Sakarīgs kundziņš. Te rakstītais ir mans privāts viedoklis. Savām domām parasti piekrītu.

Nepatika pret imigrāciju NAV rasisms, lai cik skaļi radikāli kreisie mēģinātu uzspiest šo melīgo etiķeti. Iestāšanās par savas valsts drošību, likuma varu un kultūras saglabāšanu ir dabisks nācijas pašsaglabāšanās instinkts, nevis naids. Šīs pozīcijas pamatā ir racionāls piesardzības princips un nevēlēšanās importēt viduslaiku tiesisko apziņu. Rietumeiropas posts skaidri rāda - viss sākas ar vienu, līdz kritiskās masas sasniegšanai un sabiedrības sabrukšanai ir tikai laika jautājums. Stingras robežas un atteikums pielāgoties svešām kultūrām ir loģiska pašaizsardzība, nevis aizspriedums.

“Being wrong is part of being a scientist. We’re wrong all the time. One of the jokes that I use all the time, but it’s not a joke, it’s really true, is when we got to the point of trying to identify this gene, we had 20 possible genes it could be. I prioritised those genes. The gene that was responsible was the last gene, which means I could not have been more wrong in my prioritisation. It’s absolutely the most wrong thing I could have done. We got it eventually, so it was still there, but it was because there was nothing left. It’s not because I was smart or had any foresight.” In our official interview with medicine laureate Fred Ramsdell, he told us about the importance of handling failures and being persistent.

Germany, US and few others opposed Ukraine having long-range weapons because they feared attacks on Moscow. Ukraine developed these capabilities itself and is now striking Moscow daily with devastating success. Did World War III begin? No. Its time to force Putin to retreat.

I rise again to state that UKR should be equipped with F-15E Strike Eagles.
🇺🇦Unfortunately, we have losses — in the Khmelnytskyi region, a Ukrainian Su-24 front-line bomber has crashed. According to available information, both pilots were killed. 
This is a painful loss for Ukraine’s Air Force. The Su-24 is an important platform for launching strikes deep into Russian-occupied territory. The death of two experienced pilots further highlights the high price Ukrainian aviators continue to pay in this war.

Cultural factors, especially ideology, are stronger predictors of entry into fatherhood than class, report @BradWilcoxIFS and @grantjbailey. The 25% gap in fatherhood between liberal and conservative men dwarfs the 12-point gap between college-educated and less-educated men.

Long term cardiometabolic outcomes in COVID positive patients 🚨New diabetes, New hypertension, Long after COVID. →The reality, a major cardiometabolic fallout thanks to SarsCoV2! 😡We warned you! ➡️This South African narrative review examines cardiometabolic disorders (CMD), especially new-onset diabetes mellitus (DM) and hypertension (HTN), emerging more than three months after acute COVID-19, #L0ngC0vid ➡️Background: - South Africa recorded ~4.5 million COVID-19 cases and 103,000 deaths, - CMD are major comorbidities linked to severe disease and death, - Long COVID affects 35% of outpatients to 87% of hospitalised patients, ➡️Findings: - A meta-analysis of 20 cohorts (~60 million patients) found a 46% increased risk of diabetes (HR 1.45; 95% CI 1.38–1.55, p<0.001), - Hypertension showed a stronger association (HR 1.70), - Among 906,849 hospitalised patients, 25.5% had hypertension and 20.5% had diabetes, ➡️Severity Differences: - The review notes the spectrum from asymptomatic/mild to severe multi-organ failure, - Pre-existing CMD increased risk of severe COVID-19, - Heterogeneity across studies partly reflects differences in disease severity, - One study linked greater initial severity to higher risk of kidney complications, while another found similar rates of persistent symptoms (~18%) between severe and non-severe hospitalised patients, ➡️Vaccination: - Vaccination is discussed briefly, - Multiple doses of Pfizer-BioNTech mRNA vaccine were linked to lower long COVID rates (p<0.001), - It offered partial protection against long-term effects, - A large Norwegian study found only 0.09% of vaccinated individuals developed cardiometabolic symptoms 90–365 days post-infection, - Myocarditis/pericarditis risks were noted (especially in young males), though vaccination was associated with reduced overall cardiovascular complications, ➡️Reinfection: - No reinfection discussion, ➡️Implications: - Highlights significant patient burden and calls for greater awareness, long-term monitoring, and integrated care, - SarsCoV2= CV risk factor, ‼️So, COVID-19 has left a hidden, expanding epidemic of new diabetes and hypertension in its wake, condemning millions of survivors to lifelong cardiometabolic disease and threatening to cripple already strained healthcare systems if the warning signs continue to be ignored! At a time when attention for COVID-19 is waning, this review serves as a timely reminder that the pandemic(+effects) is far from over and that prevention, proactive monitoring, integrated care for cardiometabolic health in COVID survivors, remain essential. Btw: overview fig is worth your attention too! #AvoidSars2 #AvoidReinfections #SarsCardioVascularRisk #Diabetes #Hypertension journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.…

