Viral infections don’t just go away.

They hide.

They set you up for future issues like heart disease or autoimmune disorders.

The real damage hits long after you think you’re in the clear.

In 1993, the Four Corners region of the United States (where Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and Utah meet) faced a mysterious outbreak.

Healthy young adults began dying suddenly of respiratory failure.

Their lungs filled with fluid in days, and doctors had no explanation.

1/
The cause was traced to a new pathogen: hantavirus pulmonary syndrome.

Investigators discovered that unusually heavy rains had fueled a population boom of deer mice, the primary reservoir.

Their droppings carried the virus, and simple household exposure became lethal.

2/
By the end of the year, dozens had died. Mortality approached 40%.

The shock was that these were not the elderly or chronically ill, but young and previously healthy adults.

🚨 SEMAGLUTIDE SLOWS AGING?

A new double-blind trial shows the GLP-1 drug (yes, the Ozempic one) reverses epigenetic age across multiple methylation clocks.

Not in mice.

In humans.

With stats.

1/ Image
📉 Epigenetic age dropped by:
-3.1 years (PCGrimAge)
-4.9 years (PhenoAge)
-2.2 years (OMICmAge)
≈9% slower biological pace (DunedinPACE)

All significant.

All in just 32 weeks.

2/
This was in adults with HIV-associated lipohypertrophy — a population with accelerated aging markers.

Still, results were strong and consistent across 11 aging clocks.

Semaglutide rewired biological time.

🚨 NEW STUDY: Bitcoin mining in Texas is killing people.

Not metaphorically.

Literally — through fossil fuel pollution.

Peer-reviewed. Quantified. Brutal.

Let’s break it down. 🧵

1/ Image
The core stat:

Bitcoin mining in Texas caused 1,200 premature deaths due to air pollution from fossil fuel-powered electricity.

That’s proof-of-death from proof-of-work.

Each dollar of Bitcoin mined = $2 in societal health damage
(from hospitalizations, chronic illness, and early death)

New H5N1 bird flu study just dropped

It’s brutal.

This is a real-world proof-of-concept for mammalian adaptation.

It shows H5N1 doesn’t need years or massive jumps to evolve.

It can do it in a single host.

That makes spillover-to-sustained-transmission far more plausible than officials have let on.

1/Image
Researchers found 100% lethality and 100% transmission in mice when exposed to an H5N1 strain with the E627K mutation *after just one passage*

2/
Experiment 1 (4 infected mice to 1 uninfected):

100% transmission to the uninfected mouse.

100% of mice died.

The E627K mutation went from 4% to nearly 100% in the lungs and brains within 6 days.

That newly dominant version was then successfully transmitted.

Engineered Doubt 🧵

The goal isn’t to convince you ivermectin works.

The goal is to convince you nothing else does.

That your doctors are corrupt.

Your regulators compromised.

That NIH, CDC, and WHO are part of a global plot.

The drug is a symbol.

The strategy is demoralization.

1/Image
Start with the image.

Search ivermectin on Yandex.

What you get is far from scientific consensus.

You get a front page of praise, miracle cures, and purchasing options.

Russian, English, black-market, gray-market packaged as truth.

It’s deliberate.

It’s not information. It’s bait.

2/
Yandex isn’t a search engine.

It’s an instrument.

A soft weapon of narrative warfare.

It reflects Kremlin-aligned information architecture, pushing anti-Western, anti-scientific sentiment cloaked in populist aesthetics.

What we’re watching across North America is a controlled demolition of public health.

1/
Pay attention.

The edge isn’t coming.

We’re already falling.

2/
Through budget cuts, normalization of failure, and relentless messaging that teaches people to expect less.

No alerts. No urgency. No truth.
