2026, le NHS. Hygiène des mains contre la transmission aérosole. 🤦‍♀️ C'est d'autant plus effrayant qu'ici la transmission aérosole n'est pas niée, elle est écrite juste au-dessus de la recommandation relative à l'hygiène des mains sur la même affiche. H/T @linnj.bsky.social

Affiche du NHS :
"AIRBORNE PRECAUTIONS

Please wash your hands before entering the training rooms.
Thank you."

I was delighted to be asked by COVID-ACTION to give them a talk. Initially we hadn't selected a topic for the talk, but the effrontery of a NERVTAG member (purporting that the pandemic planners had done a great job!) soon settled the subject in my mind. tinyurl.com/Pandemic-Pla...

Looking for a Valentine for that special someone? We made you a few to choose from. We can’t tell you who to love, but we think these are all green flags.

I knew I loved you when...You rescheduled our date because you were sick and wanted to protect me

I knew I loved you when...You told me you wanted to use protection

I knew I loved you when...You wore a mask on our date

I knew I loved you when... You used a thermometer to cook our dinner to a safe internal temperature

Someone I’ve known for many years, and who deeply respected my covid knowledge, recently assumed I don’t fly.

My thoughts on wider masking… 🧵

Many, including those who are covid-aware, are of the opinion that we’ll never be able to get masking to become widely adopted in society. Perhaps unsurprisingly, some of us who invariably mask in shared air tend to hold a different view. 1/21

1. I've said exactly this for quite some time. Expanding on Adrian's @sillyputty78.bsky.social point on X / Twitter here, Covid-19 has three distinct characteristics as a disease that enables it to be denied at a societal level.

If COVID resulted in everyone getting harmless, untreatable, utterly gross pustules covering their entire face for weeks we wouldn't still be in a pandemic.

11. These three factors: lack of triggering the human disgust mechanism, inability to be generalised, and lack of widespread understanding of sequelae of infection all contribute to the societal denial of the dangers of Covid-19. /end

Hang one of these on your door to tell everyone to #MaskUp before they come in! It's especially handy for hospitals or medical offices that don't require staff to wear them at all times (most of them lately 😡), or any other space you want to be more #COVID safe. ⬇️ ko-fi.com/lightbringer...

A red stop-sign shape above the knob says, "WEAR A MASK"

🚨A must-read short 🧵 by @linnj.bsky.social on Twitter: "I think one of the biggest failures in the early pandemic response was the messaging around shielding the vulnerable..." 🚨 threadreaderapp.com/thread/19334...

I think one of the biggest failures in the early pandemic response was the messaging around shielding the vulnerable. 🧵
1/6
It created a culture of us and them. Where some people became defined as weak. As less worthy. As different.

And everyone desperately wanted anything but to be identified as them. Desperately wanted to avoid the marginalisation.
2/6
Taking steps to reduce one’s risk of infection therefore became equivalent to self-identifying as them.
3/6
Initially, I believe this deeply rooted fear was part of the reason for the micro aggressions, bullying and harassment seen against those taking precautions.
4/7
To shun them; to marginalise them further helped increase the metaphorical gap between themselves and the weak.

Distanced them from the identity they so desperately needed to avoid.
5/7
So even if FFP2/3 masks correctly would have been communicated to protect against transmission, they became synonymous with an identity people couldn’t fathom adopting.
6/7
Communication lies at the core of public health. This is the impact of poorly thought-through communication.

PH communication goes beyond the need to be accurate, timely, and transparent. It also must consider the wider cultural changes it generates.
7/7

Just in case anyone is reading any covid-related documents and clicks the link to the now famous HSE RR619 "Evaluating the protection afforded by surgical masks" they will now get a broken link (404). HSE have shuffled it out of the way. New link: webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ukgwa/202412...

1. I am of the firm belief that it is now impossible to get H5N1 out of the ecosystem of North America. Bluntly put, there is now simply too much virus present in wild birds and mammals to be able to contain it. There are also likely many more human cases than reported.

“Iron deficiency and iron-deficiency anemia are common, underappreciated conditions with significant morbidity and mortality despite widespread availability of effective treatment.” Based on personal experience and LC insights I thoroughly agree. And reference ranges are indeed garbage.

1. The single most dangerous broader societal risk of the Covid-19 pandemic is the manner in which a highly politicised response normalised and promulgated a significantly higher acceptance of other infectious disease threats.

If a new pandemic comes to the US next year we’ll have an NIH director who advocated for letting COVID burn through the US, an HHS Sec who believes in raw milk but not vaccines, an FDA commissioner who said COVID would be over by 4/2021, and a CDC director who supported the debunked theory that vaccines cause autism.
