1. #CDC was finally allowed to issue a statement on the Texas #measles outbreak, though it wasn't sent to the press distribution list or posted on its homepage. They tweeted it in the other place at 8:29 pm EST.

I’m pleased to share that we FINALLY submitted our latest manuscript on SARS-CoV-2 cryptic lineages and what they tell us about the origins of COVID-19.

Eipä yllätä, että kova nousu infektioiden kasvussa kulkee kokonaisuudessa ja etenkin lapsissa ja nuorissa käsi kädessä omikronin rantautumisen ja sen vapaan leviämisen sallimisen ja tehokkaiden suojaustoimien lopettamisen kanssa.
Finland's epidemic 14 Dec 2024: infectious diseases are showing very strong growth. Among 5-24 year olds, infectious disease incidence (ytd) is up to 4-5 times higher than in 2023, and the year isn't over yet.

If an #H5N1 pandemic starts tomorrow or in three months, there will be little mystery as to how it happened. The conditions are all there. They have been for a while.
So in some ways the more interesting question to me at the moment is: Why aren’t we in a pandemic yet?
Story here, 🧵 to come:

Why hasn’t the bird flu pandemic started?
Some scientists examining mutations found in H5N1 viruses fear major outbreak is imminent but others says pathogen remains unpredictable

*Children with long COVID* recovered *within 2 years* and *repeated infection made it worse*. Read that as many times as you need to. This is NOT a happy news story.

Important #LongCovid pilot study
"72 genes were identified as significantly up- or down-regulated in Long COVID samples, and the vast majority were downregulated. The most significantly up- or downregulated genes fell into 2 main categories, either associated with cell survival or with inflammation"

Drinking raw, unpasteurised, milk is a bad idea.

It has no nutritional benefits, but it will expose you to a wide range of pathogens like tuberculosis and Salmonella

Now also bird flu. The mortality rate of bird flu is around 50%

Your choice.

Our new study shows that SARS-CoV-2 spike protein accumulates & persists in the body for years after infection, especially in the skull-meninges-brain axis, potentially driving long COVID. mRNA vaccines help but cannot stop it🔬🧠🦠🧵Your weekend read👇
