@AnteMedicus This is such weak reasoning trying to disguise as logic.

1] Wearing #mask correlates with poorer performance in olympic sports. This is not surprising given the microplastic particles and inorganic and organic substances that athletes are additionally exposed to. Not to mention the bacterial burden of masks. see links to studies below

@Eric00579940 @AlexBerenson Children aren’t suppose to die. But they do bear longterm impact of Covid infections & spread infectious disease to others. CHILDREN DID DIE FROM COVID IN SWEDEN, despite the country’s robust healthcare system. Sweden’s cumulative COVID deaths also surpass its neighbours.

@gs2010chat @AlexBerenson Fact check it.

It’s not reckless at all. Causality is actually simple: if healthy kids died of heart failure within days of getting the mRNAs, the shots killed them. The shots killed healthy kids. Covid didn’t. There were ~no cases of Covid deaths in healthy kids. The shots did. Own it.

@Eric00579940 @AlexBerenson Well, this is just plain false. Guessing you’re a bot

@AlexBerenson Sweden did not lock down their schools. Guess how many many kids died of Covid? Zero.

@MikeKon219 @AlexBerenson 14% of DEATHS from Covid in the survey had no risk factors. NOT that 14pc of 114 surveyed died. Healthy children are not suppose to die. So 14pc of those 114 died without risk factors means that healthy children are at risk of death from COVID.

@AlexBerenson Actually some healthy kids did die from covid. In this short survey over a few months from a limited geographic area, 14% of child COVID or MIS-C deaths had no risk factors out of 114 deaths. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC98…

COVID Is Different I get it. You think COVID isn’t that dangerous anymore. You think it’s just like all the other viruses now. A lot of it has to do with the times you grew up in. We don’t have much memory of viruses and bacteria killing thousands of people. We don’t remember when it was common for families to lose at least one child to infection before WWII. We don’t remember the permanent scars smallpox left on peoples faces. What we remember are colds and flu. Fever, aches, a few days down. Then you bounce back. That became our baseline for what “sick” looks like. COVID came around. At first, people freaked out. Millions died. Then something shifted. It slid into the same mental bucket as everything else. Just another cold. Just another flu. It’s not. If you grew up in a second or third world country, places where serious diseases still circulate, you know the difference. Zika is different. Ebola is different. Polio is different. Each virus does its own kind of damage. We used to understand that. Now we’re making the mistake of normalizing something we don’t understand. Flu and colds don’t breach your blood-brain barrier. SARS-CoV-2 does. Flu and colds don’t shred your endothelial lining and increase your risk of blood clots. SARS-CoV-2 does. Flu and colds don’t persist in your tissues. SARS-CoV-2 can. Flu and colds don’t damage your immune system, causing low T cells. SARS-CoV-2 can. Now we’re seeing signs it may increase your risk of cancer. SARS-CoV-2 may do this. The list goes on. Long COVID is caused by SARS-CoV-2. It’s devastating millions of people. Stop expecting it to act like something it’s not. Want to break the mental spell? Go to PubMed. Search SARS-CoV-2 or Long COVID. Hundreds of thousands of studies staring you in the face. Tons of damage. Maybe you’ve been infected a dozen times and you still feel fine. Will that always be the case? Don’t bet on it. COVID is different because you can catch it every year. You can catch it multiple times in a single year. It mutates fast. Do you really want something that damages your arteries hitting your system over and over? I sure don’t.

Tom Hanks explains to Stephen Colbert why he masks on the subway: "I'm doing a play right now so I cannot get sick... I've had COVID enough in my life, I don't need to do that again. So I'm wearing this for health reasons." Thank you Tom! Masks are a key part of public health.

Disinformation and the destruction of public health & America’s trust in doctors will kill more people than cigarettes. Neither I nor the other five living Surgeons General wanted to call for this unprecedented warning- but all felt compelled by duty to do so. wapo.st/3VTALll

@ValCandee Kirk enjoyed his right to free speech, despite saying at times offensive things about people based on their race, gender. Kimmel is a comedian who made jokes about the president. Kirk’s death is tragic but it does not mean others lose their rights to free speech.

@BarackObama Kimmel lied, giving his employer the excuse to finally fire him. Charlie Kirk was assassinated in front of thousands for free speech. One is a narcissistic, multi-millionaire who will wake up tomorrow. The other is a martyr whose kids will grow up w/o a dad. Take a seat.

This commentary offers a clear, powerful statement of why freedom of speech is at the heart of democracy and must be defended, whether the speaker is Charlie Kirk or Jimmy Kimmel, MAGA supporters or MAGA opponents.

But if you look back on all this and it really bothers you, then I'm sorry to say but you're probably too weak to deal with a month of moderately bad Long COVID, let alone years like me. If the thought of 2020 enrages you, then you better hope you don't get Long COVID

@SwipeWright @BarackObama Do you think that the “strings” affect the quality of the health & science research results that will benefit overall society? Or do you think it’s ok because you don’t like how someone conducts policies, you can opt out of the costs and benefits of their actions?

@BarackObama Harvard is free to keep its racist policies, just not on taxpayers' dime. Federal funding comes with strings, just like all funding. If they don't like the strings, they're free to reject the money.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions – rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking concrete steps to make sure all students at Harvard can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope other institutions follow suit.

@NYAutismDad As you said, the Autism spectrum needs to be split up. But right now, RFK is lumping together a lot of people, including ones who have fought hard to gain their independence and abilities and effectively handicapping them. Dismissing their efforts. He should know better!

RFK isn’t talking about people like your son. Please sit this one out so the rest of us can help our kids.

Healthcare isn’t just for the privileged few in big cities. It’s for the woman who strangles a rabid fox because she has nowhere else to go. It’s for the farmer with a heart attack and no other option. It’s for everyone, or it’s for no one.

Rural hospitals aren’t a relic of the past—they’re a lifeline. They’re the only thing standing between life and death for millions of Americans. You can’t “disrupt” or “innovate” your way out of needing boots-on-the-ground medicine.

@NickNiglio74 @flcro @irishrygirl Have you considered that the reason only 1 person died from measles (a disease that was nearly eradicated) in the last 4 years in the US WAS BECAUSE SO MANY PEOPLE ARE VACCINATED?? That is the clear reasoning. But somehow you are focusing on people using “fear” to save lives.

@flcro @irishrygirl I'm not saying vaccines don't work. A lot of them do. But trying to control a narrative using fear is a typical libtard mentality. 1 death in over four years in the US in not a call to action. The flu kills 12 to 50 thousand people a year, even after a vaccine.

If you’re a parent and you’re anti-vaxx, when your child comes down with the measles, when you’re sitting in the pediatric ICU listening to a dozen machines beeping, starring at your child hooked up with tubes, swollen brain and permanently blind..

Every American stands at the end of a decades-long effort to build & maintain systems — food, water, energy, public health — that support our lives. Schools should be teaching why it is imperative to join this effort, but aren’t. So we took a stab at it: thenewatlantis.com/publications/w…
