SARS-CoV suppresses our innate and active immune response. SARS is persistent in GI tissues (kidneys), exhausting our T-cells for weeks, months or years. Which, for some, reactivates latent viral and bacterial infections (EBV, chicken pox, herpes). #LongCOVID is #AirborneAIDS so #WearN95 1/

America has warned Canada not to interference in American elections, because that's Russia's job!

Via @timhenderson.bsky.social and Stateline: Only 20% of those forcibly deported or pressured to leave the country voluntarily had a criminal conviction. Criminal records were more likely to be immigration or traffic infractions rather than violent crimes. https://ow.ly/EjgS510078Z

MAGA supporters could have clear evidence girls are being raped and 40% of them would still vote for MAGA.

We are so very saddened by this news.

America getting woke to the work of Agent Krasnov but not fully grasping that they themselves are peons for Agent Krasnov, is why Russia and Putin keep winning this war against American democracy every day.

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations: Alphabet: 8.01% AT&T: 4.6% Meta: 3.57% General Motors: 3.09% Amazon: 1.37% Exxon Mobil: 1.31% Disney: -1.57% CVS Health: -3.88% Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5% This is what a rigged system looks like.

"This shit never gets boring" We should be doing more to improve our wastewater surveillance. Maybe the next administration gets why this shit matters. #MuzzledScientists #ThisShitNeverGetsBoring

We were amused at the thought of average teachers having to cater to corporate donors for education funding, where teachers are hired or fired based on how much funding they can fetch, over other teachers, instead of teaching skills. (which is exactly why professors are horrible teachers).

Three years ago tomorrow, I very nervously gave this speech. I knew my career as a TV journalist was dunzo, cooked, filleted, kaput the morning I wrote it. (Thanks to Kat insisting I go for it anyway.) The end is awfully prescient at this exact second, though. Big ups to Scott Pelley for fighting.

‘Children with post-COVID-19 syndrome (PCS) showed significant retinal microvascular abnormalities, including wider arterioles and venules, suggesting persistent endothelial dysfunction months after SARS-CoV-2 infection.’ #LongCOVID is #AirborneEndothelialShitshow so #WearN95

Canada has PPE in storage. Ebola responders in the DRC are running out. Dr. Joanne Liu says in the Montreal Gazette that the best way to keep Ebola out is to help contain it at the source. Read the article: montrealgazette.com/news/health/... @drejoanneliu.bsky.social @madhupai.bsky.social

We All Laughed At The Idea That Covid Infections Harm Your Immune System. Most People Are Still Laughing.

Normally I don't post stuff from X, but for those who are smart enough to understand what's in this thread, please take a look and let me know what you think... x.com/RealCheckMar...

Excellent brief today from the WHO, particularly from Dr. Olivier le Polain, doesn't preclude the possibility of presymptomatic transmission, acknowledges imperfect understanding/limited prior study, emphasizes the importance of quarantine prior to symptom onset: www.youtube.com/live/G6Boffh...

Taken together, these findings support a scenario of initial zoonotic introduction followed by subsequent human‑to‑human transmission during the outbreak. virological.org/t/preliminar...

Is Hantavirus the next pandemic? No. Is there another pandemic coming? Yes. We are unlikely to see the next pandemic coming due to the political decimation of Global Public Health. US has created a new breed of pandemic risks, both for new pathogens to emerge and for known pathogens to re-emerge.

New COVID variant with immune escape potential confirmed in US & 22 other countries. BA.3.2 represents a new lineage of SARS-CoV-2, genetically distinct from the JN.1 lineages that have circulated in the US since January 2024. Read more: ow.ly/Q50350YxOSv Photo Credit: NIAID

"A new variant, H3N2 subclade K, is driving a surge in cases" Back in the good old days of Public Health we used to refer to "new" influenza strains as "novel". Now we blame parents for dead kids when the vaccine formulation can't keep up with what's in circulation. #H3N2 #BirdFlu

If POTUS47 wanted a CDC Director, there would have been one named by POTUS47 15 months ago. Watch this position eventually get mothballed completely. Public Health is dead. Long live the King... #TobaccoPlaybook

Whitewashing history is apparently going to include how SARS-2019 was a "new virus". This SARS was NOT novel. Omikron was more genetically divergent from SARS-2019 than SARS-2019 was to SARS-2004. We failed to implement the lessons of 20 years ago.

Ukraine is actively protecting our troops and Russia is actively helping Iran target them. But every single time he's tested, Trump sides with Putin. It's the most consistent he is on any topic. No matter what they do, Trump is on Team-Russia. At this point it really doesn't matter why.

21,000 dead Americans from 340K hospitalizations. All completely avoidable. If you ever wanted evidence of the death of PH in America, this is "just the flu" flying under the media radar. #WearN95

How much more relevant is the discussion of #LongCOVID disease equated to #AirborneAIDS - only one year after this article dismissed both diseases' resulting immune dysfunction as a "misnomer"? #WearN95 is not fearmongering. www.poz.com/article/immu...

Novel Influenza #H3N2 - that's what you call a new subclade K of avian influenza that evades prior immunity! "just the flu" is a deadly pathogen even when it's not the #SuperFlu

Think SARS is a good comparrison to HIV/AIDS? HIV doesn’t kill you, HIV weakens your immune system and then something else kills you. Well isn't that what SARS is doing? Except SARS is Airborne. #AirborneAIDS

Boosters: the mRNA stimulate immune checkpoint inhibitors. We were against referring to them as vaccines and would have preferred they were referred to as boosters. These COVID19 mRNA boosters are only effective for 9-13 months if they are dosed properly (in accordance with the product monograph).

Is is pure coincidence AWS goes down right after this post? This is the speculation of tin-foil conspiracy theories before 2025.

Everyone who suffers mitochondria dysfunction due to viral infection then develops autoimmune disorder will develop cancer. The relationship is 1 to 1. Everyone eventually develops cancer. Our immune system is designed to fight cancer. So why are we afraid to admit cancer here? #AirborneCancer
