Here's a reminder of my take on #COVID-19 (the disease not the pandemic).

It's not what you think it is ...

5,360 Australians lost out on an opportunity to buy a residential property in 2022/23 because it was scooped up by a foreigner, pouring cash into the market to fuel higher house prices. As one housing affordability remedy, we must ban this - just like Canada and NZ have. #auspol

The main finding of this study is the observation that the increased risk of dyslipidemia during the COVID-19 pandemic involved not only patients who had SARS-CoV-2 infection but the whole population. 8/8

@vipintukur As noted in your conclusion, the easiest answer likely lies with adjuvants. The novavax vaccine uses a type of adjuvant that has been shown to promote lymph node drainage and/or induce LLPCs

Therefore, the future of vaccines protecting against emerging infectious diseases lies in the design of new immunogens, their release mechanisms, and the mechanisms of action of various adjuvants. 12/12

SARS-CoV-2 infection can lead to ‘Alice In Wonderland Syndrome’!

SARS-CoV-2 may be responsible for ‘Alice In Wonderland Syndrome’ (AIWS), in addition to other neurological symptoms. AIWS can persist up to one month after the resolution of the SARS-CoV-2 infection. 1/

The Government of Japan @JapanGov has made an announcement about the arrest of Captain Paul Watson @CaptPaulWatson, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative 🐋🇯🇵

"Professor Robert Booy said Australians had become more susceptible to influenza following Covid because of social distancing." That's what it was. A bit of home time 4 years ago, not the fact that COVID damages the immune system! FFS. https://t.co/ViBCiIL5j0

The new significant wave. It's hard to believe the we're well into our 5th year of this virus and not taking the requisite steps to gain control.
Including updates on the new boosters and #LongCovid.

[Raina MacIntyre @Globalbiosec]

Shingles is a classic disease of declining cell-mediated immunity. It rises exactly with immunosenescence, the predictable age-related decline of the immune system that starts around 50 years. Multiple studies show COVID results in widespread dysfunction of the immune system.

Da Vinci's Last Supper is a keystone of Christian art.

It inspired centuries of awe and speculation — over its subtle symbols and concealed messages.

But there's something hidden that nearly everyone overlooks... (thread) 🧵

When I was a doctor I had patients whose lives were saved by medicines being listed on the PBS.

The system is too slow - we’ve got to get some of these life-saving medications listed on the PBS much faster.

I raised the issue in Parliament recently.

.@MichaelWestBiz reports on the epic 17 year failure to deliver money-laundering reforms whose effect is to lock Australians out of affordable property. 17 years! 🤷‍♂️ #auspol https://t.co/jddYa8pPPX

[Outbreak Updates @outbreakupdates]

SARS-CoV-2 impact on the immune system is profound and multifaceted.

It comes with lasting reductions in both innate and adaptive immune cells and a shift towards a less effective Th2 cytokine profile.
