Utrolig provoserende at FHI igjen bare stikker fingrene i øra og sier la-la-la-la. "Vi vet ikke hva dette kommer av, men det er hvertfall helt sikkert ikke pandemien, som sammenfaller eksakt i tid."

– Nyere forskning viser at barn blir like påvirket av long covid som voksne. Dette er underrapportert, sier David Putrino.

13.06.2025 10:57 — 👍 10 🔁 1 💬 0 📌 0Three to six months after COVID waves, we see an increase in GP consultations for memory issues. This gives cause for concern that Long Covid plays a significant role. This raises questions about whether the current COVID strategy is sustainable (hint: it isn’t) www.nrk.no/buskerud/eks...
13.06.2025 10:28 — 👍 14 🔁 5 💬 1 📌 0Tre til seks måneder etter covid-bølger ser vi en økning i fastlegekonsultasjoner for hukommelsesforstyrrelser. Det gir grunn til bekymring for at senfølger av covid-19 spiller en vesentlig rolle. Det bør reise spørsmål om hvorvidt dagens koronastrategi er bærekraftig. www.nrk.no/buskerud/eks...

Fascinerende at FHI advarer mot fagfellevurderte oversiktsartikler i Nature, og heller anbefaler bruk av egne, ikke-eksternt fagfellevurderte rapporter.

Min kritikk av rehabiliteringsstudien til Nerli, Selvakumar, Wyller med flere er nå publisert på forskersonen. Det dekker misvisende fremstilling, svake metoder og hemmelighold av data. www.forskersonen.no/covid19-kron...

10.05.2025 08:19 — 👍 11 🔁 2 💬 1 📌 1Masking does "move the needle" because every single break in the chain of transmission matters. The Covid and flu vaccines do not make it harmless to get infected with those viruses, not even remotely. That's why masking is key! You need to take steps to meaningfully prevent infection

Few things have broken my faith in humanity than almost everyone giving up on clean air / masking / mitigations. The science is unambiguously clear. And yet. We could have had clean indoor air.

This article provides a great overview for GPs, medical professionals and anyone looking to reduce their risk of contracting COVID.

[1/3] Not surprising to many, but a big deal in terms of further science on airborne transmission of COVID. It's basically a repeat of the famous Wells Riley experiments of the 1960's. Why this is a big deal?

Prof. Ola D. Saugstad svarer Harald Eia:
«Eias innlegg er etter min mening preget av en sjelden grad av manglende kunnskap og innsikt. Slik sett er det nyttig å se hva som vil kunne skje hvis Eia skulle bli valgt inn som viserektor for formidling.»

- The Norwegian Institute of Public Health’s positive press release seems to be based primarily upon a shift in the baseline, rather than a true reduction in mortality. This is concerning, as it may lead to a false sense of security.
