Ten things they'll be telling us about meningitis before the end of the week:

🧵Hepatitis in children scandal UKHSA, RCPCH, Clinical lead for covid in children, all tried to aggressively shut down debate and research into the possibility covid was responsible blaming adenovirus and "immunity debt" and engaging in unprofessional personal insults

RFK Jr: "Today, over 100 members of Congress support a bill to fund Ozempic with Medicare... Most of these members have taken money from the manufacturer of that product, a European company called Novo Nordisk." "There is a push to recommend Ozempic for Americans as young as six over a condition—obesity—that is completely preventable, and barely even existed 100 years ago." "Since 74% of Americans are obese, the cost of all of them—if they take their Ozempic prescriptions—will be $3 trillion a year." "This is a drug that has made Novo Nordisk the biggest company in Europe. It's a Danish company, but the Danish government does not recommend it. It recommends a change in diet to treat obesity, and exercise." "For half the price of Ozempic, we could purchase... organic food for every American—three meals a day—and a gym membership for every obese American." "For 19 years, solving the childhood chronic disease crisis has been the central goal of my life. And for 19 years, I have prayed to God every morning to put me in a position to end this calamity." "I believe we have the opportunity... to transform American health... and, I believe, to save our spirits and our country."

It never occurred to me that this was a thing. Jeeze, maybe we all should just take prophylaxis because after all, the people we live and work with all have bacteria on and in them. A lot of bacteria in fact. Man, come to think of it, I wants me some linezolid and levoflox!

Oh my gosh, watch the whole thing. This is how you should talk to mainstream journalists.

A key takeaway from @adamcifu ‘s latest reflections on obesity in @Sensible__Med “Physicians, researchers, parents, and humans should be able to hold two contradictory thoughts.” open.substack.com/pub/sensib…

1/ABOUT 30. IMHO the UK now faces a crisis that is, in some ways, even greater than the one we faced when confronting Hitler. In WW2 at least we had politicians of integrity, who upheld our democratic values, and around whom the nation could unite. There was no enemy within.

I think the problem people have is how largely unevidenced the whole approach is. There is essentially no evidence any watches pass on hospital acquired infections, let alone apple watches which are waterproof, easy to wipe clean and disinfect when washing hands.

“Risk of reinfection with the #Omicron variant is 5.4 times greater than that of the #Delta variant. This implies that the protection against reinfection by Omicron afforded by past #covid infection may be as low as 19%” imperial.ac.uk/news/232698/o…
