Black background graphic with the whn.global logo at the top. Large bold text in white and bright pink reads: “A single COVID infection can increase risks for heart disease, blood clots, and cognitive and neurological problems months later.” At the bottom, smaller white text reads: “World Health Network - Science for a safer, healthier world.”

Even one COVID infection can have lasting impacts on the heart, brain, and blood vessels. Prevention is long-term health care.

The worst cabinet in American history And it's not even close.

A cabinet with one or two catastrophic picks like Noem, Hegseth, RFK, or Bondi would be among the worst in American history. All of them at the same time? Unlike anything we've ever seen.

My latest at Public Notice: www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-cabi...

21,000 dead Americans from 340K hospitalizations.
All completely avoidable. If you ever wanted evidence of the death of PH in America, this is "just the flu" flying under the media radar. #WearN95

The risk of kidney disease increases following SARS-CoV-2 infection compared to influenza - Communications Medicine Zhang et al. utilized a large real-world dataset from more than three million adults in the United States to compare the incident of kidney disease risks following COVID-19 and influenza infections. The study found that COVID-19 is associated with a higher risk of acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease, and end stage renal disease than influenza.

COVID-19 infection is associated with a 2.3-fold risk of developing acute kidney injury, a 1.4-fold risk of chronic kidney disease, and a 4.7-fold risk of end-stage renal disease compared to influenza, reports a study published in Communications Medicine. 🧪

Iran Conflict Sparks Global Rush For Critical Fertilizers A third of global fertilizer supply passes through the Strait of Hormuz, while gas from the region is crucial to production of nutrients for global agriculture.

If you, or one of your loved ones, are one of those people who likes to eat food, you need to read this story.

Because farmers from Poland to Australia to South Dakota are starting to freak out over the insane spike in fertilizer prices.

Heat map of CDC levels and PMC estimate of prevalence, 1 in 87 estimated actively infectious.

PMC COVlD Update, Week of Mar 9, 2026 (U.S.)

This week we will likely see the 100th consecutive day above 500,000 estimated new daily infections.

However, the 12th wave is winding down. CDC levels are Moderate in 18 states, High in 7, and Very High in 0.

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

Disrupted iron levels after SARS-CoV-2 infection may trigger long COVID Problems with iron levels in the blood and the body's ability to regulate this important nutrient as a result of SARS-CoV-2 infection could be a key trigger for long COVID, new research has discovered...

New research: early inflammation after COVID traps iron in the body, impairing oxygen delivery and energy production. Iron stayed disrupted longest in long COVID patients, even after mild infection. This may help explain the fatigue families know too well. #LongCOVID

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

And Covid is airborne, there is still no #CleanAir in our hospitals apart from in OT and staff are still not being given ffp3 respirators to protect themselves & patients.

What are we doing to protect newborns from nosocomial Covid infections?

'Our findings redefine SARS2 infection a condition of long-lasting immune compromise. ScienceDirect International Journal of Infectious Diseases Volume 163, February 2026, 108287 Persistent attenuation of lymphocyte subsets after mass SARS-CoV-2 infection Results During mass infection, T cells, CD4+T cells, CD8+T cells, NK cells, and B cells dropped significantly. Even 20 months post-infection, CD8+ T cells remained 9.9% below baseline. Baseline lymphocyte subsets differed significantly by sex and age. Immune recovery varied by age and sex, with older adults and males showing prolonged lymphopenia. In cardiovascular disease patients, T lymphocytes remained 72.9% below baseline for 20 months post-infection. Conclusion Our findings redefine SARS-CoV-2 infection as a condition of long-lasting immune compromise. The sustained subnormal

20 months post-infection, in CVD pts, T lymphocytes remained 72.9% below baseline.

Insane: persistent ~73% drop in immune fighting capacity, including vs cancer. 😢

It is disgusting that the government intentionally stopped measuring outcomes timed with removing protections. Democidal.

Oh, hey. Yesterday was the 1-year birthday of my piece The King In Black. It holds a lot of meaning and significance for me. A return to artistic and technical form, and a representation of living with Long Covid. Added bonus is a lot of you really like it too, which I sincerely appreciate.

Imagine having a disease that severely limits your quality of life but no one has heard of it, you can't work or get a benefit, and any help you get at the doctor involves hours of background research and advocating for yourself.

My coronaversarry is next Friday.

Six years straight of being sick & isolated

I’m lucky to be alive but I also don’t know if I’d call this living: erased from my own life, left to rot

Entombed in my room
