Reminder that the head of the NIH is an economist who has never conducted NIH-funded research, spent years doing paid speaking engagements for far-right extremist groups, & is best known for a study where he committed serious ethical violations & ended up wrong by greater than an order of magnitude.

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: bsky.app/profile/mama...

Finally. A Public Health division released useful public recommendations to helo protect each other from illness spread (including airborne pathogen spread) www.toronto.ca/community-pe...

For years, public health bent under pressure to downplay masks. When the same institutions now say “mask up,” it’s not a flip-flop—it’s a warning. If they’re willing to recommend masks again, the airborne threat is serious.

Sign Clean Indoor Air Toronto's petition to Toronto Public Health to adopt stronger indoor air quality measures! cleanindoorairto.ca

Dr. Ciara Steele explained: “We cannot expect the general public, or institutions like schools and hospitals, to take the appropriate actions to reduce flu transmission if they are not being informed about how it is spreading, and it is mainly spreading through the air that we breathe indoors.”

As the early surge in the so called “super flu” further stresses health care systems across the UK, a GP and co-founder of Clean Air Advocacy Ireland is calling for officials to better communicate that flu can be spread through the air. www.irishmirror.ie/news/irish-n...

Narrator: They did not learn any lessons from COVID. "Wash your hands" and "don't panic" is as far as they ever got with infection control. www.bmj.com/content/391/...

6/ We know what works. We just need to do it. You can read the whole article here: www.bmj.com/content/391/...

5/ The key message? No single measure is enough. Success comes from combining vaccination, isolation support, good ventilation, and clear communication. Governments must make this possible, or we will continue repeating the same cycle every winter.

4/ Ventilation saves lives. Clean indoor air, through ventilation or filtration, dramatically cuts the spread of respiratory infections. It’s time to treat air quality like food hygiene: a basic public health requirement.

🧵1/ Flu is surging again, & patterns look uncomfortably familiar. The lesson from covid remains unchanged: individual responsibility isn’t enough. We need systemic measures that make protective behaviours easy. @profstevegriffin.bsky.social Stephen Reicher & I offer some thoughts @bmj.com

I'm not sure if people realize the murder strikes are taking place across a large region. It's quite staggering. www.newsweek.com/map-us-strik...

The data centre boom is a black hole gravity well sucking resources away from the monetary, physical and human infrastructure of decarbonisation. If you care about 'more tech' this won't bother you. I care about climate outcomes, and this is really bad. techcrunch.com/2025/12/15/f...

AI is destroying our future, part ten million. And all because it's a driver of economic growth, particularly for Americans invested in the stock market, while it makes everything more expensive, hotter, and shittier for everyone else.

Facing a large flu wave, Doctor's Association UK calls for masking and clean air citing unlearned pandemic lessons. dauk.org/flu-wave-nhs...

Read the study and think about population level implications, remembering that the vast majority of people have been infected multiple times. What are the possible long-term neurological sequelae? What are the implications for societies now? news.griffith.edu.au/2025/12/16/c...

People aren't getting it. Carney plans to spend $1.7 billion on recruiting researchers from the US or who would otherwise go to the US. Yay, right? The *entire annual budget* of NSERC is $1.3 billion. And he's cutting that.

The latest #climate update from Copernicus shows that 2025 is on course to be: - joint 2nd warmest year, tied with 2023 and behind 2024 (warmest year) - November 2025 was the 3rd warmest November globally For more: climate.copernicus.eu/copernicus-2... 🌏🌡️⚒️🧪🌊

So, to all the "RFK's got some good ideas" folks (Rachael Bedard, Leana Wen) and Jay Bhattacharya is "an excellent choice for NIH" (Steven Macedo, Frances Lee) and Vinay Prasad "will bring a breath of fresh air to FDA" (Adam Cifu, John Mandrola) groupies--you own this now too.

Professors:

Societal health is a pipe dream. Society expects me to stay healthy in order to be a contributing member, but society does NEXT TO NOTHING to help ensure I stay healthy. Almost 50% of my students are all sick now. So, do teachers become obsolete if all kids are sick? #EveryoneWearAnN95

It's also time to stop using the naturopathic term "natural immunity" and replace it with "disease-acquired immunity" to emphasise all of its disadvantages.

The end of COVID relief and the fact that we changed nothing—no new workplace safety rules, no single-payer, etc.—after over 1 million Americans died represents probably the greatest political scandal of the last 100 years.

People who say we should have unlimited energy so we can do CO₂ removal (CDR) at a massive scale don’t understand that there are so many other factors that prevent scaling of CDR. Among them are geophysical and environmental (land, water, resources, ecosystems), societal, financial, and governance.

In a new leaked memo, the FDA outlined plans to make it much harder to get new vaccines approved, claiming, without sharing evidence, that the COVID vaccines have killed at least 10 children. This is so reckless. The science shows us that COVID vaccines have saved millions of lives.

Yup! 75% of us are considering leaving (/made plans to leave/already left) 😢 🧪 www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

“Public health has already seen the power of innovation in increasing participation… Imagine if vaccination offered a similar range of options: a nasal spray, skin patch, or a traditional shot. That small degree of choice could reframe the question from whether to vaccinate to how.”

It's weird to not only have lived through an information revolution but also now living through its undoing, all within less than a generation.

It’s wild to think that throughout history almost everyone has lived through times where not much really changed and we are living through so much change now.

COVID infections are not mentioned nor is immune dysfunction from C19 leading to other illness. We have also seen an increase in anxiety/panic in kids after being infected. You can only dance around so long before you trip over your own feet. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

There is no such thing as an intelligent report on increasing school absences due to chronic illness and mental health issues that does not lead with a discussion of the out-of-control virus that causes chronic illness and mental health issues. @cbcnews.ca has seriously weird biases about COVID. 🙄

I'm seeing this first-hand. Children are missing more school in 2025 due to repeated COVID infection. The COVID pandemic continues...without any 'public health' protections. Children are becoming disabled as a result.

The elephant in the room is that any effective defence against COVID and other airborne pathogens will end the careers of today's public health and IPC leaders - their only hope to beat charges of negligence is the lie that it was never possible to do better. They cannot afford a success.

Hospitals across Canada are closing their ERs because there aren't enough doctors to run them. Millions don’t have a doctor. Millions more can’t get an appointment. It didn’t used to be this way. Turns out it wasn’t an accident.

What a mystery it is that so many can’t work. Might it be long COVID 🤦‍♀️ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Fix IPC!

Didn't see this at the time, but it definitely speaks to the social engineering bit of re-feudalisation. The monied classes will have functional, literate offspring with access to the High Arts, while the serfs will be socially & intellectually zombified via relentless, force-fed audiovisual slop.
