⚠️Listen up—Top 🇬🇧 scientists warns that “In the last week—there’s now evidence that T-cells…get damaged the same way that HIV and other RNA-virus damage T-cell immunity”. ➡️Prof Costello (@globalhlthtwit) raises serious concerns on #COVID19 & the 🧠—a🧵:
2) “My biggest worry all along has been the long term effects particularly on the brain. We know that people who get brain fog who get fatigue, cognitive problems, & smell and taste is very common—and that means the virus is affecting the brain 🧠”
3) “We know the virus can get intro the brain. We know the virus affects cells around blood vessels. I’m beginning to think—‘how long is this going to last’—because we have allowed millions of children to become infected with the virus.”
4) “And as @ArisKatzourakis said earlier, there’s **NO** real hard evidence [Omicron] is less virulent than delta in absence of vaccination! Now children have not (all) been vaccinated” 👀
5) What are some of the studies? Lots of basic science papers, but here is one study showing T cell death abnormality below… which contributes to #LongCovid
6) There is a surging mountain ⛰ of evidence on both #LongCovid - and particularly in kids. Notably, #LongCovidKids has tripled in kids in 6 months, and kids suffering longer than a year have DOUBLED! 👇 the Uk govt data doesn’t lie…
7) Apparently there’s a new trend emerging in South Africa of delayed death too… deaths are surging apparently over a month after cases had peaked.
8) “We know Epstein-Barr Virus causes multiple sclerosis. We know chickenpox causes shingles. We know that measles in a few children causes very nasty neurodegeneration… Zika virus destroying the brains of babies. Viruses are risky. What worries me is the scale of this virus.”👀
9) What’s the latest evidence that EBV causes multiple sclerosis? This Harvard-led study published in Science that found a 32-fold higher risk of developing MS with EBV. For context, smoking a pack a day & lung cancer risk is only around 10-15-fold. 32 fold is off the charts!
10) “From previous waves we believe 7% to 10% developed long COVID, but with Omicron, the numbers being infected are so high that even if just 1% of infected children get long COVID, ➡️ it’ll cause more pediatric long COVID cases than Delta.” 👀 timesofisrael.com/1st-kids-omicr…
11) With Omicron spreading fast in schools and other places where kids mix, significant hospitalizations are inevitable, according to Dr. Moshe Ashkenazi. “the sheer numbers being infected will mean children being hospitalized”
12) Let’s rewind time — scientists warned in mid-2020 that the “Coronavirus Short-Circuits the Immune System—In a disturbing parallel to H.I.V., the coronavirus can cause a depletion of important immune cells, recent studies found.” ➡️yet we ignored. 🤦🏻‍♂️
nytimes.com/2020/06/26/hea…
13) Notably, “In May 2020, Dr. Wherry and his colleagues posted online a paper showing a range of immune system defects in severely ill patients, including a loss of virus-fighting T cells in parts of the body.”
doi.org/10.1101/2020.0…
14) “In a separate study, the investigators identified three patterns of immune defects, and concluded that T cells and B cells, which help orchestrate the immune response, were inactive in roughly 30% of the 71 Covid-19 patients they examined”. (May 2020) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
15) I remember when some doctors made parallels to “airborne HIV”— while we now know #SARSCoV2 isn’t exactly same as HIV, it seems it definitely is very airborne & very harmful to T-cell immunity. ➡️ DO NOT RISK COVID—we don’t know what its #LongCovid is capable of!
16) Moral lesson, always be wary when someone hand waving dismisses #COVID19 as “mild” whenever they couldn’t have possibly had enough data to really know for sure.
17) **with caption** - listen to Professor Costello explain why he is so worried about #COVID19 damaging T cells and #LongCovid concerns for the brain.

18) P.s. it’s not just T cell damage of COVID. It’s also vascular damage too. Case in point. 👇
19) “Brain” damage of memory loss… you really don’t want #LongCovid!

