I hope everyone has a lovely Christmas Day! Merry Christmas & thank you for following. 🎄

This is such a simple message. Why do governments have such a hard time communicating it?

Absolutely! If you really want to explore what Scrooge would be like as a boss in the times of Covid, join us for the audio drama-comedy 'A Covid Christmas Carol' tonight at 6 pm EST!

Policy on health is clearly broken - politicized, out of touch, reactive and slow. My recent keynote at the Canadian Biosafety Symposium took a big-picture look at how and why that's happening, and how we can turn things around. Here's a general-audience version, recorded at the Deep River library.

I think The Express needs to find their Xmas spirit. We're paying £476m for a regime that tear gasses babies & destroys shelters in freezing conditions. We should divert that money to a functioning and fair migration system. Tune in to @boldpolitics.bsky.social at 3pm tomorrow.

It's also why people should wear respirators when in public buildings ― to protect those with suppressed/damaged immune systems. Selfishness has replaced protecting each other.

A man’s pet fish couldn’t swim due to its illness/disability. So he made him a swimming harness. He created an accommodation so his fish could live his best life. This is how it’s done!

Transplant patients take immune-suppressing drugs for the rest of their lives. Whatever vaccine they take, it's nullified by the meds. My wife keeps her COVID shots current, knowing that she likely gets no benefit from them. I don't think many people understand this.

Right wing populism has actively encouraged an attack on science and health preventions.

We are living in a two tier society where those who have underlying health conditions and long covid sufferers are being left behind. It makes no sense because this could happen to anyone.

We need clean air, ffp3 in healthcare and vaccine access for anyone who wants one. Given the levels of sickness they should be giving them away.

I am still shocked that over five years on those who can’t even use vaccines due to medical conditions and are high risk to COVID or have very poor vaccine access, especially for vulnerable children under 12 and poor antivirals are still forgotten. We no longer have an inclusive society.

Oh GB News. Have a day off and enjoy a mince pie. How dare I talk positively about migration & refugee rights at this time of year that should be about *checks notes* good tidings and warm wishes. Tune in at 3pm to watch and judge for yourself. Merry Christmas everyone!

Charles Dickens’s ‘A Christmas Carol’ is ever relevant to our current situation on #COVID and general societal commentary on those living in poverty. “If they would rather die... they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population." “A solitary child neglected by his friends is left

It's just a few days until Christmas and there's still time to spread clean air as well as cheer! Each SA600 Smart Air contributes directly to us. It's an ideal present for loved ones: go.corsirosenthalfoundation.org.uk/76TBlzW #CleanAir #HealthyHoliday

It's an early Christmas present to see this from UK govt advisors: The unique problem of indoor air is now widely recognised as something that can and should, be solved. That matters for all of us. 👇 go.corsirosenthalfoundation.org.uk/sM8OYmK #CleanAir ##CleanTheAirWeShare

Important study shows risk of long covid linked to irregular or limited use of respirators, using public transport to commute and close contact to coworkers (inability to socially distance) . #LongCOVID www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/wor...

I have a lot of respect for the new mayor of New York. They are giving good advice. Why aren’t Labour doing this? 🤷‍♀️

NEW article by @theipaper.com (out tomorrow!) will highlight those who remain shielding for a 5th Christmas (~6 yrs) due to persistent high-risks. The government used the most vulnerable to justify closures, and then left them behind without ever "Learning to live with Covid".

Also worth noting: The highest-risk occupations included health care and social workers, teachers, retail workers, transport workers, and security staff. These groups often remained in close contact with others throughout the pandemic.

Ok. Now had a chance to check and, well, at least some docs do appear to be straight up classic redaction fail. And there are some *interesting* bits here. www.justice.gov/multimedia/C...

It’s the best ad for the NYT that I’ve ever seen

@elhopkins.bsky.social And wore a mask at every one. Unless @frescoleraye.bsky.social was with me, I was often the only person in the audience wearing one; there were never more than a handful. Also on public transport to and from every one. Not exactly "avoiding society"! Never give up the fight.

Merry Christmas! 🎄

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...

A new adenovirus is sweeping the country and it’s untreatable so if you catch it, you just have to tough it out. I read that disinfectants don’t work on it. It will be problematic for those with weakened immune systems. What could possibly go wrong. www.mirror.co.uk/news/health/...
