Thank you to Daniella of the 'Public Health Is Dead' podcast as well as @juliadoubleday.bsky.social (The Gauntlet) for their contributions during this episode! While the episode discusses media coverage of the pandemic in general, there is a fair amount of discussion about impacts on children.

"It’s a vicious cycle; people attend unsafe events. They become #disabled with #LongCOVID. They’re too sick to attend events. They’re too sick to demand safety and #accessibility ..More people drop out of public life.": buff.ly/OTGatVX by @juliadoubleday.bsky.social #LongHauler #disability

Reminder that our government declared COVID magically over not for health or scientific reasons, but because of economic, financial, and political ones.

I just got a message on LinkedIn from someone in the infosec space who reached out to say they appreciated that I shared information about Covid risks. 🎉 Advocacy & sharing info that goes against the (minimizing) mainstream takes time & patience. I'm grateful to have reached one extra person. 🙏

Trying to convince one of my cybersecurity executive friends to purchase & use a respirator on the plane they're taking tomorrow. 😵‍💫 PH has so totally screwed up the messaging on effective mitigations of airborne pathogens. 😡

I used to tweet about this when people got frustrated seeing a physician who frequently and demonstrably got it wrong about Covid interviewed about Covid over and over and over again on broadcast news. It's because he picked up the phone for harried chase producers who are under incredible pressure.

20% off FlowFlex COVlD tests at Pharmalynk. It's the test I trust and the company I've ordered from consistently the past 2 years. Better validity and lower cost than other rapid antigen tests. I do not receive any revenue from any product or company, just a good deal.

I use it - with Paxlovid unless contraindicated - to help decrease viral load fast and decrease risk for viral persistence - added benefit - its clears dead and diseased tissue by apoptosis - to calm inflammation induced by this tissue.

Many diseases were once called “psychological” or “all in the mind”. Again and again, biology later proved otherwise. This thread shows clear cases where medicine got it wrong, then changed its mind once real mechanisms were found.

There’s an exceptionally dark & fucked up history of weaponizing public health in work/detention camps - denied vax/med intervention, unsanitary conditions, poor air circulation, serious over-crowding… effectively letting “nature” take its course 😵 20% of kids with measures require hospitalization.

This was said over and over during the last days and I will repeat it myself: what the Epstein files show is a reflection of a society in which richness and power are seen as "moral value" that allows someone to commit abuse with impunity. We have so many examples of protection of powerful abusers.

Over the next few months it will be important to contact provincial governments to insist on their purchase of the #Novavax vaccine, since procurement is now a provincial responsibility.

This reminds me of when, ~20 yrs ago or so, we were on a private group tour of the NSA, & the presenter insisted to everyone that the NSA never taps calls of citizens, & then a week later, huge reporting came out confirming they did. But yeah, the ads - it's like 5 sec. after you mention a product.

As you watch this time-lapse of a storm rolling over Pondicherry, India by Karthik Easvur, you may spot a sort of rolling wave called an ARCUS or SHELF cloud. It forms as the storm's downdraft, along the leading edge of the moving storm, forces warmer, moist surface air up unto a horizontal 'roll'.

‘These findings are promising but not yet standard practice — metformin is safe and low-cost, but should only be used with medical guidance. Larger trials are needed to confirm this preventive role.’

‘Nothing groundbreaking 🪏 - but it’s extremely important that an increasing 📈 number of independent groups are systematically putting this together 🧱 and framing 🖼️ it as a structural, biologically serious 😬warning ⚠️ - while policy continues to ignore 🫣 ongoing 🧠 brain 🤕injury.’😱
