March for Palestine rally over Brisbane's Victoria Bridge is absolutely huge. Thank you to all Australians in Brisbane & around the country marching today against Israel’s genocide. Anyone not standing with Palestine at this point in time is clearly on the fringe. #FreePalestine

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.

Covid accelerates vascular aging
An 18-country, 38-center study of ~2,000 participants
—Effect predominantly in women, adding 5 years of aging
—Seen with non-hospitalized and mild-moderate Covid
—Reversible in some at 1-year; vaccination link to protection

I suffer with long covid and stopped talking about it because the look I could see glazing over people’s faces.
I still have a distorted sense of smell. If you’ve noticed me lose weight over 5 years, I’m not trying. I don’t like it. My brain feels like a faraday cage.

Brian Wilson had struggled with #LongCovid for his last few years.
"There was no trauma to speak of until that very last tour in ’22. He kind of went silent and began to suffer the effects of long-term COVID...that was a turning point for him. He became detached."

This is really interesting....and why initiatives like the Cheek Media, Purple Pingers, Punters Politics and even the #SundayShot are so important in our small market.
1. What you see here is clearest illustration why things are so messed up and why it cannot get any better until this asymmetry is addressed.
Put simply: the right-wing has narrative dominance.
