Another study showing links between COVID and cancer.

“The findings underscore the importance of understanding the interplay between viral infections and cancer development, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.”

Anthony Jones @hipecsurvivor.bsky.social · 1d

Study: Individuals with SARS-CoV-2 infection had significantly higher risks of developing HPV-related cancers: a 67% increase in cervical cancer, 131% in vaginal cancer, 98% in vulvar cancer, 92% in anal cancer, and 78% in oropharyngeal (throat) cancer.

Dear Reform voters:

If you're proud because you're
- white
- British
- male, or
- straight,

...literally not one of this is your achievement.

So you can stop feeling superior.

It's a real gut punch when you see someone you thought was Covid aware maskless in the wild. This undermines trust. I try to be one person, online and offline

Years ago, scientists warned us that Covid would create an "unfathomable" crisis of longterm illness that included diseases not typically diagnosed as "Long Covid." Now a fight over exploding healthcare costs has shut down the government. These two things are connected.

MAGA MAPLE declared that a youth that asked a question at a public event should be "spanked."
Danielle Smith accused the school board of being "viciously compliant" when they released the list of books the MAGA morons were trying to ban.

The image of kids' classic bedtime story "Goodnight Moon", but with a child handcuffed, its head lowered, and the window broken with graffiti underneath that says "ICE was here". Instead of "Goodnight Moon" the title now reads "Goodnight America".

The lack of care is infuriating. Just heard of a paediatrician virologist that refuses to mask 😷 for 1, 2, 3 month baby check ups for an unvaccinated baby.

Stephen miller is actively calling for a civil war right now on Twitter.

I really do not think Americans are taking in the reality that the federal government is openly admitting to waging war against democratically held cities and states and what comes now that this is being openly said.

Legal insurrection. The President is the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces, not an Oregon judge. Portland and Oregon law enforcement, at the direction of local leaders, have refused to aid ICE officers facing relentless terrorist assault and threats to life. (There are more local law enforcement officers in Oregon than there are guns and badges in the FBI nationwide).
This is an organized terrorist attack on the federal government and its officers, and the deployment of troops is an absolute necessity to defend our personnel, our laws, our government, public order and the Republic itself.

1/ Judge Immergut just granted a restraining order that prevents Trump's mobilization of the Oregon National Guard in Portland.
IMMERGUT, District Judge.
This case involves the intersection of three of the most fundamental principles in our
constitutional democracy. The first concerns the relationship between the federal government
and the states. The second concerns the relationship between the United States armed forces and
domestic law enforcement. The third concerns the proper role of the judicial branch in ensuring
that the executive branch complies with the laws and limitations imposed by the legislative
branch. Whether we choose to follow what the Constitution mandates with respect to these three
relationships goes to the heart of what it means to live under the rule of law in the United States.

Beyond the fact that legal immigrants and tourists can attend the Super Bowl, I find it absolutely hilarious that they're gonna have ICE harassing a bunch of rich people. Tickets are almost $10k.

It was standing room only at today's Living with Long Covid exhibit at the @museumofvan.bsky.social!

I was moved to tears by some of the personal stories on display. Such a great event

Long Covid researcher and activist Kayli Jamison speaks at today's Long Covid launch event at the Museum of Vancouver

Selfie at event wearing a white headstrap zimi mask with purple flowers

One of the stories that resonated - "I was able to venture out for an ice cream cone with a friend this day. I don't feel comfortable eating in restaurants or going to bars like most people my age. Spring and summer are nice beaches they give me more options to spend time outdoors with fewer people around - which means I get to see the people I love more often. Even short moments like this help me feel a little more like a "normal" 24 year old again

Revlimid has its origin in a pill that cost patients $7.50 each.

Decades later, the cancer drug costs more than $18,000 for a month’s supply — even though it still only costs about 25 cents to manufacture.

Read @davidarmstrongx.bsky.social's award-winning investigation:

The Price of Remission: This Cancer Drug Saves Lives — but Costs a Fortune. I Wanted to Know Why.

When I was diagnosed with cancer, I set out to understand why a single pill of Revlimid cost the same as a new iPhone. I’ve covered high drug prices as a reporter for years. What I discovered shocked ...

When people start bringing their pain into the Arts, it increases their visibility, helps them educate, drive empathy and change. I think is absolutely remarkable to see it happening in Vancouver where Public Health has barely and reluctantly admitted that COVID is airborne. TY #longcovid
