D C FitzgeraldRand attended Duke University School of Medicine in 1988. Apparently learning to read, but lacking the comprehension and analysis skills required to have an informed opinion. Not good qualities in someone who can’t read or comprehend medical journals. <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/health" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#health</a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/covid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#covid</a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#science</a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/medicine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#medicine</a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/disinformation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#disinformation</a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/propaganda" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#propaganda</a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fascism</a>

💉💉💉💉💉💉💉💉 🗿😷:antiverified:RT @EckerleIsabella@x.com: »My opinion & I will die on this hill: The current anti-vaccine movement will have a major impact on women and will reverse women's rights. When women have to produce extra babies because 1 in 5 will not survive, they will not have energy or time to fight for equality anymore.While being pregnant, postpartum, caring for many children, caring for a sick child, grieving deceased ones & fearing their siblings dying as well, women will be drained of energy & will not fight oppression. Without vaccines, a lot of healthy children will not survive their early childhood period.In addition, not providing vaccines will disproportionally affect vulnerable children: While many perfectly healthy children will die, those with underlying conditions are even at higher risk. Not protecting them will shorten their life. We've seen it already during Covid.I just want to stress this: Most of society is not aware in which a luxury situation vaccines has put parents in only the last few decades, that is, not seeing your young children die. If you don't believe me, read books about the polio period, or visit an old graveyard.

magnus (he/him)"For the longest time in the field of immunology, there was the sort of adage that your immune system needs to be tested every now and again to stay strong. That's an old-fashioned idea.The more new-fashioned and evidence-based idea is that, although your immune system can take on [a COVID] infection, you want to avoid testing it as much as possible because your body is sustaining damage with each infection that it survives."<a href="https://venner.network/tags/covid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#covid</a> <a href="https://venner.network/tags/immuneSystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#immuneSystem</a> <a href="https://www.cbc.ca/radio/quirks/beyond-long-covid-1.7485888" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.cbc.ca/radio/quirks/beyond-long-covid-1.7485888</a>

They gave me COVID and then mocked me while I recovered. They then refused to believe me that I had long COVID and pretended it was all in my head until a few years ago. They never apologized for crippling me forever for a few bar drinks. They are pro vaccine liberals by the way.

datum (n=1)that Blood Advances paper aligns with earlier autopsy results, and confirmed<blockquote>SARS-CoV-2+ megakaryocytes are present in lung and brain autopsy tissues from deceased donors who had COVID-19</blockquote>But heck! We already knew MKs were long-term impacted.

[...] at peak SARS-CoV-2 viremia, when the disease primarily affected the lungs, MKs were not significantly different from those from healthy mice. Conversely, a significant divergence in the MK transcriptome was observed during systemic inflammation, although SARS-CoV-2 RNA was never detected in the BM, and it was no longer detectable in the lungs. Under these conditions, the MK transcriptional landscape was enriched in pathways associated with histone modifications, MK differentiation, NETosis, and autoimmunityand autoimmunity</blockquote>The breadcrumbs are everywhere.fin/🧵 <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/CovidIsAirborne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CovidIsAirborne</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/SARSCoV2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SARSCoV2</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/Covid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Covid</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/COVID19" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#COVID19</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/CovidCompetent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CovidCompetent</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/AirborneAware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AirborneAware</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/immunology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#immunology</a>

datum (n=1)So. How about this careful result demonstrating viral replication inside megakaryocyte immune cells?<blockquote>transmission electron microscopy pointed to the presence of viral particles inside bone marrow MK. Immunolabeling confirmed the presence of two SARS-CoV-2 proteins, spike and Orf3a, as well as double-stranded RNA suggesting a potential viral replication cycle.</blockquote>Note this study is from last month, but it's from hospitalized 2020-2021 patient data. It's existence proof, not population statistics.That said:<blockquote>bone marrow MK infection is not a strict determinant of mortality.
