She posted on Instagram how for four months she was in agonising pain, went repeatedly to hospitals in Newcastle and Durham, begged for blood tests and scans, was told it was all in her head. It was cancer. Dead at 25 six months later. I swear medicine attracts sociopaths

Her posts where she says not one doctor listened to her and authorised scans or blood tests despite her begging on the floor crying in pain and despite her autoimmune conditions that predisposed her to cancer. For months. Absolutely disgusting failure from @NewcastleHosps

Turns out that the son of (Lord) David Wolfson, shadow Attorney General for the Conservative Party, a senior British politician and a former minister in Boris Johnson's government is currently serving in the IDF and murdering Palestinians. This is Sam Wolfson His dad David Wolfson funds a 'pop-up' cafe for IDF troops operating in Gaza. Sam is killing Palestinians in Gaza alongside his girlfriend who is also serving in the IDF. This is from an article in the Jewish Chronicle

New investigation: Meta's head of AI policy in Washington DC is a former IDF officer who volunteered to join the Israeli army under a special program for non-Israeli recruits. Overall Meta employs more than one hundred former IDF soldiers and spies (continues) Shira Anderson is an American international rights lawyer who voluntarily enlisted for the IDF in 2009 under a program known as Garin Tzabar, which enables non-Israeli Jews who aren’t eligible for military conscription to join the Israeli army

Yes this is how most people remember it, left to right. Governments were also doing direct cash transfers to citizens, homeless people were found shelter, evictions were banned and debts were frozen. We should ask why the latter didn't become the cultural story

The biggest anti racism protests in decades erupted in the UK and the US. Because many people for the first time, had time. People were educating and organising. It wasn't a coincidence.

Turns out Boeing and the FAA are ignoring another fatal design flaw in the Boeing 737 MAX that, like the previous flaw that downed two of these planes and killed hundreds of people, most pilots are unaware of. Continues... The flaw relates to the system that kicks in when a bird is sucked into the engine of a plane. This happens regularly. Sometimes when this happens on the MAX, due to the flaw in the system, it pumps aerosolised, neurotoxic jet oil into the passenger cabin and cockpit

A few weeks ago top US medicine man Anthony Fauci was in hospital with West Nile virus, saying he'd never been sicker. So I looked into West Nile virus and woah, did I find out some things. Not good things 🧵 The first astonishing thing I found out is how quickly this virus, transmitted by mosquitoes, has become a serious health threat in many parts of the world, especially Europe and North America, where a little over twenty years ago >it didn’t even exist<

Study on 61 men MRI scanned pre and post *omicron* covid. "Decrease in gray matter thickness in the left precuneus and right lateral occipital regions of the brain. Ratio of the right hippocampus volume to total brain volume decreased." Omicron remains bad for brains. A list🧵 Source. The average age of the men in this study was 43. psypost.org/gray-matter-th…

The only age groups in the US registering excess death are ages 10-19 and ages 30-49. All those died young and suddenly anecdotes, while down from the heights of the pandemic, continue to tally with the data Baseline used is 16/17 - 18/19 to pick up health trends emerging right before the pandemic. Why these ages? Why a gap for ages 20-29? My guess is covid in school age children and parents of school age children + reflecting rise in young adult cancers + drugs overdoses

Americans, particularly on the left, should pay close attention to what's happening in the UK. Democrats are modelling the Kamala Harris campaign on Keir Starmer's victory and we're now seeing the consequences of the Labour Party in power🧵 This Politico article says that seven Labour MPs and strategists met with Kamala Harris's team at the DNC to discuss historically challenging issues like immigration and 'the challenge from the left on issues like Gaza'

Zionist trolls and other racists said this viral tweet is evidence Gaza wasn't an open air prison. Here are all the ways in which Gaza, despite the resilience and ingenuity of Palestinians which saw them build joyful lives, was an open air prison run on apartheid rules 🧵

