Democratic members of the #House select subcommittee on the coronavirus pandemic defended Dr. Anthony #Fauci ahead of Monday's hearing about the #US’ #COVID19#pandemic response, policies & transparency.
The representatives blasted #Republicans’ claims of Fauci’s involvement in starting [for real they had to say this] or covering up the pandemic as a “dangerous” & “cartoonish” narrative.
“This investigation of Dr. #Fauci shows that he is an honorable #PublicServant, committed to #PublicHealth & he is not a comic book supervillain. He did not fund research to create the #Covid19 pandemic. He did not lie to #Congress about gain of function research in #Wuhan. And he did not organize a lab leak suppression campaign to cover his tracks. These are outrageous concoctions, fabrications & distortions,” #Democrat Rep #JamieRaskin said.
🇮🇪 Irish health chiefs sound alarm amid spike in Covid cases and hospitalisations.
"The Health Protection Surveillance Centre has confirmed an almost 20% rise in cases in a week up to May 25"
"Fatigue, a high temperature/having chills and a dry cough are the top three Covid symptoms, according to the HSE but there are others to be aware of."
Les enfants sont des dangers pour eux-mêmes et les autres : ils se
perdent ; ils propagent des maladies... Pour remédier au problème des enfants,
il faut les pucer et les géolocaliser !
Cette conférence démontre comment
un raisonnement juridique bien appliqué aboutit à cette conclusion inéluctable.
"The results revealed significant differences in the neurophysiological parameters of P300 & beta band rhythms in subjects affected by cognitive fog, and these alterations persist even 8 months after recovery from #Covid19"
Definition of utter insanity - Ontario will be cancelling funding of wastewater surveillance for ALL diseases - this as Covid is once again on the rise and H5N1 is lurking as a potential new pandemic
I follow COVID scientists here on Mastodon. I've seen them post links to studies showing waning effectiveness of COVID vaccines after 6 months.
I received the updated booster last October and want to get boosted again prior to some planned travel in July. (Air travel to the MAGA anti-vax cesspool known as Florida)
I have contacted three pharmacies in my area.
One has no COVID vaccines at all and said they won't receive any until fall.
The other two say they will not vaccinate me because they must follow US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines stating that only people 65 years and older should receive boosters at this time.
They won't vaccinate me even if I am willing to pay out of pocket.
Both say I must get a recommendation from my health care provider before they will even consider it.
Less than 20% of people in my state are up to date on their COVID vaccines. For those of us who want to follow the science and not some arbitrary age limitation, why not let us get vaccinated?
I try to be very objective and, when possible, directly quote the research I share. Here's an example of the opposite. This guy screams "breaking news" about myocarditis and pericarditis "only" in vaccinated children. What he doesn't share:
STUDY found #COVID19 vaccination reduced hospitalizations by ~40%.
Myocarditis and pericarditis were documented only in the vaccinated groups with rates of 27 and 10 cases PER MILLION after 1st and 2nd doses.
"In his first public testimony since stepping down from [U.S.] government office at the end of 2022, Dr. Anthony Fauci on Monday fended off a variety of attacks from Republican politicians at a fiery hearing called to discuss lessons learned during the pandemic."
NBC News reports: "Fauci has emerged as one of the people most vilified by supporters of former President Donald Trump, with many blaming him for the pandemic based on a wide array of false or misleading claims. Calls to prosecute Fauci for unspecified crimes have become common on the right."
Trial results for longer-lasting Covid vaccines & more news - Next Generation Update 17.
3 sets of trial results: 1 is the first full report of a pancoronavirus vaccine, and it did pretty well, giving developers lots to go on for this ambitious type of vaccine.
18 new preclinical study reports - including another 2 showing intranasal vaccination reduced transmission among animals sharing the same air.
“ governments and policymakers “need to thoroughly investigate underlying causes of persistent excess mortality and evaluate their health crises policies.”
Step back! The #MAGAts are doing #science! LMFAO 🤣 Grand juries comprised of #Florida citizens don't determine scientific #truth. That's not their job, and they are utterly lacking in the requisite knowledge, education, and expertise to evaluate scientific claims. And these are the same people who don't believe the NY grand jury is capable of returning an indictment on #Trump. But, I guess this is how dem Florida MAGAts do the science and book learnin'!
Oh my good FCKING GOD.
Friend in the UK who has just been on a CRUISE posting that she has "caught a cold on the plane on the way home" but that she had a bit of a sore throat on the ship which she put down to the air conditioning. Several others travelling with her also have "a cold".
We are in YEAR FIVE of this fvcking PANDEMIC people.
IT'S NOT A COLD. #COVIDISNOTOVER
@dave
Yes, with you there. It's still awful to watch. This particular person is very intelligent, but this is either the 3rd or 4th episode of #COVID19 she's had (that I'm aware of).
🇨🇦 Canada: New COVID-19 subvariants become the dominant strains in Canada.
"These new subvariants, known as KP.2 and KP.3, are under the Omicron umbrella, a type of mutation from the COVID-19 virus itself. They've spread so quickly that, as of May 19, 49.2 per cent of COVID-19 cases in Canada involve one of the strains."
"In our unmatched comparison, we observed that, following #COVID19, POTS and ME/CFS yielded higher rates than after negative testing. In absolute terms, we observed #POTS & #MECFS diagnoses to have a similar disease burden as DM [diabetes]"
