My deepest condolences to you and your family. My sister suffered sexual, physical, emotional abuse as a child. She married, homeschooled her children, both college grads. Sis then got her RN & BSN Her childhood demons, which she had fought all her life, won. We found her hanging. She was on SSRI, which I suspect didn't help. Please know Tony is a peace in Gods hands. And there was nothing you could have done to stop him. Childhood trauma never leaves the soul. Wrap your arms around his children and his wife & remember the good times. Grief will never leave, but the heartbreaking sting will subside. God Bless Your Family. 🙏♥

Brandon Straka #WalkAway@BrandonStraka·
This weekend my brother Tony shot and killed himself. He had 4 grown children and a wife whom he loved more than anything, and his family meant the world to him. It’s unlikely that we’ll ever get an explanation that makes any sense, because he would never have done something like this in his right mind- and those who were with him shortly before he did this said he was not in his right mind at all. I’m sitting on his lap in the picture below. Everything about him was big, in just about every way. He was tall, muscular, and physically intimidating to most people. His personality was huge, his laugh and his humor were gigantic. And he had the biggest heart. Unfortunately, he also had enormous demons that chased him his whole life. My parents took him in when he was 13 years old and I had just been born. He was my mom’s sister’s son. Biologically my cousin. He came from a broken home with abuse, violence, and abandonment. My parents have often described when he first came into our home that they would find him hiding in the storage room in the middle of the night. My brother never got the help he needed, as so many people in my family have not. I come from generations of people who hide their feelings, keep secrets, and suffer in silence. I’ve never been like my family in that way, which is why I developed an almost obsessive and consuming drive to speak out and tell the truth- even when it’s unpopular and people don’t want to hear it. Because secrets and silence destroy. My own demons have led me to envelop myself with compulsive work. The irony was not lost on me that I spent the day yesterday on NewsMax doing commentary on the death of Charlie Kirk, a man I wasn’t close with, to avoid dealing with the death of the man who grew up downstairs from me. I’m indeed sad. Heartbroken actually. But I’ve been grieving the loss of many in my family for a long time, including many that are still alive. They’ve been lost to their own unresolved traumas, and wounds that were never healed. My brother Tony is one of those people. I loved him. I love everybody in my family. But it is not easy navigating the often harsh terrain of broken people. And so I will continue to work, without pause. Because it’s what I do. Tony, I’m so sorry for all that was done to you that you didn’t deserve. But I’m grateful you came into our home and became a part of our family. Thank you for your jokes. Thank you for your strength. Thank you for loving my parents. Thank you for loving me. We know you didn’t mean to do this. We know it was an accident. We all forgive you. Be at peace now. Thank you for being my big brother. Love, Brandon

@DrSuneelDhand I only took one cruise (8 days) and determined not to gain a pound. I ate only in restaurants. An Oder family memeber with us went into congestive heart failure because he overate and had too much salt for his heart condition. He was not American though:)

I have never, and don’t think I will ever, go on a cruise— especially one departing from the United States. Main reason: I would simply feel too depressed (and maybe a bit sickened) at the state of my fellow citizens, because I’ve heard horror stories about how unhealthy people simply gorge themselves over non-stop buffets on these cruises. Am I right in thinking this, or is this not the atmosphere on your typical US departing cruise?

@Matt_Pinner I had chores to do when I got home. My parents were more strict with me than my brothers. I had more limits for good reason. one brother was short and was of bullied during those after school hours. He kept quiet til years later-free roam had its perks but not all rosy.

As media outlets increasingly report on a potential #BirdFlu pandemic, it cant be overstated how important it is that we as a society learn from the #COVID-era missteps and failures and #LetTheScienceSpeak. This heartbreaking letter from @lawrie_dr should be seen and studied widely. #NeverAgain #NewMexico #SantaFe #Albuquerque #LasCruces #Gallup #Farmington #Taos #RioRancho #Roswell #LosAlamos

@DrAseemMalhotra I used this same bit of his speech in this one, but I also edited you in @DrAseemMalhotra, you speaking on @tntradiolive I mean, feel free to help get this nearly a million views too 😊 twitter.com/c_plushie/stat…
Coronavirus Plushie@c_plushie

