Peace, joy, grief: Making room for all the feelings showing up today. Thinking of my worldwide friends, those who don't have food, or water or peace💔...& lighting a candle for loved ones gone but not forgotten🕯
Centre piece of every Christmas since my childhood. The crib my Dad made from foraged wood. Same figurines & some of the original straw. If the house was burning down & I could only take one object, it'd be this💖🎄
To fellow woke zealots still basing personal & community safety decisions on scientific literature, as opposed to billionaire lackey politicians & press: I applaud you💝👏💪. Takes courage, strength, integrity & titanium grade tenacity to refuse to cower in the face of relentless political violence & harm.For anyone here who hasn't been keeping up to date, read the study below (there are so many more where that came from). It's never too late to start masking & cleaning indoor air. Every SARS2 infection is worth preventing - if you value your brain & every other organ. If, however, you're someone who doesn't need a functioning brain for your job/life & you're not afraid of a bit of early onset dementia, the odd heart attack & bouts of neuropsychiatric disorders, scroll on down to the nice sunset pics👍
This study was published yesterday, Christmas Eve. All of the studies below & the circa 500,000 other studies showing the harm SARS-CoV-2 does are published in reputable scientific journals. The questions we should all be asking ourselves are: Why are governments pretending these studies don't exist? Why are public health officials not informing the public of the known harms from repeated SARS2 infections(including immune damage) & advising on proven effective prevention against an airborne pathogen (ffp2/3, N95 respirator masks, HEPAs, ventilation, testing, staying home when sick, vaccination/boosters) & why are health correspondents (or anyone in the media) not reporting on these studies? 👇
COVID-19 associated neurological and psychological manifestations
"Jeimy thinks that people who are unwilling to consider the possibility of immune damage are perhaps driven by a fear of what those answers might mean. “Nobody wants to be the one that says, ‘Yes, covid-19 causes disability’ [beyond long covid],” she says, alluding to the health and economic implications of such a conclusion".
"A 2025 study published in the Lancet11 tracked more than 830 000 US veterans and found that even non-admitted patients who tested positive for covid-19 had higher rates of bacterial, viral, and fungal infections in the year that followed. It also found that patients admitted to hospital with covid-19 were more likely to develop sepsis than those admitted with influenza.
A Cell study12 of people with “long” covid suggests that SARS-CoV-2 infection can reprogram bone marrow stem cells, imprinting epigenetic changes that persist for at least a year, skewing some immune cells towards a state of hypersensitivity and inflammation. The findings signal a possible novel mechanism for longer term immune changes not strictly limited to populations with long covid.
Finally, a 2024 study13 of long covid by researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, found viral RNA in gut tissue two years after infection. Using positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, the team found that T cell activity was clustered in places where SARS-CoV-2 RNA—a likely marker of viral persistence—was also present."
