"This means our unvaccinated population is growing." Some very concerning points being raised here.

"...the findings suggest inter-room COVID-19 aerosol transmission." Aerosols are a continuum of sizes, they don't all fall to the ground. Focusing only on droplets or large aerosols while ignoring small aerosols, was always... wrong.

"If I set an exam question on likely impacts of repeated, persistent infection of kids with a p53-suppressing virus [COVID], cancer would be the #1 answer. Why is this not being taken more seriously? Is there some evidence I missed that says it'll be fine? Well, #MedSky?!

Six years, and they still haven't updated infection prevention guidelines.

3/ We show that this assumption is premature. Extending life expectancy estimates through 2024 for 34 high-income countries, we find that five years after the pandemic’s onset, 31 countries remain below their expected trajectories as projected by Lee-Carter forecasts.

mRNA vaccines been studied for decades and are held to the same rigorous safety standards as other vaccines. COVID-19 mRNA vaccines have been found safe and highly effective at preventing serious illness & death from COVID-19. Learn more about mRNA & COVID vaccines: www.niaid.nih.gov/diseases-con...

The drumbeat’s getting a little louder. Thank you @fdsignifier.bsky.social. “I have some shocking and sad news for you all. COVID never really ended and you all should probably still be wearing masks.”

Six years since the official declaration of the ongoing pandemic & all we’ve managed to do is regress. I fear for all our futures. #MaskUpFightBack

COVID is an infection acquired via the respiratory route, primarily transmitted via inhalation of infectious aerosols. That doesn't mean it's just a respiratory infection. Similarly, no longer having respiratory symptoms doesn't mean you've cleared the infection. #medsky #scisky #longCOVID

It's absolutely bonkers that we learned with clarity that we can dramatically reduce or even possibly eliminate many respiratory viruses & we choose to embrace them instead.

It’s wild how fast things are getting worse since society was allowed to be more casually violent. Disability rights activists were right from the beginning of the pandemic.

Fined for poor training on infection control. SARS-CoV-2 is airborne yet infection control policies still have not been updated.

I’m sure the only impact of the fine will be to make it harder for St Basil’s to afford staff training. Meanwhile, the boneheads in the Commonwealth Department of Health who failed to advise St Basil’s that COVID is an airborne disease have not been investigated.

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...

Accumulating damage and not immunity. Something I would have thought obvious prior to, waves hands at the last six years.

Filter change day at our primary care clinic! 3-4 times a year I go change the prefilters or filters on 12 air cleaners in our clinic. We have grown from solo practice to multiple primary care providers. Air cleaners in every room + free respirators for all; masks required.

3/ How many studies have said this, & how many governments have followed this advice 👇 "This study highlights the urgent need for long-term immune monitoring after SARS-CoV-2 exposure".

1/ "Our findings redefine SARS-CoV-2 infection as a condition of long-lasting immune compromise": Via @virussucks.com www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

" “In many respects covid-19 is a vascular disease masquerading as a respiratory one,” says Andy Benest, vascular biologist at the University of Nottingham." "

🚨 New study: “Over 42% of active-duty military personnel who contracted COVID-19 developed long-lasting post-COVID syndrome—dominated by pulmonary, neurological, & fatigue issues… The cohort was predominantly male (74.1%), young (mean age 31.3 years)…”

For no reason whatsoever, just thinking about how infections would be handled by IT security vs oh, I don't know, medicine and public health advice after six years of SARS-COV-2.

1/ Just a reminder that - "We found that a staggering 90% of people living with #LongCOVID initially experienced only mild illness with #COVID-19": theconversation.com/long-covid-s...

Wastewater levels for Ontario, released today, March 6th, 2026…otherwise known as “during COVID” wwater.ca/Ontario

Let’s talk again about how the press are really gaslighting on COVID. 1. Asymptomatic doesn’t necessarily mean harmless- 49% get these infections. 2. Any COVID infection, however seemingly mild carries health risks. 3. Much of the media continues to just talk about the symptoms of the infection,

Life expectancy is one of the parameters I was keeping an eye on… and warned about years ago before we “opened up” in Australia. We’ll see how this plays here, but I’m very sad for my country of birth.

