#LongCOVID may be a disease of chronically stressed blood vessels.

➡️ A new study reveals that people with LongCOVID have persistent endothelial injury, accompanied by activation of necroptosis (programmed inflammatory cell death) and autophagy (cellular stress response) in both immune cells and circulating endothelial cells.

➡️ These abnormalities were linked to impaired autonomic function, reduced heart rate variability, endothelial dysfunction, and a prothrombotic state. 1/

It was my mother’s 86th birthday the other day. I’ve spent the weekend having quiet thoughts of gratitude about her.

I just heard Giorgia Meloni, the Italian PM say something profound & beautiful …

@ToddZywicki ahead of the curve as usual.

Todd and I and all of us citizen scientists fighting a heroic rearguard action know that your health is too important to leave most if not all decisions in the hands of the Healthcare System.

[Todd Zywicki @ToddZywicki]

Look—this is just evil. This is obvious stuff and some of us have been screaming for 2 years. And now Fauci just rolls this out with no explanation? This is gaslighting on steroids.

“Although current influenza vaccines reduce the risk of severe disease, hospitalization, and death to some degree, their effectiveness against clinically apparent infection is decidedly suboptimal, ranging from 14% to 60% over the past 15 influenza seasons.”

[Todd Zywicki @ToddZywicki]

“Because these viruses generally do not elicit complete and durable protective immunity by themselves, they have not to date been effectively controlled by licensed or experimental vaccines.”

[Todd Zywicki @ToddZywicki]

“Viruses that replicate in the human respiratory mucosa without infecting systemically, including influenza A, SARS-CoV-2, endemic coronaviruses, RSV, and many other “common cold” viruses, cause significant mortality and morbidity and are important public health concerns….

[Todd Zywicki @ToddZywicki]

You gotta be kidding me—Anthony Fauci just published an article pointing out viruses that replicate in mucosal passages cannot be effectively controlled by vaccines that create systemic immunity? After 3 years he just announces this obvious point? https://t.co/nso7g1szHY

Jocko Willink was asked for the single habit that improves leadership, parenthood, and physical performance. His answer was direct. Wake up early enough to complete some form of physical activity before the day starts. Ten minutes counts. The modality is secondary. The sequence is what matters. Exercise before the day begins produces sharper thinking, better decisions, stronger interactions, and greater resilience across every domain of life. One habit. Every area of your life improves.

👉 The virus may be gone—but its molecular fingerprints can remain, quietly influencing the body long after recovery. 3/3

The findings suggest that viral persistence does not require ongoing infection to reshape the immune landscape. Instead, residual viral material may act as a chronic stimulus, potentially driving the prolonged biological changes associated with #LongCOVID. 2/

[Vipin M. Vashishtha @vipintukur]

Can SARS-CoV-2 leave a biological footprint that lasts a lifetime?

➡️ In a striking hamster study, viral proteins and low levels of SARS-CoV-2 RNA persisted for up to one year in multiple organs—including the lungs, brain, spleen, and thymus—despite no evidence of active viral replication.

➡️ Yet these persistent viral remnants were accompanied by organ-specific immune dysregulation and lasting metabolic alterations. 1/

I always try to spend some time in this position every day. It helps me breathe better, improves my ankle mobility, and decompresses my spine. It’s amazing to think that this position is very similar to the first one we ever experienced—while in our mother’s womb. 🙏

[Jeffrey A Tucker @jeffreytucker]

A major theme of the Fauci diaries is the persistent thread from the very beginning Jan 9, 2020 to the end: the shot does not work as expected due to inevitable mutations. They pushed ahead anyway, and despite early and growing evidence of grave injury. Neither safe nor effective. Forced it anyway. This is as big a scandal as the lockdowns, business destruction, violations of religious freedom and censorship.

[AC Milan @acmilan]

La Storia del Milan è in lacrime per la scomparsa di Franco Baresi. Il suo esempio e la sua profondità saranno, per sempre come la sua maglia numero 6, parte integrante e fondamentale del DNA e del cammino di tutto il Club. Le condoglianze che AC Milan porge alla famiglia tutta di Franco Baresi sono le stesse che ogni tifoso rossonero fa a sé stesso in un'ora così dura.

The entire history of AC Milan is in tears following the passing of Franco Baresi. His example and integrity will be forever etched into the Club's DNA, just as his iconic number 6 shirt is. The condolences AC Milan extends to Franco Baresi's family at such a difficult time are shared by every Rossonero, who feels this loss as their own.

[Joseph Marine @DrJMarine]

More shocking revelations from the Fauci files. The plan for universal covid boosters was hatched in the White House and not the health agencies. FDA and ACIP were regarded as inconvenient "stumbling blocks." Myocarditis in adolescent boys was another nuisance to be overcome.
The outcome was politically pre-determined.
They followed the political plan and not the science.
The corruption is beyond belief.

Real talk about olive oil...

A meaningful percentage of imported olive oils sold in the United States are adulterated with cheaper seed oils and still legally labeled as extra virgin. Studies have found that many popular brands fail authenticity testing.

What to look for:
- A harvest date within the past 12 months
- Single estate or single country of origin
- Dark glass bottle
- A peppery, slightly bitter finish when you taste it

That peppery finish is oleocanthal, a polyphenol with real anti-inflammatory activity. If your olive oil tastes like nothing, it probably is nothing.

"Coconut oil can't help you lose fat, it's full of fat and calories!"

This study used coconut oil (1 tbsp) per day for 3 months.

Everything was matched - diet, exercise, only the coconut oil was added.

Coconut oil alone resulted in weight loss and a drop in waist circumference.

It also improved blood pressure + increased HDL ("good cholesterol").

The power of coconut oil lies in its medium chain fats.

Medium chain fats go right into the mitochondria without the CPT1 transported, meaning they easily get burned for energy and almost never get stored as fat.

Animal studies even show coconut oil fed animals have higher resting metabolism.

The nation's "leading expert" in COVID contracted COVID 3 times after being vaccinated and boosted 6 times.

He had a pulmonary embolism 6 months after his second Moderna shot. This was, of course, not publicized.

[The Independent with Scott Atlas @ScottAtlas_IT]

“Pence asked about risk to children. I had 15-20 manuscripts of current data & gave 10 min on the low risk to kids & the hi harms of closing schools. Pence asked Birx & Fauci. Silence - they had no data. Never a single TF meeting, not one, where any of the other doctors had a scientific paper – zero... It was depressing, the incompetence & lack of knowledge.... I have never worked with such low-level people.”
