Things that make me happy …

Common Misconceptions about COVID Hold Strong as New Variant Spreads Media has the public talking about the "razor blade" COVID variant, but years of inaccurate public health messaging have taken their toll

As NB.1.8.1 spreads, there’s only one thing spreading faster: misinformation. Here, I run down 5 of the most common errors I see circulating about COVID and encourage people to integrate airborne disease mitigation into their lives holistically.

Cool! :-) Herzlichen Glückwunsch!

iMASK

There is a manufacturer in Ukraine that does really great masks, if you would like to support them. Don’t know about their availability or shipping options to the US though. They have all the proper European Union certifications (N95 = FFP2). I wear them all the time! :-) imask.ua/en

I mask inside 😷, wear shoes and clothes, use an umbrella when it rains, a hat for the sun, a seatbelt in the car, a helmet on the bike.

I understand risk and take measures to minimize it. I use my brain to think. I cherish my health. I protect my family.

I'm weird like that.

Das hast du sehr schön respektvoll gesagt! Danke! :-) Denn ICH werde das heute Abend sowas von gucken! :-))

Why are we still masking? Some people might wonder why St. Margaret’s continues to take precautions against the spread of Covid in our community when it feels like the rest of the world has moved on. Our decision may make...

Still 😷
Die Kirche St. Margaret’s in Vancouver nimmt COVID weiterhin ernst.
#COVID stelle nicht nur ein Risiko für gefährdete Personen dar: Jede COVID-Infektion erhöhe das Risiko einer Person, da sie dem Körper still und schleichend Schaden zufüge.

Ben of Ben & Jerry’s *arrested* after confronting RFK Jr. & Congress:

"They need to let food into Gaza. They need to let food to starving kids! Congress is paying to bomb poor kids in Gaza, and paying for it by kicking poor kids off Medicaid in the US!"

As I’m very nicely connecting with the #ME ( #CFS ) #LongCovid world, I thought I’d just let you know: I don’t have any of those illnesses – I am an ally! :-) We do exist! Don’t give up!

Weil ich hier gerade so schön am Vernetzen in die #ME ( #CFS ) #LongCovid Welt bin, dachte ich, ich lass Euch mal wissen: Ich habe keine dieser Erkrankungen selber. Ich bin ein Ally! :-)

Erfreuliche Fotos! :-) Ich war letztes Jahr beim ersten Nederlandse Long COVID Dag in Amersfoort (eine Fachkonferenz (!)) – da war ich der Einzige mit Maske. :-)

For those – with or without children – who might care.

We learn about their day-to-day lives, but also about their experiences within the health system, which they initially worked in as practitioners, but now make new and rather different experiences as patients.

The interviews are in Dutch, but in the YouTube player you can choose English subtitles (with the ‘subtitles‘ and ‘settings‘ buttons).

We learn about their day-to-day lives, but also about their experiences within the health system, which they initially worked in as practitioners, but now make new and rather different experiences as patients.

The film tells the stories of five doctors in the Netherlands who fell ill with ME/CFS – some through long covid, some through other infections such as Lyme disease.

As Anil can’t leave his apartment, he asked camera teams to film the in-person interviews for him – who all did the filming for free as they all have relatives or friends living with ME. Later, Anil edited the footage at home.

I just came across a really great film on ME/CFS: ‘Doctors as Patients‘. It’s made by my Dutch filmmaker colleague @anilvanderzee.bsky.social, who has been living with ME for 18 years himself.

How Europe is quietly stealing America’s scientists

My story again, this time at @politico.com. Great timing, another day, another grant rejection. My research investigating how #COVID increases Alzheimer's chances is suddenly not relevant to the U.S anymore.
Will the last one out please turn off the lights.

I’m sooo loving this! :-)))

Neue Studie zu Corona bestätigt: Betroffene anfälliger für diese Krankheiten Eine Corona-Infektion macht laut Studie anfälliger für weitere Erkrankungen. Welche am häufigsten auftreten, berichten nun Forscher aus den USA.

Es waren nicht die Lockdowns und es sind auch nicht alle faul?! Wie erwartet machen Coronainfektionen anfälliger für Folgekrankheiten und Longcovid. Damit ist klar, dass Kinder, Familien und das Gesundheitswesen massiv belastet werden und wurden. Zahlen alle, monetär und persönlich. Masken schützen

Es erinnert mich alles so an die frühen AIDS-Jahre. :-(

GROSSARTIG! 🙏🏻

Advocates, legal experts, and community leaders worked together to repeal Section 79 of Zimbabwe’s Criminal Code, which criminalised HIV.

World Pride sollte ganz klar sagen: Kommt nicht in die USA! Es ist nicht sicher hier!

A very interesting take on Covid in the context of radiology and gum disease.

Measles is spreading

Under vaccinated communities are getting bigger in size and number

Like bubbles, as these communities get bigger, they merge - the firewalls breakdown -

I’m deeply concerned we are at risk of not hundreds, but epidemics of tens of thousands of cases in US

New study suggests Ebola could be cured with a pill Research on a new Ebola treatment in monkeys shows a pill could help shut down deadly Ebola outbreaks before they devastate communities.
