“In conclusion, COVID-19 is not just a transient infection but a catalyst for long-term genomic disruption, leaving behind a trail of cellular damage that may shape the health of survivors for years to come.

1/ Respiratory protection (including respirators) The Canadian Standards Association (CSA) has released CSA Z94.4, a draft revision of its standard on respirators and respiratory protection. For the first time they are including healthcare settings in the new draft standard.

Due to the ongoing U.S. measles outbreak, a Texas man worried that his young son was at risk and took him to get vaccinated. The cost of the shot? $1,400.

Millions with virus induced chronic illness have experienced this for years, decades, lifetimes. Many without the treatments and further diagnoses mentioned 👇If believed, longCovid would have far more solutions. We must ensure they’re not sidelined again now these issues are coming to light

If 4.9 million kids with asthma is a national health priority, what does it mean when 5.8 million have Long Covid? Why is the #1 chronic condition in children being ignored?

After abandoning every mitigation and infecting kids repeatedly, our media wants to know: why do so many children have Long COVID? My latest looks at the newest research, the comforting lies that just won't die, and how we got here: www.thegauntlet.news/p/long-covid...

One day we will be able to at least estimate how much harm was done by the fact that medical politics puts protecting senior insiders so far ahead of protecting kids - even in pediatrics. I can't imagine being able to sleep at night if I were one of the big shots who pulled the strings and did this.

Healthspan: 'The Mitochondrial Signature of Long COVID: What PRDX3 Is Trying to Tell Us—And How We Might Reverse It' 'One of the most compelling new biomarkers...is peroxiredoxin-3 (PRDX3), a mitochondrial antioxidant enzyme found at elevated levels..' gethealthspan.com/science/arti...

Could Netflix or Prime please stream all seasons of West Wing? Does anybody else have a strong craving to be inspired by politicians, capable of stringing together, intelligent and complete sentences? Please bring back President Bartlett in 2025. Thank you!

Holy shiitake! Trump fired Shira Perlmutter, the Director of the US Copyrights Office apparently because she refused to let Elon Musk raid the place to steal author’s intellectual property rights democrats-cha.house.gov/media/press-...

Contrary to misinformation claiming public health leaders couldn't have known about long COVID when they decided to let COVID rip, it was a known risk from the start. The Public Health Agency of Canada even briefed CMOH across Canada on the risk in July 2020. protectnb.ca/rti/SAC%20up...

ICYMI in the avalanche of news, evidence is mounting that Shingles vaccination has some protective benefit against Alzheimer’s Disease, strengthening the hypothesis that reactivated herpes viruses play a role in some forms of dementia. www.cnn.com/2024/07/30/h...

I don’t think there’s much that could have brought the omicron R close to 1. I don’t know what it’s R0 is but it must be around 12-15 (measles level).

Why do I still have people expressing shock to me that 1 in 19 people in Canada are currently infected with COVID? And it’s medical people. It’s not their fault. Why isn’t this in the media at all? In workplace updates? This is insane.

In 2021, I gave testimony and evidence under oath in an Ontario courtroom that COVID was airborne and thus we need to take airborne precautions. The other side's expert was a doctor from Public Health Ontario who argued the opposite. I will never stop retelling this story.

Pfizer produces the Covid treatment Paxlovid for $13. They’re charging $1390 for it. Pfizer donated $5.7 million to members of Congress since Covid began to get government contracts and keep drug prices high. Price gouging is legal because our campaign finance laws are broken.

I am stunned that Professor John Edmunds’ revelation at #CovidInquiry this week that much of the loss of 20,000-25,000 lives in Autumn 2020 could have been avoided if Boris Johnson had listened to scientific advice is NOT headline news and front cover of every news outlet in UK.
