Bottom line from the last 6 years of COVID research : If you’ve got blood vessels, you’d be wise to avoid additional infections.
Now is a great time to normalize wearing a respirator. Might feel awkward at first, but every person who does makes it easier for others to follow. Be a leader. 😷

We cannot stay silent about this as to do so is to be complicit in the illogical & amoral approach of facilitating brain damage as part of the learning experience.
“37 % of the undergraduates exhibited impaired cognition up to 17 months post-infection.”

I’m so sorry - this is unconscionable behaviour and no doubt added to the stress of an already stressful situation. I’m hope your surgery went well and you managed to avoid infections of any kind.
"Leading vaccinologist Helen Petousis-Harris says there's not enough awareness of the impact of COVID-19 on overall health."
"What many people don't realise is that getting COVID repeatedly is not like building immunity, it's more like accumulating damage," she says.

🤯 I miss logic so much.
Well, the structure of the body that will control the interpretation of science related to screening and preventative health services is out, and it reflects the power-grubbing mentality we've come to expect from institutional medicine.
Note that the priority is to guarantee majority power to...
I value empathy & I’m finding it challenging currently…with all the research we now have access to, thinking ahead 15 or 20yrs, what are science-literate people planning to tell their kids…sorry about your lifetime of illness, but people made fun so we went maskless?! Sorry for the snark.
I’m so sorry this has happened to you. You deserve better. Much better.
“Our findings redefine SARS-CoV-2 infection as a condition of long-lasting immune compromise.”
At this point, I genuinely have no ability to comprehend how is anyone not scared sh*t-less about the long-term consequences of infections, especially on kids?

Yes, endemic is not benign. And, when it comes to covid, I cannot align the current situation with any definitions of endemic…by my read, it maintains the characteristics of being pandemic.
Millions of people around the world are living with the lasting impacts of Long COVID — a growing public health crisis that continues long after the initial infection.
Long COVID can affect the brain, heart, lungs, immune system, and more, (...)

Don’t let anyone discourage your protection practices - they will not be the ones to take care of you if you get LC. 😷 💉 🪟💨
~1 in 99 people in Canada are currently infected, 1 in 82 in Ontario, 1 in 51 in Manitoba…that’s ~8x higher than the lowest points of the pandemic.

Would really appreciate it if a greater percentage of people liking and replying in agreement to this take (which is correct) were still masking, getting boosted, and otherwise engaging in any level of covid mitigation. The virus is very much still around and still causing harm.
And more than 20,000 published papers on #LongCOVID, which is still without a cure -

So someone with measles can spread it before they have symptoms, it can float in the air for hours and years later, they can develop new health complications?
I can’t breach confidentiality… but I think I can say this much.
I am blown away by the change I am seeing in people’s health in the clinical setting… since C19. It’s not subtle. It’s like one of those paintings with every bright colour thrown on it.
It is very sad.
The absolute BEST public health comms…if you’re not already following @durhamhealthnc.bsky.social , I strongly recommend doing so. They even post science-backed messaging on FB!! That’s integrity!!
