EXCLUSIVE: I interview lead author of Cochrane's #mask review, Tom Jefferson
He condemns the pandemic’s overnight experts, the multitude of scientifically baseless health policies & opens up about his disappointment in Cochrane https://maryannedemasi.substack.com/p/exclusive-lead-author-of-new-cochrane…@VPrasadMDMPH@davidemccune
Evidence is mounting that a collapse of the western Antarctic ice sheet may be in our near future. A new study suggest that 125,000 years ago, when the global temperature was about as warm as today, the ice sheet completely collapsed.
From a twenty four year old:
“I don’t have a future because I can’t think anymore.”
Very important thread.
Some scary.
Some hopeful.
Some practical.
All useful to know.

Viral evolution is not our friend: a about the future of covid-19.
What does the future hold for us with COVID-19?
In a recent preprint (h/t @madistod), we continue to explore a question that's concerned us since the beginning of the pandemic: (1)

Johnson & Johnson stops development of all antibacterial programs. Sigh!
J&J developed Levaquin, bedaquiline, and several other life-saving antibiotics.
Obviously this happens because they can't make money on antibiotics. Thi…https://lnkd.in/eSQgfX-thttps://lnkd.in/eK-3RuP4
I think the plasmacytoid dendritic cells are the smoking gun. There doesn’t seem to be anything to suggest AJ is wrong (gone irreversibly after mild SARSCoV2) and several minimisers have stonewalled the subject when raised. This looks like a worst case scenario to me.
I've transported a highly contagious covid + relative in a closed car for three hours (air con w hepa was on). I wore an FFP2/N95 mask and remained symptom free. Anecdotal but reflects the science.
I'll just take solace in that your side is losing and are now a fringe minority. Have a nice day!

Our staff sickness rates on Covid wards plummeted and have remained at non-COVID ward levels for the last year.
The paper was prior to vaccination.
“Your side is losing”
#infowars
The Great Barrington Declaration signees are mad keen on our nasal cilia being dusted with SARSCoV2 virions, whilst stonewalling the wiped out plasmacytoid dendritic cell populations. Cool & normal ✌️

They are winning the infowar. If pDC populations in kids post mild SARSCoV2 isn’t known soon, the ability for societies to respond will degrade & they will get away with global genocide. Are politicians even aware that missing pDCs = CFR of 1.0 without treatment?
Better study:
Well fitted FFP3 work
If your argument is to point to studies employing lower quality masks, less consistently, and not fit them, when we have excellent evidence on effectiveness of well fitted respirators, then I suggest you sit down

, no doubt you’re guaranteed impunity through ‘nationally security’… I just wanted to check, did they tell you those infected with Omicron will never get their plasmacytoid dendritic cells back? Or that ‘live with the virus’ is an oxymoron? #politas

UK to replace vax only strategy with infection only
UK set to wind down vaccine programme
Younger children will never get the choice of vax, even once they become adults as UK thinks SARS2 will transition to just another childhood illness

Catching covid was associated with subsequent Strep Tonsillitis in a new BMJ study
That hit in the plasmacytoid dendritic cells that I mentioned before is not inconsequential

Would you mind asking Mark‘TotalBS’Veld if he could arouse his gift for language again and enlighten those of us less fortunate as to what happens to plasmacytoid dendritic cells during ‘mild’ Omicron infections?

Interesting b/c we’re advocating for this in Aus
Everyone’s vacc status is waned & no one eligible for another dose. Aust health auth say don’t need one b/c “rich hybrid immunity” from (assumed) infection this year 🤦♀️
What about those who were careful & haven’t been infected?
Until we find the missing plasmacytoid dendritic cells, there is no ‘mild’, no variants of concern, no grades of vulnerability, no reason to throw caution to the wind, and no hope.
This abuse suffered at the hands of the Catholic Church has been sublimynalised and tolerated due to indoctrination occurring during formative years. There are lessons here regarding abrupt climate change and the SARSCoV2 pandemic.
In 1985, Searson sexually assaulted 8-year-old Julie Stewart in the confessional many times that year. Julie told teachers Searson had ‘interfered’ with her. No one reported Searson to the police. #GeorgePell#Pell#CatholicChurch
Thanks again for the hot tip Peter. I see a whole day has passed without reply (apologies, I should have quote tweeted in the first place). Do you think we will find those plasmacytoid dendritic cells that are missing from all individuals infected with Omicron/Covid-19?
