The global ‘freedom movement’ is a carnival of crank and conspiracy – and very dangerous | Van Badham | The Guardian

“Freedom” protests similar in form and simultaneously nebulous in broadly anti-vax/anti-mandate political goals have materialised in BritainFrance and New Zealand. A convoy claiming to originate from across Europe is making its way towards Brussels. An ongoing gathering that locals alternately describe as “Spring Break for QAnon” or “Camp Covid” is encamped outside Australian Parliament House in Canberra.

Across these countries, protestors appear as a wild herd of “sovcit”, anti-vaxxer, QAnonner and more nefarious fellow travellers, alongside some more ordinary people. Sometimes it’s hard to tell whether social media content about these events has been gathered by extremism monitors, or comedians.

Participants unwilling to be injected with a free vaccine safely used on hundreds of millions of people further advise each other that drinking one’s own wee is curative and somehow “camel urine deals with cancer”. Monitors observe attendees costumed as paramedics, pilots and deceased Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi. Someone really wears a tinfoil hat.

” Não aceites o habitual como coisa natural, pois em tempo de desordem sangrenta, de confusão organizada, de arbitrariedade consciente, de humanidade desumanização, nada deve parecer natural, nada deve parecer natural, nada deve parecer impossível de mudar.

The Viral Connection

CRAIN'S COMMENTS

Question: For what disease can a patient be treated, appear to fully recover, and then die months or years later?

Answer: Which one?

  • The Ebola virus causes massive internal bleeding, organ failure and death. While there is treatment for it, patients can appear to recover while the virus hides in the brain. Eventually, the virus emerges from its lair, causes a relapse and triggers serious illness or death.(1) Apart from one bestselling book, this virus lives in an area of Africa about which most Americans are oblivious.
  • The Epstein-Barr virus causes the “kissing disease,” mononucleosis. Some high school students and a large number of college students get it, and the typical treatment is to let it “run its course.” However, now we’re learning that it can be a trigger for onset of multiple sclerosis.(2,3)
  • Chickenpox is caused by the varicella-zoster virus. After the initial symptoms pass, the virus can…

The Mosquito Population In The San Gabriel Valley Is Up (Gulp) 500% | LAist

Back in 2010 a new invasive mosquito series made its way to Southern California. Called the Aedes mosquito, it first showed up in El Monte in 2010. By 2018, it was prevalent enough that my colleague Emily Guerin investigated. She reported:

… it’s been spreading all throughout Southern California. And it’s way more vicious than our native mosquito, the Culex.

Unlike the Culex, Aedes mosquitoes bite during the day. And they go for the legs and ankles, instead of buzzing around your ears, so you can’t hear them coming.

And they need much less water to breed.

That’s one key difference between the invasive Aedes and native Culex mosquitoes. Culex prefer to lay their eggs in big sources of water, like swimming pools, but the Aedes mosquitoes hardly need any water at all. Both mosquitoes, however, can carry diseases: Culex has successfully transmitted West Nile to six people in L.A. County already this year, while Aedes can transmit Zika virus and dengue fever, although that hasn’t happened yet.

Violência Contra a Mulher

Violence Against Women

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Vocês sabem o que mais causa morte de mulheres no nosso país? O inconformismo. Sim! O inconformismo a liberdade de expressão, a locomoção e a escolha dessa mulher.
O Brasil tem uma estatística vergonhosa em relação ao feminicídio, por exemplo. Mulheres que morrem pela condição do gênero feminino. Essas vítimas, elas têm uma relação de afeto com o seu agressor ou ” futuro assassino “. É triste dizer isso, mas é assim que acontece.
Não falar, não dá voz a mulher que é vítima de violência, é sim, uma forma de querer abafar, calar-nos diante de nossos direitos. É preciso falar, é portanto, denunciar!

Mulheres falem!…
