I was chatting with my elderly neighbor recently (in his 70s) I asked if he got his Covid and flu boosters for this year He replied that he is taking a break because of all the negative things he is hearing about vaccines This is exactly how disinformation works

The Conversation: 'Long COVID linked to greater risk of high blood pressure' theconversation.com/long-covid-l...

Do you wear a respirator every time you are around other breathing humans indoors? Anyone who does not is fine with disabled people dying. There are millions of us with long COVID, and more every day, yet even most liberals are fine with us dying.

COVID-19 & flu can be scary, but you can lower your odds of infection and severe illness by getting your vaccines! Add getting vaccinated to your Halloween week to-do list by calling us at 919-560-7608 to schedule appointments for ages 6 months and older! Other locations: VaccineFinder.org

Researchers reviewed 105 Long COVID and ME/CFS clinical trials and found major gaps in how treatment success is measured. Only 18% of Long COVID trials assessed post-exertional malaise (PEM). Many relied on fatigue scores that miss disability & crashes. www.frontiersin.org/journals/pub...

Low-dose naltrexone (4mg) shows promise for Long COVID. A Stanford study of 230 patients found fewer symptoms and improvements in fatigue, brain fog, sleep and post-exertional crashes after 3+ months. Promising results, but without a comparison group, benefits remain unproven.

Human neural stem cells are highly vulnerable to SARS-CoV-2, including Omicron. Researchers found blocking one entry pathway cut viral entry by 75–85%. Maternal infection may disrupt fetal brain development, risking long-term cognitive or behavioural issues. Monitoring exposed kids is critical.

New research involving 378 hospitalised COVID-19 patients found that elevated levels of IL-6, an inflammatory signalling molecule, and neutrophils together in a blood test identified patients with a 14-fold higher risk of death. The test could improve risk prediction, but further research is needed.

A 2022 South Korean study found twice as many reported COVID-19 cases as expected (138 actual vs ~60 expected) following an outdoor university festival. The concert area had a capacity of 12,000. Actual infections may have been higher due to gaps in self-reporting via the university's app.

Who knew the solution for global warming is solar over our deserts also solving our energy problems by exporting electrons to the world benefiting some folks hardest hit by rising heat levels? Imagine if grass starts growing under those panels? YES THAT KIND OF GRASS 🙌

PJ.2.1 is an emerging COVID variant worth watching. It's been gaining ground in Canada, the US and Spain. Early research suggests it may bind more strongly to ACE2 receptors on our cells, potentially helping the virus enter cells and spread more easily, rather than relying on greater immune escape.

Canada: More than 300,000 British Columbians live with Long COVID. One patient has 13 diagnoses, including ME/CFS, POTS and fibromyalgia. From Nov. 1, virtual group appointments at a clinic serving over 8,500 patients will be capped at 30 participants, down from no limit.

2016 and 2024 were flagrant manipulation of the vote, here it continues in multiple states already. Why are these state’s leaders just ignoring this and telling ppl to check their ballot? No, pull the machines and stop the steal, flagrant in the open fraud www.idahostatesman.com/entertainmen...

⚡️ Ukraine’s Presidential Office has refuted claims that Elon Musk lifted speed restrictions on military Starlink terminals following a call with Donald Trump.  Presidential communications advisor Dmytro Lytvyn stated that speed limits remain in place and no operational changes have been observed

Every COVID-19 infection is another opportunity for long-term complications. COVID-19 is more than a respiratory illness. COVID can affect multiple organs and systems throughout the body, with potential consequences that extend far beyond the initial infection. (...)

But Lord, I did all these great works in your name: Terrorizing immigrants, burning food set aside for the hungry, oppressing the downtrodden by cutting their internet speeds so they can’t defend themselves, destroying the natural world by burning more gas and cutting down more trees

UK: "I lost my dad and sister to COVID - I doubt care inquiry will bring change" The COVID inquiry found government failures in care settings allowed the virus to spread. Over 43,000 care home deaths involved COVID between March 2020 and July 2022. One woman lost her father and sister 5 days apart.

A new preprint suggests SARS-CoV-2 has evolved to become harder for our immune systems to recognise. Researchers found that newer variants, including XBB.1.5 and KP.2, are less easily recognised by immune cells that detect new threats. KP.2 was recognised 3 times less often than the original strain.

Why can PEM symptoms be delayed? Prof Todd Davenport explains #PEM can start hours or days after physical, cognitive, emotional or sensory exertion. Like waves building towards high tide, repeated exertion before symptoms settle can cause effects to accumulate #LongCOVID @sunsopeningband.bsky.social

Serotonin reduction in post-acute sequelae of viral infection: Cell. This important paper describes how Covid infection can lead to the development of long Covid.

A study found that persistent taste problems after COVID-19 infection may result from damaged taste buds and reduced levels of a protein called PLCβ2. This disrupts signals to the brain, making sweet, bitter and savoury flavours harder to detect, while salty and sour tastes remain unaffected.
