Recognizing that there are a lot of unknowns at play here, I'd be way more comfortable it's being handled competently if the infection control community would acknowledge that the UK COVID Inquiry found their core beliefs about aerosol transmission to be a "widespread failure"... 🧵:

Module 3 of the UK COVID Inquiry is out. Encouraging to see explicit recognition of the "widespread failure" of clinical leaders to understand aerosol science, and the "clear failure" of IPC leaders to understand that they might be wrong. #medsky #scisky covid19.public-inquiry.uk/reports/modu....

This doctor (moi) says it’s especially important for everyone to get the updated COVID vaccine because vaccines wane, there are new variants and every person, regardless of age, is susceptible to the damage COVID causes. Get Vaccinated #Vaccineswork

Thanks, Sue. Will tell every patient and all relatives I know about the necessity to preorder ASAP. And flood the premier’s, 4 health ministers’, and all MLAs’ offices with complaints about the gross inequity of this obscene preordering system. I am disgusted.

Please boost—this is terrifying. For those who don’t know, Sarah lost her daughter to very severe ME after the disease was disbelieved/mistreated by doctors. Isla died in similar circumstances & now her mom has been unjustly arrested & her sister who also has ME has been taken & is in serious danger

@meactionuk.bsky.social @meactnet.bsky.social please boost on other platforms. We are scrambling for lawyers to get the sister out as the top priority. I am speaking with national print media this morning.

It may seem hard to believe but there is a group of Infectious Disease doctors who oppose the new Canadian CSA Z94.4:25 draft National Standard for Respirators and the precautionary use of N95s in healthcare

'A handful of courageous Americans, associated under the name of the Emergency Rescue Committee (ERC), took it upon themselves to set right their country’s indifference. Hannah Arendt, Max Ernst, Marc Chagall, André Breton, Claude Lévi-Strauss and 2,000 others owe their lives to them.'

One of the worst mistakes of the pandemic was proclaiming covid doesn't affect kids. This has proven false in so many ways, even *before* acknowledging the risk of repeat infections (which kids presumably have more time to get). Even as a leading cause of death, c19 ranks higher in kids than adults.

Over the past 50 years, vaccines have saved 154 million lives. This World Immunization Week, let’s celebrate the scientists, researchers, and public health workers who work tirelessly to keep us healthy and disavow baseless conspiracy theories about vaccines.

“Long COVID is not "just fatigue." It’s organ damage, immune dysfunction, and neurological injury—even when tests look “normal.” Consensus: routine labs often miss it. We need biomarker access. We need real diagnostics. Now.”

179 experts. 28 countries. 1 message: Long COVID is real, multi-systemic, and devastating. It affects over 400 million people. And we're not prepared. New global consensus just dropped. link.springer.com/content/pdf/10… 🧵

Oh, FFS. Tracy Hoeg?!?!? Why is anyone listening to her about vaccines? Or anything else for that matter? She made arguments directly to me re: Covid transmission in schools that wouldn’t have passed at a middle school science fair.😩
