@DaniBeckman@clsilvers Happiest of birthdays Dani.
Thank you for all you do. Such a great shift in location & your loss of your beloved mum is a shock to your world. Sending hope & love & luck your way 💪❤️
06.06.26 was my birthday! 666😁👹Welcome, new cycle! The past year took more from me than I ever imagined: my mother, my home, my certainty. I arrived in Germany last month carrying grief, loneliness...but also hope.
Strength isn't never breaking. Is continuing after you do so💪
As a neurologist, it is now patently clear to me that the vast majority of people on the planet are suffering from neuroinflammation or brain damage (likely both)
The way people speak & behave has changed. Markedly so.
Whether irl, or via messaging/social media. It’s noticeable
My father contracted COVID in hospital & died in Oct 2020
Since then I've spent years immersed in UK Covid Inquiry hearings, evidence, reports & government responses.
One question matters more to me than any other:
How do we know if the right changes are actually happening?
🧵
@AnnaLouiseMR@SafeDavid3 Dear Anna- Louise- nothing is happening. The same people who stonewalled aerosol mitigation during pandemic are still there resisting or not facilitating change. WHY?
This rebuttal is brilliant, detailed, compassionate, intelligent, science based, and thorough.
The precise opposite of the statement she's replying to.
Please read, share, share, and then share. And also share:
We must be crystal clear about a few points. Long Covid is not a "poorly understood neuroimmune disorder" with no biomarkers. It is a widely studied biological medical condition. Pathology spanning basically all body systems is well documented, with damage in situ across organs
Another extraordinary review of pancreatic cancer and its link with oral health and microbiome.
Humans are holobionts.
Unless we understand our holobiont inhabitants we cannot understand our diseases.

"It's all in your head - imaginary."
Flood them with FACTS, details, specifics - verifiable & repeatable. Enough so that their "I still don't believe you" is an obvious "I don't want to believe you, so I won't".
@1goodtern Please do ask your friend to make contact with @PandasPans if she has not already. There is a clinicians network she can tap into for help & a large parent support network who have a lot of lived experience on how to help treat & manage kids with these conditions.
BREAKING: THE WORLD TURNS ON THE TRUMPS! Over 100,000 Albanians flood the streets to STOP crooked @jaredkushner from turning their protected wetlands into a luxury resort for billionaires.
While Trump dismantles America's ocean monitoring systems and guts environmental protections at home, his son-in-law Jared Kushner is bulldozing protected wetlands in Albania to build a $4 billion luxury resort — and thousands of Albanians are in the streets trying to stop him.
The project, linked to Kushner's firm Affinity Partners, would cover 2.5 square kilometers of the protected Vjosa-Narta coastal landscape — home to flamingos, Mediterranean monk seals, and sea turtle nesting sites. The planned development includes roughly 10,000 hotel rooms and villas on protected Adriatic coastland that Albanian law was specifically designed to preserve.
In early May, excavators began clearing pine forests and dunes. Barbed-wire fences went up, cutting off locals and tourists from beaches they've used for generations. Then a video went viral showing private security guards dragging a peaceful protester along a cliff by force.
That was the spark. Thousands flooded the streets of Tirana for two consecutive days, chanting "Albania belongs to Albanians" and demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Edi Rama, who has been facilitating the project through legislative changes to protected area laws passed in 2024 — changes that Albania's own anti-corruption prosecutors are now investigating.
SPAK, Albania's special anti-corruption prosecution office, has opened a formal probe into how Vjosa-Narta's protected status was quietly altered to make Kushner's resort possible. Two private security companies had their licenses revoked after the assault on protesters. Fifteen demonstrators have been charged. The local police chief was stripped of his duties.
This is the same Jared Kushner who received a $2 billion investment from Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund shortly after leaving the White House following Trump's first term. The same Kushner who has been leveraging Trump family connections into overseas deals across the Middle East and Europe,while his father-in-law runs American foreign policy.
Flamingos and monk seals don't have lobbyists. Protected coastlines don't make campaign contributions. But Kushner has a very famous father-in-law — and Albania's government apparently made the calculation that that was enough incentive to destroy their own country’s environment.
Now, Albanian citizens are saying otherwise. Loudly.
Please like and share this post everywhere if you support the Albanian citizens’ protests against Jared Kushner’s greedy desecration of their land and coastline.

Hey @WIRED, how about interviewing neuroscientists who are actually studying the brains of people with #LongCovid? I'm available, and so are many others in the field.
"When the brain gets stuck in a feedback loop of fight or flight" What does that even mean? #Pseudoscience
