I've been teaching at 3rd level for 30 years. I have never experienced anything like the number of students with recent-onset cardiac, gastrointestinal, and neurological issues as I have in the last couple of years, yet people in the uni keep saying post-COVID, during COVID, etc.

Whooping cough cases up 5x this year
Whooping cough cases up 5x this year

From former IN Health Director and Former US Surgeon General:

“Whooping cough cases up 5x this year

100,000 global measles deaths - mostly in kids

H5N1 steamrolling towards pandemic status. Egg prices skyrocketing.

The new administration had better have a strong infectious disease response plan- and had better ensure public health and vaccine confidence stays high. Or they’ll be distracted with outbreaks for 4 years this time instead of 1. 🤷🏽‍♂️”

“If anyone tells you that we are in a better place now than in the beginning of the pandemic, it’s a lie. People are dying more in the chronic phase of Covid than in the acute stage, and those who survive, are left with chronic illnesses that may become permanent.

We must remain resilient.”

“You need to prepare for the collapse of the US emergency medical system. Hi.
