When outcomes shift after intervention, the link becomes clearer. youtu.be/uGtU_gSCANo?...

Historically, medicine has learned by analogy. youtu.be/uGtU_gSCANo?...

Biological Plausibility - mechanisms matter. youtu.be/uGtU_gSCANo?...

Dose-Response: more exposure; more risk. youtu.be/uGtU_gSCANo?...

Coherence - epidemiology and biology should tell the same story. youtu.be/uGtU_gSCANo?...

Specificity is a weak criterion for complex exposures like Covid. Covid is NOT specifically linked to any one outcome. youtu.be/uGtU_gSCANo?...

Consistency across studies matters. When independent researchers find the same signal, we need to pay attention. youtu.be/uGtU_gSCANo?...

Temporality is essential. The exposure must come before the outcome. youtu.be/uGtU_gSCANo?...

Strength of Association matters - larger effects are harder to dismiss. youtu.be/uGtU_gSCANo?...

In medicine, we rarely rely on a single study. It's the totality of the evidence that matters. youtu.be/uGtU_gSCANo?...

Kelly, thank you for your expert knowledge and encouragement!

Six years ago WHO declared COVID-19 a pandemic. Despite tens of millions of deaths, the world has not sufficiently addressed the ongoing impacts of COVID-19, and we are more vulnerable to future pandemics due to anti-science officials leading government agencies around the world.

Doctors: does Covid cause long-term harm? Let's examine the evidence. 🧵 1/4 youtu.be/uGtU_gSCANo?...

Looking forward to it! 🙏

Stay tuned - Part 2 coming soon.

This is great!

Stop. Reflect. Beware.

This is an amazing thread - comprehensive and succinct. We knew SO much about COVID's pathophysiology and transmission in 2020! I look forward to seeing more from @itsmeder.bsky.social. 🙏👏

Exactly!

Calling all Australians who want safer healthcare: please consider completing this brief survey. Even if you simply answer "bring back masks in healthcare" for every question, that would be a huge help. 🙏 www.surveymonkey.com/r/5PWCFTJ

letsair.org/documents/2-... Here's a wonderful collaborative effort to explain and amplify the importance of airborne disease transmission and mitigation. Well done, @nousaerons.bsky.social!

Massive announcement! We have a huge opportunity to take Safer shared air to UN Climate Week – but we can only do it with your help. Support our crowdfunding campaign to make this happen by donating or sharing our post. Click here 👉 globalcall.saferairproject.com #LivedExperienceMatters #UN

The deadline for the Canadian Respirator Standard is fast approaching. If you'd like to make a submission, here's an excellent resource: 🧵1/2 donoharmbc.ca/national-sta...

If a health care worker can see I'm wearing a respirator and doesn't offer to put one on themselves, asking them to wear one is only ever counter productive ime. I have no interest in wasting my limited energy on arguing with someone with a duty of care who is willfully looking away from eugenics.

Hospitals should be safe. Patients and their carers shouldn’t have to fight for infection prevention. EVERYONE DESERVES SAFE ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE. @pandemicresistance.bsky.social 🧵1/4

It goes without saying, yet it needs to be said: EVERYONE DESERVES SAFE ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE. @pandemicresistance.bsky.social 🧵1/6

“If HCWs wear N95 respirators and surgical masks throughout [the treatment], the total infection risk can be reduced by 94.7 % and 53.9 %, respectively.” www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

If you work in healthcare, wear a mask. If you’re going to a hospital, wear a mask. If you see your patient masking, don’t accuse them of anxiety. Don’t try and make them take off their mask. Don’t punish them with substandard care.

Doctors and healthcare professionals: there are consequences to your actions. Airborne pathogens are often transmitted asymptomatically. Choose to protect your patients by wearing a well-fitting N95 mask. Everyone deserves safe access to healthcare. @pandemicresistance.bsky.social

Worth your time.

Thank you @n95anaesthetist.bsky.social for this great piece of #scicomm for your peers. I hope it is watched and acted upon widely.

Great 7 minute listen highlighting some common myths regarding COVID from a physician following the science. Appreciate especially how she points out that COVID is not just a risk for “the vulnerable.”

A wonderful interview with Dr Nancy Malek on ‪@abc-news.bsky.social focused on common myths about COVID. It's short and accessible, so excellent to share. Both New Zealand and Australia have rising levels of Flu and Covid this Winter, so the science here is important. #CovidMyths #CovidScience

Great great interview form @n95anaesthetist.bsky.social and debunking COVID myths. Highly recommend it.

Thank you to @abc-news.bsky.social for having me on Sydney Breakfast Radio yesterday to dispel some common myths about COVID 🧵1/5 vimeo.com/1098792353

This is all too common in hospitals, and it's unacceptable. Patients need to be heard, and to feel safe. Everyone deserves safe access to healthcare.

This wonderful initiative continues. Thank you @pandemicresistance.bsky.social for highlighting the stark deficiencies of the hospital system. Everyone deserves safe access to healthcare.

Doctors: how is this acceptable? First, do no harm! Thank you @pandemicresistance.bsky.social for giving these patients a voice. Everyone deserves safe access to healthcare.

"Wearing an N95 mask reduces the inhalation risk of spherical-type microplastics by 25.5 times compared with not wearing a mask." Isn't THAT interesting?? www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Congratulations! Thank you for advancing our understanding of airborne disease transmission. This is how you challenge and shift droplet dogma! #COVIDisAirborne

To be clear, this understanding went against decades of aerosol science assumptions. As such, we knew that we needed to prove this. And so, we did. We altered the CO2 levels in the air and found that increasing the acid content of the air (CO2) led to an increase in aerostability.

We just had an article published in ACS Central Science on the how the pH of exhaled aerosol evolves over time. As we’ve previously reported, respiratory aerosol pH (high pH!) is a driver of SARS-CoV-2 decay. Meaning, understanding the pH dynamics is important for estimating risk.

Thank you for watching and sharing. 🙏

It’s time to ask our newly elected federal representatives to advocate loudly for equitable access to the promised full portfolio of C19 injection options, especially Novavax for the thousands of Australians for whom mRNA is contraindicated. 1/2

We need Novavax in Australia!

This is great. Wish I could share it with my doctors here in the US. #keepmasksinhealthcare

If you wouldn't drink dirty water, why would you breathe dirty air?? Thank you @saferairproject.bsky.social for your efforts and resources.

Thank you for sharing! What a great collection of current research articles. Scroll down to see a fascinating interview featuring @davidjoffe64.bsky.social and @daniellebeckman.bsky.social about how COVID impacts the brain. 🙏

Dr. Nancy Malek @n95anaesthetist.bsky.social is an amazing science communicator. Check out her WHN blogpost whn.global/why-i-still-... and her latest YouTube video:
