Today I asked myself, what is it that i want? (Instead of dont want, like I don't want #covid or #longCOVID or worsened health or more meds). I WANT everyone to wear an n95 mask and us all to knock out covid and other similar contagious diseases. I WANT straightforward public health messaging that acknowledges airborne spread and long covid facts, and believes in the goodness and intelligence of human beings. And I want human beings to live up to those expectations.

https://www.dailymail.com/sciencetech/article-15818181/scientists-warn-virus-lab-leaks.html

"...three unusual features in Covid's genetic code: a mutation called the furin cleavage site that made the virus highly infectious, strange genetic 'cutting patterns' often associated with lab research and a short sequence she claimed matched material found in a 2016 Moderna patent involving the human gene MSH3."

#SarsCoV2 Opnieuw valt het de media op dat het aantal gevallen van burn-out bij met name jonge vrouwen is verdubbeld sinds 2020. Er wordt gesproken over stress door werk en kinderen, maar niemand lijkt nog te denken aan #LongCovid.

Hammer:
An der Charité Berlin wird ein Test zur "Objektivierung" (messbarer Nachweis) der PEM entwickelt.
Aktueller Stand: frei zugänglich.

Und gemessen wird nicht mit irgendeiner Goldrandlösung, sondern einem Plastik-Gerät vom Online-Marktplatz eures Vertrauens!
Sowas gibt's ab 20€. 🤯

*We measured the HGS with a digital hand dynamometer (CAMRY, model: SCACAM-EH101) in two separate sessions with a recovery break of 60 min between the sessions.*
