“The status quo is simply too dangerous to continue. Investigations can lack coordination and timeliness in response, be inconsistent, or worse yet, incomplete. Agencies have, at times, even announced conclusions before the facts were clear” www.statnews.com/2025/11/07/l...

NEW: Billions of pounds of food are imported to the U.S. each year. The FDA inspects foreign producers to ensure what we're eating is safe from pathogens and dangerous manufacturing practices. But now, after Trump's drastic staff cuts, these inspections have plummeted to a historic low. 🧵/

Tom Hanks explains to Stephen Colbert why he masks on the subway: "I'm doing a play right now so I cannot get sick... I've had COVID enough in my life, I don't need to do that again. So I'm wearing this for health reasons." Thank you Tom! Masks are still a key part of public health.

Public health is under attack by a deluge of misinformation. We offer a consensus report from the American Psychological Association summarizing what we know & what interventions are effective in countering it. We provide 8 concrete recommendations. Open-access - awspntest.apa.org/fulltext/202...

Strap in for a story of RFK Jr’s anti-vaxx activist group Children’s Health Defense, which he founded; his MAHA movement (see its Oct 1 Media Action, with the Great Barrington Declaration’s Jay Bhattacharya & Russell Brand!); calls to “lock up” health workers; & antisemitic conspiracy theories 👀

People continue to call COVID advocates’ pleas for masking “unreasonable”. Yet people who’ve already been disabled by COVID have no choice but to live with the “unreasonable” burdens of constant COVID safety. My latest: substack.com/home/post/p-...

PSA: Covid cases can be infectious for over a week. A friend with Covid is still testing highly positive on rapid tests after 8 days. If your rapid test is positive you are still infectious. Stay home, mask up, ventilate indoor spaces so you don’t spread it to others.

Proposed contributors to Long COVID include persistent viral infection latent virus reactivation, immune dysregulation autoimmunity gut microbiota alterations mitochondrial dysfunction endothelial injury and coagulation abnormalities www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Long COVID symptoms can last for weeks, months or even years. These symptoms can be mild or severe. Remember: The best way to prevent long COVID is to prevent getting COVID-19. How you can support someone living with long COVID: nyc.gov/longcovid

SNAP funding runs out at the end of this month and food banks will need extra support. If you can donate, please do so. Consider donating some respirators too! Long lines in crowded place can lead to Covid spread. Let’s keep people fed & healthy!

Just receieved this today from Florida Blue. This is for a Bronze plan. Our monthly premiums are going from $333 (2025) to $2300 in 2026.

5 yrs after the start of the worst health crisis in memory, there is a national conversation waiting to be had about the roles of the individual, society and the state in such a crisis. What is my responsibility to myself and to my community, and what is the responsibility of the state towards us?

Health Canada has released new guidelines for air quality professionals that clearly state Covid can linger in the air & respirator masks should be considered IN ADDITION to improving ventilation 🔗 www.canada.ca/content/dam/...

“When you have a disability people can’t see, you don’t get the same level of empathy. It feels like the world has moved on.” It’s shameful how society is gaslighting people who are experiencing chronic illness and ignoring an ongoing public health crisis.

Hey Colorado residents, particularly people in Fort Collins, but also those who are somewhat near: my sister and brother in law are running a study on an easy, portable method to help maintain indoor air quality during adverse outside events (like smoke or pollution).

The goal of the war on public health is to strip us of all of the tools we have to protect ourselves. Violet Affleck FTW, We don’t have the tools, Long Covid’s Brutal Economics, and more open.substack.com/pub/johndupu...

For people asking how I got the novavax covid vaccine, this is what I did, I called my local CVS and asked them if they had the Nuvaxovid vaccine in stock.

Just another doctor-scammer using lies to make money. If you check out this guy's linktree & website, he's making 💵 off of vaccine lies in so many ways. He'll never stop telling them - they're making him rich & famous. These people are what keep the misinformation alive. #MedSky #NEISvoid

Kathy Hochul's executive order should make it easy for everyone in New York to get a COVID vaccine without a prescription, and without citing an underlying condition. The reality in local pharmacies is very different. @lauren-hartley.bsky.social has this guide to navigating the uncertainty.

Novavax tracker is now live if you are looking for the covid protein based vaccine. Just make sure the store still exists - I caught one instance of it saying it’s at a Walgreens that was bulldozed.
