Can we all agree that it's weird and not good that there has been a 25% rise in hospital episodes of acute myocardial infarction (heart attacks) in young working age adults?

And can we all look at that graph and maybe just consider for a moment that it might be due to damage caused by covid infections? And, no, of course we're not catching up on the pandemic backlog of heart attacks you flipping dingdong.

There's no treatment delay.
Or reporting delay.
These are recorded on the day they happen.
🤬

🚨If Covid infections could interfere with the way your body handles fats, you'd expect a massive jump in the number of episodes of hospital treatment for that problem.
🧵📈 What do you think the graph is going to look live?

I sat for a very strange conversation today with a couple who have been constant critics of my mitigations and mask wearing. They were vocal opponents of the first lockdowns, and then of the 'rule of six'.

It is so genuinely weird watching public health authorities that have *denied* that Covid is airborne for nearly six years start to say that covid is airborne. And explain proper mitigations, like masks, hepa, ventilation.

You would not believe how many times I have started writing this thread and deleted it:

🚨Do Covid infections make you vulnerable to other infections, and if so - how, and for how long, and is it getting worse. The reason I keep getting started and then delete it is that the subject is *huge*.

Just absolutely enormous.

This is another not nice thread, and it's about reproductive health, so if that's a trigger, please stop reading here.

Seriously.
This one gets really depressing.

🧵⚕️❤️‍🩹 This is another thread about 'completed hospital episodes' for various health conditions.

Covid is just too complicated for people, isn't it. They can’t wrap their heads around it. The fact that it’s airborne, that it spreads invisibly through the air like smoke.

A couple of weeks ago, I had a tricky meeting with a family in preparation for a funeral.
I knew in advance that one of the family is fiercely against mitigations like masks, so I was braced for trouble. When I got to the meeting, he wasn't there, so he missed my prepared speech.

Covid infections make every single part of your body vulnerable to new problems.

Whatever age you are.

But let's pick *one* part of your body, the skin.
You'd be surprised how much harm Covid is doing. I'm just going to throw a few charts up here of 'hospital episodes' for individual skin conditions that show the last 12 years of data.
(Hospital episodes are not *cases*, they are the number of times someone interacts with a hospital for treatment)

The ten stages of Covid era grief: Denial - pretending to yourself that we're still living in 2019, that endless repeat covid infections don't make you more sick, and that washing your hands makes you well

For the billionth time:

Most of the 'symptoms' of an infection (fever cough tiredness etc) are your body fighting the infection.

The later symptoms are the work of the actual pathogen… and they're the ones that your body is trying to prevent. Your body hates infections.
Rightly.

Infections left unchecked will, simply put, kill you.

An actual professor said this.

Allow me a moment to tear it into shreds.
🧵 It's hard to know exactly where to start because there are just *so many things wrong with it*, even in just that one tiny sentence... but let's go for it...

A lot of people have been really hard on the ukhsa, but I don't think it's always fair.
They're still a relatively new agency, so I think it's worth taking a moment to highlight some of the considerable achievements of their brief history.

Encouraged everyone to repeatedly and endlessly catch Covid, a virus that has killed upwards of 30 million people and caused lasting ill health for 400 million so far.

tern:<shares story about local person with rare infection>

Infectionists: "that's just anecdote"

tern:<digs up and publishes ukhsa data showing sharp rise in that infection>
... 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>

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
Bartonellosis 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.

Holy shit.

That's the category that Motor Neurone Disease falls into. 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*.

Come on.
Let's do guess the trend.

Where do you think it goes?
😢 I'll give you options.

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. 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.

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… 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.

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."

Sometimes things happen and I can't share them because I have no idea how to keep them anonymous, so this is all you'll get in terms of detail, but I've just started preparing for the funeral of a young man whose death I am certain was caused by his recent covid infection... But his death will not be certified unto a coroner's inquest has been conducted.
