Reminder: have your say about Pharmac widening antiviral accessibility. Prevention is best, but if people do contract Covid, we want to give them an optimum convalescence. These drugs lower the risk of Long Covid. Submissions due by 5 pm tomorrow.

Schools are superspreaders

–uses the common technique of mixing truth with unverifiable claims, which it shares to its tens of thousands of followers across multiple platforms

–never answers questions, never engages with any of those followers

My best guess is that they're either someone looking to eventually make money off their unsuspecting followers, or they intend to spread outright disinformation about covid and public health in general, or they're up to something even more sinister.

Be skeptical.

It's sad to see ppl boosting this account, which claims to share "leaks" from their alleged "sources" at the CDC: mastodon.social/@COVID19_DISEA

I'm a former journalist. I have a master's degree in the subject, and I've taught it at the university level.

This account has the hallmarks of a bad actor posing as a leaker, for example:

–frequently claims to report "directly" on covid and other pathogens, but never actually publishes new info

–claims to "speak for YOU," a huge red flag

While the situation is now largely under control, there are patients who still suffer from the disease and have symptoms lasting for more than three months. The set of these symptoms has been linked to a condition called “long COVID,” which persists after an initial period of COVID-19 infection. While the condition is still under study, researchers in Japan have made a groundbreaking discovery in the fight against long COVID.

“3 of the study’s authors write that almost 6 million US children could be affected by long COVID, which is greater than number of kids with asthma”

6 million chronically ill kids

How many will be gaslit? Pushed to play through the pain? Told they’re “fine”?

What a great time to restrict vaccines.

The “razor blade throat” Variant of Covid is putting more people in the hospital in China, and has already been detected in New York and other major US cities

“In mainland China, the portion of patients going to ER with COVID more than doubled in the last month — from 7.5% to more than 16%. The portion in hospital for COVID also doubled, to more than 6%”

Vaccines were designed to keep people out of the hospital.

Restricting access to boosters runs the risk of overwhelming the healthcare system.

The public health messaging is confusing. They say this variant doesn’t appear “more severe” while also saying number of people in hospital has doubled.

I fail to see how it can simultaneously be “not more severe” and also be causing a doubling of severe cases.

As always, get your booster if you still can.

Remember that a layered approach works best. Wear a well fitted respirator like an N95, clean & ventilate the air, stay home when sick.

So many horrified responses today to RFK Jr's actions regarding Covid vaccines for pregnant people and healthy children. Here's just one:

"As ob-gyns who treat patients every day, we have seen firsthand how dangerous COVID-19 infection can be during pregnancy and for newborns who depend on maternal antibodies from the vaccine for protection.

"We also understand that despite the change in recommendations from HHS, the science has not changed. It is very clear that COVID-19 infection during pregnancy can be catastrophic and lead to major disability, and it can cause devastating consequences for families.

"The COVID-19 vaccine is safe during pregnancy, and vaccination can protect our patients and their infants after birth."
