THREAD🧵 on Professor Jeremy Nicholson & COVID-19

👹🦠🧑🏾‍🔬 👹🦠 🧑🏾‍🔬 👹🦠 🧑🏾‍🔬 👹🦠 🧑🏾‍🔬 👹🦠🧑🏾‍🔬

This world-leading scientist has dedicated himself to researching the effects of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus.

Now he calls it "the Satan bug" …

2) COVID DEBATE …

"It's over"
🗣️ Sweden's Minister of Health, 2022-02-09
& many governments by now

─ vs. ─

"It's not over."
"I'm going to explain why now."

🧑🏾‍🔬Professor Jeremy Nicholson, 2022-02-10

Invited lecture at Uppsala University, Sweden

3) JEREMY NICHOLSON BIO:

👨🏾‍🔬 Pioneered field of metabonomics, aka metabolic profiling
👨🏾‍🔬 Working towards high quality, inexpensive, personalised healthcare for all
👨🏾‍🔬 "100-100" aim: people live 100 years & 100 y healthy
👨🏾‍🔬 Led building of 15 'super laboratories' in 9 countries.

4) JN's SUPERLAB

🟣 JN is Director of Australian National Phenome Centre
🟣 💯 dedicated to C19 since Feb 2020
🟣 10,000s C19 blood samples from 🌍

"We bring this incredibly comprehensive biochemical view of the disease & coupled with the best samples in the world."
🧑🏾‍🔬JN Oct'20

5) OBJECTIVE MEASUREMENTS OF COVID'S EFFECTS

E.g. JN does box plots for 6⃣0⃣0⃣ blood chemical concentrations (or conc. ratios):
📊 Vert axis is conc
📊 Each dot is a sample meas
📊 Box vert pos+size shows conc spread

⤵️ 9 example plots, a-i
🟩=no C19
🟥=acute C19
🟦=3 months on

6) 🚨 COVID-19 ACUTE

"The thing that makes it unique, is it has a multiple system failure signature.

It stands out like a sore thumb.”
👨🏾‍🔬JN, Aug'20

🧐
⤵️ All 9 example blood chemical concentrations (& many not shown) are perturbed:
🟥=C19acute is either above or below 🟩=noC19

7) 🚨 COVID-19 LONG TERM

"Very few people, even at 6 months, have actually metabolically, functionally recovered.

They may have stopped coughing but they've still got a lot of other things wrong with them.”
👨🏾‍🔬JN, Nov’21

🧐
⤵️ E.g. d still perturbed:
🟦C19+3mth is below 🟩noC19

8) 🚨 COVID-19 IN CHILDREN

Children have milder respiratory symptoms BUT …

“When we look at the biochemistry, it’s just as seriously affected as in adults."
🧑🏾‍🔬Prof. Jeremy Nicholson, 2022-04-02

Also,
about 1% then develop the disease 'MIS-C'.

9) 🚨 COVID-19 & EMERGENT DISEASES

“There are also emergent diseases that have been enhanced by COVID-19.

The information on long term risks is very much stronger than it was even 6 months ago.”
👨🏾‍🔬Prof. Jeremy Nicholson, 2022-05-05

📽️ @ 16m31s:

10) JN ON COVID-19 VACCINATION

"It certainly reduces the lung severity quite a lot. What vaccination does not completely protect you from is all the systemic effects." [2022-02-10]

🌍 "We've cut back on vaccination & there are a lot of political reasons for that.” [2022-05-05]

11) JN ON HERD IMMUNITY

"[COVID-19] causes long term disastrous effects. [This] totally destroys the idea of herd immunity.

It becomes nonsense, because everybody in the population becomes a long term sick."
🧑🏾‍🔬Prof. Jeremy Nicholson, September 2020

12) JN on C19 THREAT

"An absolutely unprecedented disease in terms of its complexity, but also because of its unique economic coupling which has crippled the world."
[2020-10-05]

"It’s the closest thing we’ve ever seen in modern times to a real threat to humanity."
[2021-06-19]

13) JEREMY NICHOLSON & THE SATAN BUG …

In COVID-19 lectures, JN shows a 1965 movie poster that he has scrawled on in red ink, & reads it out.

“As far as I'm concerned, SARS-CoV-2 is the Satan bug.”
