A groundbreaking paper provides an answer to the long-standing question about how #EBV infections are linked to #lupus. Epstein-Barr virus reprograms autoreactive B cells as antigen-presenting cells in systemic lupus...

We should all thank Professor Lidia Morawska for her incredible work over many years which has influenced how the world mitigates the risks associated with the airborne virus that causes COVID-19. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Covid-19 damages the orbitofrontal cortex, the brain region that calculates risk and the consequences of our actions. OFC damage also lowers anxiety about making risky decisions. That's adaptive for a virus. Study: getting Covid increases your chance of crashing your car by 25%.

Everything about SARS-CoV-2 weakens us as a species. Population-level immune dysregulation leading to both reactivation of latent pathogens and creating niches for new ones; the politicisation of our response regressing public health and massively amplifying anti-vax ideology.

I asked this of an AI Me: Covid and flu are climbing again—what should I do to stay healthy this winter? LLM: Mask up in crowded spots, ventilate indoors, get updated shots, wash hands, and stay home if sick. Smart beats lucky. #health #Wellness #FluSeason #Covid19 #PublicHealth

Epstein’s War

Y’all it is so much worse. So much worse. newrepublic.com/post/203201/...

NEW: In his first interview since his arrest for protesting outside the Chicago-area ICE facility, @revdrmichaelwoolf.bsky.social tells me he has "bruises all over my body." Even so, he said, “the cruelty that goes on that facility … must be 100 times worse." religionnews.com/2025/11/15/a...

People would go wild if MS or lupus were airborne, but Covid is airborne, and it can reactivate EBV, which is linked to both. It’s biologically plausible that we’re seeing more MS- and lupus-related illness after widespread airborne viruses. So mask up 😷

See that Rolex clock and gold bar? It looks like those Swiss gifts paid off. Trump cut tariffs on Swiss goods — like luxury watches — from 39% to 15%. While Trump’s tariffs increase prices for Americans, billionaire CEOs and foreign companies sucking up to Trump get relief.

Senator Menendez is sitting in his cell at Allenwood right now because he took a 1kg gold bar from the Egyptians, among other forms of “lobbying.”

Is this part of Jay Bhattacharya‘s plan to fight future pandemics, to “make America healthy again?”

This is important context from Julie K. Brown. With alt text.

A Washington resident has been hospitalized with bird flu, according to the Washington State Health Department, and they’re infected with a strain of the virus that hasn’t been seen in humans before. https://cnn.it/4oIRswI

In 2023, more than 1 in 8 deaths in England were considered preventable at the time of death. That is 75,694 people. Prevention is more important than ever. Find out more about what prevention in health is, in our new explainer. buff.ly/d7vLRYx

Plus private insurance will not cover you for pre-existing conditions If you are over 45 you probably have a pre-existing condition If you have a sick kid imagine what you would do, how desperate you would be, for them to get timely medical care This is what the UCP are creating #ableg #abpoli 2/2

I’ve seen complaints that many companies ruled that pre-existing conditions include pregnancy. One woman said she got tested for something at 19. It came back negative, but Just Having The Test counted as a pre-existing condition.

What a photograph. “Nearly two dozen arrested as faith leaders protested outside a federal immigration facility near Chicago…” Arrested large amounts of peaceful clergy face first on pavement is a pretty good sign you’re not the good guys in the story. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

We have a 2 tier #Health system in #Australia. As far as I can see the Private sector is a massive rip-off where you rarely get what you pay for. I know many people who opt out of private now. For our family it has never been worth it at all. Any major procedure ends up in the Public system anyway.

🚨 Don't be fooled by the cheap health insurance plans touted by Trump: www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/... Short term health insurance plans lack comprehensive coverage, don't cover preexisting conditions, and have high deductibles.

I assume everyone is positive for COVID at all times, and I have assumed this since 2021. I had COVID once in January 2020 and am now terminally ill with long COVID.

Agree. Drives me nuts. We still mask in oncology clinic, but now it's optional to mask for staff in outpatient settings. I think we should simply assume that anyone we meet in a clinical setting is immunocompromised.

This is also how COVID got loose. We knew N95s were needed 👉before👈 day one (the 2006 recommendations of the SARS Commission say so directly). The 3-foot rule was known to be wrong nearly a century ago. But medicine's dinosaur management class had to show us they're in charge, not scientists. 🙄

The problem is the way institutional medicine interprets science. If you took a bunch of management-class MDs, with no science training beyond undergrad, and let them design a system that entitled them to be In Charge Of Science and launder their opinions into guidance, you'd get what we have.

The healthcare system is ground into the dirt as #longCOVID takes out staff while demand grows because everyone's getting sick, since public health is lying to everyone by omission about what mitigations are effective against aerosol hazards like COVID. They know it too, and have scapegoats ready.

