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…
And 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

Look.
There's just more and more sickness here.
This is what we're dealing with.

Whatever the reason, people are just sharing more and more infections with each other.

We need to change course because this is NOT making us healthier. Image
All these graphs are on the same timescale, 2015 to the end of 2024
They all use the same metric: rolling monthly totals based on weekly data.

Strap in.

This letter from Andrew Gwynne @gwynnemp is pathetic and he should be ashamed to have written it.

Let's break down the worst parts of it.

TLDR: If you have Long Covid, you're not going to get any help from this guy.
Mate, you work as an MP and a minister *full time*.

You're writing in reply talking about people who are fully debilitated. Permanently disabled and unable to work. Be very careful about comparing your experience to theirs, and making it sound like their experience is yours.
So 8 months ago there were 100 long covid centres that offered talking therapy and damaging physical therapy for conditions that were neurological and biochemical. 100 long covid centres that were *mostly harmful*.

I am just a bird on the internet, but I have a growing suspicion that flu and rsv infections do trigger the immune system in a way that *can* *help* *temporarily* *reduce* susceptibility to Covid.
By temporary I mean like a couple of weeks.
And I put 'can', 'help', 'temporarily', and 'reduce' all in asterisks to emphasise them because this isn't a "flu makes you immune to covid" scenario.

I don't think anyone yet understands the significance of the refinery and factory strikes last night in Russia.

They are attempts at critical hits to irreplaceable points in the military supply chain within Russia.

Pick out just one of the targets last night.

The Kazanorgsintez production facilities in Kazan.
It is Russia's **sole producer** of polycarbonate resin.

I had a very long conversation with a medical professional on a walk during the New Year's break.

They pestered me about why I'm covid cautious.
So I told them.
While I was telling them, they said to me "I'm not going to mask, and there's no point trying to persuade me to".

You've probably seen people use the phrase "I'm not overly concerned...", right?

It's a phrase with no meaning used to stop you thinking hard about what the person is saying.

That's a bad thing.
So let's do what they don't want you to do:

Let's think.
Let's stop and think about the words they're using.