The real harms of the unchecked spread of airborne illness have never been made transparent to the public. And so here we are today, in ignorance. This season only about 50% of the people who got flu vaccines got their covid vaccine. Intentional downplaying of harms of covid continues to harm us.

move slow and repair things

Highlighting this Retraction Watch article because it's both incredibly serious, and just the tip of the iceberg. This reflects a culture of sloppiness and self-interest that is far too widespread in clinical "science" circles, from the "5-micron error" to shoddy evidence synthesis practices. See 🧵

Alt headline: Pediatricians who continue to believe that children do not deserve testing and diagnoses continue to overprescribe antibiotics.

So tell me @cmadocs.bsky.social - where do fictional 'clinical vignettes' fall in the good ole Evidence<cough>-Based Medicine hierarchy?! #MedSky

we protected my mom from COVID for 5 years. She caught it at the hospital during an outbreak in the dialysis ward (!!) and died 5 days later. we will do nothing with this information as a society

I guess we can't have nice things like a mailbox conveniently located outside the post office, with no lines, accessible 24/7, and pickup times that aren't just aspirations.

“I realized then that people understand a ‘personal responsibility’ approach to Covid is bullshit. Because when you suggest they take personal responsibility for causing harm to others, they can’t handle it.”

The people that should care, don't. They consulted with their lawyers and were given the go ahead to not care.

“These findings suggest that immune dysregulation may contribute to silent post-coronavirus disease 2019 cardiac dysfunction [in children]…” #COVID

I’m going to open my DMs for one week. Please can you drop me a line if you have contracted any hospital acquired infection (at least you think it happened in hospital) in New South Wales.

"... existing ‘droplet precautions’ should continue to be used to prevent direct deposition of respiratory particles, but personnel may still be vulnerable to infection via airborne transmission/inhalation if the pathogen can also transmit via this mode." Is this not an admission that droplet...

@who.int Any updates on the elucidations?

When a research librarian knows more than most of the membership of @cmadocs.bsky.social & @ipaccanada.bsky.social -

As a Long COVID sufferer who has already had a COVID induced heart attack, pretty much everything she is saying is accurate. Everyone needs to protect themselves from airborne pathogen spread, and governments (as well as big business) are NOT providing us with clean indoor air to reduce spread.

“The Public Health Agency of Canada’s Nosocomial (hospital-acquired) Infection Surveillance Program provides the weekly percentage of admitted patients who were infected with COVID, influenza or RSV during their hospitalization for another medical reason.” montrealgazette.com/opinion/lett...

“Everyone doing something bad doesn’t make it okay. It just makes everything shittier.” #COVID

reminds me of the time a highly-credentialed anthony fauci admitted he caught COVID because he couldn’t stand feeling out of place among his unmasked alumni kval.com/news/nation-...

"I didn't want *all this*, I just wanted to pretend covid is over so I can go around without an N95 and not feel guilty about all the people I'm putting at risk" Wear An N95

It's the latter kind of bravery we most need -- the kind that prevents horrors from happening in the first place. The kind that doesn't get you parades, it gets you sneers & snide remarks. The kind that's dreary & unrewarding.

She so hierarchical that she truly thinks certain calibers of people are safer. And others are basically the diseased.

"Her defense is "all the peeps i hang w r vaxed" how does she get 2 her conference? airports? Hotels? Restaurants? Ubers? Or does she have a private airport & conference compound? ..." bsky.app/profile/frui...

A war's worth of dead and we didn't mourn them properly. The psychic damage it's done to us is breathtaking.

I did a paper on how we reacted to the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918 and we did a similar thing after it and ww1 ended (okay everyone act like nothing happened). Anyway everyone going completely bonkers in the 1920s is probably unrelated lolsob
