Keenan Anderson—a 31-year-old high school teacher & father—stopped LA police for help after an accident. They instead cuffed him, pinned him, & tased him repeatedly as he begged them to stop.

Keenan died of cardiac arrest from excessive tasing.

His crime—asking police for help.

We do have a leak. And a plumber coming who I’m sure will fix it. But this thread isn’t really about leaks or plumbers. It’s a feeble reflection about what people with #PostVacSyndrome #LongCOVID #ME and many others face. And I’m not talking about plumbers. (13/)

1. Immune dysregulation and mitochondrial dysfunction is a very bad combination. It is always worth re-stating that this is a dangerous virus, subtle and pernicious. The warning signals were there before vaccines were available, the voices of those already suffering from...

I'm getting major "I only eat organic steamed vegetables, but skydive without a parachute" cognitive dissonance vibes from most of society right now

Please remember: They want to talk about 15 weeks vs 6 weeks because it's a lot easier than talking about women going septic

Raise your hand if you don’t have to surrender to the Fulton County jail this week and get your mug shot taken. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue

@NicolasEdny AGAIN. 🤬 Because why would we ever try to improve life for everyone instead of trying to regress to the 1930s?

If you have a problem with putting a mask back on now, perhaps you should have listened to us saying to clean the air for the last 2 years and then you wouldn't have to.

If you think fertilized eggs are people but parents who've crossed the oceans with their kids aren't, stop pretending your concerns are religious.

@drclairetaylor Right? Eugenics at its most blasé.

Proud to sign a last-minute letter in support of universal masking in healthcare in LA.

If you're against universal masking in healthcare, get out of public health.

@drseanmullen @DonEford Thank you.

[Alisande DeMerovence @AlisandeDM]

@drseanmullen @DonEford Is there a lab test for directly detecting the presence/prevalence of syncytia, rather than detecting signs of specific viruses, such as SARS-COV-2 and RSV, which form them?

[Dr. Sean Mullen @drseanmullen]

Something I learned from a well-read, highly intelligent Twitter/X contributor & science communicator:

SARS-CoV-2 is a syncytial virus - the ability to cause the fusion of neighboring infected cells, leading to the formation of multi-nucleated giant cells called syncytia. 🧵

@ros_rosco @shycollie @DrZedZha This. Working up the courage to say it, distracted from the "regular" part of the visit, afraid of judgment and dismissal, or of starting to cry just from giving voice to it... Only finding the nerve to blurt out "one more thing" as the chance is vanishing through the open door.

@AlyssaEveryHour @quiddie Jumped in just to ask this

$200 better be in the warcrimes coffers!

I would read entire history books written this way

On one hand, that's sensible and the right policy. OTOH as people accrue reinfections, the pool of potential donors will shrink till anyone needing transfusions is just fucked. #CovidIsntOver

@Mr_pupfan @quiddie Right? Sometimes players trying to be complicated just seem kinda all over the place, but Aabria's characters? It only ever seems like she's revealing another facet. Serious depth.
