“COVID and influenza do not cause cancer under themselves, but if you have cancer and you have dormant cancer cells that are normally under control by your immune system, getting a severe case of COVID can help reactivate those existing cancers"

The antihistamine did nothing, so they told you it wasn't MCAS.

The opposite may be true. The mediator driving your flare may never have been histamine.

Elon is the embodiment of this meme. At the very moment he became the world's first trillionaire (on paper), he was busy stoking unrest and racist protests in the UK.

[Warren Gunnels @GunnelsWarren]

Can’t stop thinking about how Wall Street is celebrating Elon Musk becoming the world’s first trillionaire, while he single handedly eliminated humanitarian aid that will lead to the needless deaths of 4.5 million of the poorest children in the world in the next 4 years.

“Exposure to respiratory viruses before a baby’s first birthday — when immune systems are immature and before most childhood vaccinations — consistently predicted reduced earnings, education and health decades later.”

SERIOUSLY HOW IS THIS A REAL NEWS STORY.

13 workers left Palantir and issued this statement.

"Palantir is increasingly complicit, normalizing authoritarianism under the guise of a 'revolution' led by oligarchs. We must resist this trend."

The number one reason for school absence is illness.

By a very long way.

Hey DOGE and NEWSMAX, can we get an update here?  

Turns out preventing a flesh-eating parasite from invading U.S. livestock wasn’t government waste…

There is no benefit to you from Privatising Energy, Banking, Housing, Healthcare, Public Transport, Water, Food, Telecoms, or anything that the majority of people HAVE to use.

The only benefit comes to the billionaires who own them and rip you off forever.

Nationalise it all.

Wake up bae

H5N1 bird flu just rolled out another surprise.

A highly divergent B3.13 virus has been detected in Idaho cattle.

It’s carrying a new receptor-binding domain mutation.

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

Palantir now has the names and addresses of every person who holds a gun in the UK

They have the records of every Police Officer

They have access to everyone's Medical Records

These are people who are using AI to murder in Gaza and Lebanon

They cannot be trusted

Let me categorically Debunk this utter rot. @sainsburys.

I am a poultry Breeder. The hens that lay white eggs (Amberline/White Star) DO NOT have a lower carbon footprint.

Yes they eat a bit less and produce roughly the same amount of eggs as the Brown egg layers (Bovan/Lowman/ISA Brown) but they live shorter lives, are prone to dying suddenly when startled, a flighty and nervous and because they live shorter productive lives (12 -18mnths) vs brown 18/24mnths (both commercial farmed), you have to incubate more which is increased (Electricity/gas costs) and their eggs are not the same quality.

I breed and keep 20+ different breeds, including: ISA Brown hens and White Stars. All my hens are 100% free range, Not a single barn kept bird, I have ISA browns that are 5yrs old and still laying beautiful Brown eggs, I have not seen a White star live beyond 3yrs and certainly none have laid eggs past 18-24mnths.
White stars Lay themselves to death. They are slender birds and because they dont eat a lot, it drains their personal vitality to keep up laying the eggs you want to sell because of the nonsensical lie that they are "More Carbon Neutral"

You want to know about eggs, come talk to someone like me, Don't rely on some hairbrained imagination of a buyer who's trying to squeeze the profit margin for a few extra pennies at our expense and to the poor hens detriment.

Almost one year after SARS2 infection, children with Long COVID showed measurable changes in the tiny blood vessels of the retina.
Wider arterioles.
Wider venules.
A shifted arteriole-to-venule ratio.
This was not just a symptom survey.
It was an objective microvascular signal🧵

[Zdenek Vrozina @ZdenekVrozina]

Child can recover from COVID.
Their routine tests can look normal.
Yet more sensitive testing may still detect abnormalities in the lungs, immune system, quality of life, and possibly even the heart.
A new review from Taiwan's DISCOVER cohort helps explain why🧵

Impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection on subclinical myocardial injury in the general population: the Trøndelag Health Study

🚨NORWEGIAN CONFIRMATION BOMBSHELL:
COVID infection leaves lasting, hidden scars on the heart muscle, even years later.

"An elevated cardiac troponin I (cTnI) level indicates the presence of heart damage!"

➡️Study:
- This was a prospective longitudinal cohort study within the Trøndelag Health Study (HUNT), a large population-based survey in Norway,
- Researchers measured high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI), a sensitive blood marker of subclinical myocardial (heart muscle) injury, at baseline before the COVID-19 pandemic (2017–2019) in 37,823 general-population adults,
- The same marker was then re-measured after the pandemic wave (2021–2023) in the 19,550 participants who returned for follow-up,
- SARSCoV2 infection status was rigorously determined at follow-up via spike and nucleocapsid IgG antibody tests in blood, combined with self-reported infection history and any available laboratory confirmation of prior infection,
- Infection was defined using nucleocapsid IgG (specific to natural infection, not vaccination) plus spike IgG, self-report, and lab confirmation, precisely to capture true infections regardless of vaccination,

➡️Pre-infection result:
- Higher baseline hs-cTnI was associated with a lower risk of subsequent SARSCoV2 infection,

➡️Post-infection result:
- Confirmed SARSCoV2 infection (any definition) was independently linked to higher post-pandemic hs-cTnI concentrations and a significantly greater probability of an increase in hs-cTnI from pre- to post-pandemic levels, after full adjustment for confounders and baseline troponin,

➡️Vaccination:
- Study reports that 98.9% of participants were vaccinated and explain(in Methods) why they used nucleocapsid IgG (not spike) to avoid vaccine confounding,

➡️Limitations:
- Correctly sited and commented,
- No data on symptoms, asymptomatic/mild/severe cases, or hospitalization, but one may rightfully assume that the majority were mild SarsCoV2 cases,

➡️Conclusion:
“SARSCoV2 infection is associated with increased risk of developing chronic subclinical myocardial injury in the general population, but pre-existing chronic subclinical myocardial injury is not associated with increased risk of contracting SARS-CoV-2.”

‼️To all minimiser still shrugging off SARS-CoV-2 as “just a cold” or “over”: this Norwegian study proves every infection silently scars hearts across the general public with lasting subclinical damage, and with the now-established cumulative cardiac injury from reinfections, your denial is quietly killing many! WAKE-UP!

At a time when ocean temperatures are smashing records and scientists are still trying to understand how fast the system is shifting under climate change, they are talking about scrapping a 368 million dollar early warning network that has ALREADY BEEN PAID FOR by tax payers.

This is not just a few sensors in the sea. It is a network of ~900 instruments measuring temperature, currents, carbon, chemistry and ecosystem change. It was designed to deliver long term data over decades.

This would effectively end key long running records and that matters because ocean data only becomes powerful over time. You cannot rebuild a continuous climate record once it is interrupted.
