There are no “rogue” AI agents

"Disability activists warned for years that this would be the outcome of allowing COVID-19 to spread unmitigated. Now that it’s time to pay the piper, the state and its media allies are working desperately to sever the connection between COVID-19 and its consequences."

Reducing or eliminating clinical trials is actually a huge goal of the billionaire elite, who believe the public should be granted access to medication and act as one big clinical trial and then drugs can be recalled or changed as needed. Because they want to have easier access to “longevity” drugs

Study: confirmed skeletal muscle abnormalities in Long COVID and ME Study: found evidence that fibromyalgia is a central nervous system disorder Study: Black people in the U.S. are less likely to be diagnosed with Long COVID compared to white people thesicktimes.org/2026/08/04/r...
ID: Muscle fibers appear underneath a microscope in a striped pattern. The fibers appear red with white spaces. Inside the fiber are purple dots. The text reads, “The Sick Times. Long COVID research updates. A new study confirmed skeletal muscle abnormalities in Long COVID and ME. A large genetic study found evidence that fibromyalgia is a central nervous system disorder. Black people in the U.S. are less likely to be diagnosed with Long COVID compared to white people, according to a new study.” A new study in Nature Communications confirmed skeletal muscle abnormalities in Long COVID and ME. The study, which furthered past research on post-exertional malaise from the same research group, compared various exercise tests and biopsies of people with Long COVID and ME to results from people who underwent 60 days of strict bedrest, as well as results from controls. “There are indications of abnormalities in muscle fibers, energy production, and oxygen supply,” lead researcher Rob Wüst said in a press release. People with Long COVID and ME  “should not be treated as if they have merely lost their fitness. Future studies and diagnostics must take this into account.”
A large genetic study in Nature Medicine found evidence that fibromyalgia is a central nervous system disorder. Researchers analyzed genetic data from 2.56 million people, comparing around 54,000 people with fibromyalgia to controls. They found 26 loci for the disease, or specific locations on a chromosome where variations on DNA are linked to the increased chance of disease development. Though fibromyalgia has a higher prevalence in women, the researchers did not find a sex difference in the genetic architecture. “These findings establish a firm biological basis for a long-debated condition,” the researchers concluded. The study’s biggest limiting factor was its primarily European cohort, which could limit how well the findings apply to people of other ethnicities.
Black people in the U.S. are less likely to be diagnosed with Long COVID compared to white people, according to a new study in Health Affairs. Researchers evaluated the electronic health records of 2.4 million Americans diagnosed with acute COVID-19 between 2022 and early 2023, using the ICD-10-CM code for Long COVID (U09.9) as the primary outcome. The researchers found less than 1% of each ethnicity group in the study had a Long COVID diagnosis, and stated that their findings were “likely an underestimate of the true magnitude of diagnostic bias.”

No fuck off we're not calling this "Millennial grey" this shit was dictated completely by boomer retiree house flippers we absolutely had NO say in this
Millennial grey

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A kitchen with beige grey floors, drab walls, brushed steel appliances, and grey granite countertops.
Grey floors and furnishings are said to appeal to Millennial tastes.
Millennial grey refers to a desaturated colour scheme that is said to appeal to the interior design sensibilities of the Millennial Generation in the early 21st century.[1] Cultural historian Kassia St. Clair attributed its widespread adoption to a desire among Millennials for "a flexible, sensible choice that will last years, hide any stains, and can be adapted to different schemes."[1] Some have diagnosed Millennial grey as a reaction to the warm hues of the late 20th century.[2]

Millennial grey is polarising, particularly when used with imitation-wood-texture sheet vinyl flooring, which many describe as depressing, soulless, or corporate.[3][4] Although attributed to Millennials, the grey colour scheme is often chosen by house flippers, vacation rental owners, or other people who do not actually live in the greyed properties.[3] Thus, the occupant of the property—Millennial or not—has little say in its colour scheme, particularly when deployed for fixtures such as flooring.[4] The greying may have been driven, in part, by a desire to prepare properties for sale in a manner thought to be least offensive to the average buyer.[5] Given the housing crises gripping many countries in the early to mid-21st century, buyers and renters may feel they have no choice but to accept a property decked in Millennial grey.[4]

To the extent that Millennial grey is said to be enjoyed by Millennials, it is also said to be loathed by Generation Z.[1][2]
