The US just voted alongside Russia, Belarus and North Korea against a UN resolution to support Ukraine. This is a wake-up call for all those cheerleading Trump in our country.

Recent research reveals that the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein can persist in the brain. This discovery suggests a potential link to chronic inflammation & an increased risk of neurodegenerative diseases following acute COVID. Could this explain some of the long-term neurological effects of COVID-19?

"Lockdown" sounds so dramatic. What I remember most is ordering pizza, working from home, curbside grocery pickup, public masking indoors, patio lunches, and long walks. The retelling sounds like forced confinement in a Syrian prison. Somehow, I survived. /s

Legislation states that we must protect all staff from preventable illness. But for COVID, it really seems like that is no longer applicable. And b/c a substantial % of infections, even in young, healthy people, go on to cause long term illness, why has it been allowed to infect people at work.”

Many of those admitted for influenza will then get Covid-19 in hospital through nosocomial infection. Co-infection with both flu and Covid leads to increased morbidity and mortality, and increased duration of hospital stay. Yet little to no airborne infection control. news.sky.com/story/festiv...

Tucked into the Cass Report, deep in the appendices, you'll find that they reviewed thousands of patient records and found no one who'd been harmed by puberty blockers and fewer than 10 detransitions.

These are superb consensus recommendations on the diagnosis and management of ME from The States. The authors are true experts in the field who actively treat patients. I’m determined to produce something similar in the UK (also huge fan of not reinventing the wheel).

If the Public had been given this figure instead of the 7 million figure then the perception of risk on COVID would be very different.

“Hospital acquired covid has a 10% fatality rate and yet many facilities are doing absolutely nothing to protect the most vulnerable among us.” I too have been closely following the UK Covid Inquiry. Abysmal, shocking and intentional. We’ll see no accountability from those largely responsible.

"If you’re a health-care worker who sees a patient in a mask, put one on for them. Don’t make them ask. Don’t psychologize them. Don’t betray the trust they’ve shown you. They’ve put their lives in your hands. Don’t take that for granted, it’s not an easy thing for many of us to do"

If you're writing about declining health, drop in cognition, rapid rise in disability, etc, and you don't even consider the hypothesis that it could be due to a virus that is known to do those things and continues to infect nearly everyone repeatedly, your article will be absurd.

“some MAID providers may end lives of Canadians w/disabilities without fully exploring other care options, considering effects of non-medical factors influencing requests for death, or questioning whether MAID should be an option.” This is why disabled people are yelling about MAiD! /1

If I’m wrong and Covid turns out to be “no biggie” - the worst that’s happened is I’ve had cleaner air & worn a mask in public. Absolutely no harm has been done to me. If YOU are wrong - you’ve potentially damaged every system in your body because you didn’t “feel” like masking. /1

This 💯 The driver of misinformation is anxiety and people search for answers in any place claiming to provide them. True for politics and for health. I’ve been accused of not getting agitated enough. It’s not a character flaw. It’s a choice. Stay calm. Think clearly.

Important 🧵on our new peer-reviewed paper: The pandemic is as bad as it ever was for babies - in year to Aug 2023, 6,300 babies under 1 were admitted to hospital wholly or partly BECAUSE of Covid. They are ONLY age group where admissions have NOT gone down over time 1/17

There's a myth that long COVID doesn't affect kids. Because they didn't get severe disease. But the newest research indicates 6 million kids may have long COVID-serious physical & mental problems. This--not lockdowns--can account for historic poor school performance. Read how we can fix this. 🧪🩺
