Reminder that ignoring Covid is causing mass immune dysregulation which is resulting in an obscene number of pathogens to increase in spread AND synchronicity.

Wear a mask.

I'd be interested in the actual sources. I can't find a source in the million tweet thread (other than "I had the data"). I can't personally find any source/dataset myself that even slightly agrees with the heatmaps here. Their one actual source - Scottish wastewater viral load graphs, shows the seasonal behaviour and lack of synchronicity we'd typically expect.

Am I just being silly and missin' it? Because this is a fascinating phenomenon if actually true.

Dug into the replies there, they say it's all UKHSA rolling annual totals except for Lyme which is from the weekly lab-confirmed report UK does under the notifications of infectious disease system.

[–] SootySootySoot@hexbear.net 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Cheers for that. Sadly, I can't find any info from UKHSA that backs it up either. Not sure how they're getting any rolling totals there except Measles and Strep A, which they only claim a .33 correlation for anyway. I tried really hard to find UKHSA Pertussis stats but the only ones I found were absolutely not a 0.96 correlation with the same period for Measles on the dashboard.

It genuinely could just be me being shit at finding this stuff, but I still can't correlate.

[–] HumongousChungus@hexbear.net 1 points 2 months ago

Yee, no particular endorsement of this analysis, just happened to track down the claims

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 22 points 3 months ago

HumuongousChungus has your sources, but, I mean, it's expected. Mass immune dysregulation has been steady in the top 5 things keeping me up at night. For years doomer

Where is this from? finding it insanely difficult to verify any of this information or find a source other than I made it the fuck up

Showed this to my partner who is a statistics person and they were like x to doubt immediately and have been looking for sources or any info about this other than a twitter thread

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Whatever ukhsa site they get data from.🤷 It may be out of the annual reports.

I think this might've been one of theirs. There's a source at the bottom.

They're not the only one talking about this though.

https://icemsg.org/2025/05/24/evidence-suggesting-immune-damage/

And for the US, if you start searching on news.Google you'll find, like clockwork, articles about outbreaks of things like strep A, rsv, norovirus, shingles, and (the latest) pneumonia after every Covid wave. I myself had Covid then strep about 6 months later.

[–] AOCapitulator@hexbear.net 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Specifically I meant the source for those correlation graphs

Is what you're saying that the person who was posting this on twitter made that infographic themselves using tables of data from UKHSA website?

I don't doubt it's happening, I'm actually looking for info to convince said partner cause I don't want to have shown them bullshit which would have been embarrassing lol

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Oh. The source is 1goodtern, they made the correlation graphs themselves using ukhsa data. https://xcancel.com/1goodtern/status/1918723941167710416

[–] AOCapitulator@hexbear.net 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Ahh thanks! I missed that context I thought this person was posting someone elses (or so they claimed) infographics

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 3 points 3 months ago

Welcome! No worries.

Good time to get into the snake breeding & essential oil refinement businesses.

[–] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 39 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

lmao I am literally in sales at a company that does exactly that.

We do actually sell a bunch of basic multi-vitamins and stuff that is actually good for you but god damn are a lot of our clients cranks.

Someone yesterday asked me while I was putting together a purchase order if we had any herbal remedies for whooping cough. Motherfucker no you need antibiotics holy shit.

[–] graymess@hexbear.net 32 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I would have a really hard time keeping my mouth shut for the sake of my job.

[–] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 16 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Honestly I know this sounds fucked up but there is no saving these people it isn't worth it. I know, my mom is one.

[–] peeonyou@hexbear.net 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

you're right that sounds fucked up

[–] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

So what am I supposed to do? Get my self fired trying to reeducate some maga chud on a sales call? Do you hear yourself?

[–] peeonyou@hexbear.net 2 points 3 months ago

I'm not saying that, but it does sound fucked up

[–] MolotovHalfEmpty@hexbear.net 15 points 3 months ago

Retvrn (to 1700s life expectancy)

[–] Crucible@hexbear.net 49 points 3 months ago

The full arc from Andrew Wakefield saying we need individual shots for each disease because he was invested in a company that sold the individual shots to RFKjr inventing a fake super shot that covers everything is really something to have witnessed

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 47 points 3 months ago

This man is an emissary of Nurgle and we must break out the blessed Promethium asap

Second day in a row now I'm reminded of Blue by Eiffel 65

[takes huge bong rip] what if like, fucking, we fucking had like ONE vaccine man and it cured CANCER?

[–] Jabril@hexbear.net 44 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Didn't some lab just announce a general cancer mRNA vaccine that is in the works? It trains your immune system to go after any cancer cell, based on success with mRNA vaccines targeting specific types of cancer. The closest thing to what he is describing is being worked on and the US just cut major funding to the research that makes it possible

Ah yes the phylum "virus."

Crazy how a global pandemic results in the floor just completely falling out on public health even as that pandemic continues

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 39 points 3 months ago

Pm this kind of talk should cause you to instinctively pat your pockets to make sure everything is there

[–] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 36 points 3 months ago

Viruses aren't even in a "kingdom" of life, they are in the rarely used "realm" classification, they aren't a phylum. Nothing says "This person completely understands this idea they are proposing" quite like getting it wrong by 2 orders of magnitude.

"We are proud to announce that we have finally removed mercury from mandatory vaccines!"

...

"We are also proud to announce our new mandatory mercury shots!"

[–] Lavender@hexbear.net 33 points 3 months ago

Lmao and watch him try to make it mandatory

Can't wait to see what the based vaccine does

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 23 points 3 months ago

It gives you Mr. Burns Syndrome, where you have every disease at once and they all fight each other so you have no symptoms.

[–] vegeta1@hexbear.net 14 points 3 months ago

This gonna be the Las plagas virus in the form of s vaccine

This is the missing backstory for the origin of T Rex in Gretchen Felker-Martin's Manhunt, isn't it? what-the-hell
