“I’m sorry you have debilitating organ damage you got from Covid but you have to understand, if I wore a mask in the grocery store strangers might think I’m weird.”

@drseanmullen @masknerd rated them pretty highly in filtration efficacy and low pressure drop. Work well for normal life. And fit really well, for me and my fam at least. We do draegers for planes, hospitals etc

@EmJayNabuurs @drseanmullen These are the ones we get too. I get different colors for different family so we don’t accidentally mix up whose is whose. They only have a few colors though. They have a us website too

@TheTNHoller Wonder if they handled it this way to sow doubt if someone else went mia for a period of time after a "minor medical event". Anyone suggesting that person was dead would be mocked as having said the same thing about Mitch McConnell...

@krystalball The threat is already present. And none of the industry or politicians are addressing it. Instead of regulating Data Centers, they're regulating a hypothetical, speculative, future SUPER AI what are we even doing here at this point?

What's infuriating is that the very people using Ai to cause literally every harm -- from Lavendar and Gospel in Gaza to Claude and Grok being used for the war in Iran are asking us to be so afraid of a hypothetical superintelligence Ai that we give this present regime even more control in addition to regulatory capture. Notice they aren't trying to regulate the present harms of Ai. Just future hypotheticals

these assholes have one speed and that’s to blast my almost decade old take on 9/11 meanwhile they AGREE w all this heinous racist shit so they can easily handwave it away. perhaps the media should focus on actual electeds, campaign staff and the president rather than indie media

I'm not sure if AI is an existential threat to our species, but I am 100% certain that the techno-fascist broligarchs currently controlling our AI platforms are an existential threat to our species, and we should treat them as such and act accordingly.

We need a lemon law for politicians like John Fetterman who get elected and then do the complete opposite of what they campaigned on.

Here’s a simple new law Congress could pass right now: If your company publicly declares that its products could literally end all human life, your company doesn’t get to proceed with an IPO.

@1goodtern Indeed! 🟧#LitCovid is the “most comprehensive resource on the subject, providing central access to 492,646 (& growing ) relevant articles in PubMed.” Updated daily #MedEd #MedTwitter #VetMed #NurseTwitter #BackToSchool #schools #parents #learning #GP ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/research/coron…

Today I sat down with a climate scientist and a civil engineer. One is building models to predict how extreme heat will affect hospitalizations. The other has a literal pirate ship that can produce hundreds of thousands of gallons of drinking water. A PIRATE SHIP. Anyway, I need to seriously reconsider what I’m doing with my life. What an absurdly cool world we live in when people decide to work on hard problems.

What if the virus you had in 3rd grade is still inside you, waiting? COVID doesn't just infect you. It wakes up things that have been sleeping for decades. A new Nature study just mapped exactly which ones.

Articles and studies detailing the long lasting after effects of covid infections have been published in: Nature Medicine, The Lancet, The Lancet Infectious Diseases, The Lancet Respiratory Medicine, The Lancet Psychiatry, The Lancet Neurology, The Lancet Child & Adolescent Health, The Lancet Healthy Longevity, The New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, JAMA Internal Medicine, JAMA Neurology, JAMA Psychiatry, JAMA Pediatrics, JAMA Cardiology, JAMA Network Open, BMJ, BMJ Medicine, Annals of Internal Medicine, PLOS Medicine, eClinicalMedicine, eBioMedicine, Science, Science Translational Medicine, Science Advances, Cell, Cell Host & Microbe, Immunity, Nature, Nature Communications, Nature Neuroscience, Nature Cardiovascular Research, Nature Immunology, Nature Aging, Nature Mental Health, Nature Microbiology, European Heart Journal, Circulation, Circulation Research, Journal of the American College of Cardiology, European Respiratory Journal, American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, Thorax, Brain, Neurology, Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, Alzheimer's & Dementia, Kidney International, Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, Clinical Infectious Diseases, Journal of Infectious Diseases, Emerging Infectious Diseases, Clinical Microbiology and Infection, Diabetes Care, Gut, Gastroenterology, Blood, Arthritis & Rheumatology, Rheumatology, Pediatrics, Pediatric Research, Obstetrics & Gynecology, British Journal of Sports Medicine, Journal of Clinical Investigation, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, and Scientific Reports. This is not quackery. It's not low quality. It's not junk science. It's not debated. It's detailed, exhaustive, thoroughly researched science: Covid infections increase your risk of a vast range of health problems. Vaccinations do not prevent that increase in risk. Having had Covid before does not prevent that increase in risk. The only thing that prevents the increase in risk is to *not catch Covid*. There's a wave now, so mask up.

What are the three most important things that journalists need to know about Covid infections? I would say: Each covid infection you get increases your risk of serious health issues. Covid transmits primarily through the air. Covid is not over. And n95+/ffp2+ masks work to reduce risk of transmission.

I missed this when it came out. Review of organ damage from covid and long covid pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11…

Covid is a vascular disease – it affects your blood vessels. So it can affect any organ of the body with a blood supply. Which is ... pretty much every organ in the human body. Including the brain and the heart. So is this data surprising? Heartbreaking, yes – surprising, no

"Norwegian data: 98% more doctor visits for memory problems and 150% more for concentration problems than the trend before the pandemic. At the same time, an enormous increase in prescribed heart medications. Even in Sweden. Precisely the things we know COVID infections cause.
