The US left the WHO.

They’ve invaded Venezuela without congressional approval.

They’re threatening Greenland, Denmark, Canada & Norway.

They’re threatening NATO.

They’ve created their own “Board of Peace” with some of the least peaceful folk imaginable

The America we knew is gone.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Let’s talk about COVID, brain damage & society.

Specifically, what happens when a neurotropic virus repeatedly infects the population, targeting the frontal lobe & almost nobody talks about the consequences?

This thread is for the skeptics.

A device called a goniophotometer is used to measure the light from every angle, and that gives us a picture of the three-dimensional power output- which can be shown on a polar plot.

Below that are two diagrams. One is of the testing setup. The other is a polar plot of the energy output of the device.

🚨very interesting 🧵 by @nukit.bsky.social (on Twitter) discussing the importance of measuring the output of Far-UVC not just at the nadir, but also total radiant power output...

Clear, concise, and informative

Long COVID Rates Higher in Women: Evidence Grows.

A JAMA study of 12,200+ participants infected by COVID between 2021 and 2024 found women were 31%–44% more likely than men to develop long COVID, even after adjusting for clinical and demographic factors.

To spell it out:
precovid - no health differences between the group that subsequently caught covid and those that did not.
after covid - health differences between the group that known to have caught covid and the group not.

imagine watching a small child struggle to breathe because of a measles infection and then going on your radio show to explain that the “human body was designed to fight measles” with the clear implication that if you die your body just wasn’t good enough.

Long COVID is Now the Number One Chronic Illness in Children Repeatedly mass infecting kids with COVID is not a public health strategy. It's a fast pass to declining population health

Long COVID is now the number one chronic illness afflicting children, surpassing asthma.
Yet we're refusing to use tools that could prevent recurrent infections in kids, like clean air or Far UVC, preferring to repeat propaganda about COVID's harmlessness
