“Even without hospitalization, many of these infections have long-term consequences, from organ damage and immune issues to increased risks of cancer and dementia. It’s unconscionable that we aren’t doing everything we can to reduce these risks"

Explicitly capitalist media is telling you that getting/continuing to get COVID is really bad for you and is, mortifyingly, still doing more to warn you than most public health leaders are.

25-29 year olds: here the cancers have been selected on fastest growth using 5-year (left) and 2-year (right) averages. Fastest growth is shown by rare cancers:
- C19 sigmorectoid
- C69 eye
- C75 endrocrine glands
- C52 vagina
- C45 mesothelioma
- C07 salivary gland by the ear

25-29 year olds: from these graphs showing absolute changes using 5-year (left) and 2-year (right) averages:
- bone cancer (C41) is a major absolute driver
- digestive system cancers show fast y/y growth (C24 biliary tract, C17 small intestines and C19 rectosigmoid)

Long Covid, being a vascular disease, doesn’t show signs immediately. It can take months or over a year for signs to appear, which can show up as subtle - headache, racing heart, fainting, cognitive/memory issues, or as heart attack, stroke, or blood clot. It’s a very sneaky disease w many symptoms.
This is definitely NOT anti-vax. Harsh reality that so many refuse to see or acknowledge because “vax & relax” was sold to us by all levels of Govt & PH. They lied! The long tail of the pandemic continues. Vaccines are good but not perfect.

Hey 🇺🇸, rest of the 🌍 here, yes your Republican party is 💩 but Democrat hostage strategy ("we're not going to fight $EVIL_THING because we're saving it to force people to vote for us") is also 💩.
Clean up your garbage. Support Ukraine. Stop spreading diseases. Jail your #EpsteinClass.
Always difficult to find people that were not infected during 2023… and were not in the group sheltering due to other comorbidities….
But the overall picture (including other studies) would suggest that strains like delta, esp pre vaccine, were brutal.
The fundamental problem is that institutional medical leadership has become a dumping ground for those more interested in control than outcomes, who in turn "lead" the profession away from its strengths where reason and and patient interactions intersect, and into robotic obedience to authority.
One should be aware of the effects of droplet evaporation and the resultant diminution in size of ejected droplets. A 30 Ìm droplet dries to a 5 Ìm droplet within seconds under normal indoor air conditions. This means that a large droplet, as it evaporates, will not settle to the ground but become a free-floating entity.This has implications for the 3 foot rule, the basis for infection control precautionary measures, since it is commonly believed that large droplets ejected upon sneezing or coughing will follow Stoke’s Law and fall to ground within a 3 foot distance from the person’s face. It is evident that it is commonly believed that the 3 foot rule is a division between an unsafe and safe distance. There is no indication that the 3 foot rule takes into consideration the evaporation factor and the drift factor of airborne droplets, as discussed above. No scientific evidence is offered by WHO,DHHS-CDC,PCAH,or other medical authorities in explaining the rule. If large droplets quickly evaporate to free-floating small droplets, then the 3 foot rule applies only to droplets greater than about 50 – 100 Ìm in diameter for which there is insufficient time chance for evaporation to take effect before they fall to the ground from a height of 5–6 feet. Free floating small droplets readily go beyond the 3 foot radius. Therefore, if the majority of ejected droplets following a sneeze are evaporated to a size that is free-floating after only seconds in air, the 3 foot rule becomes illogical and not particularly helpful from a disease transmission perspective.
Here's one example of the warnings provided by the SARS Commission. Unfortunately, this just triggered the gigantic, fragile egos of medicine's management class, who refused to admit they have anything to learn and focused on shutting science out.

Here's the 1934 paper in question. NB @ubcmedicine.bsky.social isn't special. Lots of other medical programs are run by MDs who are similarly ignorant behind closed doors. The SARS Commission highlighted how out of date they were two decades ago. But medicine is run by its dinosaurs.
Yes, I know. It seems impossible to imagine that medical training could be nearly a century out of date.
The level of sheer incompetence it would take for a medical school to be that out of touch with reality, and be allowed to cover it up successfully, is almost inconceivable.
It gets way worse:
Welcome to 2026, where readers of 👉the New York Post👈 get a better education on the science of airborne disease transmission than an MD who just graduated from medical school at the University of British Columbia.
This is not hyperbole.
People need to go to jail for this.

The number of workers represented by a union increased in 2025 to 16.5 million — the highest number in 16 years.
That’s despite Trump’s corporate-backed war on workers.
Remember: Trump wouldn’t be attacking unions if he wasn’t so afraid of workers’ collective power. Solidarity.
A shocking article! A must read!
So this is all undoubtedly promising, but I will likely spend the rest of my life baffled that "mainstream" medicine will celebrate this, but make absolutely no effort to use or embrace NPI. It stinks of systemic blindness & corruption.

That's definitely one way to make the world a better place. Appoint some special prosecutors and start hauling people into court in the Hague. WWII concentration camp guards have faced justice for less than what some of these people did and/or knew about.
The Project 2025 author is using millions of dollars in USAID money for his own security detail.
It is estimated that 762,000 people have *already died* as a result of Elon Musk and Russell Vought’s obscene murder of USAID, including more than 500,000 children.
Vought is a mass murderer.
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 arrogance really is astounding.To think what could have been accomplished, but instead we’re kept in a perpetual cycle of chaos. And to what end? What’s the point, other than hubris? Fear of accountability? Career loss? Political favour? 🤷♀️
Imagine the guilt the people at @ipaccanada.bsky.social have to live with every day - and look forward to a lifetime of.
Grandkids ask what they did in the pandemic, and it's: "Cosplayed as a scientist, shouted down the real ones,
Dunning-Kruger'ed a bunch of people to death and covered it up."
As the BC gov embraces austerity, simply increasing doctors' pay, absent structural changes, isn’t delivering results for British Columbians—& it comes at a hefty cost
The BC government needs to rethink its approach to primary care reform

Reporters in Canada spend a huge amount of time fighting to access information like this.
I sit across from @michellegamage.bsky.social in our newsroom and can attest this was a months-long battle! thetyee.ca/News/2026/02...
Where are all those right-wing “reopen the schools for the kids despite COVID” folks now?
Shouldn’t they be screaming about learning loss?
