Dr. Zian Tseng has been studying sudden cardiac deaths since 2011–and is now using those data to compare to SCDs post-COVID. “A post-2020 person who recovered from COVID… died suddenly from their acute myocardial infarction. We found SARS-CoV-2 Spike RNA in their brain [tissue].”

Please stay home (or mask up) if you have flu symptoms. ♥️ We all need extra rest when sick and mixing these viruses is scary!
With flu season having started, the US is entering its most dangerous period when it comes to H5N1 bird flu's ability to adapt into a virus that can more easily be transmitted between humans.

If a person gets flu and bird flu at the same time, the viruses can swap genes.

Reminder: High quality masks/respirators such as N95s protect against all airborne viruses including bird flu.

This refers to structural sexism and available resources. Combine that with medical gaslighting and dismissing symptoms disproportionately affecting women and minorities.
New study finds that women born in the most sexist U.S. states experienced faster memory decline in later years compared to women born in the least sexist states. The difference was equivalent to nine years of cognitive aging.
Sexism Is a Risk Factor for Memory Decline Among Women
Columbia researchers have found that women born in the most sexist U.S. states experience faster memory decline in later life compared to women born in the least sexist states.

A few uncomfortable truths:

COVID is MORE “common” than the “common cold”

It circulates MORE than the flu, even during “flu season”

There’s no “COVID season” as COVID is present all year round

These are facts that ppl find hard to accept as it would mean they need to wear a mask in public spaces
