Zionist trolls and other racists said this viral tweet is evidence Gaza wasn't an open air prison. Here are all the ways in which Gaza, despite the resilience and ingenuity of Palestinians which saw them build joyful lives, was an open air prison run on apartheid rules 🧵

Gaza City this time last year. Now almost completely destroyed. The scale of the loss is beyond comprehension. A crime against humanity in the truest meaning of the words

@HannahPosted The thing about the twist in the Good Place is that if you know there is a twist coming, it’s incredibly obvious what the twist is. I was lucky to watch it as it aired, so was unaware, and when I told anybody about it, never mentioned anything about a twist.

Folks are asking how to prepare for bird flu. Here's the first part of my work on this. This is going to be a three part essay, focusing first on what you can do BEFORE things happen, second on what things might be like when H5N1 begins to go human to human...

Four possible reactions to a *lot* of people sick with COVID in summer 2024: 1. Surprised, fine with it. 2. Not surprised, fine with it. 3. Surprised, not fine with it. 4. Not surprised, not fine with it. By this point, only folks in #4 can reasonably be considered "experts".

If I could choose just four studies out of the over 500 I’ve reviewed to convince you to take precautions from SARS-CoV-2, the following would be on my list: 1. The Lancet just published a compelling study of >16 million people demonstrating the risk of type 2 diabetes after COVID-19 was significantly higher in unvaccinated individuals compared to vaccinated ones. Hospitalized COVID-19 patients faced a dramatically higher risk of developing diabetes, which declined over time but remained elevated. Most importantly, 60% of those diagnosed with type 2 diabetes after COVID-19 continued to have the condition 4 months later (lnkd.in/dzUyVzsb). 2. A study in The New England Journal of Medicine from February (2024) shows alarming accelerated cognitive decline in all individuals infected with SARS-CoV-2, even after a recovery period (lnkd.in/dHq9GaJG). 3. A preprint on macaque monkeys reveals that even mild and asymptomatic cases of COVID-19 can lead to the formation of Lewy bodies post-infection (lnkd.in/dDz6XkBi). Moreover, a peer-reviewed study on rhesus monkeys showed an equally disturbing increased presence of tau proteins, in all monkeys (lnkd.in/dn75GpUd). 4. The 2007 SARS1 mouse study, which is crucial for understanding the potential severity of coronavirus infections. No mouse survived beyond the 16th serial passage, a phenomenon we refer to as the "rule of 15" or the “passthrough rule.” This shows evidence of the evolutionary process and the dangers of allowing it to spread unabated (lnkd.in/db9xBuhw). Given the compelling evidence from these studies alone (with intentional omission of the immune dysfunction, elevated cardiac/stroke risk and gut problems), it should be clear as day, that this virus is NOT by any means “mild.” It can do lasting damage on the metabolic system and central nervous system which impairs everyday physical and cognitive functioning. It can cause performance errors and incapacity to work. It’s dangerous and threatens our way of life. The public has been lied to and cleaning indoor air, masking indoors and vaccinating against SARS-CoV-2 are essential public health measures. Note that I’ve left out studies showing increased risk rising with repeated infection, and I’ve omitted studies showing the efficacy of precautions… because people don’t take precautions unless they agree that infection poses a serious concern. And until now, we are fighting survival bias and people who think “brain fog” is some kind of rite of passage to immunity. People don’t understand brain fog from SARS2 is brain damage. People also don’t understand that not being hospitalized isn’t some kind of gold star participation award that keeps you free of lifelong effects from pathogens that can persist in your blood, bone and organs. Until they understand what they’re doing to their bodies and brains, they’ll take zero action. Explain it to them, before it’s too late.

I don't fly by plane, so I hadn't really been paying much attention to air on planes, but I just had one of those "wait a second, how does ventilation work on a jet airplane" moments wondering why the CO2 doesn't just keep rising during flight, so I did a quick search...

You know what sucks? Watching your 19 year old daughter too weak and tired to do simple tasks. Yesterday we went to my aunt's house for the 4th. She was too weak and tired to HOLD her plate of food. People kept asking her if she was OK. 1/

Masking isn't all or nothing. 95% is vastly better than 0%. Yes, you can in principle get infected in a brief exposure of you take it off, but the duration of exposure matters, as does the size and diversity of the inoculum should you become infected. mdpi.com/1660-4601/21/6…

Imagine being a badass scientist, MIT Physics, Forbes 30u30, and having millions of followers on multiple social media communicating about sciences. Just married, full of hopes and dreams. Suddenly, this is everyday life for you. This is the reality of @thephysicsgirl and so many others. It can happen to anyone. #LongCovid #NotjustaFlu

HOLY SHIT. These mechanistic findings about covid's impact on immune signaling seem potentially HUGE! Let's dig in... (And I'm honestly ecstatic right now, because this paper seems to support my hypothesis about *how* I personally avoided LC.) 1/

A new gold standard review of 100 studies finds: - masks are effective in reducing transmission of respiratory diseases - N95 respirators are significantly more effective than medical or cloth masks - mask mandates are effective in reducing community transmission

Your risk of #LongCOVID rises with each additional infection. A recent study has shown that by their third COVID infection, patients have a 40% chance of developing Long COVID symptoms. Learn more about the threat of Long COVID: modernatx.com/en-US/media-ce…

Why should we care about a virus with a "99.8% survival rate"? This thread highlights the actual impact a virus with a high survival rate can have on the population and why it is all the people who survive that we should be most worried about. 🧵1/ #covid #LongCovid #Health
