It is noteworthy that public messaging on hantavirus is under the control of the people who botched the COVID response, and who would have to admit their errors from the one to competently manage the other. So our public health policy from now on is "thoughts and prayers".

I just want you to know as the world freaks out about hantavirus, those of us who are covid conscious are trying very hard not to look directly into the camera.

If you’ve never had a chronic illness or witnessed someone you love with one, you also have the mistaken assumption that medical intervention will be a) available to you, and b) will allow you to maintain your ability and independence. 12

Good indoor air quality is essential to whole health. I met with @cleanairto.bsky.social advocates and the Board of Health Chair to discuss practical steps to improve air in shared spaces—building on recent progress and a 2023 motion I advanced with colleagues at the TDSB. #CleanAirTO #PublicHealth

Oh, chronic absenteeism after the pandemic has risen to over 60% for high school students in Ontario? That’s because IT’S NOT AFTER THE PANDEMIC Kids are missing school because they are sick, and this is happening on a global scale. @globalnews.ca apple.news/A59EHd4IQS-O...

Your regular reminder: It’s not vaccines vs masks It’s vaccines AND masks AND clean air AND tests AND more

If you care about the COVID airborne transmission cover-up you should read this. TLDR: there was a COVID airborne transmission cover-up

Brilliant strategy to let COVID run rampant and infect everyone and their children multiple times. Then no one wants to face it or talk about it or begin to think about how we might solve or approach it, or just move forward and not remain in place. Brilliant and evil.

CBC has “investigated” increased school absences, consulted 2 “experts,” and concluded it’s a mental health issue despite citing data showing sick days are up by 72% for elementary students and 50% for secondary students. Talk about ignoring evidence right in front of you. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

"Covid is NBD. It's just like a flu!" Okay and the flu has killed 250 people in one province. Now what? Wait, wait! Let me guess! It doesn't matter to you because "they were probably old and unhealthy?" Eugenics, eugenics, eugenics - as far as the eye can see.

You know how we resist fascism? Wear a mask ✊😷 It’s community care & a visual signal that says you will no longer accept anyone, including yourself, to be collateral damage for their profit. Demand clean air in schools, workplaces, every public space, just like we have clean water. It’s NOT too late

I wish the only-vaxers would get as fired up about other ways to prevent infection as they do about the vaccines. Their unshakable belief that they don’t need to do anything more than get the shot to be good and reasonable people is a very big part of the reason the pandemic isn’t over. 😷🪟💨💉🧀

Very few people are willing to have a real conversation about why everything feels off.

I’m going to say again, infecting your allies with a potentially debilitating and deadly illness is extremely foolish behavior in any kind of movement. You’re doing work for the other guys.

PHAC wastewater data shows that covid is high in Ontario right now. Yet public health almost entirely silent on the levels of covid, the risks it poses, and how to protect yourself and your community. High levels are a public health failure and a significant risk for our future.

#CovidConscious folks, please sign and share this petition to direct Toronto Public Health to take action on indoor air quality. You don’t need to live in Toronto to sign.

Clean indoor air reduces illness. It’s ridiculous that we don’t already have indoor air quality regulations. And it’s ludicrous that we have to petition public health to get them to do something about this. But here we are. Please sign. You don’t have to live in Toronto to sign. cleanindoorairto.ca

We have surpassed 800 and are trying to reach 900 signatures. Please sign and share!

We’re over 600 signatures, hoping to get to 1000 before the Board of Health meets Monday. You don’t need to live in Toronto to sign! #topoli #cleantheair

The latest wastewater numbers for Ontario show Influenza A levels have spiked dramatically, with Covid levels also high. Not a great sign with the return to school next week. Wearing a good quality mask offers good protection from airborne viruses both for yourself and others. wwater.ca/Ontario

So, soon It’ll be six years when I bought my first FFP2 masks, and I've never entered since without, in any unsecured indoor space. Consequence: Zero #COVID, flu, etc. for the past six years. But I need to know (anonymously): - Please RT if you still wear one 100% - like if you still do occasionally

Clean air for kids & staff in schools & daycares shouldn’t be controversial No IAQ policy at any level of govt ensuring indoor air is clean & safe to breathe atm Petition to Toronto Board of Health to direct TO Public Health to adopt Health🇨🇦's new IAQ Guidance preview.mailerlite.io/preview/1297...

Sick and tired? Influenza test positivity is very high in Ontario and remains the highest in children (5-11 yrs) at 73.3% and adolescents (12-19 yrs) at 67.3%. COVID-19 and RSV are also circulating. These viruses are airborne: we get sick by breathing them in! But it doesn't have to be this way!

