Thought of creating a🧵on #Listeria infection as more people are curious to know about it.
Firstly it's very uncommon in #SriLanka but recently a few deadly cases were reported of persons who visited Adam's Peak (#Siripada) during the season.
So here goes..

Here we go folks! Reading HB23-1100 on the floor @lorenaforsenate @NaquettaR intro the bill on the floor this morning

YES on HB23-1100 - it is not a state value to make profit off of immigrants that happen to be brought to a prison because of IGSA contract #copolitics
Alright folks! We heard two racist remarks already!

Rep. Holtorf is pleading that we consider Teller county - where they are making .01% off keeping immigrants in prison who are awaiting immigration cases

YES on 1100 #EndTheContract #copolitics
Other then Teller County just wanting to make $ off the back of immigrants in a IGSA contractual hosting facility - which has been an avenue to shipping immigrants farther from where they are in the first place

YES on HB23-1100 - END these harmful contracts now #copolitcs

We are so PUMPED to be back at House Judiciary committee to hear HB23-1187 Alternative Sentencing for Pregnant People #copolitics

HB23-1187 will ensure that #pregnant people have the opportunity to #alternative sentencing 🔥

@S2SSisters @elephant_circle
We know that pregnancy is contraindicated towards a #healthy pregnancy & being incarcerated while pregnant is harmful to both the pregnant person and the child - #reproductivejustice is what we are fighting for today #copolitics @elephant_circle @S2SSisters
Correctional facilities are not mandated to track or report pregnancy-related data & most facilities do not have any routine process for collecting such information - another reason why we are saying YES on HB23-1187 #copolitics #leadership #reproductivehealth

#OrangeTheWorld - A thread on reproductive control, coercion and entrapment 🧵

As a #trapped populations scholar, I have lately spent a lot of time thinking about reproductive #coercion, #control and #entrapment. (i)
The #familycourts appear to fail to understand, acknowledge and interrupt these dynamics of #coercivecontrol in their current system. (ii)
Many perpetrators of #coercivecontrol will already begin to put pressure on or introduce the idea of a child during the early love bombing phase. (iii)

So why are some people saying that it has? 🤔

There seems to be some confusion because the full approval documents for the Pfizer vaccine - published a few weeks ago - note that Pfizer did not themselves do any studies of the vaccine in pregnancy.

Here's the relevant document... 2/

gov.uk/government/pub…
But this document describes only the data that Pfizer submitted to the MHRA, not the independently generated data we have from universities and government bodies, which track vaccine safety in more than 315,000 pregnant people and find no problem. 3/

Pfizer and FDA KNEW BY DEC 2020 the shots waned, there was “vax failure” & “covid” was an effect.

In May 2021 Pfizer knew about the heart damage in kids & FDA rolled out the EUA anyway. Parents weren’t made aware til August.

Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists and its military arm, the Ukrainian Insurgent Army.
Their goal was to purge all non-Ukrainians from a future #Ukrainian state. They wanted not only to purge Polish civilians, but also to erase all traces of #Polish presence in the area.
The murders were committed with incredible cruelty. Many were burnt alive or thrown into wells. Axes, pitchforks, scythes, knives and other farming tools rather than guns were used in an attempt to make the massacres look like a spontaneous peasant uprising.

Cytomegalovirus is a common virus. It can be serious if a woman catches it during pregnancy as she may pass the virus on to her baby.

My son has CMV, if it had been screened for, early treatment could've reduce complications.

2/ A randomised control trial demonstrated a 71% reduction in the risk of foetal transmission when a high dose of Valaciclovir was given to women who seroconvert #CMV, (pass to foetus), in pregnancy.

1st Trimester Screening is a no brainer.
3/ The Valgan Toddler Study, a randomised control trial, showed no efficacy of late treatment where there is hearing loss caused by CMV, so the only opportunity to preserve hearing is by treatment in the new-born period.

Neonatal CMV Screening could prevent children going deaf.

The findings are roughly in line with what we already know about the outcomes of COVID in pregnancy.

We usually say that stillbirth is 3x more likely following infection. The slightly higher number here may be because they also counted babies dying shortly after birth... 3/

Louisa Westropp (born 1858), following a marriage characterised by constant domestic violence, sued her husband for divorce on the grounds of cruelty. Before Irish independence, cruelty was, in theory, legal grounds for divorce.....

