Hey @MountSinaiNYC how does it feel having an #EpsteinList doctor running a self-named ($$$$$$$) breast cancer clinic?

ICE tackle U.S. citizen—shoot him with taser after already pinned to ground.

4 agents hold the man face down—while 5th agent tazed him in the back.

Another agent points a weapon at a witness.

"Don't point that at me again," man says.

"I don't feel safe," agent yells back. "It's whatever I say—Get back!"

The man detained was a community volunteer with VC Defensa.

Incident occurred in an area open to the public at the Ventura County Government Center in Ventura, California.

Long-Term Outcomes of Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children up to 4.5 Years After COVID-19

🚨IMPORTANT new study just dropped: MIS-C in kids is NOT a temporary illness!!

🚨It raises cardiovascular disease risk 14×, hypertension 9×, and gut/lung/brain problems for up to 4.5 years later(=LC)

Earlier “kids recover fine” claims are now officially challenged! Study:👇

➡️ A retrospective cohort study from New York’s Montefiore Health System examined 173 children under 21 with MIS-C versus 346 propensity score-matched controls without MIS-C, all following documented COVID-19 infection.

➡️Follow-up extended up to 4.5 years (March 2020–August 2024) using electronic health records, with MIS-C confirmed by ICD-10 code M35.81 plus CDC/WHO criteria.

➡️Results:
1. MIS-C patients faced markedly elevated risks compared to controls:
- Cardiovascular disorders (aHR 13.88, 95% CI 4.69–41.07),
- Hypertension (aHR 8.86),
- Gastrointestinal disorders (aHR 9.48),
- Respiratory disorders (aHR 3.46), and
- Neurological disorders (aHR 2.02),
- Shock and chronic kidney disease (CKD) occurred almost exclusively in the MIS-C group,

2. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed persistent cumulative incidence in the MIS-C cohort ranging from 6.8% (CKD) to 35.2% (respiratory disorders), with risks diverging and accumulating over years rather than resolving,

3. Preexisting hypertension strongly predicted cardiovascular, neurological, respiratory, and gastrointestinal outcomes,

4. Preexisting diabetes increased CKD risk 49-fold,

5. Older age modestly raised risks of shock and CKD.

6. Sensitivity analyses using stricter MIS-C definitions and alternative respiratory coding confirmed the main results.

7. No mention or data on vaccination and/or reinfection impact.

➡️The study directly challenges earlier reports portraying MIS-C as a transient, self-limited condition with minimal long-term sequelae.

‼️So, MIS-C is not a temporary inflammatory storm that children outgrow. It inflicts severe, lasting multisystem damage that multiplies the lifetime risk of serious cardiovascular disease, hypertension, gastrointestinal, respiratory, and neurological disorders by several-fold to more than ten-fold, while introducing rare but devastating conditions like shock and CKD that almost never occur in peers.
‼️Sadly enough risks continue to accumulate years later.
‼️Earlier short-term “excellent recovery” narratives are contradicted by this longer, rigorous evidence.
‼️Affected children now carry a heavy, potentially permanent burden of chronic illness that will require lifelong medical surveillance and coordinated care or face accelerated morbidity and reduced quality of life!
‼️Of course we need further confirmation, but this does fit the ongoing concerns within the LC science community!
😡So much for paediatric minimalizations!

Strategist baffled as Epstein scandal takes disturbing new turn: New Mexico Attorney General Hector Balderas was told to "stand down" from investigating disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein's Zorro Ranch.

[Rep. Melanie Stansbury @Rep_Stansbury]

This is Trump’s Watergate.

Today, the @nytimes released a truly stunning report on the Epstein cover-up by the White House. 

Collusion, breaking the law, evading subpoenas—it’s all in there:
- Trump quashing the files
- The VP, COS, DOJ, FBI, and others colluding in the Situation Room to stop their release and compliance
- Officials lying to the public 
- Admin in-fighting and exits
- Officials who appeared in front of Congress during this time

"Why are so many young people developing cancers once considered the purview of old age?
This question was prominent at two of the world’s largest cancer meetings this year, and hypotheses abounded. Ultra-processed foods, obesity, microbial toxins and agricultural chemicals were all considered. But a clear answer remained elusive..
the increase in diagnoses in young people reflects a worrying change in the rate at which those cancers occur.
Colorectal cancer is one of the clearest examples..
Uterine cancer and liver cancer diagnoses and deaths are rising in young women..
cancer deaths in people under the age of 50 remain a small percentage of overall cancer mortality.
But the higher risk of certain cancers in this generation compared with previous ones could persist into older ages, when overall cancer risk becomes much higher.."

I know that SARS-CoV-2 can accelerate this trend.

Persistent Cerebral 18-FDG PET Changes in Patients With Long COVID Presenting With Fatigue and Post Exertional Malaise

🚨We already knew Long COVID brain damage could last 6 months.
Now this new PET scan study proves it’s still there at 2 YEARS and counting.
Hypometabolism hits the left sensorimotor cortex (movement + body sense), left superior parietal (spatial awareness + attention), and bilateral visual cortex (raw sight processing).
This is NOT just “tired.”
This is a broken sensory-motor command center.
Is this the start of a lifelong neurological disease?