Flu fatalism is not helpful: we can keep the air in schools much cleaner and fresher, reducing the risk of infection to children and teachers. #IAQ #masks ottawa.citynews.ca/2025/12/21/s...

After the devastating loss of the 3 children in Ottawa, it was urgent to get info out re the additional ways avail to protect one’s loved ones from serious illness as we enter the holidays… and to remind young fams this amt of sickness ISN’T normal. #VaccinePlus ottawa.citynews.ca/2025/12/21/s...

What's truly sick is Tylenol running an ad campaign, during a global flu surge that's already killed children, in which they encourage people to hide their symptoms and go out and spread the virus to friends and to strangers in crowds. In Canada you can file a complaint at adstandards.ca

Wastewater speaks Are you listening? Virus peaks In what we’re shitting But people don’t care They act unaware Living in pandemic wastelands (1/3)

I see that the only-vaxers, still feeling confident about how well they stopped Covid in its tracks, are now sharing their wisdom for flu prevention. FFS, quit whining and wear a fucking mask and clean the indoor air. Kids are dying.

I said “let’s clean the air, wear masks and other prevention stuff to protect people from bugs”… Society said. “We prefer dead kids.” Mainly because dark money convinced people that going back to “normal” was important, no matter how bad it was.

This article isfrom 2018. How long are we going to wait for public health and IPAC to catch up to the science? How many people will die because they’re too stubborn to change course? www.cidrap.umn.edu/influenza-ge...

Hey Toronto! Like to breathe clean, safe air? Me too! Please read and sign this petition to the Board of Health asking for better indoor air quality guidelines! 🌬️🍃 #topoli

Not one fucking word from any quoted health expert on cleaning classroom air. Yes, talk about vaccines, ofc that's important. But there's something else we could talk about here: a measure that protects everyone but doesn't trigger endless debates on the choice to vaccinate. Clean classroom air!

Where was *this* Merrilee Fullerton in 2020-23 when we needed her to speak up as a cabinet minister and help protect us all from a dangerous airborne virus? #CovidIsAirborne #PublicHealthFail drmerrileefullerton.substack.com/p/public-hea...

Public health: "We must do something about all this disinformation out there" Also public health: "Here's a bar of soap to handwash your way out of COVID"

I really hope someone at @sickkidsto.bsky.social reads this and then puts an end to the harmful gaslighting of Long Covid kids that’s done through their Somatization Pathway project. SickKids is causing kids serious mental harm and preventing their recovery in order to boost a few doctors’ careers.

Naming Dr. Henry to the Order of Canada spits in the face of every serious scientist, healthcare worker, public health practitioner, and victim of COVID. She botched SARS-CoV-1, botched the Seven Oaks investigation, and botched SARS-CoV-2. She has so much blood on her hands. This is *vile*. 🧵

As a society we also need to think about why it's OK to exclude kids from even the limited protections offered by occupational health and safety rules, even in places like schools where they are forced to be present. Kids should be *more* protected than an adult working in a steel mill, not less.

Meanwhile, Ontario public health telling people to get vaccinated before they travel out of the country.🙄 www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

84 people have been hospitalized, so the hottest place to catch measles in Ontario will be... in the hospital. But we can see each other's smiles, and breathe and splutter all over each other there. Come for surgery or a broken arm, leave with COVID and measles. www.ctvnews.ca/health/artic...

@tdsb: since 2020 the Covid competent in Toronto have been begging you to do something about indoor air quality in schools. Wake up and protect kids and staff from airborne threats to their health!

Crickets 🦗 from #Ontario #CMOH, Dr. Kieran Moore, re our current #Measles state. We don’t need insects, we need an immediate #VaccinePLUS strategy suggested to them last week by @onschoolsafety.bsky.social. So, Ontario friends, pls take time today to make some NOOOISE 📣! Contact info in 🧵: /1

School closures weren’t a plot by “elites” to punish the poor. The alternative was mass disabling and killing children and their families. The idea that workers should have had no choice but to send their kids into unsafe conditions is not a “pro-worker” stance.

Lockdowns didn’t create inequality. Capital did. Capital gutted public supports, forced workers into unsafe conditions, and treated mass death as an acceptable cost of doing business. The same forces pushing this “laptop class” narrative were fighting to end unemployment relief.

Resistance starts with a respirator. But no one wants to hear that.

111K children with #LongCovid in UK and growing as the SarsCov2 virus continues to give them multiple infections every year because there are no mitigations in schools. It doesn't have to be that way. #LongCovidAwarenessDay
