New feature: Which nextgen Covid vaxes are advancing the most? I highlight 3 in mid- to late-stage trials with manufacturers—including a "universal" Covid vax & a mucosal one—and another 6 vaccines. Plus more trial results & 10 preclinical reports: absolutelymaybe.plos.org/2026/04/02/a...

Ontario primarily sequences samples from the elderly (>50% from 80+) so the numbers in the young are small. Still, we seem the same BA.3.2 pattern: BA.3.2 is only 6.5% of all seqs but 50% of seqs from ages 5-11 & >20% for 0-4 & 12-19. All credit to @paullmma.bsky.social for sharing this data. 1/2

The bottom line is we need to work on the levers of the climate challenge — not just one. All gases, all sources, all timescales. And, if we’re smart, we’ll design a portfolio of solutions that takes advantage of different opportunities to reduce climate disruptions — short-term and long-term.

The fact is, methane has caused about 30% of the warming we have seen to date. And all non-CO2 warming pollution, taken together, has caused about half of the warming so far. And of the CO2 warming we have seen, a big chunk of that has been caused by deforestation.

Ok, we've had multiple studies now showing that Pax doesn't reduce the risk of long COVID and doesn't help most people with long COVID. Move. On. Money is short, and time is of the essence, We have millions of people who've been disabled by long COVID for half a decade or more. We don't have time.

No @mark-carney.bsky.social This is not what Canadians voted for.

“But after tens of billions of dollars of school spending…studies have found that digital tools have generally not improved students’ academic results or graduation rates. Some researchers &organizations like UNESCO even warn that overreliance on technology can distract students and impede learning”

Babies under 6 months are hospitalized for COVID as often as seniors BUT a robust study (N= 146,031) found vaccination during pregnancy reduces hospitalization and, as Dr. Nguyen states, protects babies “before they were old enough to get vaccinated” TY @tom.medsky.social @kevinault.bsky.social

"Getting COVID Again Is More Dangerous Than Most People Realize" "Each COVID-19 infection is a new stress on the body. Repeated infections may increase the risk of long COVID" "What makes getting long COVID especially dangerous is that there is currently no cure for it." Source: archive.md/Re86O

We're not even allowed to treat the Covid Pandemic with any amount of seriousness or weight. It's the biggest gaslight our society continually entertains. So many of us haven't recovered, and we're forced to march on. A common cold doesn't fill hospitals with bodies.

Don't like immune dysregulation? Mask up. Cumulative Covid burden was strongly associated with Invasive Group A strep 🧫 incidence in this ecological preprint by Fisman & team 👏🏼 "Findings are consistent with SARS-CoV-2-associated immune dysregulation" www.medrxiv.org/content/10.6...

Health officials are even actively telling people NOT to wear a mask to protect themselves because they can “create the wrong message” and “spread panic”. If there is even a chance of AEROSOL transmission, this could be extremely dangerous advice. kidneycareuk.org/news-from-ki...

Not a bad idea because we're *still* in the COVID-era

More from the Privacy Commissioner on FOI: “Taking away Ontarians’ access rights— retroactively and into the future— denies them the information they need to understand government decision-making at the highest levels & hold their governments to account.” www.ipc.on.ca/en/media-cen...

This was entirely predictable. And now we are mourning the loss of an Ottawa crossing guard who was just trying to keep kids safe. Shame on the Ford government for putting populist politics over people’s lives. ottawacitizen.com/news/ottawa-...

These people have a funny way of saying "Environmentalists have been proved right yet again."

Oh, I don't blame AI even if it had been used here (as it has been in other war crimes). Either way, it's awful humans to blame. AI just makes everything awful humans want to do that much worse. www.theguardian.com/news/2026/ma...

Socioeconomic disparities in COVID risk in Canada: persistence despite widespread infection risk www.medrxiv.org/content/10.6...

Note the major respiratory target for SARS-CoV-2 identified in early 2020 is the type II pneumocyte. Located in the alveoli, where large droplets cannot penetrate (but fine aerosols can), this made aerosol transmission the obvious null hypothesis - but also... atm.amegroups.org/article/view...

During the Covid inquiry, one of the independent expert witnesses was asked: “Is there any scenario or situation where someone could produce a droplet without also generating significant amounts of aerosols?” Professor Clive Beggs clearly replied: “NO”.

Infection control and public health leaders cannot be trusted to be honest with the public about how pathogens transmit. That sounds shocking, but it's easily verifiable. Their conflicts of interest from their negligence around COVID (confirmed by the UK inquiry) are simply too large. #medsky

The US has racked up 65% as many confirmed #measles cases in 2026 as it did in all of 2025, which had the highest number of cases in 32 yrs. 94% of the cases are outbreak related. 32 jurisdictions have reported cases. 92% of cases were unvaxed or had unknown vax status. www.cdc.gov/measles/data...

Anyone know why medicine is so committed to protecting senior insiders at all costs, even if it burns the credibility of the entire profession to the ground? We could have stopped COVID in 2020 if not for the egos of senior clinicians. Millions dead + #longCOVID 👉Loss of public trust is deserved.👈

Excellent information to the public on Covid and Long Covid. More of this please!

We are at this point in time, overrun with infections because: 1. We have never had the correct guidance in place on COVID. 6 years on and still no layered mitigations in places. 2. COVID vaccines were designed to reduce severity of infection, this wasn’t conveyed well to the public. And because 🧵

CATA (Covid Airborne Transmission Alliance) has today issued this press release ahead of next Thursday's publication of the Inquiry's module 3 report: tinyurl.com/CATA-press-r...

Everything has changed ... except the claims of the fossil fuel lobbyists who infest politics and the media. www.ise.fraunhofer.de/en/press-med...

COVID infections are not harmless. Research shows that initial and repeated COVID-19 infections can increase the risk of long-term health problems affecting multiple organ systems. Preventing infection and reinfection helps reduce these risks. #COVID #LongCOVID #InfectionPrevention #PublicHealth

We cannot stay silent about this as to do so is to be complicit in the illogical & amoral approach of facilitating brain damage as part of the learning experience. “37 % of the undergraduates exhibited impaired cognition up to 17 months post-infection.” www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.

It doesn’t matter whether the rate of global warming is increasing. It’ll never cease to amaze me that people don’t care that it’s happening at all. It should be the most alarming thing ever.

Join us as we spread awareness and support the Long Covid community throughout March. We’ve planned events, a live webinar on disability benefits applications, interviews with experts, lightings of buildings, landmarks and signs, and much more. #LongCovid #ILCAD2026 #LongCovidAwareness 1/2

Scientific American has updated the figure, now grouped into swimmers, fliers, walkers/runners, and vehicles. A person on a bicycle remains the most efficient way to travel, compared to all forms of biological locomotion and mechanical transport. www.scientificamerican.com/article/a-hu...

This completely misunderstands the research process including the point of doing literature reviews. Claude’s “analysis” treats research as paint by numbers regurgitation of pre-existing work. Kustov & folks who share these views need to give up their jobs in favor of those who want to research.
