⚠️“SUBSTANTIAL DROP” in intelligence—#COVID19 survivors suffer severe cognitive deficit. Patients hospitalised on ventilators saw the biggest drop in on intelligence tests—equal to a **7-point drop in IQ**!
Larger than suffering stroke or lead poisoning!🧵news.sky.com/story/covid-19… Image
2) researchers found those who had contracted COVID saw the greatest underperformance on tasks requiring reasoning, planning and problem-solving compared to those who had not had the virus. ➡️ but they found a significant (starred) drop **even in mild patients too**! #LongCovid Image
3) "These results accord with reports of long-COVID, where 'brain fog', trouble concentrating and difficulty finding the correct words are common." the authors report.

Link to study… peer reviewed. thelancet.com/action/showPdf…
4) I have been warning about cognitive decline for months. The huge increase in risk of anxiety depression and insomnia of 2x higher risk is no coincidence!! See detailed thread 🧵 below.
5) What is the increase in psychiatric illness after any #COVID19 diagnosis? Up ⬆️ 58%. That is gigantic. This is after any diagnosis of Covid, not just specifically if LongCOVID—this is an overall increase across the board for infected!
6) if one has previous psychiatric illness… #COVID19 will bring it back… recurrent risk increase of ⬆️ 24-49%!
7) Bottomline— you do not want #COVID19 for yourself or anyone you know. And mass infection is not a valid plan!!

📌”findings show that #COVID19 survivors have significantly higher rates of psychiatric diagnoses” (including first time & recurrent)
8) If only someone warned about the IQ drop from #COVID19 after recovery back in November 2020… sometimes it sucks that we repeat hard pandemic lessons the hard way — especially that we knew much much earlier. Epidemiologists want to honestly vomit regularly. 🤦🏻‍♂️
9) New Bob Dylan verse: 🎼 how many IQ points must our children lose, before we can please give a damn? The answer my friends, is we should always save the kids, the reason is they are our future winds….
10) We *must must must* now be extra vigilant. There is a lot of studies on waning immunity / vulnerable vaccinated elderly / #DeltaVariant evasiveness — 🇮🇱 is reporting drops in infection efficacy (remember mild COVID still = cognitive deficits), and VE drop for severe too. ⬇️
11) extra vigilance with Covid also means both masks and airborne precautions especially indoors.
12) the CDC did get one thing right - with the need for indoor air quality improvements especially for schools. IMHO, this is just as important as masks. We need masks, vaccinations and ventilation/ indoor air quality improvements
13) gosh, #LongCovid affects soooo many organs. Nobody should want this. And damnit—No kid should be allowed to be afflicted with this. bmj.com/content/bmj/37… Image
14) I imagine Bob Dylan would ask this about protecting our children from #COVID19
15) COVID long term effects extend to more than just cognitive declines… many many organs damaged too.

⚠️PFAS IS BACK—recall the EPA plan to ban dangerous forever chemicals from drinking water ➡️Well, Trump WH just cancelled it… once again allowing big corporations to discharge PFAS into rivers. PFAS cause cancers & many diseases. Does this make American healthy again? Image
2) “There really isn’t a system within the human body that isn’t affected by PFAS. They are toxic in many ways, but they’re also very long-lived. They’re designed not to break down in the environment or not to break down to heat and chemical stress.”
michiganpublic.org/politics-gover…
3) CDC also just got banned from seeking any advice or input from the WHO — CDC can’t communicate or even enter any WHO building anymore. Perfect way to politically isolate CDC from outside science.

NEW—CDC officially ordered by Trump WH to cease working with the @WHO, effective immediately. This is the first time in almost 77 years since WHO’s founding after World War 2. This is a dark day. Image
2) the memo said the stop-work policy applied to “all CDC staff engaging with WHO through technical working groups, coordinating centers, advisory boards, cooperative agreements or other means — in person or virtual.”
3) It also says @CDCgov staff are not allowed to visit @WHO offices.

CDC ordered to stop working with WHO immediately, upending expectations of an extended withdrawal

🛑JUST CANCELLED—Trump HHS has just cancelled key meetings of the Presidential Advisory Council on Combating Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria (PACCARB) & CDC’s Environmental Public Health Threats meeting—➡️all because of Trump WH’s new blackout of all HHS external comms. My god. Image
Image
2) Trump WH is literally blocking all of this… including all CDC science reports and all FDA public alerts!
3) CDC’s bird flu tracker now frozen / muzzled today too. Worst possible timing.
