"In a world of chaos" Original song by Yvonne Sayers Released exclusively on 𝕏

1. Is a member of the French left-wing party and an activist, one of the biggest advocates for opening up migration to North African peoples. 2. Owns a small chic boutique in an upscale spot, she stood in her shop trying to save it from looting and theft telling them that she's a famous activist. 3. Told them I'm so-and-so, the activist for asylum, I'm with you, I've defended you and your entry and stay in France, they spat on her, knocked her down, and trampled her with their feet, good thing she's still alive. 4. And they looted the whole shop, losing all the struggle and work of her lifetime in a moment. Standing there stunned, not believing that these thieving, rabble-rousing, criminal, barbaric hordes are the ones she's spent her whole life defending, and advocating for them to invade her country and destroy it.

Our new work using virus-specific T cells as biosensors in Long COVID. These data point to viral persistence detected by T cells and some level of T cell exhaustion. Excellent work by @markmpainter biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…

Omg. I just had quite an experience at the CVS pharmacy. An older lady, probably around my mom's age (74) she there to recieve her seasonal shots. As I was standing in the checkout line I heard the pharmacist say this one is your pneumococcal shot, this one is your influenza shot, and this one is your covid shot. After the pharmacist injected the 3rd shot she began having tremors (not seizures) and fell out of her seat, smacked her head on the floor. I get out of line and down on the floor while they were calling EMS. HOLY SHIT. She wasn't breathing, but had a strong pulse around 86. I've always made it a habit to carry a pocket face mask with me, I asked a guy in line to get on the floor and directed him how to hold c spine correctly. I gave rescue breaths until the Paramedics arrived (I know the whole crew) as they are putting the bvm together, I'm still giving rescue breaths. They have her hooked up to the cardiac monitor. Heart rate and 12 lead are unremarkable, , they opted to intubate her before transfering her to the gurney, while another medic started an IV. They left CVS 10-18 (emergency traffic) I just recieved a call that this 6 echo call (not breathing) turned into a 9 echo (full cardiac arrest) I'm praying they get her back🙏🏻

Considering Japan for Vx injury or LC? Update on my journey: I wanted to share an update because quite a bit has changed since I returned from Japan. Unfortunately, my health has continued to decline. Recent immune testing has shown that my immunodeficiency is more significant than we originally understood, including inadequate protective antibody responses to pneumococcal bacteria. My autoimmune markers remain elevated, and more recent testing also shows increasing inflammatory activity. At the same time, the neuropathy has continued to worsen. The burning pain and numbness are spreading, and my headaches have become significantly worse. Because of the headaches and my existing cervical instability and vascular issues, further vascular imaging of my neck and brain may be needed to evaluate for additional compression. This week I am traveling back to Utah, where much of my specialty medical team is located, for my first two IVIG (intravenous immunoglobulin, made from pooled donor plasma) infusions on back-to-back days. These treatments will be given in an infusion center. My physicians hope IVIG may help address the antibody deficiency and potentially some of the immune-mediated inflammation and neuropathy as well. I have also connected with members of the React19 community who have experienced substantial improvement with IVIG. Their experiences give me some hope while also reminding me that everyone responds differently. Travel adds another layer of expense—gas, food, medical costs and the trip itself—but thankfully I will be able to stay with family, so lodging is covered. Another big change has been accepting that I need a motorized wheelchair. I fought that reality for a long time. I can no longer make the short distance to our mailbox or walk through a grocery store. Buying the chair felt like admitting something I wasn't ready to admit. But it has also given something back to me. Special thanks to Kelsey for helping me see this and allow me to test drive your wheel;) I can be outside with Brew, Greg and Kai. I was able to accompany Kai on his first day of school. Those moments matter more than I can explain. The chair represents loss, but it has also allowed me to participate in pieces of my family's life again. I also want to give a very honest and objective update about the treatment I underwent in Japan, particularly for people who may currently be considering going. Before I left, Dr. Jordan Vaughn, my naturopath Dr. Costa, and my immunologist Dr. Jones intentionally ordered extensive laboratory testing so that we would have objective data to compare before and after treatment. Relevant testing was performed before Japan on March 18 and July 15, 2026. Post-treatment testing was performed after my return on August 25, with additional redraws on September 10 when several specimens—including MMP-9—could not be adequately processed from the earlier draws. One of my goals in going to Japan was not only to get better, but to determine whether the treatment produced measurable changes that might help validate the program and potentially help other people with Long COVID. So far, the opposite of what I hoped to document has occurred. My post-treatment testing has not shown the objective improvement I hoped to see. Instead, several inflammatory markers we were following before treatment have increased, and several cytokines that had previously been below the laboratory cutoff are now elevated. For example, comparing the most recent valid pre-treatment values from July with my September 10 post-treatment testing: • IL-12 increased from 4.7 to 9.9 pg/mL. • IL-5 increased from <2.1 to 3.3 pg/mL and is now elevated. • IL-17 increased from <1.4 to 1.7 pg/mL and is now elevated. • TNF-alpha increased from 6.0 to 16.0 pg/mL and is now elevated. • TGF-β1 increased from 12,367 to 33,676 pg/mL and is now above the laboratory reference range. • MMP-9, which was already elevated at 1,283 ng/mL before Japan, increased further to 1,519 ng/mL. Some of the planned July 15 and August 25 specimens were insufficient for certain tests, which is why the September 10 redraws were necessary. For those markers, I am comparing the September results with the most recent valid pre-Japan measurements rather than pretending we have data points that we do not. These are not simply changes in how I feel. They are measurable laboratory findings that my medical team and I intentionally tracked before and after treatment. At the same time, clinically, my neuropathy, burning pain, numbness, headaches and overall function have continued to decline. I want to be equally clear about what these results do NOT prove. They do not establish that the treatments in Japan caused these changes. Long COVID is complicated, laboratory values can fluctuate, and there are many potential variables. What I can say is that my own objective pre- and post-treatment data have not demonstrated the improvement I went to Japan hoping to document. In several areas, the measurable trend has instead moved in the opposite direction. The treatment itself was also not without significant risk. My central-line placement resulted in a pneumothorax requiring hospitalization and a chest tube. Since August, I have personally spoken with several patients who initially experienced improvement after treatment and later experienced relapsing symptoms, in some cases within only a few months of completing treatment. This is information I wish I had understood more clearly before making my decision. Knowing what I know now—including my clinical course, the complication I experienced, the pre- and post-treatment laboratory findings, and what I have since learned from other patients—I would NOT make the same decision to go. I feel a responsibility to say that clearly for anyone currently considering this experiment. I believe patients deserve to understand not only the possibility of improvement, but also the procedural risks, the uncertainty surrounding durability of response, and the possibility that symptoms may return even after an initial improvement. I went to Japan hoping not only to improve my own health, but also to gather information that might help other people suffering from Long COVID. I genuinely hoped my pre- and post-treatment testing would help validate the program. Being transparent when the results do not support what I hoped to find is part of that responsibility too. Meanwhile, Greg is still unemployed following the layoffs that affected him and his team. He is looking for work every day—networking, contacting leads, applying, and doing everything he can to find the right opportunity. It has made an already difficult financial situation even harder. I know these are difficult economic times for so many people. I never take a donation, share, message, prayer, or offer of help for granted. We are deeply grateful. I certainly don't want anyone to suffer hardship because of me. If anyone has unused airline miles or travel points and would be willing to use them toward one of my medical trips, that could also be tremendously helpful as travel to specialists continues. For anyone who prefers Venmo: @april-amber-theisen Go Fund Me: gofundme.com/f/help-april-ac… gofund.me/b7f2c2cb6 Thank you for continuing to stand beside our family. I am still searching for answers, still following the data—even when it isn't the answer I hoped for—and still hoping that some combination of science, persistence and time will give me more of my life back. @TheRebelPatient @DrMaryBowden @Burning_mama47 @kelseyshields08 @evanfgeorge @EdogawaPatients @KenCaptn20114

