⚠️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!

⚠️BREAKING—ICU Hospitalized human bird flu case in Canada now officially confirmed as H5N1. Worse, it is the same 2.3.4.4b virus clade (variant group) as the one found in BC🇨🇦 poultry and in Washington state🇺🇸! The hospitalized teenager (with no pre existing conditions) had no animal contact, does not live on farm, had “deterioration quite rapid” and now critical in ICU with ARDS. Canada officials says infectious period is 2 days **prior to symptoms** (ie asymptomatic transmission) and infectious up to 10 days.Image

My god—Google Search for “what is a tariff” sudden spikes the DAY AFTER ELECTION DAY. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Image
2) many folks simply don’t understand what a tariff is — unless you explain it several times to them with analogies. Even then, it’s hard for many to grasp. Eg 👇
3) Ah shit… it’s now gotten worse. Why do so many people do their hw late??,

Plastic cookware should not be used. Period. Especially BLACK PLASTIC cookware, that often mixes in toxic recycled electronic waste materials. DISPOSE OF ALL PLASTIC COOKWARE, especially if black colored plastic ones. Pass it on to your family.

2) Because optical sensors in recycling facilities can’t detect them, black-colored plastics are largely rejected from domestic-waste streams, resulting in a shortage of black base material for recycled plastic. So the demand for black plastic appears to be met “in no insignificant part” via recycled e-waste, according to Turner’s research. TV and computer casings, like the majority of the world’s plastic waste, tend to be recycled in informal waste economies with few regulations and end up remolded into consumer products, including ones, such as spatulas and slotted spoons, that come into contact with food.
3) You simply do not want flame retardants anywhere near your stir-fry. Flame retardants are typically not bound to the polymers to which they are added, making them a particular flight risk: They dislodge easily and make their way into the surrounding environment. And, indeed, another paper from 2018 found that flame retardants in black kitchen utensils readily migrate into hot cooking oil. The health concerns associated with those chemicals are well established: Some flame retardants are endocrine disruptors, which can interfere with the body’s hormonal system, and scientific literature suggests that they may be associated with a range of ailments, including thyroid disease, diabetes, and cancer. People with the highest blood levels of PBDEs, a class of flame retardants found in black plastic, had about a 300 percent increase in their risk of dying from cancer compared with people who had the lowest levels, according to a study released this year. In a separate study, published in a peer-reviewed journal this month, researchers from the advocacy group Toxic-Free Future and from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam found that, out of all of the consumer products they tested, kitchen utensils had some of the highest levels of flame retardants.

⚠️MASK MANDATE RETURNING TO ALL NIH PATIENT CLINICS—Effective November 4, 2024, masking will be required in all patient care & waiting rooms. Furthermore, testing for COVID, flu A, flu B, and RSV will be required for all inpatients & rooming-in visitors.

2) This means wearing a mask will be REQUIRED in all patient care areas, including waiting rooms. ➡️This change is due to an anticipated increase in COVID-19 and other respiratory virus activity in the community. 😷
3) I think people should stock up on COVID tests again. The Cheapest COVID test on the U.S. market is now as low as $1.50 with special promo code “COV20”… expiring Jan or March 2025.
