"But Augie, if repeated #COVID19 infections were harming brains, wouldn't we see evidence of that?" Thanks for asking. Yes, we would. Diminished cognition, memory impairment, attention deficits, and damage to executive functions would lead to multiple growing problems, such as:

Driving is getting worse, with half saying people in their area are driving more dangerously than before #COVID19, while only 9% say people are driving more safely. Also, road rage is more common and deadlier since COVID: https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/11/20/what-the-data-says-about-dangerous-driving-and-road-rage-in-the-us/

many deaths at Auschwitz-Birkenau* were caused by MEDICAL NEGLECT. fascist scientific ideology is based on #eugenics. nazi doctors would create pandemics by letting infections of tuberculosis, dysentery, malaria, “take their course” across the camps:

The United States already have concentration camps. some are called #prisons:

About half of people who died of cancer in Japan in 2021 are seen to have consulted with doctors about where they wanted to spend the end of their lives, the National Cancer Center has said. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/07/03/japan/science-health/japan-cancer-place-of-death-wishes-survey/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #sciencehealth #cancer #surveys #health#covid19

Here's the latest variant picture with a global scope, to early June.

The LP.8.1., NB.1.8.1 "Nimbus" and XFG. "Stratus" variants are battling for dominance in an unclear picture.

XFG.* "Stratus" seemed to have the best underlying momentum, until recently when samples from the US became less dominant.

All hypotheses on how the COVID-19 pandemic began remain open, the World Health Organization said Friday, following an inconclusive four-year investigation. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/06/28/world/science-health/who-covid-origins-report/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #sciencehealth #who #diseases #health#covid19

I'll continue to share data to keep people informed about #COVID19, but the COVID-cautious community is getting exhausting. Someone attacked others for "abandoning caution." I'm sorry, but adjusting behaviors based on risks is the smart thing to do. We all have different social and psychological needs, and tightening or loosening caution is what we should be doing versus demanding an all or nothing COVID care.

Let me ask you this: Do you never drive because accidents can occur? (1/2)

Lots to learn about nasal Covid vax in my latest nextgen vax update @PLOS:

- 1st trial results for intranasal Covid DNA vax, with some signs it can reduce infection;

- Researchers in Japan developed over 200 monoclonal antibodies from nasally-vaxed mice to study immunity's molecular processes;

- UK authorization for nextgen mRNA vax being sought soon;

- US takes bizarre funding turn;

- 7th pancoronavirus vax going into clinical trial & more
