Honestly- where the fuck are the people that can stop this atrocity??

[Leigh SLP 🇺🇸🇦🇹🇩🇪🇨🇦🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ @SFXTX]

I try to explain this to my hospital colleagues and people in my field and it’s always just 🤷‍♀️in response

Many chronically ill patients no longer fear only their disease. They fear the healthcare system itself after years of dismissal, disbelief, humiliation, and abandonment.

[Michael Moran | APC Injury @internetuserf12]

If Ebola becomes a pandemic, it will be in no small part because millions of people now view public health measures as oppression rather than the most basic infrastructure of a functioning and sustainable civilization.

[Deborah Holloway 😷 🇺🇦🇨🇦 @DebHolloway]

Imagine you breathed in a novel virus six plus years ago and it made you horrifically ill and you never recovered. In fact, over time, new and terrifying impacts emerged. Imagine experiencing your own decline, watching others experience the same, and having a friend die because of that novel virus. Now, imagine not being believed about any of it. Imagine being lied about, lied to, and abandoned. Imagine how frustrated you would feel, how you would come to understand that you had no agency because it had been taken away. Stolen, in fact. Sounds bad, right? Stay with me. Because there is more. /1

6 years. No treatment for Covid. 🤡

"Hospital-acquired COVlD looks both more common and more deadly than strict surveillance definitions suggest."

I find this tension readily apparent in oncology, where those who know the COVlD literature take it extremely seriously. Everyone else does not.

This week she offered to make me bone broth to cure the osteoporosis I probably now have (after she ran into me and saw that I have a stress fracture in my leg).

[Leigh SLP 🇺🇸🇦🇹🇩🇪🇨🇦🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ @SFXTX]

But the person who cleans my office assured me that red foods and good vibes would resolve my 6+ years of this 😅

I’m just over here enjoying my new stress fracture and chasing a dexa scan…

[Leigh SLP 🇺🇸🇦🇹🇩🇪🇨🇦🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ @SFXTX]

I have a family member who got a liver transplant and was mystified about getting COVID after raw dogging at work and attending a crowded album release party in Nashville.
It’s a mystery!

[Sonia Kir🐝 🇨🇦 ☮️ 🇺🇦 🏳️‍🌈 😷 💉 @gazoo32]

@BirdieBittern I follow an account of a young woman who got a heart transplant and now all her pictures are of her at restaurants and clubs.

The Tomato vs. The Arsonist

This is the definition of Institutional Hopium, and it’s dangerous.

Lycopene is great for a salad, but it’s a water pistol in a forest fire when we’re talking about LC. This isn't just oxidative stress that you can eat your way out of, it is Systemic Vascular Arson. Here is the Forensic Reality:

1. The Bunker:
The virus isn't gone; it’s occupied the Bone Marrow, turning our megakaryocytes into factories for 'Trojan Platelets.'
2.The Sizzle:
These platelets and IgM autoantibodies (driven by the virus, not a 'glitch') are physically shredding the endothelial lining of our pipes.
3. The Breach:
When you see deep dermal swelling, wonky vision, and 'sexual stuff' failing, that’s Mechanical Hardware Failure.

Any Friday Hope that asks for a donation while ignoring Antivirals and Apheresis is part of the grift. We don't need carotenoids; we need Bunker-Clearing Protocols. Treating a persistent viral occupation as a syndrome manageable with supplements is how we end up with young men dying of bad luck thyroid storms and cancers. It’s time to stop the Doctor Game and start demanding Pathogen Eviction. 🛑🛡️

Nursing Note:
Don't fall into the tomato patch distraction. Hey what did the mama tomato say to the baby tomato?

I know a guy who was uninsured so he flew to Bogota with confirmed appendicitis for his surgery because he price checked a bunch of countries and that was the best deal he found while weighing risks and standards of care.

[The Keystone Channel @TKCrecovered]

@thehealthb0t He could have flown to another country, have a complete check up and added a luxury vacation to it for that money.
The US is absolutely insane with their medical bills.

@danaludwig @PrognosticChats They’re still playing it with COVID!

[Prognostic Chats @PrognosticChats]

Better to risk the Andes variant Hantavirus 50% mortality rate than wear a mask in the midst of an active outbreak on a contained ship that you are stuck on says chief of WHO.
This is the natural consequence of the last 6 years.

[Alyssa Schwartz @alyssaschwartz]

Positive and asymptomatic. And just yesterday the WHO and CDC were saying those people didn’t need testing.

[James Sowka @james_sowka]

I think people should understand that this level of Covid denial happening this quickly would not have been possible without the groundwork of people already not giving a fuck about disabled people or their own health in general

[Owen Shroyer @OwenShroyer1776]

All this to stop a nuke that didn't exist and open a strait that wasn't closed.

[🎒Joanna Teglund✊😷🍉Human life is sacred @JoannaTeglund]

I’ve seen this before. You can use this video in the coming months.
I could simply reuse thousands of my tweets from 2020–2021, but I see that almost everyone is excited about the spread of the #hantavirus, which has a mortality rate 40%, so I’ll hold off on that.
Good luck

@BirdieBittern @LTSmash420 So, ALL passengers were declared symptom free on the boat this morning, and a few hours later one of them is sick. Who could have predicted this?

[Incognito @IncognitoLkm]

@atrupar 🚨🚨🚨Either @NIHDirector_Jay is UNAWARE of or is intentionally IGNORING documented presymptomatic transmission of Andes Virus.

Waiting to contact trace Hondius passengers & crew until AFTER they develop symptoms is TOO LATE‼️
