Dire warning from US HCW as the more severe JN1 novel Covid runs rampant

Do viral pathogens increase the risk of neurodegenerative disease?

Recent analysis of more than 400.000
patients across different biobanks point to several straightforward conclusions:

- Increased risk of developing neurodegenerative diseases persists up to 15 years after a single initial virus infection;
- The largest effect association was found between viral encephalitis exposure (caused by many viruses, including coronaviruses) and Alzheimer’s disease.
- Influenza with pneumonia was significantly associated with five of the six neurodegenerative diseases studied.
- The previously reported association between Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) infection and Multiple Sclerosis was also confirmed.

What about vaccines and the risk for neurodegenerative diseases?
(Anti-Vaxxers will love this part)

- Influenza and pneumonia vaccination has been found to reduce the risk for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.
- Shingles (varicella-zoster) vaccination is associated with a reduced risk of dementia in both the United States and Wales.
- Protection against bacterial and viral infection benefits the brain since these infections may activate dormant herpes simplex type 1 (HSV-1) and herpes zoster virus (HZV). HSV-1 and HZV can interact to trigger AD.

Despite these findings, influenza vaccination
coverage in the United States is typically less than 50%, and only about 35% of people over the age of 60 have received a shingles vaccine.

In addition to vaccination, some studies suggest that using antivirals may reduce the risk of dementia. Antiviral target-specific drugs could also provide ways of ameliorating risk or halting neurodegeneration progression, but this remains a goal for future drug development.

@Topiramatee One day, no more "mutuelle" in France 🙏

Honestly, this tweet makes no sense.
Either you condemn, and act accordingly, or you don't.

Even wars have rules.

The Geneva Conventions protect civilians in conflict and help ensure assistance reaches those in need, without discrimination.

"Leptin resistance appears to be present in most cases of obesity, perhaps analogous to insulin resistance in Type 2 diabetes."

Antimicrobial resistance thrives in injured and infected victims (and perpetrators) of war, conflict and displacement. As we usher in 2024 let peace and humanity prevail over death and devastation globally. Wishing you and yours a peaceful, prosperous and productive 2024!

The WHO is calling for immediate 'universal masking' as the more severe, more infectious, novel JN1 covid virus gets labelled by the cover up cartel as a mere 'variant of interest'

IS NOT EVEN A VARIANT - IT'S A NEW SARS and...

Any idea of the state of Hospital facilities - in terms of human ressources - beds number - ICU capacities - equipment, and funds - ?

If so please comment.

[AMR Think Do Tank @AMRThinkDoTank]

🇯🇵 In 2013, Japan (128 millions people) reported 1.57 million beds. In 2022, there were approximately 1.49 million hospital beds available.
Good job.

For patients with new-onset type 1 diabetes, the JAK1 and JAK2 inhibitor baricitinib might preserve β-cell function and improve metabolic measures. New research findings are summarized in a short video. https://t.co/gA6y7ELXtm

Le #Covid a tué 60 895 personnes en France en 2021, soit près d'1 décès sur 10.

C'est un peu moins qu'en 2020 mais il s'agit toujours de la 3e cause de décès, derrière les tumeurs (169 910) et les maladies cardiovasculaires (137 716).
