Immune system may take 18-24 months to recover after a Covid infection. Studies ended before full immune system recovery were known. Only way to tell is to get an immune panel.

Now that it's after July 4th, Covid rates will start to rise again. Summer vacations, airplane flights, Disney parks, Vegas, concerts, parties, etc. Happens every year.

Employees at Scientific American were told today that the magazine has been sold to LabX Media Group, the outfit that runs Discover Magazine and IFLScience. And that means -- of course! -- editorial layoffs. The media mass extinction rolls ever onward.

Recently a colleague left work midday because he was too sick. His desk is next to me although he was somewhere else most of the time. Grateful I still wear my N95.

Bad news: many kids under 8 never received the original Wuhan #COVID vaccines. Their immunity was shaped mostly by Omicron infections. New data suggest the "Cicada" variant (BA.3.2.2), now re-emerging in several countries, may be particularly good at evading those antibody responses.

Long Covid lasts up to 4.5 years, according to study that lasted 4.5 years. I see this study is a bit longer than the last one I looked at: Long Covid lasts up to 3 years, says study that lasted 3 years. Logical conclusion: SARS-CoV-2 causes permanent damage, needs eradication. #CovidIsNotOver

In January, Zohran Mamdani took action against bankrupt landlord Pinnacle, which was responsible for over 5,000 housing violations. Thanks to his intervention, Pinnacle's new owners have forgiven millions in tenants' back rent. This is what governing for the people looks like.

Rare “White Auroras” spotted over Norway.🤩

"Something remarkable happened in April. For the first time in history, wind and solar generated more electricity than gas across the entire planet. Not in a country. Not in a region. Globally." Tons of great news here from Danny Kennedy (via @billmckibben.bsky.social's newsletter, which rules).

Hundreds of thousands of Albanians have been protesting for over a week to revolt against their corrupt govt as well as criminal slumlord traitor Jared Kushner and Crimestress Ivanka for plotting to seize their land. Americans could learn a thing or two on how it’s done.

1. Remember that any attempt to paint Long Covid as psychogenic in nature deliberately and completely incorrectly biologically decouples SARS-CoV-2 infection from Long Covid. In essence, this rhetoric shifts the causative factor for LC from the virus to the patient's mind.

If only someone could figure out how to make milk safe to drink! It'd be such a big deal the process would be named after them.

Especially heinous given that bad dental health can have a catastrophic effect on overall health. Cardiac health can be tied to dental health.

Wow, never thought I'd see the day that a public health department names one of the main risk factors for stroke: Viral infection, including SARS CoV 2 and influenza. Bonus: They even recommend masking! And cleaning the air! 😃 #CovidIsntOver #MedSky #LongCovid #MaskUp

Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft are all planning huge layoffs. Amazon got $17.5B in federal tax breaks last year. Jeff Bezos is worth $270B. Meta saved $13.7B in taxes. Mark Zuckerberg is worth $210B. Microsoft saved $12.5B last year. Its CEO is worth $1.3B. This is what a rigged economy looks like.

The count on you being exhausted by the firehose of corruption and bullshit. But THIS. THIS is grounds to march on DC and demand the END of this mafia administration. This is the biggest middle finger to America.

Another indicator of poorer health in the general public is local sports leagues. California has a loose system of funneling kids to the professional sports leagues as well as organizing intramural adult leagues. Number of active people is definitely shrinking.

I’ve been a donor since I was 18 - if anyone is curious but nervous, happy to chat about the process. Long Covid means I currently cannot donate. Fingers crossed for the future. I miss it, it was the simplest way I could contribute to society, even during periods when I was broke.

A 2025 peer-reviewed study showed unvaccinated women with prior #SARS-CoV-2 infection in 2020 face markedly higher risks of HPV-related cancers 3 years later: 67% for cervical, 131% vaginal, 98% vulvar, 92% anal, and 78% oropharyngeal invasive cancer. #LongCOVID #COVID --> #cancer #medsky

"Immune Cell Tied to Long COVID Fatigue Found" Scientists used single-cell analysis to study immune cells and inflammation signals in Long COVID patients. They found clear immune differences linked to how severe the initial infection was, helping explain ongoing symptoms. #LongCOVID

CD14 implicated

The US is spending more than $1 trillion on the military for the first time in history. That apparently isn't enough. Now, the Pentagon wants $200 billion more for an illegal war in Iran. The answer is NO. We need to invest in the American people, not endless war.

Taking care of business. We need to do this and move on.

The dumbest fuck on the planet is President of the United States.
