![new research on influenza A shows the virus behaves very differently in the bodies of pregnant and non-pregnant mice.
Study co-author Professor John O’Leary from Trinity College, Dublin, said the findings represent a landmark advance in the understanding of viral infections and pregnancy.
‘The discovery of an influenza-induced “vascular storm” is one of the most significant developments in inflammatory infectious diseases over the last 30 years,’ he said. ‘[It also] has significant implications for other viral infections, including COVID-19.’](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ycxja7acqnay665ub64i2pfp/bafkreibzh6tli5apavgssn7df2qctsal7qffcfcwpttz6hxvhkiaft3gla)

Some governments and their advisors were promoting COVID-proof unicorn kids at exactly the same time as other governments and their advisors were planning to top up everyone’s immunity by using kids as vectors.
And they call the ones that want to stop kids getting infected 🤪.

We were told ‘schools are safe’. ‘Children don’t transmit’. Children were told to wash their hands for a predominantly airborne virus and they removed mitigations from schools. Yet the evidence in the inquiry shows they knew it was airborne.

We achieved a 57% drop in PM2.5-related deaths between 2005 and 2023.
But there is work still left to do.
We need stricter compliance mechanisms, ⬆️ monitoring networks, & a deeper integration of indoor air quality strategies to protect vulnerable populations.

Many doctors tell parents of children with asthma (over 5 years of age) not to wear a #AirPollution mask outdoors or use an air cleaning filter indoors, because the children will not be able to develop immunity. I explain in this video what is going on and why that's not true.

Air pollution from oil and gas causes 90,000 premature US deaths each year, says new study
Study analyzed health impacts of fossil fuels from exploration to end use, and found communities of color bear brunt of harm
Air pollution from oil and gas causes more than 90,000 premature deaths and sickens hundreds of thousands of people across the US each year, a new study shows, with disproportionately high impacts on communities of color.
More than 10,000 annual pre-term births are attributable to fine particulate matter from oil and gas, the authors found, also linking 216,000 annual childhood-onset asthma cases to the sector’s nitrogen dioxide emissions and 1,610 annual lifetime cancer cases to its hazardous air pollutants.

Ghislaine Maxwell's deposition was not under oath. She was not video taped, which is very unusual for a deposition. And there are many cuts where they stopped the audio tapes so lawyers could confer with her off-the-record. None of that stuff is the way you do a deposition.
