It's dancing at the edge of my ability to express it, but I have an intuitive sort of feeling that the current destruction of public health in America isn't a turnaround from the policies under Biden, but a natural next step of the progression. I've been banging on for five years about the foolishness of ignoring the science of what Covid and other infections do to you.

You may have heard about 'ocean acidification' and filed it under 'things that scientists warn about and that sound a bit scary but that I don't understand'.

So let's sort that out... We've pumped a huge massive load of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels and forests and stuff in general, but mostly fossil fuels.

You may or may not have seen a couple of the recent news stories about a potential remedy for *some* back pain triggered by infection.

Most of the articles have been absolutely awful at explaining what is going on, so let me have a quick go. Image First off, the bacteria they reckon are responsible for some of the infections and some of the back pain are really common.
Cutibacterium acnes.
They're all over your skin. In your hair. Up your nose. In your mouth.

There's a big danger here.

You might look at Trump's cabinet and the surrounding entourage and think that they're laughable and incompetent grifters, alcoholics, misogynists, racists, rejects, losers, and failures, and that because of that, they can't cause much harm. Let me describe to you another group of incompetent grifters, alcoholics, misogynists, racists, rejects, losers, and failures.

So.
Do you think the pandemic is over yet? Image Let's also look at a couple of other little details on this data...

I'm indebted to @GrayD001 and @karamballes for pointing out something astonishingly profound in this image.
I think this is *phenomenally important*...
I think this may be one of the most important threads I've ever written. Image So I had kind of noticed it from the other way round... but then they both said something that flipped the whole thing on its head.

Can you spot the odd-one-out detail.
Look carefully.
It's quite important.

And really tragic. Graphs of absence by year for special, secondary, and primary schools.  The graphs are generally flat and lower before 2020, then higher and not dropping much afterwards. Seen it?

There is something hilariously tragic about this headline.

The research says that 5% *ACTUALLY DO* suffer from Long Covid.

And that a further 10% THINK THEY DO.

🚨So in the headline they've only referenced the ones who *think they do*.

💥BUT... One in ten people in UK may suffer from long Covid A study highlights the continuing impact of the pandemic and raises concerns about undiagnosed cases That still doesn't include the people who have no idea that their newfound ill health is caused by their covid infections.

You can bet your bottom dollar that hegseth and co are currently figuring out how to make 'faithful' army units, and how to ensure cooperation from the rest. There's no doubt the process has already started.

A week or so ago, I posted here to say that Trump's play for Canada would be more Anschluss than Blitzkrieg.

That upset Canadians who don't know much about the Anschluss. I didn't have much time then, but I do now, so here's a little primer for you.

There's a kid here.
He's just starting pre-school.

He has developmental issues, neurological problems, he still wears nappies (diapers), he has speech issues, and coordination problems.

His mum was a primary teacher. She doesn't let him use screens at all. They spend lots of time playing and talking. He has a great diet. She's an excellent mother.

She caught covid when she was 2 months and 8 months pregnant.

He caught Covid before he was 4 weeks old, and again before his 1st birthday.

It wasn't the lockdowns.

It was the infections. If you don't know what Covid infections can do to the body because you don't want to know what Covid infections can do to the body, then that is the textbook definition of denial, and it's an unhealthy place to live.

I think it's time for every Trump supporter who claims to be a Christian to see who he is allied to.
Trump is allied to Putin, which makes him allied to:
North Korea.

Please share this thread about their hypocrisy with any Trump supporter who says they're a Christian. ❤️🙏 North Korea is number one in the world on the Open Doors World Watchlist for persecution of Christians. Image

Both were quite young...

Actual conversation with an actual doctor:
Me: When did your fatigue start?
Her: After the third Covid wave.
Me: Were you ill during that wave?
Her: Yes, but I'd had Covid already and I was hardly sick. Me: You do know that it doesn't have to be a severe infection to cause Long Covid? Right?

I read an article today that astonished me.
It said that doctors here are all just tired, and that's what's wrong with them.

I have fumed about it under my breath all the way through a bad day full of bad news about sick people.

And I got home and thought: "Am I crazy to be thinking this is all caused by Covid? Maybe the man in the paper is right. Maybe doctors are just tired."

Right you lovely people.
It's time to talk about the Third Bump again.

Strap in, this isn't good news. Just to give you a quick recap:

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.

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.)
