Although it’s rare, viruses can do this, especially EBV. Its effects are similar to congenital chiari malformations. The difference is that covid has infected the masses so more are affected. The long term effects of many viruses have been grossly overlooked.

This photo of Oz, RFK, Makary, Prasad and bhattacharya is dark. The perfect merger of “respectable, evidence-based medicine” with rank equals and grifters, all for political power. Anyone who enabled these men in any way owns this moment too.

With 77,000 people on AISH, the UCP stands to take 15,400,000 a month with money that is supposed to be helping lift disabled Albertans a little more out of poverty. They’re taking $15 million a month away from some of Alberta’s most vulnerable. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

It’s really sad that even when you tell people who don’t mask that there’s mountains of evidence proving repeat Covid infections damage your immune & vascular systems and cause brain damage—bc you think they must not know!—they still won’t wear a mask because it gets in the way of their bootlicking.

Science’s 2024 Breakthrough of the Year is lenacapavir, an injectable drug that demonstrated remarkable success at preventing HIV infection with one shot every 6 months. The drug attaches to the lattice-like capsid proteins that shield the virus’s genetic material—a mechanism that could inspire other antivirals. Lenacapavir could help end the HIV/AIDS epidemic, but that will hinge on access for those who need it most.

💯Clean air delivery rate (CADR) is more important than HEPA rating! I have been buying portable air cleaners for the lab and home that are not HEPA-level but offer a high CADR per dollar spent and low noise. Marwa Zaatari's comparison chart from 2021 is a good way to think about this.

The last half of the 1990s was when the false image of ME/CFS as a “yuppie“ disease began to crumble, thanks to good work done by Leonard Jason and others like this west coast group. I had been ill for over 13 years before the CDC finally acknowledged that Black people like me could have ME/CFS.

The preliminary sequence from the H5N1 human case in British Columbia has been posted and it is not good news. The virus potentially has a quasispecies at HA residue 226 (H3 numbering). This is bad news because we know that mutations at residue 226 can increase binding to human receptors. 1/

This indicates that the changes found at residues 226 and 228 in the HA of the avian viruses that has transmitted to a human (BC teen) MAY have acquired the ability to recognize receptors in human trachea, which would enable human to human transmission.
Text from reputable researchers indicating the BC teen with H5N1 has acquired mutations which may make it capable of human to human transmission.