With a population of 2 million in a space of just 141 square miles, Gaza was one of the most densely populated pieces of land on Earth, with a population density of over 500 people per 100 square meters. This is in fact more densely populated than many prisons

everyone getting covid in summer 2024 because covid is over and seasonal and getting it again builds your immunity so you won't get it again but you'll definitely get it again this winter and maybe next summer because it's seasonal and over but it'll be fine, honestly, it's fine We The Governments Of The Capitalist World are at pains to reassure everyone that getting covid repeatedly forever is honestly going to be fine with ZERO long term consequences, ZERO, please remember this

People often keep their ill-health a secret because in capitalist societies with supremacist foundations ill health is considered a personal failing and a sign of weakness. Becoming 'unproductive' is treated like a crime unto the system This mindset is embedded into institutions, from governmental to medical and is why people with chronic illness are so often dismissed by doctors and told to get back to work by the state. To support you in your ill health would be considered rewarding of weakness

In late May Argentina's far-right leader Javier Milei toured Silicon Valley, meeting the billionaire tech elite. Earlier in May he'd hosted Peter Thiel, boss of spy tech company Palantir, a key US, NATO and Israel contractor, at Argentina's presidential mansion. What's going on? The short answer is that Milei is attempting to destroy the foundations of the regulated welfare state in Argentina. And this is good for the tech elite who crave blank, country-sized canvases onto which they can project their dreams of a trans-human future

One fact almost universally misunderstood about the covid pandemic is that after 2020, excess mortality was higher for adults under 55 than over 55. That trend persists to this day These tables are by the US Society of Actuaries. In the first 6 months of 2023 excess mortality actually came in negative (anything under 100% is lower than expected) for most age groups over 55 and was highest in 35-44 year olds

Scientists have found what they call 'the master regulator' of the immune system in the human brain. If it holds up it's a stunning discovery that could transform treatments for autoimmune disease and post-viral illnesses. What did they find, and how?🧵 They found that neurons in a part of the brain known as the caudal Nucleus of the Solitary Tract (cNST) fire, or misfire, to produce a balanced or dysregulated immune and inflammatory response. They found, in their own words, “a new brain circuit.”

This is big. Scientists have identified the cells in the brainstem that sense immune cues from the body and act as "master regulators" of the body’s inflammatory response. "The discovery is akin to a black-swan event. It's a whole layer of biology we haven’t even anticipated” "Finding ways to control this newly discovered body–brain network would offer an approach to fixing broken immune responses in various conditions such as autoimmune diseases and even long COVID, Jin says." h/t @oldfshndanne nature.com/articles/d4158…

Chimps in Uganda have started eating bat faeces after their regular food source, the rafia palm, was wiped out by tobacco farming. When scientists tested the bat guano they detected 27 novel viruses, including a previously unknown coronavirus science.org/content/articl… Despite what you might have heard, global demand for tobacco is rising, not falling, leading to more area being cleared for tobacco farming. By 2030 tobacco sales will top a record $1trn prnewswire.com/news-releases/…

Apparently dairy farms in Texas have been refusing access to avian flu H5N1 researchers because it 'might damage their business.' Capitalism can't stop pandemics. Oh, and the researchers think that it's probably airborne Also seems researchers have been doing good vibes only strategy on H5N1, spit-balling the idea that cows are probably 'sort of immune' to H5N1 disease and transmission

Dystopian pandemic movie script: A new virus emerges, the ruling dynasty disappears it with propaganda, infections continue, a collective amnesia takes hold, sufferers are forced to illegally source antivirals, others crowdfund their own deaths as the disease debilitates them It would be a really harrowing watch. Even doctors and experts would push propaganda about the virus, many would deny that it can even cause a disease. Sufferers would visit doctors and be told they have anxiety

'Health reasons.' He LITERALLY SAID it was long covid. This PBS article doesn't mention it at all If he said it was because of HIV or malaria do you think they would have omitted it? Going to be interesting to see how other mass media report it

Unlike flu, covid is not seasonal. Unlike measles, it is not one-and-done vaccine preventable. Unlike cold-causing rhinoviruses, it is not mild. Covid challenged governments to create new protocols for a virus that couldn't be plugged into existing frameworks. They utterly failed For this reason, Sarscov2 is a bellwether virus, revealing the rotten underbelly of stagnating institutions unable to adapt to the rapidly changing circumstances thrown up by global industrial civilization. It bodes ill for our future
