How are we supposed to “Make America Healthy Again” if leaders keep undermining healthcare? Everything they’re doing moves us backward. Raising insurance premiums, shutting down rural hospitals, and making it harder to pursue healthcare degrees isn’t how you build a stronger, healthier country.

www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-con... The mayo clinic didn’t think herdimmunity via infection is likely either. As I said before, I think possibly many are confusing asymptomatic infections with immunity, because there is no testing going on.

That's how it always goes, a Democrat has to fix a Republican's mess.

This is very important because if we were reaching any state of hybrid or herdimmunity via infection that was more durable, why the need for vaccines every two months? They wouldn’t need that! The virus is mutating too fast to sustain that. So any immunity must come from vaccines because of post

Nobody has Long COVID, but everybody has brain fog, cognitive decline and memory loss. I talk about the overwhelming scientific evidence that COVID damages the brain, and the overwhelming social unwillingness to acknowledge it in my latest: www.thegauntlet.news/p/when-will-...

1. The intense and all-encompassing institutional and societal pushback seen in some countries against any intervention to mitigate the impacts of Covid-19, whether that be vaccines, or air filtration / purification, or masks, is not simply as a result of mandates or lockdowns.

Why has an intelligent and articulate woman wearing a mask and speaking at the UN provoked an aggressive response from some media outlets? Because her mask and her words have profoundly perturbed people at a deeply subconscious level. The nature of that perturbation is fear.

A few days out from #UNGA80, I wanted to reflect on the session we took part in and the media responses since. Mount Sinai was one of the 150 organizations that signed the global pledge to advocate for healthy indoor air. The event itself featured four panels of speakers who 1/

We love @politicsgirl.bsky.social, who was born in Canada, and is a naturalized US citizen. Hear her talk about her immigration story, and her fears for herself and other US immigrants. It’s not about the “criminals.” It’s about ANYONE Trump doesn’t think belongs in America. #demsabroad

As a wrestling fan & COVID informed person, what happened to Gresham impacted me more than any other wrestler affected by COVID Maybe bc of the detail & pic that he shared Sadly, I feel like most fans went 🤷‍♂️ Would’ve been prevented if ppl took COVID seriously instead of just following the gov’t

“We’ve collectively decided to pretend a vascular disease that attacks every organ in your body is basically a head cold. We’ve decided that forty percent of infections happening with zero symptoms is totally normal and fine...” #COVID

7/ It’s a system of collapse. And all because clean air was never treated as the baseline.

1/ We’re in peak surge. Across the US. The government tried to disappear the virus.

We hear in the press the virus is still mild. Such nonsense, it’s not your initial acute part but what comes after it. These risks last years…🧵

The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.

We were told most people get mild symptoms. Children aren’t impacted. It’s blatantly completely untrue. Long covid has overtaken asthma as a leading cause of chronic health in children. Children have been robbed of their health by this virus. Someone said to me yesterday ‘we have to live with it’ 🧵

S.C. lawmakers are preparing to ram a dangerous and extreme anti-abortion bill through the legislative process starting October 1 with a specially called Senate subcommittee meeting. We call on lawmakers to abandon this egregious attack on our autonomy, privacy, speech, and safety.

“Don’t blame people.” Sorry — I will. Every cough uncovered. Every vote for denial. Every shrug at “just a cold.” These choices compound. That’s how millions get sick.

Public health failed. But people weaponized that failure. Coughers in rooms. Sick kids sent to school. Bosses demanding sick workers show up. “Just following orders” isn’t a defense.

A fascinating new preprint w/one very unexpected finding suggests, I believe, that a large proportion of Long Covid may be due to chronic infection in a particular bodily niche, which could be crucial for finding effective LC treatments. It requires some explaining. 🧵 1/33

Good.

Kids get Long Covid. Kids die at 4× the rate of flu from acute infection (that 7–10 days you felt sick, didn’t test, went back to work, and spread it). LC has no cure. 1 in 3 risk lasting damage. LC can & will destroy lives. Probably yours & your kids’ if you don’t utilize airborne protections.

Ignorance might be bliss, but at most, only in the short term. “By not knowing if you've had Covid, you absolutely will not connect any subsequent new-onset chronic health issues you experience to the 'cold' or 'flu' you had previously. And neither will a doctor.”

Covid no longer kills you in two weeks, unfortunately it does damage your brain, arteries, and immune system. Puts you at risk for stroke, heart attack , an aggressive cancers. It literally is the perfect predator because most of humanity thinks it is just a cold now.

I like to wistfully remember perhaps imaginary days when something like “COVID infections double the risk of metastatic cancer” would’ve made the front page—or at least warranted a mention SOMEWHERE in the news. Ah, the good old (perhaps imaginary) days…

Hmmmmm.... Only your red blood cells don't have mitochondria. Think about it 👁👁‼️ www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

I think the vast majority of people understandably can’t believe both 1) a virus communicable thru the air can lead to or exacerbate Alzheimer’s, diabetes, Parkinson’s, heart attacks & strokes, & much more, and 2) that the government would allow it to freely circulate & lie to them about it. #COVID

Why do elite athletes—who train relentlessly for a mental & physical edge—ignore a virus that literally destroys both? SARS-CoV-2 impairs cognition, damages the heart, shrinks gray matter, and attacks mitochondria. So why the denial? Let’s talk psychology. 🧵

If you need a resource to send to family and friends to try and enlighten them about the dangers of COVID, this is a terrific, comprehensive one that’s still regularly updated. Thank you so much for this, @durianliftoff.bsky.social.

The EPA is preparing a proposal that would revoke a critical 2009 legal determination stating that greenhouse gases are harmful to human health. That finding has been the backbone of U.S. climate regulations for over a decade.

Something to keep in mind: “These findings suggest that SARS-CoV-2 infection damages the CD8+ T cell response, an effect akin to that observed in earlier studies showing long-term damage to the immune system after infection w/ viruses such as hepatitis C or HIV.” #COVID www.nih.gov/news-events/...

I am confident that COVID - like several other microbiota - can modify behaviour in ways that favour its survival & spread. The evidence for this is *extremely* thin right now, but I believe it will accumulate with time. See: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC... pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34951387/

If we widen our scope a bit we find more evidence of behaviour modification. One study which correlated acute COVID cases & incidence of car crashes across 7 US states (2020-23) concluded that acute infection was associated w/ a 25% increase in crash risk. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

“We propose that selective neuronal mitochondrial targeting in SARS-CoV-2 infection affects cognitive processes to induce ‘brain fog’ and results in behavioral changes that favor viral propagation.”

Some opine that COVID may be even worse than HIV. Both attack the immune system & make you more susceptible to deadly infections & diseases. But in addition, COVID damages multiple organs & organ systems. And people get/got HIV once—not 1-2x a year.

Untreated HIV on average can take I believe 10 years before becoming AIDS. So we’re still a few years away from something similar on a mass scale re: a comparable timeline. Should that terrifying possibility become reality—and the science isn’t reassuring it won’t—people may go into further denial.

Covid may lead to Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s in the coming years. I suggest you keep yourself in the control group—or at least, in the minimally exposed group, since controls now barely exist.
