A very Happy New Year to you all. If you're still mitigating against infection from SARS-CoV-2 you have nothing but my respect and admiration. Wishing each and every one of you a wonderful 2026.

Hope in 2026 that the UN Global Commission Indoor Air Initiative will begin to force governments to begin to measure and clean up indoor air in public, indoor spaces, while educating the public about how to do the same in their homes. www.wellcertified.com/global-commi... Happy New Year!

Urgent last request to help us meet our fundraising goal at @thesicktimes.org! Help be a part of independent journalism on Long COVID. All donations and shares are greatly appreciated 🙏🏼😷

A very thought provoking piece from Dr AJ Leonardi 🙏🏻 open.substack.com/pub/easychai...

Ontarians who value their free healthcare, read this 🧵👇 and get ready to protect it! ✊ @onthealthcoalition.bsky.social is planning province wide protests to demand the Ford govt restore public funding to our public hospitals and stop their privatization scheme. #ONpoli First, SIGN their petition:

Premier Ford’s move to sell alcohol in grocery & corner stores robbed billions of LCBO revenue that pays for our healthcare + withholding federal funds = purposely straining system to usher in privatization. Not only will we have to use a credit card for care, he may kill us waiting for it. #ONpoli

I'm thankful for another day in which I could help others and my family. Good night. Rest well.

No one randomly owes you information about their health, their loved one’s health, or, understandably, just wanting to avoid Covid, which is the only way to prevent Long Covid.

Dear Jon Stewart, No one randomly owes you information about their health, their loved one’s health, or, understandably, just wanting to avoid Covid, which is the only way to prevent Long Covid.

All-cause mortality rates are higher for several months following a Covid-19 infection. These deaths aren't being attributed to the acute illness, but they are the result of systemic damage caused by the virus

Chatted with a young university student at the grocery store today. He was wearing a surgical mask, while I was wearing a Q100 respirator. He wanted to learn about the difference between them, so I explained it to help him understand. I gave him some Q100s & he immediately put one on. ...

Society needs diagnostics to prove (without a doubt) that vascular damage is being caused by COVID infection (not the vaccines). This will help stabilize societal understanding re: vaccine benefit vs risk. Learning of many people who also have had recent MIs but blame them on the vaccine🤯😔

Had a nice chat with one of our local pharmacists wearing a baggy blue surgical mask. Explained to her what she could be using to help protect her and her 15 mo old at home. Her family has been through so much already. Best to try correctly with respirators & iota-carrageenan to prevent hardship.

Waiting for surgeon to do eye surgery for Cathryn @harttandsoul.bsky.social . This is what sisters do. We are in it together! #HappyHoldays #HappyNewYear Sending Love To You All💗🎉💗🎉💗🎉💗🎉💗🎉💗🎉💗

Respectfully Jon Stewart, you were wrong on the @weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social to mock people who mask. ICYMI: there are tens of millions of Americans who have been disabled by #LongCOVID and must do everything in their power to prevent further infections that make them vulnerable to further 1/

My sister, a Harvard law grad and no stranger to hard work just went on leave from her big law job because of long covid. The best thing you can do for your long term and short term health is not get covid. Maybe instead of mocking maskers, y’all could advocate for putting hepa filters in schools

Precisely why I continue to work so hard trying to avoid repeated COVID infection. 3 years and counting No-VID🙏 No thanks to most of those around me. I actively protect myself from their bad decision-making re: indoor air. I have to. My future health depends on it.

Amazing that this review paper from 2021 just became my most cited paper of my 30+ yr career. I am honored to have been the lead first co-corresponding author with @ChiaWang8. COVID is indeed airborne--as are most other respiratory viruses. @ucsandiego.bsky.social www.science.org/doi/full/10....

Cövid related interstitial lung disease is a nasty complication of an avoidable infection 😷😷😷 doi.org/10.3390/medi...

Mark is of course correct; WHO, CDC, Health Canada kept peddling the bizarre idea that respiratory/circulatory viruses were mainly spread via surface or direct contact as opposed to mainly airborne. It took *months* for even a crack to open, e.g. www.npr.org/sections/hea...

I've been asked by 3 media outlets in the last week to do interviews on the influenza season. I still haven't seen our new CMOH, appointed Dec 18th, (or old one, for that matter. Or any public health official) in the media on this topic. For the record, they are acutally paid, to do this. 1/2

There should be a federal review and/or an outside agency to review why a man died in Alberta waiting for care at the Gray Nuns Community Hospital for 8 hours!! #MarjorieMichel is the federal Minister of Health. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Heads up Ontario, new proposed regulation regarding Policing in Schools just opened for comment. Be specific in your comments if you can. You can leave comments more than once, no worries if you forget something. Please share widely. #onted #onpoli www.regulatoryregistry.gov.on.ca/proposal/52954

Is that including LifeLabs? Are they unreliable as well, now that they have a monopoly on Ontario blood testing?

“I just heard about a family of six, four of them are in bed with flu and their relatives are flying in today from Australia to stay with them. I offered masks and 2 fullsize hepas. "Oh don't worry, they've already had the flu in Oz".” By @1goodtern.bsky.social PLEASE READ ON.

Yeah, so it's not from more testing.

This 👇 There's no such thing as a serious effort to address the implosion of Canada's healthcare system that doesn't address COVID, and the incompetence of infection control leadership. They made a very big mistake in 2020, and they'll take the system down with them before they'll admit it.

When I took my son to the ER last year, the pediatrician mentioned *3 of his colleagues* had to go on extended leave for long Covid.

A 44 year old Edmonton man died after waiting 8 hours in an ER with severe chest pain. He knew something was wrong. While this may be shocking to some, it’s not shocking to the chronically ill. We know how dangerous ERs can be. We know how easily you can be overlooked

"why didn't the nurse get him into a bed sooner? why didn't a doctor see him in the WR? why didn't someone treat his pain?..." there is no question in my mind that severe and WELL-KNOWN ED overcrowding and system issues were the primary factors in this pt's delay to care 5/14

I'll just leave this 2018 paper here: academic.oup.com/jid/article/...

Managers of healthcare are reacting to their own negligence to prevent outbreaks of infection. This has gone on far too long.

I was lucky the hopsital in Brampton, ON was not overwhelmed at the time. This sounds like a COVID-induced heart attack. globalnews.ca/news/1159069... Doctors have not been trained in this and refuse to acknowledge it. Such negligence in the medical industry right now😔

I've given myself the Christmas present of COVID re-infection prevention. Regardless of what other people want, I refuse to meet without my respirator in public, indoor spaces. I choose to continue to try to recover from Long COVID...not make it worse, so others can dine with me indoors.

Yup. More and more infections because of piss-poor direction from those like Bogach all along. "Just wear a surgical mask if you want" was the strongest recommendation from 'public health' -WRONG N95 mandates must be implemented permanently in all medical facilities. www.ctvnews.ca/video/2025/1...

The VAST majority of people cannot grasp that an airborne virus is causing vascular damage, immune deficiency, and neurological problems. The immune deficiency caused by COVID is why everyone who got COVID even once is getting colds and flus more often. Anyway, please mask up in public spaces.

Covid-19 allows us only two choices: we can take action and do whatever needs to be done to stop the uncontrolled spread of Covid-19, or we can recklessly continue with current policies of deliberate negligence and perish in an ongoing holocaust of overwhelming disease. #COVID19
