One of the most consequential threads on IPC you will read in a long time👇
Message goes to the heart of system wide failures in healthcare & public health leading to unnecessary sickness & death from inappropriate & inadequate NPIs, rooted in outdated paradigm.

Hay una pandemia que nadie quiere frenar: la del egoísmo. Y esa, también se contagia.
El mayor riesgo para la salud global ya no es la falta de ciencia, sino la falta de conciencia. Por eso, cuando otros recortan, España duplica su ayuda.
Porque ninguna sociedad merece llamarse civilizada si abandona a los suyos. Cuidar de quien no puede cuidarse no es caridad. Es lo que nos hace humanos.
This does NOT mean I think hantavirus will go pandemic based on what I’ve read it means I think the “risk calculation” the WHO is using is skewed in favor of individualism once again in a way that reveals their inability to prioritize community care
It should alarm everyone that, as our HHS Secretary, RFK Jr. has no clue how his dismantling of the Hep B vaccine recommendation harms Americans.
He is sentencing thousands of children to a terrible chronic illness for no reason by reversing decades-long recommendations that have saved countless lives.
A whole article about the aetiology of Dementia and not a single reference to Covid...
How extraordinary given the humongous data available
Perhaps Angus Dalton should read more before writing?

Urgent. Iran women's football team bus is at the hotel. I have credible evidence women wishing to claim asylum have been prevented from accessing a human rights lawyer. Watch, listen, share.

1/ If I hear one more public official call indoor air filters a "band-aid," I'm going to explode! It's so logical, yet so readily dismissed. Filtering indoor air should be as standard as filtering water. Full stop. 🧵
Not just tragic but possibly medical negligence.
"Aspergillus is a fungus that is everywhere, it is airborne" & the hospital response is "a deep clean, upgraded air filtration and air quality testing." Too late!
Why wasn't air quality/filtration adequate?

Generations of pupils have learned in stuffy classrooms filled with recycled air, but a Hampshire school is now breathing new life into the way lessons are taught. The impact of installing HEPA filters has been striking.

@VicGovDH Exposure sites finish with 8.5 hours in an ED then another 2.5 hours on a ward. So once again, the highest risks are at facilities that you run.
Are your screening protocols defective, or were they ignored by multiple staff?
I have written to the Foreign Minister conveying the anguish of people in my community over the atrocities being perpetrated against civilians in Iran. This horrific crackdown on protestors under the cover of a communications blackout must end. Iranians, like all of us, deserve the right to peacefully protest and to have a say over how they are governed.

'Vaccines transformed public health because policy followed science. If we abandon that principle, we will not only see old diseases return but we will face them with clinicians less prepared to stop them.
That is a policy failure we cannot afford'
Superb from @KrutikaKuppalli
That we're in a place, at a time, when someone has to write this headline, this article — it's almost unfathomable. Please do read @KrutikaKuppalli 's take. https://t.co/2NVNyLtIlF
You don’t build or rebuild social cohesion by silencing people. Extremism might have more space to thrive within communities who feel silenced and voiceless. #Socialcohesion
