I'd delayed closing my XSCHwitter account because of the wisdom I've posted there. But - no more. So here is my pinned post from Twitter.

Tweet (replying to Kit Yates) dated 21/06/2021 reads:
Even if the only consequence of C-19 was Long Covid, any sensible government would be busting its gut to prevent transmission.
But people also get very ill & many die.
Devastating for individuals, families, society & the world economy:

Remote work, mask, vaccinate, & lift patents.

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

BREAKING: Equinor has admitted that the massive Rosebank oil and gas field in the UK would cause vast climate damage.

*Pretends to be shocked* 😲

The UK government must STOP Rosebank, and instead focus on creating jobs in North Sea renewables!

Nasser hospital is expecting over 400 more bodies of Palestinians abducted & killed by 🇮🇱 since 7/10. Where is the outrage? Where is the media coverage? Who were they? How did they die? Who are their families? What did they look like? Where is the humanity?

"Polanski slammed” reports the Daily Express. The person doing that “slamming” is, err, Daily Express journalist Carole Malone.

And the reason? Because I want us to follow a science led public health approach to regulate drug use.

Polanski slammed over bid to legalise drugs

No.

If you're calling me an "anti-vax" (check my profile!) then you have at the very least some literacy issues.

And your comments are very very close to being anti-semitic, because of your lack of coherence.

Blocking you now.

Repeat Covid infections increase your risk of Long Covid.

We are in a mass disabling event that too many people are choosing to ignore.

Every infection is a dice roll with disability, and many (children included) are being infected once a year or more.

Mask up, clean the air, get boosted!

Repeat COVID-19 Infections Could Double Your Risk of Long COVID

The latest study shows that getting repeat COVID-19 infections can come at a high health cost.

Getting COVID 5 times doesn’t make you “stronger.” The immune system isn’t a muscle—repeated infections can cause cumulative damage and raise long-term risks.

Protect your immune system by avoiding repeat infections: clean air, masks, vaccination.

This is a fantastic article I encourage everyone to read.

The damaging effects of COVID on our immune system are not up for debate.

It’s not hypothetical.

And it’s not limited to “only the vulnerable”.

This is why many of us mask. Respirators like an N95 do a great job preventing covid.

This weekend, three men in Evanston hugged their families goodbye to look for work at Home Depot but were attacked by ICE before they could return home.

Two were abducted, one is petrified of leaving the home.

The ‘Peace President’ killed six more people off the coast of Venezuela this morning. We have no evidence other than his word that they were a threat to anyone, anywhere and also release the Epstein files. Thank you for your attention in this matter!

I’m very very tired of “living in fear” being lobbed at maskwearers by people who frequently say they can’t wear one because no one else around them is.

Living in fear is ignoring science and endangering lives and your own health because you’re terrified of not fitting in.

Israel have been bombing Palestinians today as if there is no ceasefire, and they will continue to do so and everyone will ignore it.

Eventually Hamas will fire back and they will 'break' the Ceasefire.

Donald Trump's Peace is just continued Genocide.

According to a new study
by Yale researchers
Covid-19 continues
to be driving a large number
of work absences,
which is an important reminder
that it is not the case
that people are “quiet quitting,”
rather it’s the case
that this virus just won’t quit.

Covid was a wasted opportunity. During lockdown the climate of earth drastically improved, outdated work practices were uprooted & people had time for their own lives. It's a shame none of that continued.

I think it would have surprised even the most pessimistic if you'd told people during the 2024 campaign that a year into Government Starmer's team would be negatively briefing against the ECHR and Council of Europe for daring to question their assault on trans rights
