Africa: Covid Is Still Around and a Risk to Vulnerable People. What Are the Symptoms in 2025? and How Long Does It Last?: [The Conversation Africa] Five years ago, COVID was all we could think about. Today, we'd rather forget about lockdowns, testing queues and social distancing. But the virus that sparked the pandemic, SARS-CoV-2, is still circulating. http://newsfeed.facilit8.network/TKcDX1 #COVID19 #SARSCoV2 #PandemicAwareness #PublicHealth #VulnerablePopulations

#Tewa Women United: #Pueblo Infants Endangered by #LANL 's #Radiation Plan

#NativeLedNonprofit #TewaWomenUnited Commissioned Two Reports to Study Impacts. Finding: #LosAlamos National Laboratory Omitted Dose Calculations to Infants and Children in Their Compliance Application

By Tewa Women United, #CensoredNews, November 19, 2024

#EspanolaNewMexico — "The Native-led nonprofit organization Tewa Women United, based in Española, New Mexico, has released two independent scientific technical reports assessing the implications and adherence to regulations concerning Los Alamos National Laboratory’s proposal to release tritium into the open atmosphere from four Flanged #Tritium Waste Containers located in Area G, near #WhiteRockNewMexico.

"These reports found that the concentration of tritium in the most loaded radioactive container, if vented during unfavorable weather conditions, could lead to radiation doses significantly exceeding the annual regulatory limit of 10 millirem established by the Environmental Protection Agency regulatory radiation standards.

"The author of one report, Bernd Franke, stated, 'In the case of tritium, infants and small children get a radiation dose about three times greater than adults, with the same concentrations of tritium in air, water, and food.'

"However, LANL’s application for venting did not include potential impacts of the #TritiumVenting on infants or children; in effect, LANL did not consider them as 'members of the public.' So far during the permitting process, the #EPA has allowed LANL to ignore these #VulnerablePopulations in their proposal.

"Kathy Wan Povi Sanchez, member of #SanIldefonsoPueblo and one of Tewa Women United’s co- founders, said, 'Tritium makes water, our sacred source of life, radioactive. We were shocked to learn that LANL’s compliance calculations did not take infants and other children into account.'"

“The study, published in the journal PLOS Pathogens, found net #ViralLoads among all community members declined after university #VaccineRequirements went into effect. Masking, isolation and antibodies from getting sick weren't enough to decrease infection rates.

"Before the vaccine was required, the virus was becoming more concentrated in saliva and easier to spread to #VulnerablePopulations” #COVID
