    That is a great thread. The Florida study is pure crap. She wrecks the hell out of it. What an illigimate study.

    Twitter is a private company. They can do what they want.

    That being said, I absolutely agree with twitter removing such a dangerous tweet.

    The study the Fl surgeon general is using:

    Strangely has NO author
    Is not published in any medical journal
    Is not peer reviewed
    Is based on a tiny sampling of 20 people
    Had no proper control group
    Doesn't take prior COVID infection in to consideration
    Doesn't take the underlying cause of Death into consideration
    Doesn't release it's raw numbers
    Has no verifiable sources


    However, we do have tons of evidence, trials and proper studies that say the exact opposite of what the idiots in Florida are saying.

    So I have no specific opinion on that Florida paper. Would have to spend more time. But it is ridiculous that Twitter censors one side of the discussion on it. Fair for people to pick it apart - but then also let people represent the opposite viewpoint.

    Do you believe all that nonsense? Who is that idiot? Why should I care about any of those posts?

    What specifically do you disagree with, and on what basis? I will be happy to have a polite and evidence-based discussion about it with you. Difficult to engage with a blanket statement like that.

    Who is the guy in the string of posts? It’s difficult to respond when I don’t know who he is and why I should care about anything he posts, ATW.

    96% accurate biomarker for long covid. This hopefully will lead to better diagnosis of long covid. We need this - today there is no reliable diagnostic tool to detect for long covid, leading some, even those in the medical community to believe it's mental and not real.

    Elevated vascular transformation blood biomarkers in Long-COVID indicate angiogenesis as a key pathophysiological mechanism | Molecular Medicine | Full Text (biomedcentral.com)
    Published 10 October 2022

    Conclusions
    Long-COVID patients suffer prolonged, diffuse symptoms and poorer health. Vascular transformation blood biomarkers were significantly elevated in Long-COVID, with angiogenesis markers (ANG-1/P-SEL) providing classification accuracy of 96%. Vascular transformation blood biomarkers hold potential for diagnostics, and modulators of angiogenesis may have therapeutic efficacy.

    Yes, it would be good to be able to diagnose this more accurately, also to identify all the people who simulate it.

    To be fair, it wasn't Pfizer who instituted vaccine mandates and all that crap. This came from bad politicians, not only from the left.

    This is stupid. Anyone who actually read the data from the clinical trials (ie not anti-vaxxers) knows the trials tested for safety and efficacy. It literally says in the limitations that it didn't test for transmission.

    They were literally 95% effective in keeping you from getting the original variant. If you don't get the virus, you aren't going to transmit it. No vaccines are "tested" for transmission. Thats not how vaccines work. They are tested for how well they keep you from getting the virus, going to the hospital and dying and for safety.