⚠️ZERO ANIMAL CONTACT HOSPITALIZATION for H5 Bird Flu—the CDC has now confirmed the first ever U.S. human case “without a known occupational exposure to sick or infected animals”—which make this Missouri case very worrisome. Maybe community transmission.
cdc.gov/media/releases…
Image
2) H5 outbreaks in cattle have not been reported in Missouri, but outbreaks of H5 have been reported in commercial and backyard poultry flocks in 2024.

—>>so it doesn’t seem to have come from cows in the state. So maybe from birds?
3) So if rarely test, how did we even find it?

“While other novel flu cases have been detected through the country's national flu surveillance system, this is the first time that system has detected a case of H5. Targeted H5-outbreak specific surveillance has been conducted as part of ongoing animal outbreaks and has identified all the other cases. In this case, the specimen from the patient originally tested positive for flu A, but negative for seasonal flu A virus subtypes. That finding triggers additional testing.”

BREAKING—the FDA has just authorized the new Novavax vaccine, tailored to JN1 related variants. Anyone age 12 and over are eligible. You may receive it 2 months after a prior version of COVID-19 shot (and prior infection, though FDA memo didn’t specify).
fda.gov/news-events/pr…
Image
2) Also, the FDA has further authorized a 2nd shot of the new 2024-2025 formulated Novavax shot for people who are immunocompromised, at the doctor’s discretion. (Bullet point #4 below) Image
3) NAMING—Do not just refer to the shot as “2024” Keep the nomenclature of the new COVID shot straight - the newest one adapted for JN1-related variants is called the “2024-2025 formula”, while the old one was called the “2023-2024 formula”. The old one is no longer authorized. Image

Scientists have discovered more than 1,700 ancient viruses deep inside a Tibetan glacier. Most of them are completely new to science. These ancient viruses are now being thawed out from glaciers and Siberian tundras.

2) This is no joke.

Arctic zombie viruses in Siberia could spark terrifying new pandemic, scientists warn

Threat of outbreak from microbes trapped in permafrost for millennia raised by increased Siberian activity

theguardian.com/society/2024/j…
3) The reason permafrost is a good storage medium isn’t just because it’s cold; it’s an oxygen-free environment that light doesn’t penetrate. But current Arctic temperatures are warming up to 4x faster than rest of 🌏, weakening the top layer of permafrost

JUST IN— W.H.O. Declares Global Emergency Over New Mpox Outbreak. The threat this time is deadlier. Since the beginning of this year, the Democratic Republic of Congo alone has reported more than 14,000 mpox cases and 524 deaths. Those most at risk include women and children under 15. The outbreak has spread through 13 countries in Africa, including a few that had never reported mpox cases before.

2) public health emergency of international concern— Also known as PHEIC, this is a status given by WHO to “extraordinary events” that pose a public health risk to other countries through the international spread of disease.

cnn.com/2024/08/14/hea…
3) The Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention declared the outbreak a public health emergency of continental security the day before — the first such declaration by the agency since its inception in 2017.

Concerning—CDC now says that 42 states are seeing rising rates of #COVID19 again—with levels high or very high in 35 states (and rising). COVID wastewater levels have already surpassed last summer’s peak and climbing fast. #CovidIsNotOver
cdc.gov/forecast-outbr…

2) Substantial 28% increase in one week. Question is how high it will go. It’s a new variant (mostly KP2 and KP3 and JN1), which are evasive against past infection and past vaccines.
3) COVID is surging in many countries worldwide. Eg in Italy where deaths are also climbing once again. New variants, new surges.

A girl using cover name JANE DOE testified under oath at Ghislaine Maxwell’s criminal trial that she was introduced to Trump by Jeffrey Epstein when she was 14 years old. Pass it on.
Trump’s name appears 7 times in Epstein’s latest files. They regularly called each other according to phone logs. Trump says Epstein is a “terrific guy”. And he traveled on flights, according to logs, to Epstein’s island multiple times.
3) THIS STUFF IS NEW—not old Epstein-Trump info. New information regarding Epstein's child trafficking activities was released 7/2/24. Documents from 2016 are now out of date and do not show the depth of Trump's dealings with Epstein... READ MORE:
