Do you know who is most likely to experience a drug resistant infection?

Someone with immune dysfunction.

Why?
Think of it like a team effort.
When you start taking antibiotics, it's you AND the antibiotics fighting the infection.
But if your immune system is not pulling its weight in the fight, or if your body isn't distributing the antibiotics effectively throughout your body, or if your body's nutrient levels mean you're not producing the right building blocks for your immune system to work...
Then it's not both you and the antibiotics in the fight.

It's just the antibiotics.

And that makes it more likely for the infection to find a way to fight back.
Guess what.

There are a load of drug resistant infections on the rise right now.

Take a look at this graph and see which ones exploded in 2021, the year we decided to infect everyone endlessly with Covid.

In 2021 in England, public health decided that the way to get well was to get sicker, and that the way to get rid of disease was to catch it.
It's official policy.
They write it down and everything.

Since then... Multiple infections showing huge spikes since 2021  And they're not all coming down.
All of those graphs are on the same timescale.

For some of them, the data only starts in 2021 - before then, they were rare, but are now becoming more and more commonplace.
I think there are two main causes of those spikes.

The first is that people here have been told they should do nothing to stop spreading and catching disease other than vaccination and handwashing.

Aargh.
So here we are again with a government white paper about bullying <checks notes> sorry, encouraging people who are long term sick into work.

Let's break some of this malicious incompetence down into bite sized chunks so we can understand it...

What's the heart of the problem?

The heart of the problem is here: its employment rate fall over the last five years, which has been largely driven by a significant rise in the number of people out of work due to long-term ill health
But that word garbage sentence is mostly there to confuse.

A few of the people who were involved in administering the government response to the pandemic really didn't like having to do it.
And they especially didn't like how so many officials would say one thing privately and one thing publicly.

So they kept notes.
I've been sent quite a few of those notes in the last year, and the sad truth is that I just don't have time and energy to work through them all, but having seen those six videos from the UK Covid Inquiry, I feel the need to dig out one transcript that I've had for a while.
It's from a meeting between a load of representatives of healthcare professionals, and policymakers working for various government departments who were making choices about the pandemic response.

Now, look at this one closely. It's Covid admissions in Scotland over the last nearly five years. It's displayed by age bands.

Look at the youngest age group, 0-18s.

Then look at the graph in the next post... Image
The proportion of all admissions for Covid that are people under the age of 18. Image
Does it not alarm you how many children are still being admitted to hospital for Covid?

A quick thread about the 'horrible illness' that a load of people have described having in late 2019/early 2020...
I don't like to assume that it was Covid or that it wasn't Covid.

But I've seen a lot of people say that they think the virus they had that winter *was* Covid.
There's arguments for and against.

What the f*k.

"Scientists want to know whether the virus could cause heart defects"??

Scientists *KNOW* the virus can cause heart defects at birth 🤬🤬 Covid-19 virus could increase the risk of children being born with heart defects Huge study of 18 million births found the proportion of babies born with a congenital heart abnormality increased by 16% after the first year of the Covid pandemic
"Covid-19 virus could increase the risk of children being born with heart defects
Huge study of 18 million births found the proportion of babies born with a congenital heart abnormality increased by 16% after the first year of the Covid pandemic"
We know this fricking stuff already.
