Please remember, every time you see a newspaper or magazine article denigrating people - people like myself - who choose to avoid infection with SARS-CoV-2, there will always be a tiny, quiet voice in the mind of the author whispering, 'what if they're right'?

We are right.

SARS-CoV-2 is so dangerous precisely because of its insidious nature. Its propensity to continually re-infect. The superficial similarity of the symptoms it causes to those of other common viruses. The unseen risk of sequelae. That wretched molecular shark tricks almost everyone.

I am convinced in the future we will look back and realise the sheer unimaginable folly of letting a virus that can cause immune dysregulation and cognitive dysfunction in humans infect and re-infect the global population over and over again. Worse still, that we encouraged it.

My mom is coughing as she's preparing Christmas meals for tomorrow.

Is it a flu or is it adenovirus?

Both are airborne as they spread through breathing and coughing and live a while on contaminated surfaces.

Symptoms: sore throat, runny nose, and cough to middle-ear infection, high fever, ...
Feeling sick or suffering from a virus that comes with a sore throat? This infection also will cause you to have very little to no energy and this appears to be lasting for days, or even weeks for some. But what is it, exactly? It is being called the “mystery throat virus”, and according to many people it has been years since they had something like it. According to Eric Sachinwalla, .... if you have these symptoms, you most likely had adenovirus. What is adenovirus? Adenovirus is a common virus that spreads throughout the year, but there is no treatment for it, unlike flu and COVID which can be treated with prescribed medications. This type of virus is a group of common viruses that can cause these symptoms you may be having, which are cold- and flu-like. What makes things worrying is that it is quite contagious compared to other viruses, and it won’t be killed with soap, water or other disinfectants we use every day, meaning it lives longer in the environment. How does it spread? It can spread through the respiratory tract, shed through stool, and live a while on contaminated surfaces. When it comes to symptoms, adenovirus attacks many different parts of your body. This means that you can experience everything from sore throat, runny nose, and cough to middle-ear infection, high fever, and shortness of breath, while it can cause diarrhea too. What symptoms you will go through all depends on the type of adenovirus strain, as there are nearly 60 for this type of virus, and which subtype is causing the rise in infections remains unknown. When should you go to the doctor? You should pay your doctor a visit if you’re feeling worse by day three, as that timing might be a good reason to call your doctor and see if what you’re experiencing is worth getting checked out for. Medical attention should also be sought by those who are immunocompromised, parents of young babies, or those that have underlying medical conditions like lung or heart disease.

Sharing an Independent article: New study reveals hidden infections could fuel Long COVlD | Long COVlD affects about 400 million people around the world, but still the underlying cause is unknown By Rebecca Whittaker (https://bit.ly/COINFECTION) Layered on top of the article is a quote and a graph titled “Time Course of SARS-CoV-2 and Coinfection.” The graphic shows “Potential temporal relationships between SARS-CoV-2 and co-infections. Various co-infections occurring at various times relative to the acute SARS-CoV-2 infection may predispose to post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC) or modulate the course of PASC.”   The quote says, “A review published in the journal eLife by 17 experts, suggests infections that were acquired before or during COVlD may be to blame for the persistent symptoms.” Source: eLife article: “The role of co-infection in the pathogenesis of acute SARS-CoV-2 infection and development of post-acute sequelae: A perspective” (https://elifesciences.org/articles/106308 )

Why are hospitals filled with #flu cases now?

- immune system dysregulation from #COVID infections

- new strains of flu not providing full coverage

- few people are wearing N95 respirators in public places, offices, and bars

- no airborne mitigation systems inside these places

The thesis of the book is that early COVID lockdowns weren't worth it and mid-COVID mitigation measures like masks, contact tracing and business closures don't work.

This is laughably false and the authors have endorsed the people now running Trump's HHS.

Policy on health is clearly broken - politicized, out of touch, reactive and slow. My recent keynote at the Canadian Biosafety Symposium took a big-picture look at how and why that's happening, and how we can turn things around.

Research shows melatonin supports the glymphatic system, which clears metabolic waste and toxins from the brain. Acting as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, it helps remove neurotoxins like amyloid-β.

See:

pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...
And

pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29637859/
Research indicates that melatonin plays a crucial role in supporting the glymphatic system, a network responsible for removing metabolic waste and toxins from the brain. It is released into the cerebrospinal fluid and moves through perivascular spaces to enter brain tissue, where it functions as a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent, aiding in the removal of neurotoxins like amyloid-β. Studies in transgenic mouse models of amyloidosis have shown that melatonin treatment leads to a statistically significant increase in soluble monomeric amyloid-β (Aβ40 and Aβ42) in cervical and axillary lymph nodes—key indicators of enhanced lymphatic clearance—and a corresponding decrease in harmful oligomeric Aβ forms in the brain. These findings suggest that melatonin promotes the drainage of toxic proteins from the brain via the lymphatic system rather than inhibiting it. AI-generated answer. Please verify critical facts.

#Sleep is essential because it allows the brain to perform vital maintenance, like clearing waste.

However, sleep aids can interfere with the neuromodulators responsible for this process, preventing the brain from fully resetting for the next day.

REM sleep is essential for this process.
What powers the brain’s ‘waste-removal’ system? For this study, researchers used various technologies to record brain activity while mice were both awake and asleep. Scientists observed that slow synchronized oscillations of the neurotransmitter norepinephrine, along with cerebral blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)Trusted Source, combine during non-rapid eye movement (non-REM) sleep, essentially power the brain’s waste-removing glymphatic system. “Our brain is unique in that it does not have lymphatic vessels, which removes waste products such as dead cells and bacteria from the rest of our body,” Maiken Nedergaard, MD, PhD, professor at the Universities of Rochester and Copenhagen and lead author of this study told MNT. “Instead, the brain uses cerebrospinal fluid, a brain fluid that is produced inside the brain, to flush the brain tissue and wash away unwanted molecules,” she explained. “The cleaning system of the brain is called the glymphatic system. Importantly, the glymphatic system is only on during the deep part of sleep called non-REM sleep. This is because of a neuromodulator called norepinephrine, which during non-REM sleep is released in slow cycles roughly every 50 seconds.” – Maiken Nedergaard, MD, PhD “Norepinephrine binds to the muscle cells of the arteries, which makes them constrict,” Nedergaard told us. “Therefore, the slow oscillation in norepinephrine concentration drives a slow fluctuation in the diameter of the arteries and in the blood volume in the brain.” ”This dynamic change in blood volume works like a pump to transport cerebrospinal fluid along the arteries towards the brain and through the brain tissue. Thus, norepinephrine coordinates the synchronized constriction and dilation of the blood vessels which drives the glymphatic system,” she detailed. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/common-sleep-medication-may-prevent-brain-from-clearing-waste#What-powers-the-brain-s-waste-removal-system
