💡10 Fascinating Facts About Your Heart🫀

  1. How many times does a heart beat during the day?
    On average, an adult’s heart beats:
    – 72 times a minute
    – 100,000 times a day
    – 36,000,000 times a year

  2. What is the weight of the human heart?
    A healthy heart only weighs 11 ounces on average and can pump 2,000 gallons of blood through 60,000 miles of blood vessels each day.

  3. How much energy does the human heart generate?
    In a lifetime, the human heart has the power to create enough energy to drive a truck to the moon and back.

  4. How does blood get distributed through the body?
    – 5% goes to the heart
    – 20% goes to the brain and central nervous system
    – 22% goes to the kidneys

  5. How many cells receive blood?
    75 trillion cells receive blood pumped from the heart.

  6. Is the human heart a powerful muscle?
    During a lifetime, the human heart generates 2.5 gigajoules of energy, making it the muscle that does the most physical work.

  7. Which heart beats faster? Man or woman?
    A woman’s heart beats faster than a man’s:
    – Woman: 78 beats per minute.
    – Man: 70 beats per minute.

  8. Does lack of sleep affect the human heart?
    Prolonged lack of sleep can cause irregular jumping heartbeats called premature ventricular contractions (PVCs).

  9. How fast does blood travel through the human body while resting?
    When the body is at rest, it takes the blood:
    – 6 seconds to go from the heart to the lungs and back.
    – 8 seconds to go to the brain and back.
    – 16 seconds to reach the toes and travel all the way back to the heart

  10. Do all organs receive blood?
    The corneas are the only parts of the body that receive no blood supply from the heart. Since they don’t have blood vessels, they get nutrients via tears and aqueous humor.

Children rushed to hospital with scurvy as parents can't afford fruit and vegetables

United Kingdom now a third world country

Young children are being taken to hospital suffering with scurvy because their parents can't afford to feed them fruit and vegetables, nurses are warning.

Last year, a huge rise in cases the Victorian illness was reported.

There was tripling of hospital admissions for malnutrition since 2010, which was branded "a shameful indictment on a decade of the Tories" by Shadow Health Secretary Jonathan Ashworth.

The worrying increases coincide with soaring numbers of people relying on food banks as the cost of living crisis deepens.

Return of scurvy under Tory rule as cases of Victorian illness double in decade

Shadow Health Secretary Jonathan Ashworth said the huge rise in cases of Victorian illness scurvy, along with the tripling of hospital admissions for malnutrition since 2010, was 'a shameful indictment on a decade of the Tories'

May be an image of text that says 'ADVERSE EVENTS: COVID-19 VS. VACCINES Acute Kidney Injury Arrhythmia THE UNIBIASIEID SICIENICIE PODCAST 5 125 6 Deep Vein Thrombosis 43 166 Intracranial Hemorrhage 8 Myocardial Infarction 25 Myocarditis 11 Pericarditis Risk difference per 100,000 persons who had COVID-19 Risk difference per 100,000 persons who were vaccinated @alnmon Lymphadenopathy temporary response vaccination indicating your immune system responding. 11 Pulmonary Embolism 62 Lymphadenopathy 78 50 100 150 The risk of adverse events is substantially higher if you get COVID-19 than if you get vaccinated. The choice is clear. Please get vaccinated.'

The data continue to support the benefits of vaccination. Getting vaccinated, along with other simple mitigation strategies, is the best way to protect yourself and those you love from COVID-19.

However, many people forget that COVID-19, aside from illness itself, can also put you at greater risk for other complications and medical issues.

A recent study in New England Journal of Medicine was able to quantify the absolute risk of a variety of adverse events in people who had COVID-19 as well as people who were vaccinated against COVID-19. The contrast is quite stark. These data assessed 2.4 million vaccinated persons to evaluate the safety profile of the BNT162b2 mRNA Covid-19 vaccine and more than 240,000 people with SARS-CoV-2 infections.

Even when comparing adverse events that have occurred after vaccination, such as myocarditis and pericarditis, the absolute risk of those conditions is still far greater after COVID-19 than after vaccination. The main event that was more prevalent amongst vaccinated persons was lymphadenopathy, which is swelling of the lymph nodes. This is a mild condition that occurred in the clinical trials as well, and is an indication that the immune system is responding to something – in this case, the vaccination, to develop protection against future illness.

