. I was going to leave this alone, but I can't help replying, @chrisvanderveen.

This is not directed at you, personally, as it is the CDC is to blame. Which means the President is to blame as they appoint the CDC director.

We can only know what we know.

🧵
Your reply above regarding the emergency phase being over, is ironic, given it happens in the context of a reply to your thread (that I liked) observing the absurdity of focused protection.

When, in fact, focused protection is the position of the CDC today. Image
Use focused protection if you or a family member is at high risk.

High risk is an interesting term.

I used to point out that the CDC definition had 74% of Americans as high risk for acute damage.

But the CDC hasn't mentioned that in years - or LongCovid.
They certainly have never mentioned that at least two studies have found by the 3rd infection, we all have a 38% of LongCovid.

The CDC has never shared the danger to singular organ damage that is not part of the 200+ possible symptoms of LC.
The CDC has revised down the isolation period from
14 to 10 to 5 to 1 day today - at the behest of corporations. While the disease still has 60% of people breathing out infectious virus on day 9.

If I recall correctly, 25% on day 12 or do.
If you are breathing out hot infectious COVID, you are going to be starting chains of transmission that end up hitting the high risk, including the elderly.

The CDC has revised the definitions of dying "with" and "for" COVID, skewing the data for mortality down.
Hospitals no longer have to track who is hospitalized with Covid.

The CDC is no longer tracking case counts.

Wastewater tracking is very scarce, in actuality.

As a Democrat who voted for Biden based on him ending COVID, I have been aghast at what he has had the CDC do.

The worst thing was to disappear COVID like Pinochet disappeared his people.

Is that going too far? I would argue no.

800,000 dead under Biden. Countless LongCovid
cases. In fact, Biden has out-Pinochet'd Pinochet on a sheer numbers basis.

I will confess I find it amusing that COVID most likely enfeebled him after the first infection, and ended his candidacy after the second.

What I do not find amusing is that Trump will make everything
worse yet.

I also do not find amusing this study will go unremarked upon by all of public health (PH)

The CDC feeds info to state PH, that goes into county PH, that goes to city PH.

Vaccines reduce the odds of it happening, but does not stop it.

Just like vaccinations reduce LC, but does not stop it.

Vaccination effects to significantly prevent COVID infections last about 4 months, post vaccination.

With infections come the LC, the spikes in the brain, and immune system perturbations.

You probably have seen
the term "Airborne AIDS" - this is not that.

Instead, it causes your immune system to be less efficient, such that for at least 8 months after COVID, you are more likely to get sick from other opportunistic pathogens.

How much time, or PTO off do we all have to burn on being
sick?

Especially since we get COVID every 1.25 years as opposed to every 5.5 years for seasonal influenza.

I have sources, citations, etc for all of the above. They are on my timeline for anyone reading this.

Only for you, Chris, will I dig up each requested src.

(I am
inoculating myself again at the inevitable time-suck troll that will pop up on this thread, "just asking questions.")

Also on my timeline are tips on how to find breathable N95s, use a sipmask for hydration, etc.

Everything needed to stop COVID from being a personal emergency.

.Airborne Dementia - got your attention?

@amy_fleming- great article! Dr. Schultek - fascinating study!

As one of a hive mind of clean air advocates, I think we can add something to this conversation.

🌬️ 🧵 🌬️
Quick intro - the study shares a variety of pathogens leading to dementia.

Below, we have Cryptococcus neoformans, a fungal infection, taking out a 70 year old man - but he was cured! 👇

Pleasantly surprising, the CDC has it marked as by inhalation.

. cdc.gov/cryptococcosis…A recent paper she jointly lead-authored, published in Alzheimer’s and Dementia, compiled a long list of case reports where infectious disease was discovered to be the primary cause of dementia, meaning that, in many cases, the dementia was reversible. A few of the patients died, but most survived and saw significant improvements in cognitive function, including a man in his 70s who had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease after his swift cognitive decline saw him unable to drive or, eventually, leave the house alone. A sample of his cerebrospinal fluid was taken and revealed a fungal in...
Cryptococcosis is a serious fungal infection caused by breathing in fungal spores in the environment.
Unpleasantly, but not surprisingly, the CDC has completely abrogated its responsibilities at prevention.

cdc.gov/cryptococcosis…

So, here we go....

We spend 90% of our lives indoors.
epa.gov/report-environ….

We spend 5% of each day in a car.

fatherly.com/gear/how-much-… Prevention steps and strategies It's difficult to avoid breathing in Cryptococcus in areas where it is in the environment. There are no formal recommendations to prevent cryptococcal infection. However, most people who breathe in Cryptococcus never get sick from it.  People with symptoms that may be caused by Cryptococcus, should see a healthcare provider as soon as possible

Not often do I stare at a news story with my jaw hanging open.

🔥 🧵 🔥

@Raw_Farm has been forced to halt all sales of their "Bird Flu Milk" by the California state, because their dairy cows have #H5N1.