Here goes UHN in Toronto (👉including the cancer hospital👈), repeating the same mistakes as always, because doing the right thing is less important for hospital admin than covering up having constantly done the wrong thing since COVID hit. MEDICAL MASKS ARE NOT AEROSOL PPE, YOU NEED AN N95! 🤬🤡

Omfg why can infection control not get their 🤬 clown car in order and do their 🤬 jobs and tell people that for an aerosol hazard you need aerosol PPE? Seriously, wtf is wrong with medicine that it tolerates this constant amateur-hour incompetence? We know this is killing people! "Do no harm"? 🤬🤡

Incredible piece of data journalism here from @wsj.com. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

One of the best pieces of science journalism of 2025 is Jon Cohen’s terrifying article on how Trump/RFK Jr/their crew of MAGA/MAHA dudes, like Jay Bhattacharya, have dismantled US pandemic preparedness (www.science.org/content/arti...) Then read Jay’s astoundingly stupid “pandemic prevention plan”😢

Neuroinflammation in post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC) as assessed by [11 C]PBR28 PET correlates with vascular disease measures. 🚨 #LongCOVID is vascular and systemic - Avoid re-infections using a respirator mask 😷 - Take anti-inflammatory drugs or supplements - Wait for antivirals

The detection of #H5N5 in Washington is a reminder: while less common than #H5N1, any avian influenza spillover matters. We must ramp up wildlife & poultry surveillance, support shared response frameworks, and monitor viral evolution closely. Global health keeps dosing

🚨 Microclots from #LongCOVID are in your brain, heart, muscles, and blood plasma. If your doctor sends you for an ultrasound test or a D-Dimer, it's the wrong test equipment.

When RFKJ wants to talk about healthier diets in order to "MAHA" maybe expanding access to food instead of cutting it might be a good start but hey: Republicans hate children after all. @altfda.altgov.info ammirite? See some other ways they hate kids here(s/o KFF): www.kff.org/medicaid/med...

Why do I keep thinking about the year 2000 when Deutsche Post was privatized, then sold to DHL, which is now owned majorly by Vanguard and BlackRock.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year. That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare. Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

There's a small #LongCOVID clinical trial with : 1500mg / 750mg Valacyclovir + 200mg Celecoxib Initial Findings: statistically significant improvements in symptoms like fatigue, pain, and autonomic dysfunction compared to a control group receiving standard care. #SARSCoV2

Researchers discovered that the vaccine’s immune-activating properties may boost cancer-fighting responses, acting like a nonspecific “flare” that reawakens the immune system. • news.ufl.edu/2025/10/covi... • www.mdanderson.org/newsroom/res...

GOOD NEWS! A groundbreaking study in MORE THAN 1,000 people reveals that cancer patients who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine within 100 days of starting immunotherapy lived dramatically LONGER than those who didn’t. In some cases, their survival rate was DOUBLED.

1/ New study tested blood from ME/CFS patients for 185 human viruses. Result: healthy controls had more viral DNA than patients (Unexpected). Only Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) appeared more often in ME/CFS, hinting at possible reactivation in a subgroup. Let’s break it down🧵

The Society for Neuroscience meeting starts tomorrow! I prepared some microscopy images for display at the convention center in San Diego. Let me know if you see one of my images around! 🤓 🔬 🧠 @sfn.org #SfN25 #FluorescenceFriday

It really seems like this administration is trying to eliminate the field of public health. MPHs and DrPHs will no longer be considered "professional degrees" by the DOE and, therefore, will face limits to accessing federal student loans. aspph.org/department-o...

No grocery prices aren't coming down, and Trump's tariffs are the main reason why.

1) Ethics officials at Fannie Mae investigate how Bill Pulte got Letitia James mortgage docs 2) They send findings to Inspector Gen. of FHFA, which Pulte heads 3) IG sends it to Lindsay Halligan, new USA prosecuting James 4) IG and ethics officials are all fired. www.wsj.com/finance/regu...

Kathy Hochul could bring down bills and protect our future by building 15 gigawatts of public renewables. Instead, she's raising bills to build Trump's fracked gas pipeline and a crypto mine. Is this why? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/n...

The goal of the republicans plan is to create a socially Darwinian society that allows the most at risk to die without being seen or heard. It’s all social murder at scale and eugenics all the way down. The republicans are building the tools of mass death and painting them as public health.

Katie Johnson's last interview back in 2016. Before the election. She warned the country! And she was silenced. She was 13 when she meet Trump and had sex with him. Yes, this was the girl that Trump picked because she reminded him of his daughter, also 13 at that time. What a Creep. I believe Katie
