American Journal of Managed Care:'COVID-19 Vaccination Linked to Lower Risk of Long COVID in Adolescents' 'Given the profound impact [long COVID] can have on the health & well-being of adolescents & the lack of available treatments, these findings support vaccination' www.ajmc.com/view/covid-1...

COVID vaccination cuts risk of long-term symptoms in teens by over a third, data suggest. "The risk of long COVID was 36% lower in adolescents vaccinated within 6 months before their first infection than in their unvaccinated peers"

Refusing to wear a respirator mask during the ongoing pandemic of Covid-19 is not merely deeply unwise, in terms of essential safety. It is also deeply immoral, because it overtly signifies an unrepentant lack of concern for the collective well-being of the entire human community. #COVID19

Six years into forever-Covid, the evidence is unequivocal Cvirus is an airborne, disabling, neuroinvasive vascular disease that can damage immunity, blood vessels & organs, increasing their risk of heart failure, diabetes & cognitive, behavioural & psychiatric disorders. And there’s no cure

A new study found that Paxlovid (nirmatrelvir-ritonavir) helps lower the risk of Long COVID in adults over 50, but not in adolescents. It’s a reminder that what works for adults may not work for children—and we still need ways to prevent Long COVID in kids.

Vaccine availability in Ontario. Free. Everyone 6 months of age and older who lives, works or goes to school in Ontario may receive their COVID-19 vaccine starting on October 27, 2025. Some may receive your COVID-19 vaccine dose(s) and flu shot as soon as they become available in the fall.

If you stopped masking, now is the time to start again. Masks: best defence against infection. Vaccines reduce illness severity. Antivirals (Paxlovid) improve symptoms. Wear a well fitted N95 indoors & in crowds. You won't regret avoiding an airborne virus, especially one as nasty as Covid.

Seriously, try really really hard to not get covid. Get vaccinated if you can. Mask up. Stay home if you feel sick.
