Will do a longer 🧵sometime, but big societal problems most often arise from what l’ve previously called “narrative vacuums” (NVs).

NVs occur when dominant (sometimes elite) narratives cannot explain—or actively choose to ignore—large problems the ‘hoi polloi’ see quite clearly. For society to be stable, intellectual elites must generate dominant narratives that *sufficiently cohere with reality as mostly experienced by most people.*

As soon as dominant narratives don't sufficiently cohere, we get NVs, and people seek coherence elsewhere, eg. grifters.

Read this.

And then you’ll see in my next tweet how this was all completely predictable from mechanism and then increasingly confirmed by diagnostics. Predictable from mechanism (and early observations).

Ah yes…it’s definitely too many “open blinds” and definitely not the NEW PANDEMIC PATHOGEN THAT INFECTS BLOOD VESSELS. Image

Under-discussed is the extent to which global economic prosperity in the 20th and early 21st centuries was the direct result of pathogen elimination. “The impact of vaccination on the health of the world’s peoples is hard to exaggerate. With the exception of safe water, no other modality has had such a major effect on mortality reduction and population growth”

– Dr. Stanley A. Plotkin, MD, “Vaccines” (1988)

Important to separate fiction from fact in Palmer's article in @Quillette, which is unfortunately persuasive to many scientific illiterates because of its blend of fact and fiction.

In this, I will ignore irrelevant/red-herring issues, regardless of whether they are true/false. Image False. Image

This is major. Unless you have been paying attention since the get-go, you have no idea how many BS ‘endemicity’ and ‘attenuation’ narratives were crafted around falsehoods.

I don't have all day to generate this text, so here's some GPT4 stuff on why "training" your immune system is NOT like training muscles.

First, to understand the muscle analogy and why it's wrong, you have to understand what the users of it get wrong.

This involves "hormesis": Image As should be obvious, "training" your immune system is NOT like muscle or cardiovascular training. The mechanisms of adaptation (and thus WAYS of "training") are completely different.

So the analogy is dead on arrival (because it has insufficient analogic explanatory power). Image

Good lord… 🤦‍♂️

“immune system is exactly like a muscle”

Where to even begin…fully wrong, as usual. Ofc Michael is entirely unable to answer this question.

Gravity is over, folks. People are tired of it. I don’t care what @MarvinH2_G2 says. We’re tired. We’re over distortions in spacetime. I now feel lighter than ever and so do all my friends. This is my powerful face.

FINALLY published nearly 2 years later:

“Some viruses restructure host chromatin, influencing gene expression…Here we characterized the 3D genome and epigenome of human cells after SARS-CoV-2 infection, finding widespread host chromatin restructuring”

Long Lockdown:

A psychiatric syndrome characterized by the delusional belief that two weeks of Zoom meetings and grocery deliveries result in permanent immune dysfunction but that serial infection with a pandemic pathogen improves immune function.

Slowly but surely. Hygienic infrastructure en route:

“Bars in Belgium could be among the healthiest places to have a drink…a new law…requiring public venues to meet air-quality targets and display real-time…[CO2] concentrations—a proxy for…clean air”

nature.com/articles/d4158… “Consumers in Belgium will get even more information in 2025, when gyms, restaurants and indoor workspaces must all show air-quality ratings given through a certification system. In…a future pandemic, Belgium’s rating system could determine whether or not a venue is closed.”

Excellent study showing metformin’s reduction of Long Covid symptoms.

However, very significantly—OVER 10% of the control participants got Long Covid by day 300.

Covid vaccines trigger production of neutralizing antibodies (nAbs) that bind to places on Covid virions called "epitopes."

More circulating nAbs at time of Covid inhalation
🟰more nAb binding
🟰less human cell entry by Covid (via ACE2)
🟰less organ/tissue damage
🟰longer life. Feel free to bookmark and spam the above post anywhere you need to (eg to explain to anti-vaxxers how the vaccines work and why they are not causing excess deaths).
