'Another consideration, when it comes to building immunity, is the growing body of research suggesting that for several months after a Covid infection, people become more vulnerable to other infections...' theguardian.com/world/2025/aug…

Tragic! Vaccine skepticism is key but don’t forget that since 2020 we have told parents that they, but esp their children, were being harmed due to LACK of illness exposure. Supposed “immunity debt”. Now spreading “cold like symptoms” is seen as a public service & good parenting

Please watch this short video clip ⬇️ …and then ask yourself why Prof Hopkins might have just been promoted to CEO of the UK Health Security Agency? A safe choice for those who prioritise maintaining the status quo instead of pushing for science-based progress, perhaps? 🤔

In the UK, new sickness guidelines (intended to boost school attendance) recommend that you should still attend sch/nursery with runny nose, cough, red eyes. These EARLY CONTAGIOUS symptoms. Because missing a “handful of days at school” apparently damages futures Department for Education

“I probably wouldn’t be able to play them so well now [..] Lack of use, plus three bouts of COVID, probably phased out the plectrum for me” Legendary Dire Straits guitarist Mark Knopfler on how SARS-CoV-2 infections affected his ability to play music  guitarplayer.com/players/mark-k…

“Most people don't grasp that a cardiovascular event could be triggered by a mild bout of Covid-19 they had three months previously”….this sadly still includes the majority of diagnosticians in cardiology. This needs to change BSEcho BSE President British Cardiovascular Society G. Andre Ng

Kicking off #KeystoneSympsoia with a room full of masks led by Prof. Akiko Iwasaki & Michael Peluso, MD🙏 #LongCovid

Can’t help but think this was one reason why medical face masks were dropped and lies about their ineffectiveness were allowed to spread. Clinically vulnerable families & those who want to avoid airborne diseases/pollutants are still at risk but “seeing smiles” is more important.

Let's be clear: lockdowns may have had an impact on some children, especially in unsafe homes or w/poor digital access. That shouldn't be denied. But what we're seeing now goes far beyond what short-term isolation would explain, especially in children born after lockdowns ended.

This thread isn't about fear, it's about recognition Lockdowns had an impact, yes, but something else is driving this We owe it to children to ask the hard questions To protect them from repeat brain injury that may alter their development, and their futures, permanently END

Living with Covid should NEVER have meant “accept/spread covid”. Where is prevention? We have HEPA tech to clean shared air, masks to prevent spread & tests to check staff/visitors yet we don’t use them. We place patients at risk rather than act Ashley Dalton MP Wes Streeting

Our new review is out! We detail mechanisms by which the viral, bacterial, parasite, and other pathogens that infect humans over a lifetime accelerate features of aging: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

This is such an archaic view. How many now adults suffered at the hands of the school system? How many were held back or traumatised by its inflexible dogma? Why are we STILL obsessed with traditional school? Because it isn’t really about education, it’s about compliance.

Thank you to our amazing #KSLongCOVID26 organizers for a fantastic meeting of the minds in #LongCOVID #MECFS pathogenesis & treatments. We can't wait for the next one 2 years from now!

A M A Z I N G!! Absolutely love this. Traditional classroom with rows of desks is not essential for learning. In fact, I think for many, it is harmful. m.independent.ie/life/a-52-acre…

If SARS-CoV-2 has damaged learning and brain health (and the evidence unequivocally says it has), manipulating grade boundaries hides the problem, and removes the political will to address it. That’s not just misleading, it’s dangerous for the future. END

Waiting lists are historically high due to following: - Ageing population - Workforce recruitment crisis - Staff sickness absence - Post acute Covid cardiovascular damage Many seek private health treatment or tragically die waiting. We need to be honest about the causes.

Come see me be charming and interesting af on the 27th August at 7pm, St Peter's Church, Linlithgow. 45 minutes of Q&A, then audience questions (questions I won't be answering are below ;) and finally an opportunity to buy a book and have it signed. #Scotland #Books #Reading
