1990: “Plan Balcerowicz leidt tot verrassende resultaten”.

Deze “schoktherapie” leidde echter tot dramatische instabiliteit en armoede voordat economische groei werd herwonnen.

Zijn de monetized oligarchen nu Schoktherapie 2.0 aan het uitvoeren? 🧵

Balcerowics was bij lancering plan (1989) minister van Financiën van Polen en zat samen in commissie met oa George Soros en Jeffrey Sachs.

In 2001 werd Balcerowics president van de Centrale Bank in Polen.

Balcerowics bezocht in 2001 de “WEF primeur”:

“The World Economic Forum's European Economic Summit 2001 is the Foundation's sixth meeting [..], but the first to involve all of Europe in an integrated discussion of the major issues facing the continent.”

ICYMI—the CDC put out a nationwide warning about an outbreak of enterovirus #D68 last week. Between all the DOJ investigations & royal news, you probably missed it. But hospital pediatric beds are filling up with with this respiratory outbreak.
2) Yes, doctors report PICU hospital beds are full.
3) Here is the CDC warning— EV-D68 — a virus that in rare cases can trigger a polio-like syndrome — is circulating. That could presage a surge in cases of acute flaccid myelitis or #AFM in the coming weeks, experts warn.

Recently I've heard from collaborators in the US & Europe that #Enterovirus #D68 #EVD68 cases are on the rise.

EV-D68 is what I worked on pre-pandemic, & hope to go back to.
A significant autumn 2022 wave has been a recent concern.

So what is D68 & what might this mean?

1/17 From https://syndromictrends.com/ - doesn't break down betwe
#EVD68 is a Picornavirus - a diverse family of viruses. And Enteroviruses are pretty diverse themselves: from Poliovirus, which can cause serious neurological illness, to Rhinovirus - what's behind the common cold 🤧 (and even more in between).

2/17
One of the most notable things about #EVD68 is that in Europe & North America it's historically had biennial autumn outbreaks: in 2014, 2016, & 2018. Also predicted in 2020... but that didn't happen due to pandemic!
Following that pattern, 2022 would be an outbreak season🗓️

1. Europe is seeing an upswing in cases of an infection that has been linked to a polio-like phenomenon called #AFM — acute flaccid myelitis — according to a report today in @Eurosurveillanc. Enterovirus D68 is thought to trigger AFM in some kids. eurosurveillance.org/content/10.280…
2. From 2014 on, the US & Europe experienced cases of #AFM that left dozens of children dealing with some lingering paralysis after they had cold-like symptoms. AFM cases peaked every 2 years; but in socially-distance 2020, there was no surge. statnews.com/2021/02/04/doc…
3. Authorities in the US have been watching for #AFM this fall, figuring the loosening of Covid precautions & the return to in-person schooling could result in a spike in cases. So far this year that hasn't happened. Fewer cases than in 2020, even. cdc.gov/acute-flaccid-…

🚨 Interested in single-molecule imaging approaches and/or pore forming proteins? Check out this awesome work from Conall, James and Till at UNSW. Buckle up... 🧵

Hold up... if you haven't already done so - follow @Mol_Machines to keep up to date with their awesome single-molecule studies :)
In essence, the study uses #TIRF microscopy to extract #kinetic information, from movies like the one below, for the entire assembly pathway of the pore-forming protein, PFO. What might look like the night sky disappearing, is actually hundreds of independent pore-forming events.

1/9 Could graphene coverslips improve your single-molecule fluorescence and superresolution experiments? In our article in @AdvancedAms we combine #DNAorigami with #graphene to perform #singlemolecule #biophysics, #biosensing & #superresolution microscopy.
2/9 Graphene is almost transparent and quenches fluorescence in a range of ~40 nm. Fluorescence intensity or fluorescence lifetime of single molecules directly tell you the distance of a molecule to the surface. Differences in the z-direction as small as 2.9 nm are resolved. Image
3/9 Dynamics with graphene energy transfer (GET). We use GET to visualize motion on top of a graphene surface and determine the timescale of fluctuations via autocorrelation analysis. Image

🆘~71 persone, tra cui donne e bambini, sono in pericolo nella SAR maltese! Secondo le persone a bordo, il gommone si sta sgonfiando. Chiedono urgentemente aiuto! Abbiamo informato le autorità e chiediamo un rapido soccorso! Non lasciateli morire!
+++ URGENTE +++ Siamo stati richiamati dalle ~71 persone in pericolo nella zona SAR di #Malta. Chiedono urgentemente aiuto: stanno imbarcando acqua e ~10 persone sono cadute in mare! Le autorità sono informate. Serve soccorso ora!
Nonostante la presenza di #AFM sul posto da ieri sera, stamattina le ~71 persone non sono state ancora soccorse.
#Neverland è andato via e temiamo che #Malta stia nuovamente mettendo vite in pericolo mentre prova a organizzare un altro respingimento illegale verso la Libia.

🆘 ~71 people incl. women and children in distress in Maltese SAR! According to the people on board, the boat is deflating. They are urgently calling for help! We have informed the authorities and call for a swift rescue! Don't let them drown!
+++ URGENT +++ We were called again by the ~71 people in distress in #Malta SAR zone. They are urgently asking for help. They reported water entering the boat and that ~10 people went overboard! Authorities are informed. Rescue is needed now!
The merchant vessel #Neverland is near the people in distress but does not intervene. They are desperate and thirsty. Night is approaching and the situation gets more dangerous by the minute. It is Malta's duty to coordinate a rescue but they remain unresponsive to our calls! Image

These "toddler suddenly gets limp arm leg droopy face" stories (acute flaccid myelitis #afm) are going to bubble-burst once one irate Mother won't stop talking about her child's vaccines and/or one Nurse and/or one #CDCWhistleblower leaks the victims' anonymized #vaxxed data.
VIDEO Update: These limited-hangout 'polio-like #AFM mystery illness' stories are going to burst. Look at these damaged children. With CNN's Elizabeth Cohen of #CDCWhistleblower #Vaxxed fame: 'if your child has a drooping face'...

Mystery polio? Thread.
1) If you’re wondering why children are coming down with polio-like illnesses all over the country, we know why this is happening. It's absolutely no mystery. Health authorities have to pretend like they don’t know what’s going on. They do this every year.
2) This event happens every fall. Sometimes worse than others. Children from around the country come down with numbness, sometimes tingling, then paralysis in their extremities. It spreads.
3) It usually starts in the legs, then moves up the spinal column, sometimes reaching the muscles that control the expansion and contraction of their lungs, causing artificial respiration to be needed. This is what we use now instead of iron lungs.
