This was a headscratcher. How do you... Highlight an issue that isn't well understood Draw attention to the clean air campaign Represent this positively Have a message that makes people curious In the context of a street art festival? 🧵

Hey everyone. Here's Alan providing people with the link to the petition to recall his article. DO NOT leave him hanging. Sign it.

The only way they can not put this together is to wilfully not put it together.

Rates of infection with other pathogens after a ve #COVID test versus a neg test - more brilliant work from @zalaly and team. COVID causes immune dysregulation and ⬆️risk of other infections. thelancet.com/journals/lanin…

When society decides a mass disabling event is “over,” the people still suffering become invisible. Their illness becomes anxiety. Their disability becomes a personal failure. Their abandonment and subsequent isolation becomes their fault because “they chose to hang on to it.”

The hardest thing about COVID isn’t the science. It’s the invoice. Accepting the evidence means paying for years of miscalculations, bad assumptions, social conformity, and public certainty. Most people would rather dispute the bill than pay it.

The problem isn’t that people can’t understand the evidence. The problem is that the evidence comes with consequences. If they’re right, nothing changes. If we’re right, they have to rethink years of decisions, behaviors, and beliefs. That’s why denial remains the most popular intervention.

Impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection on subclinical myocardial injury in the general population: the Trøndelag Health Study 🚨NORWEGIAN CONFIRMATION BOMBSHELL: COVID infection leaves lasting, hidden scars on the heart muscle, even years later. "An elevated cardiac troponin I (cTnI) level indicates the presence of heart damage!" ➡️Study: - This was a prospective longitudinal cohort study within the Trøndelag Health Study (HUNT), a large population-based survey in Norway, - Researchers measured high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI), a sensitive blood marker of subclinical myocardial (heart muscle) injury, at baseline before the COVID-19 pandemic (2017–2019) in 37,823 general-population adults, - The same marker was then re-measured after the pandemic wave (2021–2023) in the 19,550 participants who returned for follow-up, - SARSCoV2 infection status was rigorously determined at follow-up via spike and nucleocapsid IgG antibody tests in blood, combined with self-reported infection history and any available laboratory confirmation of prior infection, - Infection was defined using nucleocapsid IgG (specific to natural infection, not vaccination) plus spike IgG, self-report, and lab confirmation, precisely to capture true infections regardless of vaccination, ➡️Pre-infection result: - Higher baseline hs-cTnI was associated with a lower risk of subsequent SARSCoV2 infection, ➡️Post-infection result: - Confirmed SARSCoV2 infection (any definition) was independently linked to higher post-pandemic hs-cTnI concentrations and a significantly greater probability of an increase in hs-cTnI from pre- to post-pandemic levels, after full adjustment for confounders and baseline troponin, ➡️Vaccination: - Study reports that 98.9% of participants were vaccinated and explain(in Methods) why they used nucleocapsid IgG (not spike) to avoid vaccine confounding, ➡️Limitations: - Correctly sited and commented, - No data on symptoms, asymptomatic/mild/severe cases, or hospitalization, but one may rightfully assume that the majority were mild SarsCoV2 cases, ➡️Conclusion: “SARSCoV2 infection is associated with increased risk of developing chronic subclinical myocardial injury in the general population, but pre-existing chronic subclinical myocardial injury is not associated with increased risk of contracting SARS-CoV-2.” ‼️To all minimiser still shrugging off SARS-CoV-2 as “just a cold” or “over”: this Norwegian study proves every infection silently scars hearts across the general public with lasting subclinical damage, and with the now-established cumulative cardiac injury from reinfections, your denial is quietly killing many!

Filtering the air may help prevent your own infection from becoming more severe If everyone in a household becomes infected with the same virus, does it help to isolate from each other and can you be a danger to yourself? Read on to find out...🧵1/ #AirQuality #IAQ #Ventilation

To be part of the event tomorrow, we're also running an informal art session for kids where they get to create and illustrate their own pinwheel - a symbol of air movement.
