He was holding a phone not a gun, his crime? Opposing the regime. So they murdered him.

GOOD THING WE KEEP INFECTING ALL THE KIDS! "Subclinical growth faltering may be a delayed consequence of COVID-19 in preschool children, particularly in vulnerable populations" The Unseen Curve: Tracking Hidden Growth Faltering in Post-COVID Preschool Children www.wos-emr.net/index.php/CV...

For anyone who can't figure out why so many infection control docs are still desperately trying to manufacture a narrative that COVID isn't airborne, N95s don't work, and nothing could have been done differently in 2020... ...imagine having to face the guilt for this in the mirror every day.

Do others remember this headline? According to this new JAMA study, the US reaches this incalculable loss annually. I think most of the public doesn't realize it. #IDEpi #EpiSky

The @uwofa1 - University of Western Ontario Faculty Association - is quickly becoming a leader in post-secondary education messaging about the equity implications and importance of masking as an integral layer of C19 and flu mitigation. Let’s show them some love, folks! ❤️🙏

SAD NEWS 😢 My friend's sister is in hospital for a kidney transplant Her husband is the donor There is no mask mandate at the hospital He acquired pneumonia & is in serious condition 10% chance he will lose his life saving his wife BECAUSE HOSPITALS WON'T MASK THE F*CK UP

A lot of doctors out there with no background in epidemiology are trying to be epidemiologists. Just saying'

The sheer dedication to avoiding any mention of COVID when talking about things that we know for certain are heavily impacted by COVID is...impressive. The "after pandemic" bit is a red flag too - someone's either not keeping up, or deliberately trying to manipulate the narrative.

🧵This "public" Nov 5 forum highlights the hypocrisy of public health institutions. Topics include misinformation and public trust, and an attendee sent me this: questions for the panellists must be submitted in advance (so hard ones on e.g. PPE, aerosols etc can be censored). ubccdc.med.ubc.ca

Canada is leading in safety with the new draft of the CSA standard on respirators. @dickzoutman.bsky.social, @juliamwright.bsky.social, @mark-ungrin.bsky.social, and I explain key updates that bring protections up to date with the evidence on respirator use against airborne disease transmission.

It’s getting louder. Slowly but surely the big institutions are catching up. C19 damage is making it into the medical mainstream. People have published it for a long time, now it’s turning up in teaching materials, public announcements. It’s getting louder.

Spoiler 1: The news is that this poster won first place. 🥇 Spoiler 2: This is because people are hungry for truth, rigour, accountability, and positive change. 👇👇👇

A new development in the sociological experiment of denial, backlash, and normalization: The moms are piling on the poor soul who sought suggestions to on how to get HEPAs into the classroom. 🧵

"’This suggests a need for a robust approach to HAI prevention among hospitalized patients with COVID-19 to prevent MRSA bacteremia, a finding that may also be relevant for future pandemic preparedness planning,’ they wrote.” www.cidrap.umn.edu/antimicrobia...

I haven’t eaten inside a restaurant since February 2020. Why? ~400,000 peer-reviewed journal articles.

“This study confirms that SARS-CoV-2 can persist in the semen of patients who have recovered from COVID-19…the male genital tract may be a reservoir for the virus. …highlights the need for further research into the reproductive implications of COVID-19… .” www.auajournals.org/doi/abs/10.1...

Stop saying “post covid”. People are confusing the end of the public health emergency with the end of the pandemic. The pandemic is not over. “During COVID” is now. If we want to end it, we need to first acknowledge this fact. Then mask up, clean the air & develop better vaccines & treatments.

For those who thought Omicron was the "off ramp" to reopen schools and go back to work. Kids and cardiac sequelae. Over a million in the study. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

There’s a really good Sarah Kendzior quote that comes to mind. @sarahkendzior.bsky.social

It's great to see these protests nationwide. Keep at it. Don't bow down, don't submit -- don't ever stop looking out for each other.

People often ask what a coalition of 200,000 can do. The answer’s simple — with all our free time (since a lot of us got fired), we’re out here causing a lot of good trouble.

The corporate coup is global. Trump's mad tariffs do not mark the end of neoliberalism or free trade or whatever you want to call it. They mark the end game of what we have been fighting for decades: corporate rule. They do not believe in the public. They believe in their wealth.

🧵 Quackery thread: Folks often view those taken in by the "wellness" mvmt. as foolish & gullible, suspicious of science, & (in important ways) different from who *we* are. But, until now, those folks have also inc. many who are simply intimidated or frightened by the challenges of real treatment;

Exactly.

🚨 COVID-19 may Enduringly Impact Cognitive Performance and Brain Haemodynamics in Undergraduate Students 🚨 Not a cold. Not no big deal. Not *just* a threat to the “vulnerable.” This is brain damage.

6 year old can tell you alllll about the Kuiper Belt. I just asked him what he thinks about the Super Bowl. “Is it, like, a giant bowl that people cook in or something?”

I do wonder if the average American realizes there’s an actual coup occurring. Or does that only happen in those other countries…?

We’ve known this for years. Is it any wonder that long COVID is being underfunded and relatively ignored? Whatever disproportionately impacts women is pushed to the side through victim-blaming, psychologizing, and generally desensitizing others to their plight www.news-medical.net/news/2025012...

‘Compared with the pre-COVID condition, the COVID group had greater severity of inattention, somatic complaints, thought problems, internalizing problems, poor school functions, and interaction problems with their parents in the post-COVID condition’ #LongCovid #LongCovidKids

This seems…not good.

It’s an inconvenient truth: if we claim to care about EQUITY, we must protect people from COVID at work, schools, health settings, etc…the most disadvantaged are among those disproportionally impacted by acute & long-COVID. We need courage to speak up, clean the air, mask up in the name of EQUITY.

I’m so happy to see this. Anyone know of other faculty associations taking this or a similarly informed position on COVID? Particularly in Ontario?

Forget “Brain Fog.” COVID-induced brain damage would be better described as ‘FADE-IN MEMORY’ (i.e., Fatigue, decreased Fluency, Attention deficit, Depression, Executive dysfunction, slowed INformation processing speed, and subcortical MEMORY impairment).” t.co/SItlVZB4GO

WELL DONE, UWO Faculty Association! COVID is an #equity issue. We know better than to let this virus run rampant amongst our students, faculty, staff & communities. We can & must do better in post-secondary education.
