Putting men on a pedestal of heroism is not the solution. Women feel unsafe because of men, regardless of colour or creed, and large groups of them roaming the streets will not make us feel safer.

Here's what changed... mass infection became policy: - No clean air in schools - No real protections for staff or students - No vaccines for under-5s - Reinfections normalised, even encouraged to achieve "herd immunity" COVID became routine for children. That has consequences.

COVID is not just a respiratory virus. It's neuroinvasive. It can: - Cross the blood-brain barrier - Persist in neural tissue - Trigger brain inflammation - Shrink the frontal cortex - Affect white matter, connectivity, cognition Even in mild /asymptomatic illness.

1/ Meet Gaurav Trivedi, an Indian scammer who impersonates Microsoft support and then rips off innocent vulnerable people. He tried to scam me......but instead of paying him money, I hacked into his laptop and turned on his live webcam feed.

Copy of my letter to my MP in light of the UK giving a £2 billion contract to Elbit Systems: Subject: Elbit Systems, International Law, and the £2bn Silence Dear Mr Juss, I’m writing again regarding Elbit Systems — a company I’ve raised with you multiple times. Despite this,

Before Covid came along, England was doing pretty well with meningococcal disease. Which is great because it's a disease that can *kill a healthy teenager within hours*... ... or leave them alive without limbs, hearing, or memory... But... and it's a really big but... 🧵

Elbit Systems, Israel's largest arms manufacturer, was the principle target of Palestine Action. Last month, Starmer proscribed Palestine Action. This month, we discover that Starmer is ready to award a £2 billion govt contract to... Elbit Systems. What a stunning coincidence.

As a neurologist, I can’t ignore what I’ve been noticing, both professionally and socially. People are not the same as they were before the pandemic. The way they communicate, interact, and connect feels… different. I want to know if you’re feeling this too? 🧵

To anyone else, these shifts might pass unnoticed, chalked up to “changing culture” or “social media”. But when you study the brain for a living, these patterns line up alarmingly well with what SARS-CoV-2 does neurologically. Frontal-executive circuits are being compromised.

The unsettling reality is this: if the majority are affected, the baseline shifts. What once would have stood out as neurologically abnormal now blends in, because nearly everyone is subtly compromised. This is reshaping how we think, feel, and interact on a societal scale.

We may be witnessing the early social consequences of mass neurological decline; not decades from now, but already, in real time. The changes are small, but unmistakable. And they align with what we know about the brain and COVID. END

Me (as casually and gently as possible): "It's still happening now. That's why junior doctors are off sick twice as much as they used to be. Why nurses like P are off sick 30% more than they used to be."

By the end of the conversation they did consider the idea of sometimes perhaps doing some things to stop infecting other people or infecting themselves, but they did so reluctantly, because they want to embrace the idea that things will *get better*.

“People aren’t any different now than before the pandemic” “People aren’t less empathetic today” “People aren’t behaving any differently” “People aren’t more aggressive” Alrighty then.

For the fallacies being spouted about lockdowns, children & their recent developmental/behavioural issues, please read this thread. It saves me having to address every nonsense reply. My god, if ever there was proof of cognitive decline in 2025, the comments here provide it.
