The Washington Post finally admits what we have been saying for years: The US is waging economic war around the world.

1/3 of all countries suffer from US sanctions, including 60% of poor countries.

"Sanctions have had devastating effects on innocent civilians", killing many.

We’ve just experienced the hottest day in recorded history AND an entire year above 1.5C.

The future you’ve been planning for your whole life is gone.

Instead, we’re heading for ecological & societal collapse, courtesy of the capitalist corporations we’ve let control our world.

PMC COVID-19 Forecast, Jul 25, 2024 (U.S.)

The U.S. is hovering around 900,000 daily infections.

Nearly 2% of the U.S. population is actively infectious with COVID. Ultimately, such infections are expected to result in >40,000 new daily #LongCovid cases.

If I could choose just four studies out of the over 500 I’ve reviewed to convince you to take precautions from SARS-CoV-2, the following would be on my list:

1. The Lancet just published a compelling study of >16 million people demonstrating the risk of type 2 diabetes after COVID-19 was significantly higher in unvaccinated individuals compared to vaccinated ones. Hospitalized COVID-19 patients faced a dramatically higher risk of developing diabetes, which declined over time but remained elevated. Most importantly, 60% of those diagnosed with type 2 diabetes after COVID-19 continued to have the condition 4 months later (https://t.co/U08gHQoyuJ).

2. A study in The New England Journal of Medicine from February (2024) shows alarming accelerated cognitive decline in all individuals infected with SARS-CoV-2, even after a recovery period (https://t.co/B6gjgSRA8Y).

3. A preprint on macaque monkeys reveals that even mild and asymptomatic cases of COVID-19 can lead to the formation of Lewy bodies post-infection (https://t.co/01pUt1J8Wx). Moreover, a peer-reviewed study on rhesus monkeys showed an equally disturbing increased presence of tau proteins, in all monkeys (https://t.co/K2u4gjIuCJ).

4. The 2007 SARS1 mouse study, which is crucial for understanding the potential severity of coronavirus infections. No mouse survived beyond the 16th serial passage, a phenomenon we refer to as the "rule of 15" or the “passthrough rule.” This shows evidence of the evolutionary process and the dangers of allowing it to spread unabated (https://t.co/H0SC7a5Yqi).

Given the compelling evidence from these studies alone (with intentional omission of the immune dysfunction, elevated cardiac/stroke risk and gut problems), it should be clear as day, that this virus is NOT by any means “mild.” It can do lasting damage on the metabolic system and central nervous system which impairs everyday physical and cognitive functioning. It can cause performance errors and incapacity to work. It’s dangerous and threatens our way of life.

The public has been lied to and cleaning indoor air, masking indoors and vaccinating against SARS-CoV-2 are essential public health measures.

Note that I’ve left out studies showing increased risk rising with repeated infection, and I’ve omitted studies showing the efficacy of precautions… because people don’t take precautions unless they agree that infection poses a serious concern. And until now, we are fighting survival bias and people who think “brain fog” is some kind of rite of passage to immunity.

People don’t understand brain fog from SARS2 is brain damage. People also don’t understand that not being hospitalized isn’t some kind of gold star participation award that keeps you free of lifelong effects from pathogens that can persist in your blood, bone and organs. Until they understand what they’re doing to their bodies and brains, they’ll take zero action. Explain it to them, before it’s too late.

Never let anyone tell you unions can't change lives.

Reading a new paper on increasing heat uptake by Northern Hemisphere Oceans.

It's so much worse than most people (including most climate scientists) think.

I'm swearing.

More later.

New paper: "How much growth is required to achieve good lives for all?"

Is it possible to realise this vision without exacerbating ecological breakdown? Yes! But it requires a totally different approach to the question of growth and development. 🧵

Never saw this coming. The number of states that can’t stomach Gaza genocide is growing. South Korea makes a stand for Palestine.

[Dr. Lucky Tran @luckytran]

It says a lot about the state of the US that ultimately it was a bad debate performance that led to Biden stepping down, rather than the mass deaths that were caused by his denial about an ongoing pandemic or his enabling of a genocide.

Where are all the bats??

They’re dead.

Let’s not feign innocence & blame the rain. *WE* wiped out insects & starved them.

And unless we end our overconsumption & extractive relationship with nature, we will wipe out a lot more life from an already depleted biosphere.
