Gosh. Still the leading cause of acute respiratory infection mortality.

Well now. Who’d’ve thought? 📣 Say it with me now… #VaccinesSaveLives

This video encapsulates 2025 for me. I must've watched it 100 times already. It just gets better.

Great to see @mikehoney.bsky.social ‘s outstanding work in tracking COVID-19 acknowledged by SBS News. I completely agree with @erictopol.bsky.social when he describes Mike’s work as a "remarkable source" of information. www.sbs.com.au/news/article...

New analysis from a WHO global expert committee on vaccine safety has found that, based on available evidence, no causal link exists between vaccines and autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The conclusion reaffirms WHO’s position that childhood vaccines do not cause autism. www.who.int/news/item/11...

A nine-hospital survey finds ICU staff are motivated to act sustainably: median intrinsic time is 5 minutes/day and 59.6% would give ≥5 minutes; awareness, training and intensivist role boost engagement, and recognition can raise effort. zurl.co/qLWKw

Australian scientist who alerted world that COVID is airborne wins top science prize When the WHO falsely claimed in March 2020 that COVID wasn’t airborne, Professor Lidia Morawska took action—organising 239 scientists worldwide to warn about SARS-CoV-2 airborne spread and urge global recognition.

👏Bravo Prof. Morawska 👏 Well deserved 👏 “During the COVID-19 pandemic, Professor Morawska spearheaded efforts to convince health authorities worldwide to recognise airborne transmission of the virus and change infection control practices to combat it.” www.abc.net.au/news/science...

“Science is never settled” sounds reasonable—but it’s often a rhetorical trick to undermine consensus on issues like vaccines or climate change. Science evolves, but some things are overwhelmingly supported by evidence. My latest for Live Science www.livescience.com/... 1/10

New safeguards for Australian sunscreens, because specific ingredients "aren't safe"? Here's what that actually means!

It's that wonderful time of year when new residents are joining the ICU team! Here are a few of my favorite @criticalcaretime.bsky.social infographics to help you understand key concepts: ⚡️Undifferentiated shock 💉 Vasopressors 😮‍💨 The physiologically difficult airway & 🧪 Metabolic acidosis

Few things to chew about modes of care first- I expect they are common across most rare diseases. 1) patient travel hundreds of km for hours, usual in their own car to get to appointments. 45% leave feeling the consultation does not reflect how they feel