The Cali gov can say, "Told you so."

latimes.com/environment/st…
This comes two days ago after Mark McAfee swore up and down that his cows were not infected.

latimes.com/environment/st…McAfee said he does not think the virus is present in his herd. The tests that the state's agriculture department have been regularly conducting twice a week on his bulk milk have been negative. In addition, he noted, a test taken on Monday also showed no virus.  In addition, he said, he monitors each cow at his farms with a high- tech device - made by the Austrian company smaXtec - which sits in a cow's udder and sends real-time information about the animal's body temperature, milk acidity, etc.
Less than two days ago after his screams that he was being persecuted by the state.

Less than a week after California health officers confirmed a finding of bird flu virus in store-bought raw milk, state agriculture officials descended on Mark McAfee’s Raw Milk dairy “like never before” Wednesday and began collecting samples from the farm’s two herds, creamery, bulk milk tanks and trucks, according to the owner.

Bhattacharya is an unserious person for a serious position.

A quick break down of his comments.

I thought the beginning where they share a snide laugh about LongCovid spoke volumes.

Then, Bhattacharyra (or Bhattie for short), talks about 100 million missed cancer screenings.
100 million cancer screenings missed - this is a serious issue.

Decent write-up below.

But what Bhattacharyra does not mention is the WHY.

theguardian.com/society/2022/n…
Hospitals were slammed BECAUSE of C0V1D the disease, even WITH the lockdowns. If Bhatttie had his way, and no lockdowns, it would been exponentially worse.

People were also avoiding hospitals because they did not want to catch Covid.



Next, Bhattie nature.com/articles/s4301…First, although the data remain limited, patients with cancer appear to be more vulnerable to worse outcomes from the infection, including greater need for ventilator support1 and elevated mortality rates2,3. Second, diagnosis may be delayed as screening programs and diagnostic services have been decreased or suspended in many countries, and patients, wary of exposing themselves to the risk of infection, have been more reluctant to present to healthcare services. Third, treatment pathways have been altered to minimize potential exposure of patients with cancer to SARS-CoV-2 and to reduce th...

I will happily buy Prasad a gallon of raw milk - but only if he will have it fortified with H5N1.

Unlike him, I actually have read the H5N1 milk studies, and can accurately predict he would not have a good time.

Here kitty, Vinay nay.

/1 It is obvious that Prasad is an idiot.
You see, H5N1 viruses love to bind to α2,3-linked sialic acid receptors which are AMPLY expressed (a fancy way of saying they are everywhere) in the human intestine.



/+ academic.oup.com/jid/article-ab…Image
Although this information came from an autopsy of an H5N1 victim, I am in no way wishing the same on him.

Just offering to grant unto him that which he wishes.

/+ Human gut amply express the right receptors.

It doesn't get much more macho or conservative than the Marines. Nice of them to demonstrate even cotton masks reduce disease transmission in November 2024.

They require masks in Phase 1, because they have new recruits gathered together.



/+ mcrdsd.marines.mil/Graduation/Gra…All personnel must wear a mask while indoors at the Branch Medical Clinic and the Branch Dental Clinic.  All Recruits must wear masks during Phase 1 of Recruit Training
Here's a video of them marching in September 2024.

/+

As you can tell from below, masking is important for ALL military personnel, NOT JUST RECRUITS, when COVID cases go to HIGH.

This makes sense - we want our military healthy and ready to defend us.

/+ On Aug. 11, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) COVID-19 Community Level for San Diego decreased to 'MEDIUM'. As of Aug. 11, all vaccinated personnel on Camp Pendleton are no longer required to wear a mask in indoor facilities.

"Dental cavities are an infectious, transmissible disease."

Whoa - that caught my eye. Diving in, a bacteria is involved:
Mutans Streptococci (MS).

MS & C albicans often team up - and that REALLY caught my eye.

C. albicans is airborne.


🧵 pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC66…S mutans eventually penetrates the enamel.
Before going on - the impact is HUGE. 👇

cdc.gov/nccdphp/priori…

And, #DYK that dental cavities is the most common CHRONIC DISEASE for kids? 👇 👇

medicine.iu.edu/blogs/pediatri…

Who has been ranting about chronic disease, @realLandsEnd @avierkant ?

open.spotify.com/episode/3J9hUb… Annual costs for dental care in the United States is $136 billion.4A  On average, over 34 million school hours are lost each year because of unplanned (emergency) dental care.5 Almost $46 billionB is lost in productivity in the United States each year because of untreated oral disease.6 In 2017, there were 2.1 million emergency room visits for dental emergencies. Medicaid pays for about 69% of these visits for children and about 40% for adults.7
The most common chronic disease is cavities.
Who has promised to get chronic disease reduced measurably within two years by the order of TFG?

RFK. He is going to do so by putting infectious disease research on hold for 8 hours.

And removing fluoride. RFK reporting Trump wanted him to end chronic disease within two years.
Why Kennedy Sees an 'Epidemic' of Chronic Disease Among Children  Trends in child health are in fact worrisome, and scientists welcome a renewed focus on foods and environmental toxins. But vaccines and fluoride are not the cause.
