Minimisers:
"If Covid dysregulated the immune system, why aren't we seeing an increase in opportunistic infections, eh?!"

The opportunistic infections: Graphs showing the rise of: Drug resistant Kleb, E Coli, Enterobacter, Citrobacter, Other Crypto Hominis Crypto Parvum Rare Crypto Shigella Whooping Cough Legionella TB Listeria Mycoplasma pneumoniae Polyomaviruses
The UKHSA have the gall to say that some of these outbreaks only seem large due to improved testing, when testing rates for them actually *decreased*.

Don't listen to their spin. Look at the big picture.
And all the little pictures.
Data from here:
gov.uk/government/pub…
While we're here, there's no immunity debt to crypto parvum or hominis.

You know what there is though?

There's immunity damage that allows them in.
Also worth noting:
Some of these trends were in operation before Covid, but have increased further since.
And yes, some of these infections are in perfect sync with Covid waves, and some... follow in perfect sync *afterwards*.
Here they are with labels highlighting the years for which there is data available:

And here's what they look like with the same timescales on every graph. Image
And here's an extra version with Strep A notifications, Measles, and Hep D: Image

Right.
This is a long-brewed thread, and I've tried to start writing it before and then ground to a halt and then tried again and just given up because it gets messy and weird...

But I'd like to write a little about Rupert Murdoch, and what the heck is wrong with him.
Let's cut straight to the chase.
For decades and decades and decades, over 70 years, Murdoch has built his media empire.... by debasing people.

Right.
I've been pondering on this for a few months, and I think the Norovirus/Rotavirus contrast may be a clue to what repeat *covid infections* are doing to people. Image
Image
And the fact that the UKHSA have come out and said that Noro may get **even worse** this year is a big red flag.

(Although there's a big possibility that they're just saying that so that when cases go down they can say they saved us from a second wave.)
These two graphs are quite complicated.
Here's weekly lab confirmed Rotavirus cases in mauve since July 24. (Ed: mauve?)
They match pretty consistently with the 5 year average for each of those weeks (blue line), which itself hasn't changed much in five years. Image

Thank you, New York Times.

But I think 'alarmists' might be the wrong word then? "The covid alarmists were closer to the truth than anyone else"
I had forgotten this little story about Elon Musk:
"I was reminded of this all recently when reading about a similar bet that the writer and podcaster Sam Harris said he made with his former friend Elon Musk at the beginning of the pandemic...

Very interesting new paper.
I hope this thread does it justice. 😬

"An integrated airborne transmission risk assessment model for respiratory viruses: short- and long-range contributions" Image
A new study from Royal Society Interface...

It's an update on the advanced airborne transmission model that shifts a little how we assess infection risks in indoor spaces.
TLDR: Short range spread is ten times as intense as long range spread.

If you're old and slow like me, then that Trump Gaza video goes too quick to absorb its full insanity.

So I took a few screenshots for you to digest at leisure.

This is something genuinely posted by *the President of The United States Of America*.Image
Let's work from the back end forward.
Trump just wants to make money and be successful and own shiny things made of gold.
This is his goal Image

It suddenly clicked today - the scary thing about this time round is that it isn't just Trump that is Putin's puppet.

With the safeguards removed, it's *the USA* that is now Putin's puppet.
With people like Gabbard, Patel, and Musk in place, the USA is taken, Washington has fallen.
In terms of international blocs, there is effectively no more "The West".
