I just noticed that a few Democrats who still push masks are also involved in recreational drug use. Now it all makes sense, on several different levels

I got 3 hrs of sleep last night and used the wrong lysis buffer for the RNA extraction kits I’m testing so I might have to do it a third time ughhhh

Add that to the buttock crushing (these are all actual VAERS reports).

I’ve literally never had any side effects from a covid or flu vaccine other than a sore arm (except for I think it was covid dose 2 which gave me some malaise for the first day only) so for me it’s definitely a no-brainer

Clean air for the rich! Do they have OCD? Of course not, only middle class and lower class people who are airborne aware have OCD if they are still masking and using hepa filters to clean the air! When the rich do it, it’s something different. For them, their mitigations during

Covid conscious twt, what do we think of this paper? Agree that previous methodology has likely overestimated the rates but find it hard to believe the authors found that symptoms beyond one year could not be attributed to Covid. pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1073/pna…

In case you're not aware: "acute" covid is the initial stage, the bit that might feel "like a cold". Long-covid is not simply more aches and sniffles. The damage Covid does can manifest later as hearing loss, a heart attack, kidney failure, brain damage, lung damage and much more
To be clear, Covid has an acute & a chronic phase. For many, the acute phase can now be relatively ‘mild’, but the chronic phase can continue to inflict all manner of evil on one’s body. Career destroying complications can appear months post-infection, including asymptomatic ones

“I just didn’t want to accept my career was ending so soon because of COVID, because of a virus so out of my control… eventually I got to a point where… 15 months in, I’m still housebound, still mostly bedbound, unable to do most basic things” #LongCovid thesicktimes.org/2026/04/28/…

My supervisor doesn’t mind that I didn’t make our meeting. Probably because he knows I’m exhausted because I got home at midnight 🫩

Sorry if what I say doesn’t make sense. My flight got in laaaaate last night

Sad that I never got a reply to this. Literally my area of study. A local interferon response would cause cold-like symptoms in the nose, but I presume the dsRNA would also be destroyed pretty quick. Not that there’s any evidence it would be there in the first place.
Replying to @Kevin_McKernan
I mean I’m gonna say I doubt it because as far as I’m aware there’s no evidence of dsRNA from vaccines being in the nasal passages

Just saying... for those who work in healthcare, the PCR machines that magically appeared in all doctors' offices and urgent cares almost overnight look oddly similar to the Theranos device, cartridge, and all.
