Infections could be the real cause of heart attacks.
Heart disease has long been blamed mostly on cholesterol, clogged arteries, and high blood pressure. But new research from Finland and the UK has revealed something shocking: hidden bacterial colonies may be quietly setting the stage for heart attacks.
Deep inside arterial plaques, scientists have found bacterial biofilms – sticky, gelatinous clusters that can lie dormant for decades. Protected from the immune system and antibiotics, they sit in silence until something wakes them up.
It could be a viral infection. It could be stress. But once activated, these bacteria trigger inflammation so severe that the plaque can rupture. The result? A sudden blood clot and, often, a heart attack.
Researchers detected the genetic fingerprints of oral bacteria inside the arteries of patients who had died suddenly and in those undergoing surgery for advanced atherosclerosis. In some cases, they even caught bacteria breaking free from the biofilm during a heart attack, with the immune system reacting in real time.
This discovery adds a new layer to our understanding of heart disease. If infections play a role, new diagnostics, treatments, and even vaccines might one day help prevent the world’s deadliest condition.

2 hours ago someone opened a 5x leveraged short on Crude Oil.
Now, G7 countries are considering releasing 400 million barrels of crude oil reserves.
Oil is down below $105 on the news.
Our whale is up $1mil+
Insider trading or just coincidence?

Americans now pay more for healthcare than housing.
The only solution to this is to legalize AI providing medical care in all 50 states
Doctors will certainly still be in the loop (similar to FSD) but this is the only solution that collapses the cost of care
Many lives will be saved.

When haidt did his research showing liberals are unable to predict what conservatives morality is, it wasn’t just things like explaining the conservative case against abortion, it was also things like “would you randomly kick a dog in the head.” Or “would you stick a pin into a random kid.”

HOW IRAN'S GOVERNMENT ACTUALLY WORKS
Iran mixes theocracy and democracy in a complicated system where the supreme leader holds the most power.
The supreme leader commands the armed forces, declares war and peace, and appoints heads of the judiciary, state media, military, and half the Guardian Council (who vet candidates for elected offices).
They're chosen by the Assembly of Experts, 88 Islamic clerics elected by the public, but those candidates are vetted by the Guardian Council, whose members are partly appointed by the supreme leader (it's circular).
Iran does have an elected president who handles day-to-day government and represents the country internationally, but the Guardian Council dismisses moderate candidates and there have been claims of vote rigging.
The supreme leader has no term limit and stands above all elected officials.
