More tomorrow.

I've had too much sadness tonight.
Why is it happening...

Same as this probably:
Just a few more.

But these are benign neoplasms, so that's ok, right?

Infectionists: "that's just anecdote"

Infectionists:"That's just one type of infection!"

tern:<digs up and publishes ukhsa data showing sharp rise in multiple similar infections>

Infectionists: "Those are just infections with small numbers!"

tern:<digs up and publishes nhs data on infections with huge numbers>
Infectionists: "That's just caused by immigration!"

tern: <digs up and publishes *aged based data* that shows that age groups without high immigration are subject to higher rises in rare infection rates>

Whatever you blame it on (and I mostly blame covid infections), can we agree something is going badly wrong?

Hospital episodes of treatment for assorted pathogenic infections, England, all ages, by year.
From the top left:
Assorted mycobacteria
Amoebiasis
Nervous system viruses
Leptospirosis
Brucellosis
Listeriosis
Shigellosis
Diptheria
BartonellosisImage
Not only is Veldhoen wrong about the lack of damage to the immune system, he's also ignorant of the actual damage it's causing. Image
From his ivory laboratory tower, he provides no explanation for what is going on in the real world.

Holy shit.

That's the category that Motor Neurone Disease falls into. Image
These are *hospital episodes*, so that's the number of times someone with this condition goes to a hospital for that reason.
So it's not *cases*.
But for comparison, here's Huntingdon Disease in that age group to compare it with. Image

You've probably asked yourself whether there really are more people with things like prostate cancer and prostate problems.
There's lots in the news, including kings and cartoonists and rock stars.
And some that aren't in the news, like maybe your friends and mine. Image
Well, yeah, here's some actual data rather than just headlines or anecdotes.
This data is the 'hospital episodes' data from English hospitals, for working age men. Image
It's published here, you can go and check it all and see if it's real, or whether I just made it up.

This is a massively serious piece of work in Molecular Aspects of Medicine.

A huge wake up call to the world.

🚨 How Covid Infections Might Fuel Lung Cancer

A quick summary thread... 🧡

sciencedirect.com/science/articl…Image
This piece of work should ring alarm bells everywhere.

I don't think there's anything new in it, but it's all there in one place for the first time, published in a prestigious journal.
And if you're thinking, "well, where are all these cancer cases they're warning about, eh?..."

Cancer cases *take time*.

mrs tern asked me today how I deal with people who say that masks don't work.

My answer was pretty boring:
You can say, "Well, yes 'basically masks work', but actually it's better to say:

"Facepieces designed to filter airborne particulates from inhaled air, when worn correctly, reduce the amount of airborne particulates inhaled, including covid viral particulates."
But that's obviously a bit confusing for people who want things simple.
