Before today, I had never heard a young adult confess in all seriousness, "I have memory issues". I know the prevalence of this PASC condition has markedly grown compared to pre-2020, yet nearly everybody refuses to acknowledge the very probable risk factors that can lead to it.

If Violet Affleck, first year Yale student, is planning a career in medicine or public health, she is off to a flying start. Her essay in Yale Global Health Review is outstanding. Yes, her parents are celebrities, but she is forging her own path yaleglobalhealthreview.com/2025/05/18/a...

One reason (among many) is that they know how frighteningly easy it has become to use current tools and data to ID people from images and video, because they’re using policing tools like this on civilians all the time.

On being called DEI and why it isn’t the burn they think it is

"Medical chauvinism has left public health leaders decades out of date on critical topics, and getting it right often seems to matter less than avoiding the admission that they got it wrong the first time." Ty @mark-ungrin.bsky.social 👏🏼 canadahealthwatch.ca/2025/04/18/t...

Antivaxxers own this. Infectious disease minimizers own this. Public health officials and media who keep promoting "immunity debt" own this. www.bbc.com/news/article...

To clarify, all my images are how they are seen in the microscope; there is no manipulation. The color selection is arbitrary, but that's about it. They are also all acquired in 3D, and properly analyzed and quantified for data extraction. I use a Zeiss LSM800 microscope and Imaris Software.

Highlights - COVID-19 patients tend to have smaller brain volumes than healthy controls. - More severe COVID-19 illness is associated with more brain volume differences. - Hypoxia or inflammation may be a mechanism for brain differences after COVID-19. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

The pioneering research uncovering the viral causes of #MultipleSclerosis I mentioned in my previous post just won this year's Breakthrough prize. “A few decades ago, young scientists were advised to pick another disease to study”. The reality now of #NeuroCovid and #LongCovid shorturl.at/zVRNO

Infectious disease normalizers and proponents of "immunity debt" in public health and the media own this as much as antivaxxers do. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

When people ask me when I'm going to stop wearing a mask, my new response is "have you see what's happening to public health in America? Do you think there will be any support if you get Long Covid?"

Congratulations to the Biden Administration, who set this precedent, for dooming millions of Americans disabled by COVID-19. The Great American Fumble.

if ya'll think you're full of micro plastics now just wait a decade or two for the shitloads of plastic waste from consumer 3D printers to make its way through the environment. those things are giant plastic waste machines: struts, failed prints, garbage to sell on etsy all ending up in landfill.

Media who normalized infectious disease and normalized genocide are now normalizing tyranny and annexation. Shocking.

An interesting hypothetical if you’re wondering if Elon Musk is a genius or not is to compare his behaviour in any situation to what a complete moron would do in the same situation

If you want to fight fascism? Wear a mask. If you want to show solidarity with disabled people? Wear a mask. If you want to protect your own health? Wear a mask. If you recognize that no one is coming to save us? Wear a mask. My ultimate guide to respirators:

Forget 3D printing. Cling film is the easiest material to work with when it comes to replacing disintegrating Garmin Edge 520 buttons. Malleable and also firm enough to maintain satisfying button pressing.

The entire archive of all CDC datasets uploaded before January 28th, 2025 has been backed up on Internet Archive. Incredible work everyone. Science will never be silenced!

23 wickets for the #WAshes for Alana King, including a "Gatting ball" in the 2nd innings. Spooky! #Ashes #AUSvENG www.espncricinfo.com/records/seri...

Real Time Snicko (RTS) is so bad at picking up audio through a batter's body when the batter is far out of the crease and sweeping. Perhaps the ICC needs to think about adding a second microphone type in addition to the current stump mic. #AUSvSL #cricket

Nathan Lyon has twice failed to push for a review this innings, one of which Australia didn't take. If he doesn't know where the ball is going, what hope do the Sri Lanka batters have‽ #AUSvSL #cricket

Sophie Ecclestone being exposed by her teammate in 7Cricket commentary as a plane spotter. Allegedly likes "the whale" ones (Airbus Beluga?). Then immediately traps Alyssa Healy lbw for 34. #AUSvENG #Ashes

That Gilkes run out is really not as complicated as ABC Grandstand claims it to be. Edwards basically caught the ball and ran it into the stumps, except the ball pushed his hands into the stumps. There's no need for the ball to contact the stumps/bails first. It wasn't an elbow. Clearly out. #BBL14

Grunting for a backhand slice is one of the fakest things ever in tennis. #AusOpen

Is this a Grand Slam or a video game? The Australian Open 2025 is looking a lot like Wii Sports, and we’re here for it. 🎾#AustralianOpen #Tennis #SportsTechnology #GrandSlam #Medvedev

You love to see it! www.espncricinfo.com/story/pat-cu...

Published today at @braincomms.bsky.social. The idea that #COVID is mild because it rarely needs hospitals is a myth getting even scientists. Not having respiratory complications does not mean SARS-CoV-2 is not entering the brain. Neurological problems can occur without respiratory ones. #NeuroCovid

By AJ Leonardi, MBBS, PhD @fitterhappieraj.bsky.social "I am vaccinated but still mask" "Vaccination did not prevent the neurological manifestations of Long Covid" "Many people have been harmed cognitively from Covid" Source: academic.oup.com/braincomms/a...

"Widespread use of metal caused estimated 2- to 3-point drop in IQ for nearly 180 years of Pax Romana" Meanwhile, #Covid in 5 years: "Participants with persistent symptoms had a 6-point loss in IQ, while those who had been admitted to an ICU experienced a 9-point loss in IQ."

If you're downplaying the #H5N1 fatality because the patient had underlying conditions, consider that you too probably also have underlying immune system impairment from repeat SARS-CoV-2 infections

I still remember the first time I saw #SARSCoV2 in the brain in the microscope, back in 2021. I was supposed to be looking at brains with Alzheimer, the neuroinflammation is similar. I knew #NeuroCovid was going to be pretty bad. We are just starting to see how much. #LongCovid

Pat Cummins giving India a chance to bat their 2nd innings at the Gabba was a clever ploy on multiple levels. Plausible deniability for trying to win that game, but really it was more about forcing Jasprit Bumrah to bowl for longer and wear himself out for the series. Long term thinking! #AUSvIND
