Hard to know who to believe on Anthropogenic climate change. Literally 99% of all climate scientists or the failed commodities trader of Farage plc?

Meanwhile in Clacton-on-sea.

New painting. "Climate Change - Yesterday's news" #Scicomm #Climate #GNSI #SciArt

really tired of conversations about how we need to get people to spend more time offline that don't acknowledge that one of the reasons people ARE online is their access needs aren't being met in physical spaces. This is especially true for queer people and disabled people.

Well spotted, it does look like it doesn’t it.

We are being failed. We are being told the infection is mild but hey the long term risks to all are not mild!

Are we being told:

Catching Covid carries long term health risks to everyone lasting a long time?

No we are not!

Why not?

Are we being told it’s predominantly an airborne virus?

No we are not.

Are we being told it’s vascular?

No we are not.

Thank you!

Many infections appear mild or asymptomatic (no symptoms) this doesn’t equate to not carrying health risks.

8. Finally we are still being fobbed off with handwashing only guidance, which as you can see from this evidence is nonsense. Covid is airborne.

Let’s talk again about how the press are really gaslighting on COVID.

1. Asymptomatic doesn’t necessarily mean harmless- 49% get these infections.
2. Any COVID infection, however seemingly mild carries health risks.
3. Much of the media continues to just talk about the symptoms of the infection,

Wilkinson 23 September 2025 in Regular Covid vaccinations are needed to reduce cardiac risks associated with the virus, experts at the European Cardiology Society have concluded. Cardiovascular complications are common after Covid, a consensus statement has noted, including inflammatory heart conditions in the acute phase of the illness as well as increased risk of heart attack,

5. Are we being told everyone needs a vaccine to help protect against these vascular risks? Absolutely not!
