This preprint not only adds to the evidence pointing to persistent infection but hints that cryptic viral reservoirs in the deep lung may be involved in LC. Much remains mysterious, but I think this is a possibility worth pursuing. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 33/end
I don't pretend to know the answers. But there's a large body of evidence suggesting chronic infection can be a cause—see reviews by Amy Proal w/ @petterbrodin.bsky.social @johanvawe.bsky.social, @ejohnwherry.bsky.social @michaelpelusomd.bsky.social 32/ www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

The last 3 years have been the hottest in around 125,000 years. CO2 levels are their highest in MILLIONS of years. But most people have no idea this is happening, let alone what it means for our kids’ futures. Our politics & media have failed our children. We should be furious.

The red MAGA hat is the mark of the beast as far as I'm concerned
Unfortunately the privileged are currently busy protecting fascists and crying about shit that doesn't matter. They will continue to do so until suddenly they themselves are affected, by then, no one that could help will be here any more because we all got murdered
I figure that even the Devil himself doesn't want to deal with this cabal.
They better be building a new ring in hell to house these monsters when they croak.

3. This is precisely how Long Covid hides in plain sight. Societally camouflaged by the imperative not to test. This is precisely why so many people have Long Covid but so few realise they do. /end

We endorse Mamdani, vote for that guy and any other politicians running his platform or similar US wide. Why? It's a step closer to the radical change needed in the United States to create an effective opposition against radical regressiveness.

I've seen markdowns on American fruit that seemed almost incredible to me for weeks on end at various grocery stores. Some people were obviously buying it, but in the past those shelves would have been bare.
Let the American produce for on the shelves. The grocery stores will stop buying it and source elsewhere.
As far as I know only Alberta and Saskatchewan are currently selling made in the USA liquors, beers and wines. The other provinces aren't buying any. Several "American" beers/brands are licensed for production in Canada, such as Coors light. Those are still being sold.
We should use it wisely. Buy Canadian whenever possible. Choose products that are available from other international trading partners. Make it so selling American products is not the best for the seller's profit margin. Collectively Canadians can change corporate buying policy.
We are the biggest consumer of US goods, our economies are integrated through a "free" trade agreement. Products covered through this agreement are not subject to US tariffs ATM. Capitalism means that companies will sell whatever generates them profit. We have the freedom of choice.
If there's still demand... Stores will still sell products that generate profits. Also, 🇨🇦 is not self sufficient. We should work towards greater autonomy in our agricultural sector, but we are likely never going to produce orange juice. We could source that from Brazil, but it's more $$$ to do that.
If we don't buy it the grocery chains won't source it and then our government doesn't have to take the blame for imposing reciprocal or counter-tarriffs, but the end result is that we don't support the US economy that Trump is using to try to harm 🇨🇦 sovereignty.
Same. 🤞🤞🤞🇨🇦
1. 'Overall, our findings raise compelling questions about the potential role of SARS-CoV-2 infection in accelerating or triggering neurodegenerative diseases linked to protein amyloidosis'. An example of such a disease is Parkinson's Disease (PD). pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Let's hope. When providers get sued, their malpractice insurance rates rise, which can drive them out of business. (We've seen this in the US for years with OB-GYNs.) Some pediatricians already don't offer covid shots; let's hope this new ploy by RFK doesn't make that situation worse.
The obvious next step in this war: The Am. Academy of Pediatrics suggested that patients & providers should listen to them about vaccines rather than to RFK & the CDC. So now, RFK is threatening doctors that they might get sued if they provide covid shots. 1/4 www.medpagetoday.com/pediatrics/v...

The power for the police to erase their own history is huge, given how carefully evidence is supposed to be handled in any investigation of citizens. But in Alberta, we also learned the police are involved in elections. 3/

We also need the dis/misinformation education that is commonplace in the Baltic states. Information warfare and propaganda are difficult to address when we've been dominated by not just the American economy but by also by American culture in (especially English) Canada.

I know. I don't know wtf to do about it, but I know it's going to get very bad before November next year. I have no idea what our military strategy is, I hope we are working to strengthen the NATO security guarantees. What about NORAD? We are so intertwined with them.

For many reasons. Including our proximity. 😬🇨🇦😭
Okay. Now let's get them to buy enough for everyone, and pay for public health care.

I thought I was the only person noticing this. People look much older almost overnight.
Very obvious now that SARS-CoV-2 infection can be characterised as: AAA A: Acceleration (e.g. dementia, vascular) A: reActivation (e.g. EBV, LTBI) A: Aging (inflammation, telomere shortening) Longevity and / or healthspan cannot be fully addressed without understanding this.
