Two new independent reports, one Norway nationwide, and the other US-based, indicate increased risk of Type 1 (autoimmune) diabetes from Covid in children and teens eurekalert.org/news-releases/… EASD jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman… JAMA Network Open

COVID-19: Things everyone should know (Part 2: Transmission & Protection) In part 2, I will highlight important things about how COVID-19 is transmitted and what variant-proof measures can be taken to reduce the risk of becoming infected or reinfected. 🧵1/

This will be at a very high level without going into too much scientific jargon and references will be left for the end. If you missed part 1 on how the virus and immune system work including how long you are contagious for, you can find it here ( x.com/jeffgilchrist/… ). 2/

Studies have shown that when CO2 levels in a classroom increased from 600 ppm to 1800 ppm, the average score on cognitive performance tasks decreased by 23%. 47/

For example, when schools in Italy increased their ventilation it reduced the risk of infection by 80% compared to classrooms with only natural ventilation. 49/

Infection puts people at increased risk of heart attack, stroke, cardiovascular issues, blot clots, brain damage, neurological conditions, Alzheimer's, diabetes, auto-immune issues, reactivating dormant viruses and many more even months after infection. 54/

This happens in both adults and children, and even with mild infections. Much more information is in the references below. 55/

Many in the West are so eager to declare a false peace with a war criminal dictatorship, to be hailed as a voice of reason and diplomacy in the moment, that they fail to achieve real peace. It’s just kicking the can, appeasement poorly disguised as diplomacy.

Slightly brutal, but definitely rapid response to the UK non-budget.

nature.com/articles/d4158… So will there be a new wave of COVID-19 this winter?

Hominins have been walking upright on bare feet for 6 million years, yet it's still better to wear shoes. Humans have been living at high population densities with regular exposure to zoonotic respiratory viruses for less than 12,000 years. Not getting infected is better.

Clever!

I have no idea! They are such a useful tool and so good at identifying when we are infectious. It's almost as though we were originally told they were snake oil and then that the pandemic was over 🙄 Messaging is everything - and the first message is the one that sticks!

Not surprising given the promotion of handwashing that doesn't do anything for covid, and the lack of protections against the dominant airborne transmission. Like for example not wearing masks here

386 experts studying Covid in 112 countries came to a consensus on what needs to be done to END Covid. Can we please bend to their collective wisdom?? 100% - Covid is airborne; indoor drives transmission 97% - vax alone won't end Covid 96% - N95 masks ARE necessary 1/2

90% - public health has pushed false info (hand washing over masks; vax only) Vaccines work to prevent severity more than to prevent transmission. N95s prevent most transmission. Spread facts, not Covid. #BringBackMasks 2/2 nature.com/articles/s4158…

Tory killing machine: 335,000 died from 2012-19 austerity. 211,000 died from Covid. 117,000 died (2021) waiting for NHS England hospital appointment. 93,000 died from poverty (2019) 30,000 heart patients died - could not get treatment. Need public inquiry. leftfootforward.org/2022/11/prem-s…

Love it!