🚨 EXCESS DEATHS PREDOMINANTLY RELATED TO CARDIO-VASCULAR DISEASE. Andrew Bridgen MP quotes @carlheneghan and @DrAseemMalhotra in the speech he gave at the start of the Westminster Hall debate on excess deaths. Director of the Centre of Evidence Based medicine at Oxford University Prof. Carl Heneghan has reviewed the causes of excess deaths and has concluded that they are predominantly related to cardio-vascular disease. Prof. Heneghan also told @Daily_Express that these excess deaths cannot be explained by covid, population growth or an ageing population. And Consultant Cardiologist Dr. Aseem Malhotra told @james_freeman__ @tntradiolive that the top of the list in the hierarchy of causes behind excess cardiac-related deaths, has to be the experimental mRNA covid vaccines, until proven otherwise. During his speech, @ABridgen gave way to @drlukeevans who raised the issue of 'correlation and causation', and although I see that that Dr. Evans has blocked me, I hope he can still see this post. #ExcessDeaths #vaccinedeaths #SuddenDeathcovid

For people beginning to question the narrative, the 18-minute documentary film A Letter to Dr Andrew Hill may be helpful. You can find the link below. Why this video is important. "A Letter to Dr. Andrew Hill offers insight into how the science on effective, low-cost and safe Covid treatments was corrupted. It is an introduction to an alternative “safe and effective” narrative. It is an invitation to open the Covid Pandora’s Box, for which Ivermectin is the key." Please copy link from the image. (It's to avoid a shadow ban.) #Ivermectin

I'm sorry that you find it steep, Jane. However, it is a unique fireside chat with only 100 tickets – all proceeds go to funding WCH work, which is quite extensive now. We have no large donors and fundraising requires ongoing attention. We will record it and make it available in due course.

"Medical freedom is linked to social and economic freedom. If we allow the circle of medical freedom to even be touched, let alone broken, all the circles fracture. The writing is on the wall. The determination to preserve medical freedom is in your hands. It is in your personal hands.

@PierreKory If ivermectin wasn't of benefit in treating covid, it would have fizzled out in a timely manner. There would have been no need for the hit job that was carried out. They knew and they know.

Their error was not confined to the misinterpretation of administrative divisions; it encompassed a more intricate aspect of the SUS dataset. Namely, they neglected to acknowledge the delineation between a person's residential city and the city where medical interventions were conducted. The @FlavioCadegiani study's primary data source was limited to health records exclusively from the Itajaí locale, thereby excluding vital data regarding diagnoses or hospitalizations in distinct jurisdictions. This substantial inaccuracy within the dataset unequivocally mandates the retraction of the "revision" study.

UPDATE: there is a numerical error in part of the preprint, in which we set too wide a filter on the DATASUS data when matching individuals from earlier studies. The number of deaths is not used for the simulations, though, so it makes virtually no difference in the results. 1/

Two 2022 @CureusInc papers were hailed by some as the most overwhelming positive results from observational studies of ivermectin for Covid-19. We show that the results from both studies can be entirely explained by untreated statistical artefacts 🧵1/ medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

The hug that saved a life In 1995, the twins, Kyrie and Brielle Jackson, were born 12 weeks premature, each weighing only about 2 pounds. They were placed in separate incubators. One twin was not expected to survive. She went into critical condition. Her heart rate was rising while her oxygen level was dropping significantly. They were about to lose her. It was then that one nurse, Gale Kasparian, went against the hospital rules and standard procedure, putting the healthy twin next to her struggling sister in the same incubator. This decision turned out to be life-saving. Once the twins were close to each other, the struggling sister (Brielle) snuggled up to the healthy sister (Kyrie) who put her arms around Brielle. Almost immediately after, Brielle's vital signs started stabilizing. Her heart rate and oxygen levels normalized. Both twin sisters eventually survived and grew into strong young women. The picture below came to be known as the rescuing hug and would change a part of our understanding of medicine. Hugging that is coming from the heart is proven to have calming and healing effects. Maybe there is someone in your life that can use a warm and heartfelt hug right now.

This incredible study looked at emergency department visits in children for suicidality (attempts & ideation) before & during the pandemic and found, unsurprisingly: a) kids more likely suicidal during school months b) school closures associated with DECREASED ER visits /1
