"The world has moved on from COVID. The risk hasn’t." - By Professor Adrian Esterman "An epidemiologist explains what the evidence says about when the next pandemic might happen — and why the risk isn’t declining" #COVID19 #COVIDisNotOver #COVIDisAirborne

"COVID vaccines tied to less hospital care, long COVID, and economic burden." "People vaccinated against COVID in Germany in 2023 experienced reduced hospitalization rates, fewer long-COVID diagnoses, and lower all-cause mortality than those who weren't vaccinated, according to a new study"

It’s telling that more people on social media attribute his death to the vaccine or the “clot shot”—& not to the virus itself that’s known to cause heart attacks. “While the acute phase of the pandemic has eased, growing evidence shows that the virus has left a persistent cardiovascular imprint.”

Layoffs, hiring freezes/resignations have shrunk the number of qualified CDC scientists. The rabies/pox virus teams have lost many members. There aren’t enough qualified people to council state and local officials in the event of an outbreak. 🧪 www.nytimes.com/2026/04/01/h...

Good news! OpenAI is canceling so many large purchase orders and datacenter expansions that the global price of RAM is dropping.

BERNIE: “The top 1% owns more wealth than the bottom 93%.”🇺🇸 GUY IN AUDIENCE: “WHAT?!”😬 BERNIE: “1 person, Mr. Musk, owns more wealth than the bottom 53%… Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ made 938 Billionaires $1.5 TRILLION richer.” (This is who @MarshaBlackburn fights for)

The Human Cost of Failing to Name COVID ‘Airborne’ - Safety laws are being sidestepped. One doctor’s nightmare shows how health-care workers pay the price. thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...

The severe systemic risk here is obvious, so I'll confine myself to one aspect of it. The possibility of medication and medical supplies shortages in the near future is very real, so staying as healthy as you can is more important than ever. Wear FFP2 / FFP3 as often as possible.

#MedSky Please read and update your practice.

The point of putting ice in airports isn’t just to put ice in airports. It’s to normalize putting them anywhere as “extra security.” This will include polling places w/ long lines in minority communities, polling places in blue/purple districts, & anywhere else it “helps” the people deploying them.

I needed that.

this piece of shit, specifically, needs to be prosecuted in the next administration unlike the targets of this one there is going to be a whole lot of evidence to work with

A European colleague came to the US recently for an academic meeting On arrival at JFK, she was whisked off by immigration officers into a windowless office, which had a giant picture of Trump, & relentlessly & aggressively questioned for hours They let her go—but she ain’t coming back to the US

We need more freedom for viruses!

NICE is clear that Bacterial Meningitis and meningococcal disease are transmitted by aerosol, droplets. The @ukcovid-19inquiry.bsky.social report published yesterday (1.58) says: "It is no longer appropriate to rely on this dichotomy. References to cut-off points based on particle size and the

This is Beyond ridiculous,children are deliberately being put at risk for reasons that are beyond me. Also the WHO have removed aerosol transmission From the meningitis meningococcal disease from the transmission advice,this is Unbelievable straight after the worst meningitis outbreak we’ve ever had

@sharonhodgsonmp.bsky.social @zackpolanski.bsky.social We need urgent vaccines and a guidance update. The Covid inquiry said IPC guidance was “fundamentally flawed”

“I don’t think the American public has a sense that the food on our table is being produced by immigrant workers under conditions that would make Upton Sinclair turn over in his grave.” @genoways.bsky.social reports from the JBS strike in Greeley, Colorado.

Will any of Canada’s medical leaders read this? And then act? From the UK COVID inquiry released today

1/ The Chair of the UK Covid-19 Inquiry, Baroness Heather Hallett, has today published her third report.

It’s Long Covid Awareness Day, and my sixth anniversary of being sick from it. My first impulse for commemorating this was to set all the meds and treatments I’ve tried to the tune of We Didn’t Start the Fire, or Tom Lehrer’s The Elements (which uses I Am the Very Model of A Modern Major General).

12-yr-old Aveline loved trapeze and sports. Long Covid changed everything. “Within a day my entire life was flipped around… it’s been a constant battle against my own body.” “It’s really isolating. All my friends go to school together and I would give anything to be there.”

Protect your brain. Wear a mask (for viruses and air pollution). Use a bike helmet. And go cautiously about what skills you offload to computers. This is a mom post to all you beautiful brains. Just …we need you in top condition to create a radically just and sustainable future.

@takedemocracyback.org's website reveals the whole enchilada of this sickening and cruel Tech Bros Broligarchy, must bookmark & read: We must #STOP_Dark_MAGA NOW! AND Support #3E #EndOligarchy

#longCOVID is a national security threat. Specifically to readiness, via the recruitment necessary to replace COVID-related attrition, and via attrition of the pool that recruits can be drawn from. The push to hide COVID harms by those who failed to contain it is a danger to all of us. 🧵:

Was feeling discouraged about not making much progress in the fight to shift Covid policy 6 yrs in, but then a family member called to say they put a HEPA filter in their office because of me They were tired of being sick & knew there had to be a better way. It's the small things ☺️

🚨 Major new #COVID study finding: 20 months post-infection, in CVD pts, T lymphocytes remained 72.9% below baseline. Insane: persistent ~73% drop in immune fighting capacity, including vs cancer. 😢 #medsky #LongCOVID

Study: "SARS-CoV-2 causes lasting immune dysregulation for over 20 months" "This large multicenter study shows SARS-CoV-2 exposure leads to long-term changes in lymphocyte subsets—including CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, NK cells, and total T cells—persisting for up to 20 months."

Repeatedly getting Covid doesn’t build immunity, ‘it’s more like accumulating damage’ - Melanie Earley of RNZ www.thepress.co.nz/nz-news/3609...

This is an excellent, brief video compilation highlighting the fact that a COVID pandemic was not inevitable. It was preventable, allowed only by the arrogant incompetence of medical infection control leaders who saw outsiders as rivals for *their* turf. Watch Martin's video below, then...

what's happening right now in what we loosely call the Middle East is Jenga

damn that's crazy. source? they got a few kgs of 90% heU? an actual physics package? delivery systems for the physics package? may i see it?

Since the Dow is under 50,000, can we talk about the Epstein files again?

A folk logic about it is starting to develop. People may not understand the monopolies and geopolitics of renewable energy at a gradual level. But they can see data centers, hear data centers, and read their electric bill statements. They are angry.

Here’s what happened to the victims of Swedish state epidemiologist Anders Tegnell’s sick twisted COVID experiment. www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/man...

We’ve known this since 2020. “Covid was indeed behaving like a virus capable of reaching the brain. He’d seen the pattern before, with HIV, Ebola and SARS-CoV-1—infections that first appeared to target one organ system before revealing quieter, more lasting damage in the brain and elsewhere.”

There is so much anger in me for the "let it rip," "we don't need to mask/you don't need to mask" "All schools and universities must be in person" people, I think its possibly unhealthy for me Archived link here, thanks to @jacky.wtf for sharing archive.ph/qBbZJ#select...