Stay out. Assessment denied. Maura Healey just told the whole state of Massachusetts where I live that when you have a baby, “you’re going to have a home visit” so a government-appointed healthcare provider can “make an assessment.” Not “we’re offering a free nurse if you want one.” You’re going to have one. That’s the tell. They can stamp “voluntary” on the Welcome Family flyer all day. The governor’s own mouth said the quiet part: everybody, home visit, assessment. Official pages even list “ensuring that your home is safe” as part of the visit. That’s not a lactation consult. That’s a state employee walking through your kitchen, looking at your setup, asking how you’re sleeping, whether you’re depressed, and whether your house meets their standard- then calling back two or three weeks later to check that you used the “resources.” Massachusetts will fund the killing of a baby right up until birth and then, 24 hours later, send a nurse to inspect the ones that made it. Make that make sense. They don’t trust you to raise your own child without a government clipboard in your living room. This is not “support.” This is an invitation that will age into expectation, then data collection, then a paper trail that can be used against you. Once a state worker is inside your house “assessing” you, the next step is always easier. DCF doesn’t need a warrant if you already let them in. Do not comply. Do not open the door. Do not let them “assess” your home, your mental state, or your parenting. A free nurse is still a state agent. Offer or not, the answer is no. Your house is not a wellness checkpoint. Your baby is not a state project. Stay the hell out of our homes.

A surgeon-scientist just said something most outlets won’t touch: Spike protein isn’t clearing out after infection. It’s staying. Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong laid out three peer-reviewed papers showing: 1️⃣ Spike protein persists in colon, brain, and salivary tissue for up to 2 years 2️⃣ It drives chronic inflammation + T-cell suppression 3️⃣ New Cell paper: neutrophil activation → higher lung cancer risk This isn’t fear-mongering. It’s mechanism. We’re no longer debating if long COVID exists, we’re uncovering why. And the “why” points to persistent viral proteins rewiring immune surveillance.

Yes, E batches are especially bad, see here: scribd.com/document/65054321… You can also look up a specific batch number, if it isn't already in the list above: knollfrank.github.io/HowBadI…

🔴 A new study in Nature may change the way we think about viral reactivation during severe COVID-19—and its possible relationship to Long COVID. One sentence from the authors is particularly important: “Our findings challenge the prevailing view that chronic viral reactivation is primarily a consequence of immunosuppression.” Why? Because they found frequent viral reactivations in immunocompetent patients during severe illness, associated with increased systemic inflammation. This is something we have been arguing for a long time: An immune system can be hyperactivated and, at the same time, progressively lose effective control of persistent viruses. (1/19) 🧵