Aside from these adverse events presented here, we know the risk of death is astronomically greater – there have been over 4.5 MILLION deaths due to COVID-19 so far globally. This is obviously not the case with vaccination. Getting infected with SARS-CoV-2 also puts your family, friends, and community members at risk – something the vaccine does the exact opposite of.

The choice has always been clear, but these data strengthen the case: please get vaccinated.

while reading

https://scitechdaily.com/inescapable-covid-19-antibody-discovery-neutralizes-all-known-sars-cov-2-strains/

a couple phrases evoked a couple thoughts...

including newly emerged mutants

newly emerged

yeah, oh really? but:
https://odysee.com/@devrijeomroep:6/covid-patent-gate:2
( as i posted here: https://joindiaspora.com/posts/1f5f9e30e40c0139e181002590d8e506 / https://dnext.societas.online/posts/1f5f9e30e40c0139e181002590d8e506 )

closely related

"closely related" :3 :3 :3

as nice as some of this "news" (marketing) is, it's still worth holding in broader context, remembering the matroska boxes these narratives are still in.

Sotrovimab, the newest antibody therapy, was developed by GlaxoSmithKline and Vir Biotechnology after a large collaborative study by scientists from across the nation discovered a natural antibody (in the blood of a SARS survivor, back in 2003) that has remarkable breadth and efficacy.

Experiments showed that this antibody, called S309, neutralizes all known SARS-CoV-2 strains – including newly emerged mutants that can now “escape” from previous antibody therapies – as well as the closely related original SARS-CoV virus.

so... we'll be done with this for-profit&control corporate/fascist terror scam episode now, hrmm? XD

and again, that just further reminds me of that leaked line from yyyyyears ago from some middling insider that went a little something like this: "when the terrorist thing wears off, we're going to have people running scared of a disease without symptoms."

#covid #scamdemic #plandemic #antibodies #sars #biotech #bigpharma #health #publichealth #society #hijackingsociety #biggestwealthtransferever

"there are no new variants" "all the patents are fraudulent"

and since that [patentgate [& natural antibodies already found]] info's out, they seem to doubt their ability to maintain this scam, and seem scrambling for their backup escape narratives. ... makes me wonder what next they have planned already... since 9-11'd been planned since, idk, when were the earliest depictions of that in cinema? 1970s? and covid seems planned since at least the 1990s. ... what's next, and how long's it been in the planning? cos the old dominator oligarchy clubs are not gonna stop... not gonna be suddenly as nice and caring as they attempt preen themselves to appear.

also, reminds of one of those two lines i point out in relation to "spaceships for everybody", "anything you can imagine, we already know how to do.", and evokes wonder at what else, suppressed, held onto, for these ploys of power imbalances.

“Inescapable” COVID-19 Antibody Discovery – Neutralizes All Known SARS-CoV-2 Strains

An antibody therapy that appears to neutralize all known SARS-CoV-2 strains, and other coronaviruses, was developed with a little help from structural biologist Jay Nix. Lifesaving COVID-19 vaccines are allowing us to feel optimistic again, after...

We really need to do better.
“There have been 170,852 total hospital admissions among thirty somethings from the beginning of August to August 11. From the week of July 29-August 4 to the week of August 5-August 11, the seven-day average of admissions jumped from 908 to 1113. In the words of Ron Burgundy from the 2004 movie Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, “Boy, that escalated quickly”
(…)
“Vaccination rates are probably playing a role as well. According to CDC data, as of August 15, less than half (49.9%) of those 20 to 39 years of age have been fully vaccinated. Compare that 59.1% of 40 somethings, 68.4% of those in the 50-to-64 year age range, 82.6% in the 65-to-74 age range, and 78.3% in the 75-plus age range. That’s going to leave quite a few thirty somethings as risk for not only catching the virus but having worse Covid-19 outcomes.”

Covid-19 Hospitalizations For U.S. Adults In 30’s Reach Record High

Since June 29, the number of hospitalizations per day has been going up and up, driven in part by the Delta variant. But there are other reasons.

La sanità pubblica in Italia è gratuita, ogni spesa importante è pagata dallo Stato, sia per quanto riguarda i ricoveri ospedalieri e interventi chirurgici che per le medicine e le visite mediche. La maggior parte degli Americani non sa questa cosa, ci sono Americani che muoiono perchè non possono permettersi le cure mediche.

In questi ultimi anni i politici stanno cercando di importare il modello Americano a pagamento, pur avendo qui tasse altissime con una pressione fiscale che sfiora in alcuni casi il 70&
