#MedSky “I got COVID in hospital. My kidneys started to back up. Everything seemed to converge at the same time,” he continued. Can we please do something about infection control of airborne disease. People are being hurt by healthcare. People are avoiding care.

What did we learn about COVID in 2020? A thread on studies from the first year..

Ok this is important. A big myths out there is that studies show masks don’t work. When you look at what the studies measured, what they actually show is masks don’t work *if you don’t wear them.* They didn’t measure the tool, they measured the wearers behavior. www.independent.co.uk/news/health/...

This research was carried out in 2021. We are living with unnecessary infections. #CleantheAir Respirators for airborne risk Ffp2 Ffp3 for staff Not gappy FRSM We need masks that seal to the face. www.theguardian.com/world/2021/j...

“The problem with Long COVID is that most of society would rather not see it.” @philipandrewhoover.bsky.social writes that he often feels that he’s living a double life. How can this sick side of him be so central, so enormous, yet so unseen by those who know and love him? bit.ly/4pf80g7

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.

This is without any evidence or data to support it. Cancer existed before COVID vaccines. The rise in early onset cancers- going on for decades- is not linked to COVID vaccines. Follow scientists & medical researchers. Not ppl selling snake oil. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

In response to shifting health policies people keep saying that these changes will lead to preventable illnesses and cause preventable deaths, and it is worth remembering that shifting health policies have led to preventable Covid cases and caused preventable Covid deaths.

The flurry of 70 human infections over the course of 11 months, followed by an abrupt halt, makes scientists wonder how many people may have had H5N1 since February without the public being informed. Read more from @lygianavarro.com: bit.ly/45NqwF8

2. This is the danger of the 'just another respiratory virus' narrative; by not knowing if you've had Covid, you absolutely will not connect any subsequent new-onset chronic health issues you experience to the 'cold' or 'flu' you had previously. And neither will a doctor.

Fantastic news. I hope future generations of healthcare staff never have to face a novel pathogen without respiratory protection again. I'll never forget how hard I had to advocate for this in 2020.

COVID is like smoking. Every infection is doing you harm: “Severe COVID is a coronary artery disease risk equivalent".

The day we decided it didn’t matter if old people died, was the day we all lost our right to age healthily… and it was the first step on the slippery slope to fascism.

If any company is even thinking about banning masks for their employees, here's what I have to say about that. Putting this one in front of the paywall: www.the-sentinel-intelligence.com/p/n95-masks-...

To write this @newstatesman.com column, I asked colleagues about their enduring memories of working on Covid wards. Their messages, sent as voicenotes, had one thing in common: each respondent broke down in tears. What does that rawness mean for today's NHS? 🧵 www.newstatesman.com/politics/hea...

They will tell you that this virus is a dangerous bioweapon that escaped from a laboratory, but if they see you taking any steps to protect yourself from this virus they will tell you that this virus is really just a cold.

The war on public health continues—based on the claim that all government intervention is regulatory “overreach”. For a historical look at how abysmally grim things looked before food regulation came in, read the relevant chapter from “Death in Hamburg”. www.cbsnews.com/news/fda-foo...

Just spoke with my CDC sources. They were in tears. Budgets cut. RFJK has ordered them not to publicize bird flu symptoms in exposed workers. Not to test them. Not to speak. They know people are getting sick. And they’re being forced to stay silent. This is not just a cover-up. It's cruelty.

🫀New research shows that COVID-19 may speed up heart disease by increasing artery plaque buildup and inflammation. Patients with COVID-19 had faster plaque growth and a higher risk of dangerous heart issues. This could help explain the link between COVID-19 and long-term heart problems.

Long COVID Impairs Exercise Capacity and Cognition for Years. "A study of nearly 1,000 people with post-COVID-19 syndrome (PCS) revealed that two-thirds still experienced significant symptoms, including reduced exercise capacity and cognitive performance, two years after infection."

After digging into what's actually being done to prepare for H5N1 bird flu, it occurred to me that the very rich actually might want a bird flu pandemic to happen. It fits with the theme of weaponized incompetence we've been seeing. www.the-sentinel-intelligence.com/p/wait-a-min...

Holiday mixing, schools back, lack of effective indoor ventilation, lower vaccine uptake, mask resistance, and the impact of freezing temperatures. The reality is that increasingly, emergency departments and hospital wards are becoming 'full to bursting'. londonlovesbusiness.com/nhs-wards-fu...
