Nearly another day of dental hygiene done with as good IAQ as I can muster. HEPA’s on , FarUV , windows open & FFP3 as standard. It CAN be done🙌🏻

Ever been the only sober person in the room? Notice how easy it is to know when anyone else is even only slightly drunk? But when you’re drinking with them, their drunkenness doesn’t register? (Avoiding COVID infections whilst being witness to everyone else’s brain damage)

Dear DfE, The biggest cause of pupil absence and teacher absence, by a very long way, is illness. Your own data shows this clearly. If you want to improve school attendance, you have to improve health. Start with HEPA air purifiers. They cost less than £10 per pupil. Please

🚨 World first at our UZ Leuven, Belgium: The new NeuroExplorer brain PET scanner is now in clinical use, with up to 20× higher resolution. Like finally putting glasses on the brain: it reveals tiny structures and early damage invisible on standard scans. This will be a game-changer for clinical use, spotting post-COVID brain fog, inflammation & hidden neurological scars years earlier. 😉Reserving patient slots! Proud of our alma mater! #NeuroExplorer #LongCOVID #BrainHealth uzleuven.be/en/news/new-high…

New article released today by our team. We highlight how the lived experience can and should be part of all stages of research and never just tokenism. Patients are the expert in their condition and there is always more to hear and learn from them. link.springer.com/article/10…

Palantir is working with ICE. Palantir is using AI to kill civilians in Gaza. Why the hell are we giving Palantir our NHS information? Palantir need to be banned from UK Government, just like the Swiss banned them from theirs.

How about they look at providing HEPA filtered clean air and ask children and teachers to stay home when sick so they can't spread viruses to other people

BEFORE YOU BOARD YOUR NEXT FLIGHT READ THIS A former airline captain named John Hoyte reached out to me recently. He spent nearly 30 years flying commercial aircraft, developed serious neurological damage, lost his career, and has been trying to get this story properly investigated ever since. He sent me documents spanning two decades. The scale of what is in them is HUGE. What he shared includes parliamentary records, a 320-page published report from the British pilots union, @BBC coverage, House of Lords testimony, and active litigation in multiple countries. This has been heard at the highest levels. It has largely been buried. Most commercial jet aircraft use a system called bleed air. Instead of drawing fresh air from outside, the plane takes compressed air directly from the engines and pumps it into the cabin. That is the air you breathe for the entire flight. When engine seals wear down, oil and hydraulic fluid can leak into that air supply. Those fluids contain organophosphates, the same compounds found in certain pesticides and nerve agents. Inhaling them can cause neurological damage, memory loss, and chronic fatigue. In documented cases, far worse. This design has been in use since the 1950s. The health risk has been documented for just as long. In 2005, @BALPApilots, the British pilots union, published a full conference report on this with the University of New South Wales. The following year, 27 BALPA pilots were tested by University College London. All 27 showed evidence of toxic poisoning and reduced cognitive function. Not some of them. All of them. @BBCPanorama covered it in 2008. The House of Lords Science and Technology Committee heard evidence on it in 2007 and 2008. In February 2007, 40 unrelated passengers on a single XL Airways flight were seriously injured by contaminated cabin air. Their cases went to court. Twenty of them won a US jurisdiction ruling in 2010. A UK coroner recorded a death linked to this in 2015. France has formally recognised aerotoxic syndrome as an occupational disease. In the US, a law professor is suing Boeing for $40 million after a single exposure left him permanently injured. Morgan & Morgan, America's largest personal injury firm, is now actively taking mass cases on behalf of passengers and crew. John himself was one of those 27 pilots tested by UCL. He founded the Aerotoxic Association in 2007 at the Houses of Parliament to support other survivors. He has been fighting for this for nearly 20 years. Almost every commercial jet aircraft except the Boeing 787 Dreamliner uses the bleed air system. The 787 uses a different design that avoids this problem entirely. That safer design has existed for years. That fact alone says everything. BBC has not covered this story since 2020. The UK Civil Aviation Authority continues to say there is no positive evidence of a link. The Aerotoxic Association has been contacted by more than 2,500 people who believe they have been affected. John is looking for mainstream investigative journalists who want to dig deep into this. He is an expert witness with decades of evidence and is willing to answer every question. He has a passenger injured on that 2007 flight, Samantha Sabatino, whose case is in the parliamentary record. This is a genuine story of enormous public interest and it deserves proper investigation. If you are a journalist or researcher and want to speak to John directly, his contact details are in the comments. I will add media coverage links in the comments section. Sources: @AerotoxicAssoc (Aerotoxic Association) @BALPApilots (British Airline Pilots Association) @forthepeople (Morgan & Morgan) gcaqe org (Global Cabin Air Quality Executive) @BBCPanorama covered it in 2008 with a full documentary titled Something in the Air. @heraldtweets @WSJ @FlightGlobal @TheCanaryUK @the_ecologist
