NEW: Why did Nigel Farage throw the 2019 ‘Brexit’ election for Boris Johnson? What does it have to do with Harborne’s £5m gift? And why is it tearing apart Britain’s far-right parties?

People who’ve been disabled and bereaved by COVID are saying, from lived experience and settled knowledge
Tony, Nicky and Michelle’s deaths happened in a public health crisis that has killed millions of people
with pneumonia, heart disease & diabetes as leading causes 10/ 🧵

Even when autopsies are performed they don’t look at microvascular COVID damage.
They also didn’t look for HIV damage until activists raised awareness.
Many people raising awareness about COVID are AIDS crisis survivors. COVID damages the immune system. This is from Yale. 8/🧵

Cause of death looks at immediate mechanisms not long-term causes.
Ask anyone who lived through the HIV/AIDS crisis.
It took years for the CDC to determine that the HIV virus caused AIDS
and even then, 54% of AIDS deaths were still recorded as other causes like pneumonia. 7/🧵

In 2020, premature deaths increased significantly.
And they’ve kept going up.
The Lancet, the leading medical journal, studied the UK population and found something startling.
Deaths from organ damage, like diabetes, heart disease and pneumonia had gone up significantly 5/🧵

Turns out Long COVID, pediatric strokes, pneumonia & lots of other problems happen because COVID isn’t a respiratory disease, like the flu.
It’s a vascular disease. Like SARS 1 in 2003, hantavirus, dengue and Marburg.
The mechanism is organ damage via blood vessel injury. 4/🧵

On this day in 1954, the US backed a coup against Jacobo Árbenz, the progressive, democratically elected leader of Guatemala, because he sought to restore land to small farmers and Indigenous communities that had been dispossessed by US fruit companies.

The results of 2 large randomized clinical trials and 2 Electronic Health Record studies are consistent: a two week course of Metformin started within 5 days of acute #COVID infection, reduces the risk of developing #LongCOVID by about 50%.

New study shows how SARS2 ORF8 protein hijacks your lungs immune cells to spread the virus more efficiently and trigger long-term inflammation. This isn’t just acute illness - the mechanism drives chronicity directly🧵
Jun 12
A hidden viral protein may be one of the key drivers of severe COVID-19 lung damage.
➡️ Researchers found that #ORF8, an accessory protein secreted by SARS-CoV-2, can “reprogram” lung macrophages, making them more susceptible to infection and triggering pyroptosis—a highly inflammatory form of cell death. 1/

So what Gabbard did was to misrepresent classified documents to defraud the public for the benefit of a hostile foreign power that is helping kill U.S. troops and Ukrainian children.
Jun 13
Tulsi Gabbard’s office is rebranding publicly available documents as “declassified evidence” to support a bioweapons narrative that the slides explicitly don’t support. They were already public, ODNI just re-stamped them as “declassified.” They’re NOT evidence of bioweapons either.
These are the SAME as the 2022 Pentagon documents and the slides are literally excerpts from the 2022 DTRA fact sheet, released publicly by the Pentagon in March 2022, 19 months before Gabbard called them “declassified.”

Doug Ford showing off his dirt island to the world
It’s sad seeing the aerial shots of BMO Field and a destroyed green space (Ontario Place) in the background.
I wish nothing but the worst for Ford.

#DougFordIsCorrupt tried to hide it behind tall fences but #FIFA aerial shots reveal extent of destruction of #OntarioPlace.
No wonder he won't release cellphone records.
Now we're on hook for $200M in tax $ to pay for a garage.
#FordFailedOntario& what he couldn't fail,he sold.
