Strong support for mitochondrial theory of fatigue and brain fog in Long COVID:

"At the cellular level, we saw that the mitochondria of the muscle, also known as the energy factories of the cell, function less well and that they produce less energy," says Rob Wüst, Assistant Professor at Department of Human Movement Sciences at the VU University. "So, the cause of the fatigue is really biological. The brain needs energy to think. Muscles need energy to move."

Let’s be clear. Palestinian journalists said this since Day 1 and those who believed them were ridiculed or called antisemitic.

Now the NYT confirms “Israel claims it protects civilians, but a NYT investigation found at least 200 times Israel dropped its most destructive bombs in areas it designated as safe for civilians in Gaza.”

That’s no accident—it’s policy. Where is the accountability? #CeasefireNOW

In 2016, Cambridge Analytica sold voter information and public sentiment analysis to the Russians.

That allowed the GOP to microtarget those areas with disinformation.

Troll farms run by the Russian Internet Agency inundated users with lies & suppressed turnout.

It enabled Trump to win the electoral college by 70,000 votes in 3 swing states.

That's all it took for 167 million American women to lose their civil rights.

70,000 votes flipped using Facebook data

From March 2022:

https://thebaffler.com/salvos/airborne-toxic-events-ehrenreich

> Aerosol transmission was never merely a medical question.

> Accepting it, as Dr. John Conly, an infectious disease specialist advising the WHO on its Covid guidelines, told Reuters that first summer, “would affect our entire way of life.”

> Government, Chapin allowed, should still provide clean water and regulate hygiene in dairies and slaughterhouses. The most important task of the public health profession, however, was controlling outbreaks of communicable disease through laboratory work and data collection. Otherwise, responsibility for disease prevention must be left to individuals. “It was a common saying of sanitarians of years ago that for every death from typhoid fever someone ought to be hung,” whether it be “the city councilman, the health officer, or the landlord,” Chapin wrote. “It is more in accord with present day knowledge and modern conditions to say that if a man has typhoid fever it is his own just punishment for sanitary sins.”

“ 'We can say now that people are dying from climate change, and that’s a different kind of statement than we would have made before,' said Kristie L. Ebi, a professor in the Center for Health and the Global Environment at the University of Washington who co-authored the 2022 Lancet Countdown report. 'Climate change is not a distant threat to health, it’s a current threat to health.' ”

Here we go again.

Another year, another school portable with shit #ventilation and an underperforming HEPA barely enough for two people.

At its lowest CO2 the classroom had been unoccupied for 40 min.

How is this a good learning environment?