Bijusī kultūras ministre un Progresīvo līdzpriekšsēdētāja Agnese Lāce piešķīrusi teju 100 000 eiro savai bijušajai biedrībai Gribu palīdzēt bēgļiem komiksu krievu valodā izdošanai – tas izskanējis publiskajā telpā. Vēlos norādīt, ka patiesībā Agneses Lāces ministrijas vadīšanas laikā nauda komiksu, tajā skaitā arī krievu valodā izdošanai piešķirta citai biedrībai. Savukārt Gribu palīdzēt bēgļiem, kurā Agnese Lāce vēl nesen bija valdes locekle, saņēmusi 99 954 eiro citām ar trešo valstu pilsoņu integrāciju saistītām aktivitātēm, kuras arī ietver maģisko starpniekvalodu. Kura visbiežāk izrādās krievu valoda. Cita starpā Gribu palīdzēt bēgļiem darbiniece Ieva Raubiško ar pirmās instances tiesas spriedumu ir notiesāta par robežas nelikumīgas šķērsošanas atbalstīšanu. Tas, manā ieskatā, ir briesmīgs noziegums. Fakts, ka nauda piešķirta biedrībai, kurā Agnese Lāce pirms kļūšanas par ministri bija valdes locekle, vismaz man rada daudz jautājumu.

Magyar's update on this moscow morning Triptych 17, 16, 18… nice and tight – all the ingredients for a revenge borshch. Moscow will go down. Just not on a beach in Crimea. The Kremlin understands it too – there are fewer and fewer untouchable or unreachable zones. The Freedom-Loving Ukrainian Bird’s recipe for revenge borshch: fierce but pragmatic screening and destruction of the enemy’s fuel, energy, and defense-industrial infrastructure as the source of funding and sustainment for the war against Ukraine, suppression of air defenses, and disposal of enemy manpower. And yes, judging by history, there should be enough time before September 14–18: 1812 vs. 2026 – when Moscow burned, and when power will once again be reaffirmed through elections. WITH UKRAINE HOLDING THE ABSOLUTE MORAL HIGH GROUND OVER THE BARBARIANS. Pilots of the 1st Separate Center, USF, the 9th Battalion “Kairos” of the 414th USF Brigade “Magyar’s Birds”, the 413th USF Regiment “Raid”, and the 412th USF Brigade “Nemesis”, together with SOF, the SSU, and the DIU, carried out a third massive strike against the Moscow Oil Refinery within the past 30 days. The conveyor belt of retribution keeps running. Follow USF results live: USF Online Dashboard “PIDRAKHUYKA” sbs-group.army/ MAGYAR🇺🇦 18.06.26

🚨New study! Reinfection with SARS-CoV-2 raised the odds of long COVID by nearly 10x (OR 9.7) in children aged 8+ , even in primary care, not just hospitalized kids. ➡️Study of 349 Mexican children (all unvaccinated at the time). ➡️Long COVID → 11.8%. ➡️Reinfections were rare (only 2.6%) but devastating when they happened( rare in 2022!). ➡️Clear study limitations, yes, but still…. ‼️So, this study delivers a clear warning: even (infrequent) reinfection with SARSCoV2 can multiply the odds of long COVID nearly tenfold in children over 8 years old. With roughly 1 in 8 previously infected children already affected, allowing repeated exposures is not a neutral choice, it is actively contributing to a growing burden of chronic paediatric illness. PREVENTING reinfection must be treated as a core public-health priority to protect children from potentially lifelong consequences. #Vaccination #LongCOVID #AvoidSars2 #COVIDKids #AvoidReinfections frontiersin.org/journals/ped…

The comments under vaccine studies are a case study in modern misinformation. A scientific study shows a ~40% reduction in major cardiovascular events in >1 MILLION participants, and people still respond as if evidence is optional. #Antiscience is so real. And so is #LongCovid
The coronavirus vaccine reduced the risk of major cardiovascular events linked to covid-19 by about 40 percent, according to a new study. The findings suggest that such benefits observed in earlier studies have persisted for years. wapo.st/4enaSTL
