Excellent article. I fear the future of society as more of the damage from COVID manifests itself. I expect healthcare collapse as a big possibility, along with societal collapse at the extreme end as economies fail. www.blog.brittanijamesmd.com/p/long-covid...

Man Develops Controversial Theory After Not Liking Existing Explanation

🧵👇 @daniellebeckman.bsky.social @putrinolab.bsky.social @thesicktimes.org @davidjoffe64.bsky.social

What happens when you write a letter to an ethics board about concerns over a Long COVID trial? The ethics committee sends a response to an entirely different group of people and tells you to contact them to get a response! My commentary for @thesicktimes.org thesicktimes.org/2026/06/02/r... 1/n

In what universe is this not grounds for immediate expulsion

Hey @wired.com, how about interviewing neuroscientists who are really studying the brains of people with #LongCovid? "When the brain gets stuck in a feedback loop of fight or flight" What does that even mean? Patients deserve explanations grounded in biology, not vague buzzwords. #Pseudoscience

Long Covid Estimate Revised Up After Researchers Include People With Long Covid

Long Covid Reframed As Fight-Or-Flight Loop By People In Ignore-And-Deny Loop

The inability to understand close range aerosol transmission is going to do me in

SARS1 Commission report (2007); aerosol scientists In Grouo of 36 stating the science in early 2020; Clear SARS2 f**k up UK COVID Inquiry Module 3 testimony & report All should have caused a paradigm shift. But even for ebola, have not The issue is intransigence and arrogant, wilful ignorance.

IF unique ebola property is that it 'sticks' in your lungs so well, no exhalable infectious respiratory aerosols are generated 🤔 then, I guess that's cool & --> inhalable multi-disease treatment that blocks creation of infectious respiratory aerosols. Sounds like magic SARS2-🚫ing school walls tho.

UK COVID Inquiry Module 3 Ch 1& 2 "belief that it was possible to distinguish clearly between droplet and aerosol transmission – and the precautions required as a result – were and are wrong. 🚨They should no longer be relied on in healthcare guidance."🚨

You have learned less than nothing @WHO 😱 This is criminal doubling down on droplet / contact garbage. AEROSOLS. THROUGH. THE. AIR. AIRBORNE. Respiratory protection required. bsky.app/profile/bean...

No mention of respiratory protection.

I’ve started a new dataviz project, to analyse detailed data on the current Ebola outbreak. I’ve integrated some of the detailed data that is being gathered by the DRC’s Institut National de Recherche Biomédicale (INRB) and collaborators under this amazing project: github.com/INRB-UMIE/Eb... 🧵

Re: fomite transmission, "...final step is contaminated hands touching nose, mouth or eyes...despite this assumption being at heart of global IPC policy...no satisfactory physical mechanism exists to explain how virus particles transfer from hands to..receptors in nasal cavity & respiratory tract"

A paradigm shift had occurred re: airborne transmission, that even those who’ve spent entire careers studying infectious disease are grappling with. This has far-reaching implications that don’t erase the importance of the other factors you’ve mentioned, rather what we know about how each behaves.

And yes, I know that study concludes aerosol transmission from lungs is uncertain but it was 2019, before the great leap in aerosol understanding catalyzed by SARS2. We know now - lung involvement--> exhaled infectious aerosols.

Also, "it was a new disease" is precisely the dangerously lame excuse that aerosol scientists have debunked. The laws of physics don't GAF what disease it is. NVM the Precautionary Principle spelled out so clearly in Canada's SARS1 Commission reports.

And I'm still trying to follow whether those putting forth this argument believe this means N95s should be recommended (Of course they should - OMFG. Lack of availability, comfort, etc are bulls**t reasons. The science is the science. The rest is politics. Yes, FFS, we should fly planefuls to DRC)

We are at the: "I concede this disease causes humans to generate infectious aerosols, which infect other people who breathe them IN, but no infectious aerosols are breathed OUT by an infected patient" stage of the "I effed up SARS2 being airborne but still need to cover my a**" stage of the debate

Let's check in on the real, physical world again: (Obviously, putting hands spattered in pathogen-containing fluids directly into another patients body a la Semmelweiss is bad! But touch transmission via intermediate object is much less likely. Need to revamp ALL of IPC!) bsky.app/profile/bean...

After a life-changing infection with COVID-19 one semester into her graduate degree, Kayli Jamieson dedicated her research to Long COVID studies and community advocacy. Now graduating this month, Kayli will be continuing her research here at SFU! Read the full story: www.sfu.ca/communicatio...

I’m finally graduating! It was a difficult journey doing a MA degree with #LongCOVID. My thesis examined the biopolitics of pandemic & Long COVID reporting in Canadian newspapers over time. I examined discourses of “vulnerability” and risk, and shared patient-informed reccs to improve LC reporting!

And yes, I know that study concludes aerosol transmission from lungs is uncertain but it was 2019, before the great leap in aerosol understanding catalyzed by SARS2. We know now - lung involvement--> exhaled infectious aerosols.

I think I need a T-shirt.

Cannot believe some people are now freakin' arguing ebola is airborne BUT not an airborne disease because it can't infect you if you inhale it.

I guess terminology is the issue here?But how is breating in aerosolised fomites not airborne, airborne describes the medium where the disease agent is transmitted - just like bloodborne, waterborne, foodborne - no matter what the source of the emission is. www.undrr.org/understandin...

oh, look! the 'Freedom 250' concert that no one wants to perform at is just another sleazy scam. Donny gets a slice of every corporate donation and every ticket sold. I know, you're SHOCKED. thank you for your attention to today's post, in which I lay it all out. link is here: bit.ly/49sEoGg

Brain retraining is pseudoscience garbage and wired should be ashamed of itself for publishing this crap.

We know now that we don't have to revisit the "is it airborne" debate for each disease, which actually makes designing mitigation easier!! The laws of physics apply, regardless of pathogen. We know now droplet/close contact = close range &/or long duration aerosol exposure.

@ipaccanada.bsky.social is merely a registered charity. Their power is in their heads and the con they've pulled in the med field & on public. Demand that PHAC President Nancy Hamzawi, trained as chemical engineer, put these 🤡 in their place. Enough with their anti-science, anti-CSA bull💩.

This is the most dangerously nonsensical statement 😱 (she's quoting Rasmussen). Ebola patients produce inhalable infectious aerosols from respiratory actions, vomiting, diarrhea, blood spray. HCW produce them during cleaning. Look below for more evidence in a few min.

We need criminal charges laid against IPAC leaders, under Westray at least. I realize this isn't used much as most prosecutors don't care to understand the complexity (and we have a culture of putting the well-connected above the law), but it's right there and this is exactly what it's for.
