I wrote about NPR 's decision to frame disabled people's ongoing exclusion from all public spaces as an annoyance to be navigated by individuals, rather than a massive civil rights violation to be challenged by the collective. thegauntlet.news/p/disabled-peo…

Los Angeles is reporting its first human H5N1 case. H5N1 & H1N1 was detected in Silicon Valley wastewater. A bunch of kids have H5N1. 84 human cases have been reported in 15 states, & 5 new states reported cases in December. Nothing to see here! We will be forced to work &

you know lin manuel miranda did the mufasa songs and not the moana 2 songs because mufasa came out two days ago and that “don’t mess with my brothaaaa” song is already viral meanwhile ive yet to hear a moana song 😭 like sorry he can’t help but make hits that stick like grits

1) In the process of reviewing the most interesting ME/CFS-studies of 2024. I think this one ranks top of the list: Beentjes et al.

Illogical quarantines. Optional testing. You-do-you PPE. The H5N1 outbreak on dairy farms could have been ended with swift action months ago. Instead, officials deployed the COVID playbook. Now, we’re a mutation away from disaster: thegauntlet.news/p/bidens-usda-…

40% of the students reported experiencing "brain fog" post-COVID-19, and 37% showed objective cognitive impairments up to 17 months later. Distinct prefrontal patterns were observed in students post-COVID-19, similar to those seen in much older adults. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

I mean, am I going to have to build an H5N1toolbox for these people? Probably. Been there, done that. covidtoolbox.com, longcovidland.com/lcl-toolbox/. Anyway, Happy Holidays! /fin

Must read: “Nath is among several academic researchers who have sought to repurpose drugs for #LongCovid only to be met with refusals from the pharmaceutical companies that make them. It's not clear why these manufacturers have balked at supplying drugs for these trials.”

Hey Apple Tim Cook:
The next Apple Watch should do more than track health—it should protect it. Add real-time air quality sensors to detect airborne threats like viruses & pollution. A billion wrists measuring air = A global movement for clean air. Because what we breathe

So forget the Arab, African, Asian, and Latin American migrants who have long been forgotten. If America is abducting a former ‘American Pie’ actress in chains, you know that pie is fucked. 10/10 and read more: indi.ca/americas-trave…

No one’s been able to answer this so far, but let’s try again. Given viral persistence, will SARS-CoV-2 from past infections transmit through blood like HIV? Like, if I have a blood transfusion, will I get potentially harmful viral material from someone’s 2022 infection?

A Pattern I Can’t Ignore Anymore. For the past three years, I’ve seen the same scenario play out—over and over, and it’s only getting worse. A student starts missing assignments. I send a check-in. I offer flexibility, a meeting, support. Weeks go by. They

TheEmperorHasNoClothes *not just* But it IS increasing. I’ve been teaching since 2009. The problem is substantially more pronounced now than it ever was, and it began getting worse in 2021-22 when all students returned from remote learning. It’s not the lockdowns. It’s the synergy of virus-induced

Covid damages the part of your brain (frontal lobe) which is responsible for empathy, emotional regulation & overcoming self-centeredness. This will facilitate immorality. Each & every infection you have causes damage. Many are on infection 4 (or more). Signed, a neurologist.

A massive study of 40,537 people in @ScienceDirect just redefined C0VID as "a condition of long-lasting immune compromise." 20 months post-infection, T-cells & NK cells (our primary viral & cancer defense) had NOT recovered. So much for "It's mild." sciencedirect.com/science/articl… 🧵1

A Public health department FINALLY produced a video explaining how airborne viruses work. Next step, getting videos like this on TV and all over social media. Too many people think handwashing will prevent covid or the flu🫤

I love to see this as it’s confirmation that when the stakes are high (in this case gold medals) the sci matters & risk assessors know FFP2/3 work to protect & prevent. Sad that when it’s my personal stakes (my children’s health) I get labelled as anxious or a nut job!

“Plasma collected after 2020 shows systematically higher IL-32 levels compared to pre-pandemic plasma.” A global increase in inflammation looks like more illness, slower recovery times, more disability, intensifying chronic conditions, & an overall decline in population health.

CDC had a study on their website early on that 1 in 5 people who got even mild COVID were likely to get long COVID. They never ever mentioned it beyond the website. I started digging deeper in and gathered this medium.com/@covidsafety81…
