12/ Musk utterly failed to understand that Twitter’s hardest challenges are not about more revenue & fewer rules.

They are *human* challenges, about power, speech, competition, fairness, diversity, wealth, poverty, war, peace, safety, inclusion, equity, and privacy.

Looks like Yale school of public health has finally started to say what I have been repeatedly saying since 2020

1) covid creates longlasting autoimmunity by harming t regs
2) harms adaptive immunity
3) causes immune dysregulation
4) persists
etc

Today in 1653 Cromwell burst into Parliament and famously roared, 'Is there a single virtue now remaining amongst you? Is there one vice you do not possess?... In the name of God, go!'

“Why Is Everyone Sick After We
Forced Everyone To Get Sick?” Says Man Who Runs Whole Country

11) Public health and safety regulations that once protected us at a societal level have been loosened or stripped away. Which in turn has robbed us of trustworthy knowledge, choices, resources, and the ability to recognize and control risk.

Things judged worth investigating:

🔴Angela Rayner selling her council house

Things judged not worth investigating

🔵Tory donors receiving knighthoods, peerages and multimillion £ contracts for unusable PPE
🔵The PM's WhatsApp's mysteriously vanishing before the Covid Inquiry

tern Seatbelt in a car, helmet on a bike, respirator in a shop. Mitigation for life.

Cleaning the air in healthcare settings with better ventilation, added filtration, UV, FFP3 respirators as source and PPE control, isolation of sick workers with pay, shown to reduce number+ impact of airborne infections.
HAI should be prevented.
IPC, UK Health Security Agency Health and Safety Executive all failing.

tern There are too many cases of Long Ignorance going around, -people / organizations / media ignorant of Long Covid and its effects on those directly affected, as well as Covid and Long Covid's impact on society as a whole in the short and the longer term.

7. Kakistocracy

A state ruled and run by the least competent.

Or a political system which seems to reward and promote the people who are least qualified.

Oh.

55/ Laugh at those who teach comms if you like—who the hell cares? But for now comms-born thinking is more powerful than science, than history, than art, than geopolitics. Those who know how to communicate have the rudder and in 2024 far-right demagogues do it best.

God help us.

Today marks the anniversary of the Siege of Sarajevo. The “official” start of the Bosnian Genocide.

Almost 4 years of being cut off from the world, from food and water and electricity. 4 years of daily shelling, bombing, and terrorising campaigns of the city and its residents.

The history of #LongCovid is being rewritten: by policymakers, prize-winning journalists adjacent to power, medical professionals, science journals, and health bodies: facts and names are being erased, knowledge we had in 2020 is being hidden, patient-driven contributions omitted

Neil Stone A lesson in PH messaging: When you use the term 'minor' people believe it's ok to get repeatedly infected. Repeat infections is known to compound risk of long term damage. Ask yourself if you want this minimizing msg to be on your public record when cumulative damage is realized.

Rich and powerful people are cleaning their air and making their servants mask and test and get vaccinated.
And they're paying people to encourage you to get infected.
How do you feel about that?

That's what 'profits before people' means, after all: sacrificing human lives to make yourself richer. It's the foundational tenet of the conservative movement, though that impulse is often checked by other factors, like human decency.

I’m a keen proponent of lifestyle interventions. But they shouldn’t replace medical management, when it is clearly needed.

Imagine if we did this for cancer? Type 1 diabetes? Once upon a time we lacked knowledge of & treatment for these diseases, too.
