I often think this about COVID-19 too. I might not win, but I refuse to helplessly be washed along with the tide. My efforts might be minuscule, and unnoticeable in the scheme of the universe, but they make a difference to one persons universe. That’s enough.

As for the question about the origin of the pandemic, that question too has been answered to a very high degree of certainty. You can read all about that in some of our papers, which you can find here: andersen-lab.com/publications/. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

On August 3, Michigan reported two deaths associated with its cyclosporiasis outbreak. The state didn't say how either person died, how old they were, or what conditions they had. It did say both had "significant underlying health conditions." That was almost the only detail. 🧵

As for the kids we have already given a life changing diagnosis of severe long COVID to… we are all responsible for that injury… Just sit with that for a bit and then consider taking up wearing a well fitted mask or respirator… and teaching kids in your life to do the same.

As you know, I’ve been saying PROTECT KIDS FROM COVID-19 since the very beginning… and despite the fact that these kids are superficially looking like they are just being kids… what we are doing to them is NOT OK.

Other things like epilepsy etc… was expecting an increase too… and oh look… pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

Honestly When you consider the fact that kids are being repeatedly infected by COVID-19… a virus that we have seen histological evidence of nerve damage… I’m relieved the kids are doing as well as they are… 😟

Safer air is not just about air filtration. Today I am going to service and clean the air conditioner. I haven’t used it in ages, so I’m getting it ready for summer. I don’t fancy starting it up and getting some fantastic fungus from it, or allergies if it’s dusty.

I don't understand why people aren't more freaked out about the coordinated water systems cyberattack that hit *seven* US states (over 30 facilities in one state alone; people had to boil water). Anyway, if you missed the new #Cybersecurity roundup this morning: www.patreon.com/violetblue/p...
