Sadly many patients are catching COVID infections in hospital and this goes unmentioned. Patients chances are hampered by hospital acquired covid which is airborne and there are no preventions in place for airborne transmission. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

My long COVID symptoms have lasted for more than six years now. I do not believe I will ever get well, since there are no treatments or cures available. My infection was so mild that it didn't even cross my mind to see the doctor. The acute illness phase lasted for six weeks, but it was mild.

“Persistent physical and mental health impairments remained common up to 2.5 years after infection among nonhospitalized adults with long COVID, or post-COVID-19 condition (PCC)…”

Deconvolution for BA.3.2* is finally publicly available for Swiss wastewater (cyan curve). Seq data until Jan 11, viral load data until Jan 25. It started growing beginning of December and run into trouble. Also noticeable: NB.1.8.1* subvariant fraction seems to rise. bsky.app/profile/domi...

Waiting at a train station today, I saw an elderly woman on the opposite platform wearing a blue surgical mask. Every time I see someone in a blue surgical mask it drives home so profoundly to me how public health in this country is failing people. Every single time.

my 86-yr-old mother in early stages of dementia has developed a rattly chest cough after being in hospital for a week. she has 5 broken ribs (in multiple places) from being struck by a car at crosswalk. docs and nurses are concerned about complications from pneumonia, influenza … COVID? not so much

in her hospital ward there’s a “suggestion” board just outside the nurses’ station asking how to improve care—i wrote that all staff should be in respirators to minimize nosocomial infection. my note was rather conspicuous as it was the only one in red ink. when i returned hours later it was gone

44 new sequences from Scotland. BA.3.2* frequency has plateaued at a high level. For Jan 19–25, frequency is 50%, but sample numbers are low.

I kølvandet på en sag, hvor en ung mand fra Mors ikke længere får lov at have handicapbil, har socialdemokraternes handicapordfører 'opdaget', at det er blevet sværere at få handicapbil. Først bliver man glad - og så kommer man i tanke om, at det er valgår i år. Betalingsvæg #dkpol #sundpol

NÅR JOBAFKLARING BLIVER EN LIVSTIDSDOM En lidt tung artikel (læs: min grødhjerne kan ikke rigtig afkode den i dag). Men bare overskriften - den er ret sigende for velfærden i Danmark anno 2026, ikke? Landet hvor de heldige er dem, der får førtidspensionen FØR de dør. #dkpol #sundpol

Det minder efterhånden om den fattighjælp vi havde i slutningen af 1800 tallet. Det næste bliver at antallet af hjemløse stiger, og så er vi nødt til at genindføre fattiggårdene så der er styr på fattiglemmerne pov.international/aabent-brev-...

10 new sequences from New South Wales 🇦🇺. BA.3.2* frequency continues to decline, but sample numbers remain very low - no firm conclusions yet. If the trend persists, we’ll need to see whether the variant co-circulates (as observed in South Africa) or fades out entirely.

Yes, we knew this. Everything is being replicated, in multiple studies. Because SARS-CoV-2 is a dangerous, disabling virus that no one should be getting. You might as well smoke two packs a day.

»I skolerne gøres der fortsat meget lidt eller intet for at forebygge smitte, men samtidig medfører #LongCovid funktionelle begrænsninger, f.eks. i kognitionen, og en øget risiko for flere fraværsdage.«

Oh Lord When I said that I saw parallels between Milhoan saying he saw a great opportunity to learn from uncontrolled measles in the US & Stabell Benn planning a study in Guinea-Bissau to learn from withholding the hep B vaccine birth dose in newborns, I didn’t realize they had teamed up before!

Soon; Stabell Benn to Milhoan: Let's team up, as we have already done before... bsky.app/profile/sore...

A striking parallel: Milhoan, chair of RFK Jr’s vaccine committee, sees the US explosion of measles as a chance to learn about how uncontrolled measles affects the unvaxxed RFK Jr financed Danish researchers to learn what happens when you deny the hep B vaxx birth dose to babies in Guinea Bissau

Auch der Klimawandelskeptiker Bjørn Lomborg ist in den files.

Study shows that the shingles vaccine promotes healthy aging "I am not saying that the...vaccine is some miracle “Fountain of Youth,” but it seems to have some significant effects on aging. But this is all a bonus because the vaccine happens to prevent shingles, a disfiguring and dangerous disease"

BA.3.2 might mark a step towards endemic coronaviruses rather than the next dominant variant.

‘Australian Winter Olympic team has medical protocols in place for any infectious disease or illness & are standard operating procedures for high-performance environments.. Close contacts of the 2 cases.. returned negative results & were administered anti-virals’ www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

Glad to see Australia taking this seriously.

