May it be the first of many!

Hospitals are killing people with unnecessary infections because their internal politics are more important than patients' lives. Make negligent IPAC leaders pay a price - in money, but also loss of licensure and public humiliation - and the deaths will stop overnight.

The answer today is: vaccination and wearing a respirator mask in public. Measles spreads through the air and 1 person will infect on average another 16-18 people. No vaccine protects 100% because the vaccine isn’t the protection, the immune system is. Vaccines train immune systems. 1/

Why is this so hard for people to acknowledge? Why can we make sure that people have hand warmers and donuts and secret signal networks but be unyieldingly against simple protections from illness?

Breaking Down Silos: A Multidisciplinary Approach to Mitigate Indoor Airborne Pathogen Transmission - PubMed Addressing indoor air quality (IAQ) is essential for reducing respiratory disease risks. In this commentary, we highlight the need for increased connections between typically siloed engineering and health disciplines to tackle remaining IAQ knowledge gaps that, if closed, would enhance IAQ applicati …

Review argues that protecting people from airborne pathogens requires treating indoor air as shared public health resource.
This is one of the strongest implicit messages:
IAQ should be a public health baseline, not an emergency measure.

what about "you were right"? some people really stuck their necks out or went against the grain. with literally everything falling apart right now, challenging the people who called it correctly for being correct is a terrible move. listen to them and learn what you can about what you missed before

'defence'? oh you mean defend against Russia, Isreal, ICE, or some other antagonistic force that is operating outside of law, morality, and decency?

no. we do not mean that.

- ..the medical profession’s response to covid-19 has been in effect to walk away from the established public health principles of ‘control, eliminate, eradicate’

Opinion: France is ditching American tech. When will Canada? Countries around the world are turning to open-sourced or domestic options, but Canada still relies on U.S. tech for critical communication software

“Paris Marx has offered a guide for how people can get off U.S. tech, highlighting the challenges while supporting individual effort. Doing so should be a national ambition, especially as we consider the risk of the U.S. blocking access to tech.”

The BMJ v @bmj_latest X.com Covid-19 is not just a respiratory infection. Cardiovascular symptoms are seen in acute and long covid. Katharine Lang reports on what we've learnt since the onset of the pandemic Why covid-19 is "a vascular disease masquerading as a r...

So at the beginning of the pandemic I said it would take about 5-7 years for people to figure stuff out using heuristic learning methods.

I am a crystal ball.

It’s really wild how many people took this as an obvious and dire need as it concerned their own experience of a few months of isolation, but when it comes to others’ experience of years of the same, the need for access to community gets blown off entirely.

but we have to stay on the CSAM website because the best information, slurces, and audience is there

what happened to not publishing shooters at all bc we don't want to accidently glorify them to the wrong people? was that just US school shooter policy?

Huh.

It's almost as if betting the world on a game of "let's pretend" between a bunch of pseudoscientific cosplayers wasn't a great public health strategy for dealing with COVID after all. 🤔

It must be nothing though. I'm sure we could trust management-class MDs to tell us if they got it wrong...

cool things happening in the vaccine denial /general health malpractice space

Long COVID may be triggering Alzheimer’s-like changes in the brain: new study Over 20 million Americans are believed to have long COVID, suffering symptoms such as severe fatigue, shortness of breath, chest pain, palpitations, dizziness and muscle pain.

As I've said many times before on this platform, the moment I decided that I was going to avoid infection with SARS-CoV-2 was the moment I read that acute Covid-19 could cause both cognitive dysfunction and anosmia.

nypost.com/2026/02/10/h...

some people are questioning what they see with their eyes. stop sanitizing this bullshit. you live in a ploice state, in part. bc the press has refused to use active voice for police violence for decades now. cowards. name it

Winter Olympic athletes are rightfully taking COVID-19 precautions - The Sick Times Despite a lack of COVID-19 precautions implemented by the 2026 Winter Olympics organizers in Italy, some athletes, teams, and their loved ones are protecting themselves from airborne pathogens by mask...

The risks of SARS-CoV-2 and other airborne pathogens can be severe, but the media continues to stigmatize Olympians taking precautions as "worried" and "extreme". We know #LongCOVID can affect anyone, even elite athletes.

In the @thesicktimes.org today 😷🦠

It's a once in a lifetime chance. They've spent, in most cases, dozens of years training for this, dedicating their lives to this moment, because the difference between gold and nothing may be a 1% difference.

There's nothing "extreme" about not wanting to lose a gold medal because you had a cold.

This is genuinely very doable and yet another condemnation of the response that no health authorities even really tried.

- Medical setting
- Public transit
- Air travel (and high-utilization long-distance rail like CE)

do oil companies get more grants, tax breaks, and other funding than can post at this point?

well they can hardly stop now

are they, perhaps, too busy living in the past to face reality?. even better that this tweet is over ten years old

free testing and available kits, access to robust data collected, contact tracing, wastewater surveillance, promoting masking for airborne disease, free vaccines, vax campaigns aimed at everyone affected. we had these things. post-covid public health policy is moving towards don't ask don't tell 🫣

a mystery we may never oh wait it's bc the same media has been fully complicit in the genocide all along and they don't give a fuck / they want it to happen

"There is a need in the marketplace for diagnostics, treatments and cures, and need is not just local to Maryland, but national and international in scope" -

no one should have to and it may not always be available. also it shouldn't be all on the women to 'do it right' so that someone doesn't assualt them

i only use the most proprietary and locked-down devices. because i'm a free thinker

they have been united and organized for quite some time. more do seem to be coming out of the woodwork to shamelessly defend the least vulnerable people ro ever exist. god forbid there's ever consequences for being a monster
