An important study by F. Eun-Hyung Lee's team shows that long lived plasma cells (the source of long-term circulating antibodies) fail to establish after mRNA vaccination (even combined with SARS-CoV-2 infection). 🧵 (1/)
“In summary, this study shows that for some reason, vaccination against Spike with mRNA vaccine (even combined with infection) fails to establish long lived plasma cells that provide IgG against the virus long term.”

Masking reintroduced in N.S. hospitals as respiratory illnesses increase
“A partial masking mandate has returned to Nova Scotia hospitals and provincially run healthcare facilities for visitors and healthcare workers. "This is for anybody who is in clinical areas in the hospitals, inpatient units and clinics where we are providing direct patient care,”

Fear Itself
“Those who are the most well-informed about COVID, who know which variants are circulating, how to check wastewater levels, who encourage testing in their social circles and calmly continue to mask in public, have a more adult, emotionally mature relationship with the pandemic. They understand that denial is no remedy for fear, and delusion no refuge.”

SARS-CoV-2 Survival on Skin and its Transfer from Contaminated Surfaces
“How efficiently SARS-CoV-2 TRANSFERS from CONTAMINATED SURFACES (plastic, metal, of doorknobs, tables, phones, credit cards, toys, ...) to HUMAN SKIN, and how long the VIRUS SURVIVES on SKIN
While extensive research has examined the persistence of SARS-CoV-2 on various surfaces, there is limited understanding of how efficiently it transfers to human skin, and how long it survives on the skin. This study investigates two key aspects of SARS-CoV-2 transmission: (1) the transfer efficiency of SARS-CoV-2 from non-porous (plastic and metal) and porous (cardboard) surfaces to a 3D human skin model (LabSkin), and (2) the survival of SARS-CoV-2 on the skin under different temperature conditions.

Half of Americans never think they'll get COVID again
MASSIVE public health failure, and huge misinformation and propaganda win for both political parties.

People I know are yet again talking about sudden health problems:
“People I know are yet again talking about sudden health problems:
Hearing loss. Loss of smell. Movement issues. New onset asthma. Heart conditions. Clots in the legs. Zero connection being made to COVID.

Outbreak investigation of airborne transmission of Omicron (B.1.1.529) - SARS-CoV-2 variant of concern in a restaurant: Implication for enhancement of indoor air dilution
In May of 2021, Hong Kong required air purifers be placed in their restaurants after papers like this showed that you could be infected in just 19 minutes, median exposure time 34 minutes, while eating at a restaurant.

While daily cases are expected to exceed 1 million for the next month, a temporary lull to around 850,000 cases per day is anticipated in early November. This period is experiencing the highest transmission rates for this time of year ever recorded.

Covid-19 may lead to longest period of peacetime excess mortality, says new Swiss Re report | Swiss Re
“Fluctuations in excess mortality tend to be short-term, reflecting developments such as a large-scale medical breakthrough or the negative impact of a large epidemic. However, as society absorbs these events, excess mortality should revert to the baseline.
With COVID-19 this has not been the case and all-cause excess mortality is still above the pre-pandemic baseline. In 2021, excess mortality spiked to 23% above the 2019 baseline in the US, and 11% in the UK. As Swiss Re Institute's report estimates, in 2023, it remained significantly elevated in the range of 3–7% for the US, and 5–8% for the UK.
If the underlying drivers of current excess mortality continue, Swiss Re Institute's analysis estimates that excess mortality may remain as high as 3% for the US and 2.5% for the UK by 2033."
What does the percentage increase in deaths mean in real numbers? Roughly 3 million people die in the US every year of various causes (cancer, heart disease, accidents, etc). The 3-7% increase in 2023 represents a 3-7% increase in that 3m number, so roughly 90-210k more deaths. This places Covid-19 solidly among the top five killers in the US.
Honestly, I have absolutely no idea how you can genuinely look at this graph and not understand that ongoing waves of constant repeat covid infection are a principal cause of the actual devastating increase in long term disability.