BA.3.2 is behaving differently than any of the other variants we've seen. I've been wondering for some time if this is our first example of co-circulation, where only part of the population is susceptable to infection. It is starting to look stabilized in Germany, does not look like a sweep.

"Ifølge Sigrún A. J. Schmidt vil det formentlig være mere effektivt at sætte ind på et endnu tidligere tidspunkt i sygdomsudviklingen, nemlig ved at vaccinere mod skoldkopper. Selv om skoldkoppevaccinerede i princippet godt kan få helvedesild, er risikoen lille og tilfældene typisk mildere."

Yup - se også:

"I Norge anbefaler den norske sundhedsstyrelse, Folkehelseinstituttet, at helvedesildsvaccinen gives til personer over 50 år."

"En ny, dansk undersøgelse af skoldkopper blandt børn under 18 år viser, at mange får langvarige følgevirkninger, og at sygdommen udgør en betydelig byrde for sundhedsvæsenet."

Jeg kan virkelig anbefale afsnittet af podcasten Science Vs hvor de undersøger hvorfor MAGA/MAHA er så vilde med Danmark. Jeg håber virkelig det fører til noget selvransagelse i det danske sundhedssystem! podcasts.apple.com/dk/podcast/s...

Det Lundgren siger her angående Covid 19 vaccination til børn var for lav - passer vel heller ikke. Det blev besluttet af bla. ham selv - at den ikke skulle være tilgængelig for nogen som helst børn. Det var ikke pga manglende tilslutning...

Har set den. Jeg er målløs. Det er en rigtig ækel virus og Lundgreen fokuserer blot på herd immunity. Nogle medicinere tænker kun i populationer, men det enkelte barn, der får vaccinen står bare bedre rustet og slipper for latent varicella zoster i kroppen for resten af livet.

Hvorfor vælger DR at benytte to eksperter, der begge er skeptiske overfor, at indføre skoldkoppe-💉 i DK? (Især Graff Stensballe). Hvorfor må vi ikke også høre argumenterne fra af en de mange, der støtter indførelsen? 🤷🏼‍♀️ Stensballe lyder i øvrigt ret RFK Jr-agtig, bl.a. med hendes appeal to nature..

Here's the latest variant picture for Europe (excluding the UK), to mid-January. XFG.* "Stratus" remained just dominant, but fell to 38%. NB.1.8.1.* "Nimbus" grew sharply to finish at 32%. BA.3.2.* "Cicada" fell to 19%. #COVID19 #SARSCoV2 #EUR 🧵

Here's the latest variant picture with a global scope, to mid-January. XFG.* "Stratus" continued to dominate, but fell to 56% frequency. NB.1.8.1 "Nimbus" grew to 28%, mostly driven from Western Europe. BA.3.2.* "Cicada" was flat at 5%, #COVID19 #SARSCoV2 #Global 🧵

There is a significant overlap of ppl with asthma and autoimmune/ auto-inflammatory diseases. So, this is very interesting 👀

Whether a scientist or a science-informed citizen, I think we are all facing the same level of denial. I have family/friends who went from asking me everything they could imagine about covid to unceremoniously no longer speaking to me because I’m a covid-informed scientist. I haven’t changed. 🫤

If you want to protect yourself and your children from this, you need to be wearing respirators. There are good options for kids these days-Flomask for littles, Wellbefore & Zimi for older kids all come to mind.

Never mind jobs you had, tell me five classes you took at university 1: Scientific Theory 2: Research Methodology  3: Personality Psychology 4: Cognitive Psychology 5: Work Psychology

How to identify a bot account: 1. Check all profiles before engagement. 2. Limited posting 3. Repetitive phrasing 4. Often extreme views 5. Multiple accounts linked with similar names with subtle deviations. 6. Responses often similar to other accounts. 7. Limited personal details 8. Block

I truly do not understand why the media provides the mad king with an audience.

AKA the Swedish strategy.

We've known this for SIX YEARS. Don't let anyone try to tell you that this is somehow new information. The best time for your family to wear respirators and stop getting COVID is today. 😷

Mysterious. Doctors are puzzled. (Not really. Doctors don't spend a lot of time reading journals.)

I remember six years ago when a cardiothoracic surgeon Tweeted that getting COVID does the same damage to your body as 5-10 years of pack-a-day smoking. And that was very early on before we knew about all of the other damage COVID does to our bodies and before we could study repeat infections.

As we waited to check out the man in front of me looked at my cart and asked: “you also getting ready for what’s coming?” and I nodded at which point he asked “what’s with the mask?” and I responded “I’m staying ready for what’s already happening.”
