(1/n) There are some interesting connections between Toxoplasmosis and #COVID19, #LongCovid as well as #COVIDvaccine–related adverse events.

- The symptoms of Toxoplasmosis and #COVID19/ #LongCovid are similar:
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P… Image
(2/n) - The seropositivity of Toxoplasma gondii among adults is age dependent (nature.com/articles/srep2…). This age-depence is also seen in #COVID19 (link.springer.com/article/10.100…) and #LongCovid (medrxiv.org/content/10.110…) Image
(3/n) - Men have a higher chance of having toxoplasmosis (odds ratio 1.8, nature.com/articles/srep2…).
Men are more likely to die from #COVID19 (link.springer.com/article/10.100…).
And there are also more #CovidVaccine related deaths in men (openvaers.com/covid-data)
(4/n) - Latent toxoplasmosis is characterized by CD8 T cell exhaustion (ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…). This has been also observed in #COVID19 patients with worse infections (nature.com/articles/s4142…, nature.com/articles/s4142…) Image
(5/n) - Ivermectin significantly inhibites the replication of Toxoplasma gondii (ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…) - and it is effective for #Covid_19 early treatment and prophylaxis (ivmmeta.com) ImageImage
(6/n) It would be interesting to study if people that have a more severe disease course of #COVID19, die from it or have #LongCovid have also a latent T. gondii infection.
(7/n) An infection with SARS-CoV-2 possibly leads to a reactivation of T- gondii in people with chronic toxoplasmosis – with effects on the acute disease course and chronic symptoms (#LongCovid)
(8/n) There might be a link also between latent toxoplasmosis & adverse events after #COVIDVaccination since the induced CD8 T response (
fiercebiotech.com/biotech/pfizer…) after vaccination may leads to CD8 T cells being primarely busy with the injected serum - to the delight of T-gondii
(9/n) There is a similarity between the global prevalence of latent toxoplasmosis (sciencedirect.com/science/articl…) and #COVID19 epidemological indices, e.g. the CRF: ImageImage
(10/n) Concerning #COVID19 and toxoplasmosis, please also have a look at this excellent article by Kevin Roe: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P… Image
(11/n) Glutathione (GSH) is a tripeptide with many important physiological functions (e.g. detoxification, antioxidant, vital to mitochondrial function, ...).
People with latet toxoplasmosis have a low GSH value: journals.ekb.eg/article_131421… Image
(12/n) A low GSH value is also associated with #COVID19 pathogenesis & outcomes: pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.102…. GSH deficiency exacerbates the #COVID19 disease course. Image
(13/n) The GSH concentraton in the blood of #COVID19 patients correlates with the severity of the diease: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Image
(14/n) A #SARS_CoV_2 infection seem to be able to directly impair the metabolism & redox function of cellular glutathione: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Image
(15/n) I suspect that in #LongCovid & post-acute #COVID19 #vaccination syndrome (#PACVS), GSH depletion & oxidation of cellular glutathione to its disulphide form (GSSG) is happening.
Chronic GSH depletion due to latent toxoplasmosis is making this more likely.
(16/n) Could there be also a link to the importance of vitamin D in #Covid_19? (sciencedirect.com/science/articl…).
Some studies show that toxoplasmosis is not associated with a decreased vitamin D level: flegr.com/wp-content/upl… - some show the opposite (ijs.uobaghdad.edu.iq/index.php/eijs…), e.g.: Image
(17/n) Artemisia annua (thanks for the hint, @FreeAwareness) is useful to control T. gondii infection: sciencedirect.com/science/articl….
And Artemisia is currently being investigated for #COVID19 treatment & prevention: link.springer.com/article/10.100… ImageImage
(18/n) There is also a link to kynurenic acid (KA; a product of tryptophan metaolism): it may underlie sex-specific immune responses to #COVID19: stke.sciencemag.org/content/14/690… (=> poorer clinical outcomes in males).
KA is also involved in latent toxoplasmosis: academic.oup.com/schizophreniab… Image

Important presentation by pathologist Prof. Dr. Arne Burkhardt (Germany) yesterday (3 May 2023) in the EU Parliament at the International COVID Summit III on his discoveries in 75 autopsies of people who died in connection with COVID-19 vaccination.
Summary of his slides: Image
(2/11)
- In 77% of the autopsies, the findings indicate that «vaccination had an important impact on the death process»
- «... all organs are affected»
- «... the spike protein is in practially in all organs, mainly in the vessels»
- Image of vessel damage: Image
(3/11)
- Heart tissue with desintegrated musscle fibers and lymphocytic infiltration
- Detection of spike protein in the heart tissue Image

(1/9) The blood clot mystery
The new documentary “Died Suddenly” (rumble.com/v1wac7i-world-…) shows impressive footage of unusual blood cloths (microclots & white fibrous clots) of deceased vaccinated people.
Here is a compilation of the images: Image

(1/n) Important new discovery:
Not only viruses can be transmitted by air but also ANTIBODIES!
Aerosol-mediated antibody transfer.
" ... an entirely unrecognized mechanism ..."
medrxiv.org/content/10.110… Image
(2/n) Anti-SARS-CoV-2 specific antibodies were found in the eluted from surgical face masks worn by vaccinated lab members donated at the end of one workday: Image
(3/n) With regard to the #CovidVaccine, UNVACCINATED children of VACCINATED adults were found to have anti-SARS-CoV-2 specific antibodies! Children of UNVACCINATED adults did not have them.
Parents who got the #CovidVaccine seem to transmit antibodies in the exhaled aerosol. Image

(1/6) Interesting & important data: #COVID19 cases, hospitalizations & deaths as a function of time from 1st & 2nd #Covidvaccine dose.
Data from Alberta, Canada.
Unfortunately deleted from the website.

(2/6) COVID-19 CASES after 1st and 2nd Covid vaccine dose.
A large peak in the period of about 0-14 days after the first vaccination and after about 6 months after the second vaccination. Image
(3/6) COVID-19 HOSPITALIZATIONS after 1st and 2nd Covid vaccine dose.

(1/n)Happy New Year!
The immaturity of humanity can be beautifully exemplified by New Year's fireworks:
- A deliberate pollution of the air by highly toxic chemicals
- Consciously creating an acoustic-visual situation reminiscent of war
- Scaring and frightening the animals Image
(2/n)
Common fireworks release barium, lead, copper, aluminum, titanium, strontium & other toxic metals into the air: …eandfibretoxicology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11… Image

The air is very polluted at the turn of the year:
