The surgical mask shown in this article will do almost nothing to reduce particulate inhalation because it's just a splash guard. Wear a well-fitted respirator N95 or better

Watching Senator Jordon Steele-John intermittently raging at and patiently schooling a row of NDIA and Health bureaucrats and TEARING them a new one is perhaps the best thing I have ever watched. MASTERFUL. www.linkedin.com/posts/dr-geo...

A thread on why the WHO's resurrection of a need for close contact as a condition for infections to transmit is a relapse into a Medieval model of contagionism long discredited by Koch.

There was an ancient debate over the origin of epidemics between miasmatists (non-contagious bad air arising in the environment) vs contagionists (infectious spread person-to-person). The scientific debate is over, but the political grounds driving the polarisation remain alive today. 🧵

It’s odd why medicine doesn’t get the engineering principles behind respiratory protective equipment. “But there’s no RCT to prove the predictions made by aerosol physics have clinical impact”.

“Smear microscopy is basically how we’ve been diagnosing tuberculosis since 1882, and I really think it’s time to say goodbye” @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social nailed it!! It really is time to offer a WHO approved rapid molecular test to all people with presumed tuberculosis!!

Australian scientist who alerted world that Covid is airborne wins top science prize www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

The world learned a painful lesson during COVID; respiratory infections are airborne. This changes a great deal - especially the need for better indoor air quality and high quality masks. If there was a single most important person responsible it was Prof Morawska. www.abc.net.au/news/science...

Australia: "Deaths due to acute respiratory infections" Published: 30/09/2025 Deaths registered by 31 August 2025: 🔹1,703 - COVID deaths 🔹898 - Influenza deaths 🔹345 - RSV deaths COVID remains the top cause of acute respiratory infection deaths in 2025 — nearly 2× influenza and almost 5× RSV.

Today the Tas Govt officially binned the Planning Commission’s damning report into the proposed Mac Pt AFL stadium. But if the knuckleheads actually knew anything about ‘future prosperity’, they’d be focussed instead on essential infrastructure and services #auspol #politas

The quote I come back to the most these days is Voltaire's "Whoever can compel you to believe absurdities can also compel you to act unjustly." (That's a loose translation though not as loose as Torrey's common "Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.”)

If the legislation passes, the Australian CDC will start as a standalone agency on 1 January 2026, building on the groundwork and achievements of the interim Australian CDC.

I never thought the damage done to public health and CDC by Trump 1.0 around could be worse. Yet with Trump 2.0. we are seeing harm beyond what we ever imagined — not only is it devastating to watch but it will have repercussions in generations to come.

Important result from CDC research team: H5N1 flu virus from a dairy farm worker transmitted by direct contact in ferrets with 100% efficiency (6/6 animals infected) and by droplets/aerosols in ferrets, physically separated, with 50% efficiency (3/6 animals infected). wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/...
