Cord blood cytokines/chemokines linked to delays in toddlers exposed to SARS-CoV-2 prenatally “Maternal SARS-CoV-2 may impact infant neurodevelopment, as early cytokine elevations correlate with delays, highlighting the importance of early monitoring & interventions to reduce long-term effects”

Nothing illustrates the all-encompassing social and institutional denial of Covid-19 more keenly than the absolute refusal of many governments to accept that the disease and its many sequelae are a significant causative factor in increased school absenteeism. Wilful blindness.

I see the same ongoing gaslighting on #COVID variants being mild. I don’t know how to get this across but it’s not safe to catch any of them. After three reinfections your risk of long covid is around 40%. These risks are often portrayed as fatigue in the media, fatigue is only one aspect of it 🧵

US and UK warplanes are acting as Israel’s shield for some reason and intercepting Iranian drones flying towards Israel.

Results of kids of pregnant moms infected with Covid “At 6 months, 33.3% of infants exhibited cognitive delays 20% communication delays, 40% motor delays, increasing to 35.71%, 64.29%, and 57.14% at 24 months, respectively” Maskup. If not for you, for your baby www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Iran has vowed to significantly increase its output of enriched uranium in defiance of US demands ahead of a round of nuclear talks shrouded in trepidation amid reports of an imminent Israeli attack. u.afp.com/SN5u

Marles: "the review that’s been announced is not a surprise, we’ve been aware of this for some time. We welcome it, it’s something which is perfectly natural for an incoming administration to do" And yet the ALP govt itself DID NOT DO IT. Absolute maladministration.

One of the reasons I am adamant that people should not avoid regular dental appointments because of the risk of Covid infection is because a close friend of mine died of oral cancer in 2009, aged 39. His tumour would have been easily treatable if caught sooner. He died hard. time.com/7289262/how-...

Please stop saying ICE agents are “wearing masks” They’re wearing face coverings. Gaitors. The anti-mask rhetoric has caused untold harm to disabled people. Mask bans have already been enacted in many places. We must fight for our right to continue wearing medical masks & respirators.

Yes, this! Words are spells. Cast them carefully! Everyone needs to be wearing a high-quality, well-fitting mask properly at all times in public to protect themselves & others from deadly & disabling airborne biohazards. 😷🫰

Stop telling people to wear medical masks just to hide your identity. It's egregiously ableist and it hurts those of us who *are* wearing them for medical reasons.

On & on it goes.

Gotta say, when the studies dropped showing Covid causes erectile dysfunction… I thought people would pay attention. When they said you should avoid Covid for months before trying to conceive? Same. Now we see the virus persists in semen… will anyone care?
