Really upsetting stunning article where Avi Nath goes on the record with the names of people at Merck and Bristol Myers Squibb who denied him drugs to test his immune checkpoint inhibitor theory of Long Covid. Post-viral illness still has a serious image problem. cen.acs.org/pharmaceutic...

Victoria Derbyshire replaced Laura Kuenssberg on her own show and she was 1000x... infinitely better. RT if it is time to replace the Laura Kuenssberg show with the Victoria Derbyshire show.

Oh look, hundreds of dead chickens were found dumped in the Akkampalli reservoir in India amid a growing concern over the spread of bird flu in the region, officials said. #lolz #collapse

There are only 4,400 signatures on this petition because billionaires convinced everyone via social media and some MSM that COVID was mild and wouldn’t impact them. They thought just ‘vulnerable’ people would be impacted. Wrong! We are officially still in a Pandemic, it doesn’t take long to 🧵

This is good news!

It honestly breaks me that 5 years into a mass disabling pandemic it’s still severely ill people trying to warn those w/ mild symptoms to not overexert & to try to avoid future infections. Not doctors, not public health, not the media. And guess how often disabled people are listened to? We’re toast

BREAKING: We are suing DOGE and the Office of Personnel Management to stop the brazen and illegal data sharing of federal employee data with the “government efficiency” group.

Some differences - Lenin's Bolsheviks were serious, hard bitten men, not early 20-something kids going by such names as "big balls". But yes, I do see alarming similarities.

And if you call for an Uber or Lyft and get a Tesla, cancel it and tell them why.

@puffin1962.bsky.social Just to say, I LOVE Peppermint Patty. 🩵

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

Please listen to disabled & marginalized people We’ve been trying to warn you for years We’re in an unprecedented time. History is repeating itself & fascism is back. You may not see it because you’re not a “target”. You may not care because you think you’re safe. No one is safe. Fight with us

Book burning? If everything was digital in Hitler's 1930s Germany, this is what his book burning would have looked like: deletion of data, removal of websites, retraction of scientific studies, censorship of words like "equity," "diversity," "climate change."

At the age of 63, this gunslinging, booze-swilling, fist-fighting freed slave became the first black woman in U.S. history to deliver the mail — and she did it across the Wild West. This is the true story of Stagecoach Mary Fields: allthatsinteresting.com/stagecoach-m...

Neurologic Impacts of Long COVID, an Autoimmune Syndrome: Igor Koralnik, MD "We believe Long COVID is a new autoimmune syndrome, which occurs when the immune system becomes confused by the virus and begins to attack the body as though something abnormal is present."

⏱️Quick read! Missed the @naturemicrobiol.bsky.social paper describing how a gut bacterium controls your sugar cravings? Here's a News and Views article describing the paper. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A third runway at #Heathrow in the midst of a climate emergency is a vile act of vandalism. Rachel Reeves is happy to burn the planet for a tiny (probably elusive) increment of GDP. How does this benefit us? Article coming later today.

HUGE BREAKING NEWS: Pete Buttigieg is seriously considering running for Senate in Michigan after Gretchen Whitmer says she wouldn’t run for the open seat. Smash that RT if you agree Secretary Buttigieg would make a FANTASTIC Senator!! 💙💙

One for the Labour voters. Starmer has a piece in The Times tomorrow waxing lyrical about de-regulation and the merits of Thatcher. Are you starting to realise what you've voted for?

I used to work for an elected official as the person who answered their emails. I can tell you from personal experience, if even twenty or thirty people all call an official in a day, they start panicking. This stuff does help.

Important study on #LongCovidKids by @buonsenso.bsky.social. We desperately need biomarkers for kids with #LongCovid. The study shows for the first time how kids with LC have a unique blood protein signature marked by increased general and endothelial inflammation. I'm catching up after my trip! 😁

Recent paper (Nature)-why are males more vulnerable to severe infections (ex acute #COVID), while females suffer more from autoimmunity (SLE, MS etc and also #LongCovid)? X/Y or hormones? We study adaptation of immune systems in gender-affirming testosterone treatment: nature.com/articles/s41...

Impfen schützt: Eine erhöhte Anzahl von COVID-19-Booster-Impfungen erhöht die Lebensdauer von Anti-RBD-IgG und neutralisierenden Antikörpern „Darüber hinaus beseitigten Auffrischungsimpfungen Unterschiede im Antikörperspiegel zwischen Personen mit und ohne hybride Immunität.“

Fun fact: if your revolution doesn’t make space for and actively include disabled/immunocompromised people then you’re not as anti-bigotry as you think you are. Mask up! Do it now! 😷😷😷😷😷😷
