everybody shifted hard to the right when biden announced the end of the pandemic as ppl were still getting sick and dying. ppl continue getting sick, becoming chronically ill and disabled and dying & ppl care less than ever abt it. that's how you slide to the right w/o knowing

@gaymerherb
Yup, and it's "thoughts and prayers" for all these celebs and such dropping every other week while they continue to not shift in any measurable way and then wanna claim "leftist" or "socialist" even though they sound closer to right wingers during lockdown than ever

To understand the rise of tech fascism, you HAVE to get into the dirt of the venture capital firms

This is the backbone of tech fascism -- if you read it all, you will know more about what is happening than listening to 1000 podcasts about it. Took a lot of work

They un-fired *some* of the CDC scientists they sacked, dealing with Ebola and measles oubreak, whoop-dee-doo

@atrupar
BRENNAN: CBS confirmed that the Trump administration rescinded some of the layoffs of hundreds of CDC scientists who were mistakenly laid off on Friday. Some were involved with the federal measles response or the response on Ebola. How does a mistake like this happen?

JD VANCE: The govt shutdown inevitably leads to some chaos. It happened because Schumer shut down the government

BRENNAN: But this was a White House decision to lay off these individuals

it's cute if it only happens once, but if you also ask a few times "how do you say this in English again?" too you'll look like a proper twerp that's begging people to ask about his wonderful trip to Japan

this is why I mention H5N1 specifically, Trump1 allowed feeding chicken litter to cattle, and Biden allowed the practice to continue!

We must put an end to unsanitary farming practices that prioritizes profits over public health, including feeding poultry litter to cattle. Feeding animal waste to livestock is irresponsible and cruel. A healthy food system cannot contain these types of practices that pose a danger to human and animal health - US democrat senator cory booker(New Jersey)

Are you stocked up on N95 respirators though? RFK Jr is making sure something you all are not protected against will get you by gutting the CDC. Uncontrolled spread of infectious disease the likes of which you can't imagine, and no authorities to tell you to wear a well fitting N95 respirator

Fauci said older people, the ill and disabled will fall by the wayside, and government health authorities in the UK thought it wasn't happening fast enough, they're restricting vaccine access for vulnerable people

@BuDs_UK: The NHS is now emailing everyone who has booked a Covid booster appointment to warn them that they may not be eligible for the vaccine. There are supposedly 10 times more booked appointments than people eligible for the booster.
Our members all over England are reporting that it is becoming increasingly difficult to find a pharmacy with availability to give a private Covid booster. People have had to travel for up to 2 hours in places to get them. And the NHS and Government does nothing...
We urge everyone unhappy at this Covid booster fiasco to contact their MP and make their feelings known.

I mean she said CIRS in July, and I thought SARS because it is circulating all year long www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Background
Multiple studies have shown that Long COVID (LC) disease is associated with heightened immune activation, as evidenced by elevated levels of inflammatory mediators. However, there is no comprehensive meta-analysis focusing on activation of the immune inflammatory response system (IRS) and the compensatory immunoregulatory system (CIRS) along with other immune phenotypes in LC patients.

Results
The current meta-analysis encompassed 103 studies that examined multiple immune profiles, C-reactive protein, and 58 cytokines/chemokines/growth factors in 5502 LC patients versus 5962 normal controls (NC). LC patients showed significant increases in IRS/CIRS ratio (standardized mean difference (SMD: 0.156, confidence interval (CI): 0.062;0.250), IRS (SMD: 0.338, CI: 0.236;0.440), M1 macrophage (SMD: 0.371, CI: 0.263;0.480), T helper (Th)1 (SMD: 0.316, CI: 0.185;0.446), Th17 (SMD: 0.439, CI: 0.302;0.577) and immune-associated neurotoxicity (SMD: 0.384, CI: 0.271;0.497). In addition, CRP and 21 different cytokines displayed significantly elevated levels in LC patients compared to NC.
Conclusion
LC disease is characterized by IRS activation and increased immune-associated neurotoxicity.

Hi @theguardian.com @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social

Reform’s party conference was front page news for you both. The Green Party (holders of 800 council seats) is going on right now and there is nothing

Why are you doing this? Who is telling you to platform the Fascists?

thanks, what we lack in covid vaccines we make up for in cases of measles and tuberculosis /s. Thank god for respirators. On the plus side, illness pushed me into fixing my B vitamins; my skin is now the best it's been in decades, no moisturizer can fix a folate and/or B12 deficiency
