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:

"All doctors have a duty of care to learn about covid" 👇

Very comprehensive. Thank you for sharing

Welcome to Australia. Enter at your own risk.

Long Covid is real and debilitating.

We know that covid can cause structural and functional brain changes. I wonder if they'll join the dots... “Far from halving roads deaths as planned, this latest data shows this Strategy has seen fatalities increase 21.9 per cent since its inception.’’

This is an incredibly helpful article for anyone who has POTS or wants to know more about it. 🙏

Doctors: we've accepted too many myths about Covid. My presentation explains why - and gives you the science you're missing. youtube.com/watch?v=GPUT... 🧵1/11

Oh, I hope so. We desperately need aerosol protections and respirator standards in healthcare.

Australian COVID-19 weekly stats update: The risk estimate rose sharply last week to 1.3% “Currently Infectious”, or 1-in-80. It has passed the peak from early January, during the XEC wave. That implies a 31% chance that someone is infectious in a group of 30. #COVID19 #Australia 🧵

I say to my unmasked colleagues, "The current variant is called razor blade throat. Ok, have a nice day!"

I have bad news. There’s something else that accelerates inflammaging. COVID. johnsnowproject.org/insights/tex...

COVID is like smoking. Every infection is doing you harm: “Severe COVID is a coronary artery disease risk equivalent".

Australia: To date, between 500,000 and 1 million Australians have had long COVID, with symptoms lasting 2 years or more in some cases. "Approximately 5-10% of people who get COVID will go on to experience long COVID, often leading to considerable disability." #LongCOVID Source: archive.md/C4PMM

“Reintroducing free Covid-19 tests (Rapid Antigen Tests)” Better still, free access to PCR should be reintroduced to screen for asymptomatic infections during outbreaks to mitigate disease spread.

Many doctors are under the mistaken impression that COVID is over. One by one, we must learn and understand the science - it's our duty of care to do so. whn.global/why-i-still-...
