[Dr. Pat Soon-Shiong @DrPatrick]

Just received concerning data coming soon from UCLA and Mount Sinai clinicians about lymphopenia, covid and breast cancer metastases. Sadly our concerns of the increasing incidence of metastatic disease and recurrences of patients in remission following Covid and worse with lymphopenia is being validated. Data soon at AACR this month.

[World Health Network @TheWHN]

World Health Network was featured in The Guardian as experts urge the WHO to update global guidance: surgical masks are inadequate, and respirators should be standard protection in healthcare settings.

Evidence-based public health matters.

Preventing nosocomial infection is not primarily about individual behaviour.
It is about systems, including:
• ventilation and air quality
• ward design and airflow
• cohorting and zoning
• surveillance and outbreak detection
• governance and oversight

Not good to see the rise in p-tau181, a blood biomarker of brain inflammation tied to increased risk of Alzheimer's disease, in a prospective cohort (mean age 56 years) with #LongCovid and neurological symptoms

"We downplay the virus... And children are more at risk than we thought."

Meanwhile in Quebec we can't vaccinate our children... All the pharmacies I called in my area cannot order Spikevax, the only vaccine available for young children this fall

@MeetJess I couldn't get her vaccinated in time for her 2nd dose because we kept on having illnesses every month ever since my oldest started daycare... And since there are no more rapid tests we assumed at least one of those times were covid anyway, so we needed to wait 3 months for her

[Jea @JeaMed]

@MeetJess I just learned our spectacular public health in Quebec decided to stop giving the vaccine for free this fall... And now my daughter is only half vaccinated. Great. Right now there is not a single pharmacy in my area which administers the vaccine to a 1 yr old.

[Jea @JeaMed]

@ThinkingCC Yah I probably got as many as you, I work in healthcare so... If I have to take the flu vaccine yearly, I don't see why I shouldn't get the covid one yearly.

I really really wish I didn’t follow the “it’s okay to unmask now” in 2023 and wish I carried on against everyone around me telling me it’s now fine. If I did carry on masking I may not have long Covid now. My first infection was in 2023 when I unmasked. Don’t make my mistake.

[Jea @JeaMed]

@zebramaeuschen @evelio_prieto @1goodtern Thankfully it's very rare. Hopefully they screened the family as well, might give some clues.

[Jea @JeaMed]

@ThinkingCC @loscharlos @bmj_latest It does feel like no one wants to say it out loud, in this article but also in the real world...

[Tara Herrmann, PhD @TaraHerrmannPhD]

Would like to note that many of us who are virologists, microbiologists m, immunologists and ID specialists have had this fear since the beginning of just given the nature of corona viruses

Personally, imo there is enough evidence to state it is. Why do I believe that?

[Jea @JeaMed]

@evelio_prieto @1goodtern Why would a healthy 40s person get VF? Does it happen randomly without prior known disease or trigger (the autopsy should have detected them no?) I'm assuming the deceased did not take any meds for chronic or acute condition either.

[tern @1goodtern]

A friend's family member died unexpectedly a few weeks ago.
40s.
Before that, mostly healthy.

The post-mortem has come back.
They have no idea why this person died.
Their heart just stopped beating.

I say 'mostly healthy'.
They had just had covid.

"In a way, the world-view of the Party imposed itself most successfully on people incapable of understanding it. They could be made to accept the most flagrant violations of reality, because they never fully grasped the enormity of what was demanded of them, 1/2

[The Fossil @LeFossile55]

@CovidSolidarit1 @annette_ro41708 I wonder how many of the unmasked have contributed to folk contracting Covid and now those folk suffer from LC or maybe caused someone or their loved ones death.
A loved ones death from my giving them covid is not what I want on my conscience so I'll continue to mask.

[Cat (CovidSolidarity) @CovidSolidarit1]

This “leftie mask debate” feels like diversion.

We don’t mask because it’s our identity - we mask because we understand SarsCov2 better than the average person. That’s all that needs to be said.

[Becky Ancira Robertson @AnciraBecky]

What happens when more than half of our population has LC?
