Anaesthetist in Sydney. Advocates for N95s and clean indoor air. Waiting for Novavax. Believes that doctors have a duty of care to learn about covid.
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

Kelly, thank you for your expert knowledge and encouragement!
Dr Kelly Jones@drpops.bsky.social · 8mo agoMuch needed synthesis of the current literature on the long term harms of Covid. Congrats Nancy for an interesting and excellent presentation
Six years ago WHO declared COVID-19 a pandemic. Despite tens of millions of deaths, the world has not sufficiently addressed the ongoing impacts of COVID-19, and we are more vulnerable to future pandemics due to anti-science officials leading government agencies around the world.
Doctors: does Covid cause long-term harm? Let's examine the evidence. 🧵 1/4 youtu.be/uGtU_gSCANo?...

The deadline for the Canadian Respirator Standard is fast approaching. If you'd like to make a submission, here's an excellent resource: 🧵1/2 donoharmbc.ca/national-sta...
Support a National Standard for N95s (and other respirators) in Healthcare
The Canadian Standards Association is looking for public feedback on an update of a national standard for N95s (and other respirators).

If a health care worker can see I'm wearing a respirator and doesn't offer to put one on themselves, asking them to wear one is only ever counter productive ime. I have no interest in wasting my limited energy on arguing with someone with a duty of care who is willfully looking away from eugenics.
Hospitals should be safe. Patients and their carers shouldn’t have to fight for infection prevention. EVERYONE DESERVES SAFE ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE. @pandemicresistance.bsky.social 🧵1/4
