return2ozma, to news in Long Covid explanation in new study possibly paves way for tests and treatments, reveals major insights on a potential cause
@return2ozma@lemmy.world avatar

Repeated blood samples turned up important differences in their blood: A group of proteins indicated that a part of the body’s immune system called the complement system remained activated long after it should have returned to normal.

“When you have a viral or bacterial infection, the complement system becomes activated and binds to these viruses and bacteria and then eliminates them,” said Dr. Onur Boyman, a professor of immunology at the University of Zurich in Switzerland and one of the study’s investigators. The system then returns to its resting state, where its regular job is to clear the body of dead cells, he said.

But if the complement system remains in its microbe-fighting state after the viruses and bacteria are eliminated, “it starts damaging healthy cells,” he said.

return2ozma, to asklemmy in So Kissinger must have had use to someone? What did he do right and for who?
@return2ozma@lemmy.world avatar

He made the ruling class a ton of money. Here’s just a few things he did…

Kissinger sabotaged peace talks in Vietnam: He leaked information to Nixon’s campaign in 1968 to prevent a deal between Johnson and Hanoi, prolonging the war for four more years and killing millions of people.

Kissinger orchestrated the coup in Chile: He supported the overthrow of the democratically elected socialist president Salvador Allende in 1973, and backed the brutal dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet, who tortured and killed thousands of dissidents and implemented neoliberal policies that harmed the majority of Chileans.

Kissinger enabled genocide and repression: He ignored or encouraged the atrocities committed by U.S. allies in Bangladesh, East Timor, Indonesia, Pakistan, and elsewhere, and participated in Operation Condor, a campaign of assassinations of left-wing activists across Latin America.

Kissinger expanded U.S. bombing and intervention: He secretly bombed Cambodia and Laos, killing hundreds of thousands of civilians and paving the way for the Khmer Rouge genocide. He also set the precedent for U.S. presidents to bomb countries without congressional or public oversight, as seen in the War on Terror.

Kissinger was celebrated by the U.S. elite: He received praise and awards from presidents, politicians, journalists, and academics, who admired his geopolitical strategy and ignored or justified his crimes. He was also an informal adviser to several administrations, including Bush and Obama

Well I’m not voting for Trump so I guess, by your logic, that means I’m voting for Biden. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

@return2ozma@lemmy.world avatar

Whenever Biden or his team talks about the economy doing great, voters get confused because they’re not doing so great financially. Then Dem defenders tell them “the economy actually IS doing great so suck it up and vote Biden or you’ll get trump.” Not really a win for voter outreach.

Is the Biden campaign doing itself a disservice by mostly running on “but Trump”?

return2ozma, to politicalmemes in Oops!
@return2ozma@lemmy.world avatar

Trump really broke a lot of Dems brains. It’s clearly evident by how much any criticism of the Dems = they must be a Republican. Whatever makes you feel better about why Biden is not doing so well I guess.

Same thing happened with Hilldawg. Blamed anyone and anything but her damn self for giving the world Trump. Then she literally took a hike. Coward didn’t even address her supporters on election night, sent Podesta out to tell everyone to go home. SMH Hillary will forever be known as the arrogant egocentric piece of shit that handed the presidency to Trump. All for her ego. Pied Piper strategy didn’t work out so well. Such hubris.
