Hey all, happy Friday! @togetherwemask.bsky.social is hosting a Long COVID Defense Forum TODAY at 2pm PT / 5 pm ET with some terrific guests including Solenn Tanguy, Dr. Angelique Corthals, Adam Van Bavel, Ann Wallace, and Becky Ancira Robertson. We're excited to hear from all of them!

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.

In Feb 2025, Louisiana Surgeon General Ralph Abraham ordered the state health department to stop promoting vaccines. Now, the news comes out that the health department failed to inform the public or even healthcare professionals about the largest whooping cough outbreak in more than a decade.

Australian scientist who alerted world that COVID is airborne wins top science prize When the WHO falsely claimed in March 2020 that COVID wasn’t airborne, Professor Lidia Morawska took action—organising 239 scientists worldwide to warn about SARS-CoV-2 airborne spread and urge global recognition.

We're seeing SO much more discussion of indoor air quality since last month's United Nations event and we love it! Since this is the last week of National Indoor Air Quality Month in the U.S, we're curious - what ways have you used to improve indoor air quality or advocate for it?

NEW: The entire staff supporting ACIP was laid off, and most working groups haven't met in months. That means the US may not make routine vaccine recommendations for more than half of children in 2026, and it could halt new vaccines in the pipeline. My latest: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The UK COVID inquiry is valuable simply in documenting the failures of the pandemic. Establishing for the historical record that the public health and infection control bodies that grabbed control over COVID decision-making were negligent and out of their depth will make next steps easier.
