The UK COVID inquiry is valuable simply in documenting the failures of the pandemic.

Establishing for the historical record that the public health and infection control bodies that grabbed control over COVID decision-making were negligent and out of their depth will make next steps easier.

How UN Betrayal of West Papua Led to Genocide, Step by Step The facts show that, in this six-decade-plus crime against humanity, Indonesia has been the tool of other interests, that the role of the United Nations (by which I mean some of its dominant powers an...

Comprehensive mapping of the signaling events evoked by SARS-CoV-2 variants delta and omicron in human astrocytes - Scientific Reports Scientific Reports - Comprehensive mapping of the signaling events evoked by SARS-CoV-2 variants delta and omicron in human astrocytes

Researchers in Slovakia exposed human astrocytes to Delta and Omicron SARS-CoV-2 variants and found that both disrupted hundreds of genes tied to brain signaling, barrier integrity, and mood-related neurotransmitters.

Misinformation is probably one of the most significant weapons of mass destruction in the world today. It's impossible to know what is and isn't real any more, so we give up, and believe whatever makes us comfortable, becoming ever more polarised and angry, as a species.

Delta -> fast 🔥

Omicrons -> slow 🔥

Macro support bhattacharya

Since Bhattacharya is pure MAGA/MAHA, those who elevated him own this moment.

More on this revisionist historian Friday at SBM.

No punches pulled.

Trump lied... no shit. What do people expect?

America needs to have a general strike, yesterday...

NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya quote-tweeting a post from the American Association of University Professors. The original post from AAUP read: Fascism generally doesn’t do great under peer review, but perhaps it’s the intellectual values of academia, which emphasizes critical inquiry & challenges traditional norms, that may be inherently less appealing to those with a more conservative worldview. Bhattacharya responded: This is as pure a distillation of academic bigotry as one could ever expect to see openly expressed. The bigotry undermines science. Academic group think supported unscientific ideas like lockdowns, mask mandates, immunity denial, vax mandates and so much covid era nonsense.

Right-wing ideology has no place in science. Its entire function is to destroy science.

It’s not “academic bigotry,” it’s a lesson that we should have already learned but are now learning in real time.

Right-wing political operative Bhattacharya is one of our key instructors.

You may have thought the LNP would no longer dictate Australia’s climate policies.

But no.

The LNP “welcomed the government's decision to rule out a climate trigger "after sustained pressure".

Over 650 rabbis speak out against Mamdani as threat to ‘safety and dignity of Jews in every city’

“We will not accept a culture that treats _Jewish self-determination_ as a negotiable ideal or Jewish inclusion as something to be ‘granted,’” the letter continued. “The safety and dignity of Jews in every city depend on rejecting that false choice.”

Over 650 bigots equate Judaism with ethno-nationalism and genocide

TikTok Knew I Had A Rare Genetic Condition Before I Did After years of feeling dismissed by doctors, it was a video on TikTok that eventually led Lottie Winter to discover that her symptoms were not in her imagination – she had a rare genetic condition.

‘For years, I’d been brushed off by doctors who usually chalked my symptoms up to anxiety – if they believed me in the first place’

Why not vote Greens?
That vote will have a greater chance to worry ALP & LNP.
Sadly, some of the Independents are Ringers for the problem parties.
Numbering all green candidates from one to ...& Independents after you are saying NO TO THE DUOPOLY.

Irrational denial of Covid-19 is preventing most people from seeing the full extent of the irreparable harm that is being caused by deliberate negligence, unrestrained contagion, and repeated infections.

I beg to differ! If it's not a sequencing mistake—and it looks clean—one of these BA.3.2 has something completely novel in SARS-CoV-2 evolution: an FCS-adjacent deletion!

One of the two QT repeats appears to have been deleted. I've never seen anything like this before. BA.3.2 is a different beast.

YouTube video by The Sunday Shot Chris Hedges talks with Dave about journalism, censorship and empire

Unemployment, poverty and homelessness are all deliberately manufactured and maintained in order to suppress wages and terrorise the working class into obedience.

None of this is inevitable. This is the world that the bosses choose to create.

New data on links between early death and homelessness - ABC listen The Institute of Health and Welfare has examined the link between death and homelessness.

Australian Institute of Health and Welfare found the average age of death for people who've experienced homelessness is 55 - almost three decades younger than the general population www.abc.net.au/listen/progr... cc. @purplepingers.bsky.social

Disabled people tried to warn you.

When everyone rushed “back to normal” and started adopting eugenicist talking points like “only the vulnerable are at risk from covid”… we said this would happen.

It was always about culling the herd.

Eliminating the weak.

Dismantling public health

Its always been about the money. That's why the Great Barrington Declaration exists.

This is (one example of) what (unmasked) "living with covid" looks like: endless infections with other patogens, because of immune system damage from regular SARS-CoV-2 infections.

Not going to be able to protest, placard, meme or vote your way out of fascism. Urgent disruptive direct action and civil disobedience that doesn't stop until all the criminals are out of power is required. The concentration of wealth went too far.

Placards and protests are useless in stopping fascism. Fascism must be smashed. Things will keep getting worse until there is large scale disruptive direct action and civil disobedience that doesn't stop until all the criminals in power are out.

Being both Black and autistic means your “meltdown” is seen as aggression, not distress.
Police, teachers, even doctors often interpret your neurology through racial bias and that can be deadly.
We need safety, not suspicion 👌🏽
