Ever wonder why it took so long to figure out that #covidisairborne ? In the latest "Public Health is Dead" podcast, they walk you through the strange history of people's understanding of airborne disease. Check it out! (Bonus: I was interviewed for it, which was very cool)

I am most concerned about children, they are the least vaccinated group. Our governments abandoned the precautionary principle. Convinced everyone it was safe but the risks after any reinfection last years: blood vessel damage, clots, neurological damage, heart damage. Risk is cumulative. 🧵

Agree! It's about workplace health, public health, inequality and justice, tackling it will be better for health and economy

Fix the shameful mess of British Statutory Sick Pay (SSP). The UK’s statutory sick pay is the worst in the OECD (38 developed economies). It works out at 18% of the average weekly wage.🤮Only 54% workers get full pay. 🤮28% get SSP. 🤮10% get nothing. Take Action: gmhazards.org.uk/index.php/ne...
