⚠️This is misinformation and hubris at the highest level. What @SecKennedy is suggesting is that due to his misguided non-medical opinion/advice on mercury in vaccines, he would like to make medicines most important advance in history (vaccines) unaffordable to the most

⚠️SOFR-IORB remains elevated at +0.34%. Banks borrowed $50 billion from SRF on Friday, and further $22 billion was borrowed November 3. Agree with @RealEJAntoni and @LynAldenContact that FED is onto this, would never allow another 2019 repocalypse. End of QT and QE are on the
⚠️The SOFR-IORB is at a record high spread of +37bps. When the FED cut the FFR October 29, IORB dropped to 3.9%, yet SOFR hardly moved (4.31% to 4.27%). Spreads are usually negative, except at month ends (now). If the spread doesn’t moderate soon that will herald urgent Repo

#covid aged many of our organs by decades. The eye is no different. Inflammatory thromboses of all organ systems leads to premature aging. https://t.co/u3SQu9PtAc
Visual loss from #COVIDー19 is not much talked about, but something I see, sadly: usually presenting as macular degeneration in otherwise low risk patients

Excellent 🧵 on liquidity stresses, short and long term rates, QE.
1/13 🧵on the stresses in the funding markets, why they are happening, and what it means. Be sure to see the last two posts (12 and 13). Funding rates are rising relative to the Federal Reserve's administered rates (bottom panel arrow). This signals stress in funding markets.

Trialing GLP1’s in LongCovid is long overdue. Excellent that Tirzepatide trial is finally recruiting. Many more anti-inflammatory trials need doing. I postulated this 18 months back.👇👇 https://t.co/a53jVGvF8C
