile. Species from tropical rainforests were the first to succumb to extinction.

Fly infertility shows we’re underestimating how badly climate change harms animals

Too-high temperatures have also been shown to affect fertilization in corals, cows, pigs, fish and birds.




Feds Say Employers May Require Workers to Get Vaccinated Against Covid

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has released new guidance stating that employers are now allowed to require workers to get a COVID-19 vaccine prior to returning to work.

Employers must provide “reasonable accommodations” for workers unwilling or unable to get the shot due to pregnancy, disability, or religious reasons. This could mean requiring unvaccinated workers to wear masks or work remotely.

The EEOC has also stated employers could offer workers incentives for getting the vaccine, as long as the incentive is “not so substantial as to be coercive”. Bolthouse Farms has begun giving vaccinated employees $500 as a bonus. Dollar General is offering an extra four hours of pay for employees who can prove they’ve been vaccinated.

In the months since the vaccines have become widely available, some workers have been blindsided by their bosses’ demands to get inoculated. “It was shocking to me,” Bonnie Jacobson told The Post after losing her waitress job in Brooklyn in February. “I went through the stages: I’m hurt, I’m in shock — then I got mad.”

Feds say employers can require workers to get COVID vaccine

None of the COVID-19 shots are FDA approved, they have only been authorized for emergency use. A little more than half (51%) of Americans have been vaccinated against the coronavirus according to the CDC. A recent survey of employers by Arizona State University said 88% of employers would encourage their workers to get vaccinated and six in 10 planned to demand proof.

Recent Poll Shows One in Four Unvaccinated People Not Continue to Wear a Mask Indoors

As of mid-May, the CDC has said that fully vaccinated people no longer have to wear a mask indoors in most settings, like grocery stores. According to the guidelines, those who are unvaccinated are supposed to continue wearing a mask.

A recent survey, however, shows that as many as 1 in 4 unvaccinated people may go without a mask in settings where they are supposed to according to the CDC. Just over 50% of Americans are fully vaccinated against the coronavirus.

About 1 in 5, or 21%, reported that they had not received a COVID-19 vaccine and do not plan to do so. In addition, more than one-quarter (26%) of that 21%, equivalent to about 5% of the total set of respondents, also said that they plan to not wear a mask in indoor spaces like stores and restaurants.

1 in 4 unvaccinated people may not comply with CDC guidelines to wear masks indoors, survey suggests

In theory, and according to the CDC those who are vaccinated against the coronavirus shouldn’t be worried about catching the coronavirus from unvaccinated people. Despite this, many vaccinated people still plan to continue wearing a mask in indoor public settings.




Poll Shows Many People Would be Willing to Pay More for Greener Farming

Researchers asked 600 Finnish citizens what they would be willing to pay to ensure your food was coming from farms that promote biodiversity and mitigate climate change.

Results from the survey showed that an overwhelming 79% of participants would be willing to pay more for food that was sustainably farmed. The majority of participants reported they would be willing to pay a monthly sum of 16 Euros, or 228 Euros a year. This amounts to 245 Euros per hectare of Finnish farmland a year.

Currently, citizens pay 160 Euros a year in annual government subsidies for each hectare of organic farmland in Finland.

Of the 21% who said they would not pay more for diversified cropping, half of those said they were unable to afford the added cost.

Ultimately, a system that relies on consumers to pay for more sustainable agriculture shouldn’t impoverish people, or create a hierarchy where only those who can afford it get good quality food. 

A lot of people may be willing to loosen their purse strings to subsidize greener farming

Monocrop farming is becoming more common practice in Finland and all around the world. Monocrop farming can lead to a decline in soil quality and biodiversity as well as causing other problems. Diverse cropping on the other hand, can increase carbon sequestration in the soil, boost biodiversity, introduce new pollinators into the environment, and promote an increase in food production.




Research Shows the Pandemic Has Fueled a Surge in Eating Disorders

Doctors are seeing a surge in eating disorders across the country as people try to cope with the stress and anxiety induced by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Jennifer Wildes, an associate psychiatry professor and director of outpatient eating disorders program at the University of Chicago Medicine says she’s “absolutely seeing massive increases”.

Patients are waiting four to five months for treatment when the wait for treatment prior to the pandemic was usually only a few weeks. Wildes’ program is treating about 100 patients currently, nearly double from before the pandemic.

Other programs are experiencing a similar problem. Jillian Lampert with The Emily Program has reported that her daily calls have nearly doubled since 2019.

The Alliance for Eating Disorders Awareness, which started offering virtual therapist-led support groups for adults during the pandemic, has also seen a surge. Since January more than 7,000 people from every state and 32 countries have attended their support groups, said alliance CEO Johanna Kandel.

Doctors are seeing an increase in cases across the board, meaning all races and ages. Eating disorders are more common among women than men. Stress and anxiety are common catalysts for eating disorders. Many people have experienced more stress and anxiety in the last year.




CDC Investigates a Link Between mRNA Covid Vaccine and Myocarditis

The CDC is investigating whether the mRNA Covid-19 vaccine could be linked to recent cases of myocarditis, inflammation of the heart muscle.

Around a dozen cases of myocarditis have been reported after receiving the vaccine although the CDC has not yet found a link. It will likely take the CDC weeks or months to determine if there is a link.

There aren’t any known long-term effects from mild cases. During the CDC investigation, they’ll be looking for more potential cases and whether any other factors could have caused the condition.

The cases generally occurred within four days of receiving the second dose of the vaccine and were most common in young and adolescent men.
