Biodiversity decline will require millions of years to recover
If biodiversity continues to decline in freshwater environments at the current rate - which is higher than the extinction event that killed off the dinosaurs – the damage may take millions of years to overcome.
Pfizer vaccine reprograms innate immune responses
Following vaccination, innate immune cells had a reduced response to.... – all ligands that play an important role in the immune response to viral infection.
In addition, the production of the anti-inflammatory cytokine ... was reduced in response to .... This also suggests a shift towards increased inflammatory responses to fungi following vaccination, say the researchers.
The researchers say that in combination with strong adaptive immune responses, the reprogramming of innate responses could either contribute to a more balanced inflammatory reaction to SARS-CoV-2 infection or a weakened innate immune response.
The effect of the BNT162b2 vaccination on innate immune responses could also interfere with the responses to other vaccinations, adds the team.

Brave New World
Now more than ever: Aldous Huxley's enduring masterwork must be read and understood by anyone concerned with preserving the human spirit
"A masterpiece. ... One of the most prophetic dystopian works." —Wall Street Journal
Aldous Huxley's profoundly important
classic of world literature, Brave New World is a searching vision of an unequal, technologically-advanced future where humans are genetically bred, socially indoctrinated, and pharmaceutically anesthetized to passively uphold an authoritarian ruling order–all at the cost of our freedom, full humanity, and perhaps also our souls. “A genius [who] who spent his life decrying the onward march of the Machine” (The New Yorker), Huxley was a man of incomparable talents: equally an artist, a spiritual seeker, and one of history’s keenest observers of human nature and civilization. Brave New World, his masterpiece.

🌍 Space debris is any human-made object orbiting the Earth that no longer serves a useful purpose. Scientists estimate that today there are about 500,000 pieces of space debris.
including fragments of rockets and satellites, as well as everyday items such as wrenches dropped during the construction of the International Space Station!
"Most likely because of this we are not allowed to travel to other planets."

Giant footprint found in South Africa
It is located near the town of Mpaluzi, close to the Swaziland border. It is estimated that the time when this imprint was left is at least 200 million years.
Geologists marveled at this giant footprint about 120 cm long. This may be one of the best evidence that giants existed on Earth in time immemorial. The fact that the footprint is now in the vertical plane is not surprising - this is due to the shift of tectonic plates.