..... but men were considered to have the right to physically 'chastise' their wives, as women at that time had few rights (including the right to custody of their own children) cruelty was almost never cited in #divorce proceedings.

It was the first time an #Irish #woman sued her husband for divorce on grounds of cruelty, and it set a legal precedent. Terrible as things were for Louisa, they were much worse for women from less wealthy backgrounds.

🧵 Shared from a dr friend, details changed for patient privacy: Had 3 unvaxxed women in late pregnancy hospitalized w/ #COVID19 w/ emergency early deliveries. One dead, leaving 5 kids; one transferred out of state for ECMO (my note: most advanced life support) & dying anyway…
2/ One survived but had a stroke that left her with neurological disability so she will not be able to return to her home. Instead, she’ll spend her New Years’ Eve in a brain rehab. All the babies are expected to live, but these families are 💔. Two young moms dead, one disabled.
3/ #COVID19 is very dangerous in #pregnancy. The risk of death from #Covid is 22 times ⬆️ if you are #pregnant. The risk of stillbirth is doubled. Both @CDCgov & @ACOGPregnancy strongly rec to #GetVaccinated & #GetBoosted at ANY point in pregnancy, yet 2/3 in 🇺🇸 are unvaxxed.

Well, I got 2 messages before 9am from friends telling me they have #COVID19 in their households. And in the 12 mins since, I’ve just heard about 4 more. So Merry Exponential Growth #Omicron #Christmas. 🌲 😫

A quick 🧵 on what to do if that’s you since I’m typing it anyway.
1/ The first thing to say is that if someone has #COVID19 symptoms (#Omicron most common: nasal congestion/runny nose, scratchy sore throat, fever, & aches), you have to assume they have it. You may not have a test (urgent cares are still open & do) or they may still be neg.
2/ You, as the person exposed to the one with symptoms, have to assume that you both do & don’t have #Omicron too. Wait, what? 🤔

I mean: assume you could infect others now & take care to avoid exposing them, BUT don’t assume it’s too late for you to avoid getting it.

If you get the #CovidVaccine while you are #pregnant, what cross the placenta? 🤔

This new preprint looked at 19 people vaccinated in pregnancy, and their babies, to find out... 🧵

medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
👉🏻 Vaccine mRNA and Spike protein were not detectable in placenta or cord blood.

👉🏻 Anti-spike IgM was not present in cord blood (which it would be if the babies had made their own response to the vaccine).

Two previous studies also found this... 2/

👉🏻 We already know that anti-Spike IgG crosses the placenta, and might be expected to protect newborns against COVID. This study confirmed this.

This is in line with lots of previous work, which you can find under q8 of this document... 3/

1. [Thread] Should pregnant people get the #COVID19 #vaccine? And what about people who are planning on having a baby?

Short answer: Yes.

@KeMohale spoke to @priyasomapillay to find out how the jabs protect pregnant women and their babies.
2. @priyasomapillay says pregnant people are more likely to get very sick from #COVID19. That means a higher chance of ending up in hospital or needing a ventilator.

That’s why it’s important for them to get a COVID jab.
3. Is it safe for #pregnant people to get a #COVID19vaccine?

@CDCgov data shows there isn’t a difference in the #sideeffects pregnant people and those who are not pregnant experience. The most common reactions people have are fever and arm pain.

Le New England Journal of Medicine a apporté une correction à ses précaunisation sur la vaccination des femmes enceintes.
Le NEJM indique qu’une femme enceinte vaccinée sur 8 subit un avortement "spontané" (104/827 : 12.6%).

Vaccins à ARNm Covid-19 chez les femmes enceintes (Editorial, N Engl J Med 2021;384:2342-2343). Au moment de la publication des résultats préliminaires dans l'article original lié à cet éditorial, le nombre d'avortements spontanés était de 104 et il y avait 1 mortinaissance.

Cependant, aucune proportion n'a pu être déterminée pour le risque d'avortement spontané parmi les participantes vaccinées avant 20 semaines de gestation, car les informations de suivi n'étaient pas encore disponibles pour la majorité de ces personnes.
