Been a little while since I've been here... What's shakin, bébés?

Good news, everyone... it's just a mild #PublicHealth apocalypse! 🫠

#StudyOfTheDay Stopping masking & testing was associated with a 25% increase in hospital-onset respiratory viral infections, and resuming masking among staff was associated with a 33% decrease. Almost like WE SHOULD HAVE KEPT #MASKS IN HEALTHCARE, n’est ce pas?! #MasksWork #BringBackMasks

"A new meta-analysis of studies involving more than 14 million people shows that COVID-19 vaccination is associated with a lower risk of developing long COVID, with 2 doses reducing the odds by 24% and 1 dose reducing the odds by 15%." #LongCovid

I for one am thrilled that some of the lil #TrollBabies have found their way here… #ComeToMama 🥰

#StudyOfTheDay from The Lancet: First study of its kind measuring #Covid shedding with and without face coverings in infected humans in real-world conditions of #mask and #respirator use with no fit testing. Reductions reached as high as 98 percent! #MasksWork, bébés. 😷 #CovidIsNotOver

Thank all that is holy for Bluesky 🦋

The Omicron wave of covid was 10x more deadly for unvaccinated Americans — empowering anti-vaxxers like RFK is clearly a threat to American public health.

Our neighbour just informed us that her hubby is in hospital with #pneumonia and that the whole fam got it, even though they were sick last month. "It makes no sense!" How long are we supposed to pretend it's all a CoMpLeTe MyStErY? #CovidIsntOver #ImmuneDysregulation

#StudyOfTheDay “Researchers found that essential workers who received a third COVID-19 monovalent mRNA vaccine dose had lower odds of long-COVID–related gastrointestinal, neurologic, and other symptoms than unvaccinated participants, by 63%, 44%, and 52%, respectively.” #GetVaccinated

Let me say something that is controversial because our brains are broken: Vaccines are a miracle and amazing

Sounds accurate.

Good morning, #Muffins! Happy The-World-Is-Burning to those who celebrate.

GET ALL OF YOUR VACCINES NOW PEOPLE.

Stephen King, master of the horror novel, just quit Twitter because it'd become too "dark." That's how horrifying Twitter is right now. There may never be a more perfect expression of this fact.

YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO, #MUFFINS!!!! 👇👇👇👇👇

Listening to James Horner's always amazing Star Trek II score and thinking about this:

Hi lovely friendos, question for the parents among you: how are you keeping v young kiddos #covidsafe? A good friend is wondering how to protect his toddler, any advice? @1goodtern.bsky.social @realnosferatu.bsky.social @meetjess.bsky.social @barryhunt008.bsky.social @drseanmullen.bsky.social

If they want to take our healthcare back to 1955, they should pay income taxes like its 1955 too

We should crowdfund this

The Senate *hates* Matt Gaetz. This is going to be an early check on whether or not they’ll be a realistic check on Trump’s power or if they’ll just roll over and do what he wants. But the fact that a coked up pedo was even nominated for AG is insane.

😂🤣💀🎀... 😈😈😈

🤢

Thoughts and prayers, Nicky. 🎀

1/3 OMFG IF AN OIL COMPANY IS FUCKING CALLING THE ALARM ON TRUMP'S PLANS TO DESTROY OUR WATER, AIR & PLANET, YOU KNOW WE ARE FUCKING DONE Oil giant ExxonMobil opposes Trump’s plans to pull out of the Paris climate agreement, a company spokesperson told CNN in a statement.

I blame the bird that got stuck in the large hadron collider years ago.

Bluesky adds 700,000 new users in a week as sm users flee Trump, Musk and Twitter disinformation. Huge influx from US and UK means 14.5 million users are now here. Watch that figure climb. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

#StudyOfTheDay: This study found #unvaccinated ppl who had Covid were at a **significantly** higher risk of cardiovascular complications compared to #vaccinated ppl. #VaccinesWork #GetVaccinated #StaySafe #LoveYous🎀

Dear #SillyAntivaxxers…

Facts.

I've made a Covid conscious starter pack called "Salting the Vibes" - voices on advocacy and/or science 🧬 go.bsky.app/5871Mhv

A completely non-comprehensive Starter Pack of COVID-19 pandemic information and even humour: go.bsky.app/AhJ8jjR

Musk is starting to freak out about Blue Sky, expect Bsky links to start breaking or be marked as unsafe on X. Being here is a major blow to the regressives attacking democracy. That doesn't mean we'll be safe as they aren't far behind, however this space will at least give you a fighting chance.

How I arrived at Bluesky 🎀

Healthcare is a human right. Pass it on.

Twitter is dead. Bluesky is alive. #onted #onpoli #NeverVoteConservative

Amen.