➡️Mayo Clinic observational cohort study of 40 Long COVID patients (70% female, median age 53) from a specialized clinic who underwent brain 18F-FDG PET-CT scans 17–149 weeks (median 62 weeks) after SarsCoV2 infection,

➡️73% had predominant fatigue with post-exertional malaise (PEM),

➡️This group showed statistically significant cerebral hypometabolism vs. non-PEM patients in the left sensorimotor cortex (p=0.0253), left superior parietal cortex (p=0.0276), and bilateral primary visual cortex (p=0.0096 and 0.0016),

➡️Abnormalities persisted already up to ~2 years post-infection,

➡️Scans used pons-normalized Z-scores against age/gender-matched controls with common comorbidities included psychiatric, GI, and cardiovascular conditions,

➡️Caveat: No references to vaccination status and/or reinfections,

➡️Authors propose 18F-FDG PET-CT as a potential diagnostic and therapeutic biomarker for the fatigue/PEM phenotype of Long COVID.

‼️So, AGAIN, Long COVID fatigue and PEM have a demonstrable, persistent neurological signature! Cerebral hypometabolism, still detectable on PET scans up to two years later and hits the left sensorimotor cortex (movement + body sense), left superior parietal cortex (spatial awareness + attention), and bilateral primary visual cortex (raw sight processing).

This isn’t just “tired.”

It’s a broken sensory-motor command center.

😡Study proves LC is biologically real, not psychosomatic or any other stupid FND diagnosis.

Without urgent validation of this biomarker and targeted therapies, patients will continue to be dismissed despite objective brain damage!

ER doctor here. The worry isn't what's going to happen to people who can afford FIFA tickets. The worry is the people on a boring Wednesday night that can't afford FIFA and waited 8 hours to see an ER doctor because they don't have other options or are stuck in ER for days.

If you are a journalist or have questions and want to go directly to the source, contact Captain John Hoyte @JohnHoytePilot.

He has decades of evidence and is willing to answer everything. Well worth a follow.

[Artur Nadolny @ArturNadol7566]

This is the @UKHouseofLords Science and Technology Committee report from November 2007. The evidence on contaminated cabin air was heard at the highest level of UK scrutiny. Captain Julian Soddy of BALPA and passenger Samantha Sabatino gave evidence directly to this committee among others. It is public parliamentary record and it has been sitting there for nearly 20 years.

BEFORE YOU BOARD YOUR NEXT FLIGHT READ THIS

A former airline captain named John Hoyte reached out to me recently. He spent nearly 30 years flying commercial aircraft, developed serious neurological damage, lost his career, and has been trying to get this story properly investigated ever since.

He sent me documents spanning two decades. The scale of what is in them is HUGE.

What he shared includes parliamentary records, a 320-page published report from the British pilots union, @BBC coverage, House of Lords testimony, and active litigation in multiple countries. This has been heard at the highest levels. It has largely been buried.

Most commercial jet aircraft use a system called bleed air. Instead of drawing fresh air from outside, the plane takes compressed air directly from the engines and pumps it into the cabin. That is the air you breathe for the entire flight.

When engine seals wear down, oil and hydraulic fluid can leak into that air supply. Those fluids contain organophosphates, the same compounds found in certain pesticides and nerve agents. Inhaling them can cause neurological damage, memory loss, and chronic fatigue. In documented cases, far worse.

This design has been in use since the 1950s. The health risk has been documented for just as long.

In 2005, @BALPApilots, the British pilots union, published a full conference report on this with the University of New South Wales. The following year, 27 BALPA pilots were tested by University College London. All 27 showed evidence of toxic poisoning and reduced cognitive function. Not some of them. All of them.

@BBCPanorama covered it in 2008. The House of Lords Science and Technology Committee heard evidence on it in 2007 and 2008. In February 2007, 40 unrelated passengers on a single XL Airways flight were seriously injured by contaminated cabin air. Their cases went to court. Twenty of them won a US jurisdiction ruling in 2010.

A UK coroner recorded a death linked to this in 2015.

France has formally recognised aerotoxic syndrome as an occupational disease. In the US, a law professor is suing Boeing for $40 million after a single exposure left him permanently injured. Morgan & Morgan, America's largest personal injury firm, is now actively taking mass cases on behalf of passengers and crew.

John himself was one of those 27 pilots tested by UCL. He founded the Aerotoxic Association in 2007 at the Houses of Parliament to support other survivors. He has been fighting for this for nearly 20 years.

Almost every commercial jet aircraft except the Boeing 787 Dreamliner uses the bleed air system. The 787 uses a different design that avoids this problem entirely. That safer design has existed for years. That fact alone says everything.

BBC has not covered this story since 2020. The UK Civil Aviation Authority continues to say there is no positive evidence of a link. The Aerotoxic Association has been contacted by more than 2,500 people who believe they have been affected.

John is looking for mainstream investigative journalists who want to dig deep into this. He is an expert witness with decades of evidence and is willing to answer every question. He has a passenger injured on that 2007 flight, Samantha Sabatino, whose case is in the parliamentary record.

This is a genuine story of enormous public interest and it deserves proper investigation.

If you are a journalist or researcher and want to speak to John directly, his contact details are in the comments.

I will add media coverage links in the comments section.
