If I may be presumptuous...

Ventilation fucking works.

And it's surprisingly easy to achieve. Anything under 1000ppm CO2 usually requires nothing more than a cracked window and an open door.

Get yourself a monitor and don't settle for anything less.

Hard to believe we're still having to point out these basic truths.... But in any world with right wing politics we will always have to point this out

webweasel.bsky.social•1 day ago

Can someone do a paper on whether arguing with morons on the internet is making things worse, because I’m still unsure whether it’s better to argue against misinformation (and risk amplifying it) or just block and move on?

trishgreenhalgh.bsky.social•1 day ago

Keep telling the truth in simple language. I done engage with disinformation, I just say what I know.

W/peace & love it was a shutdown (which worked very well & I support) not a lockdown. At least in the US. We could leave our houses. We could go get essentials. Lockdowns are the pro-Covid/covid deniers bull shit talking point & we need to retire it because it inaccurately describes what was done

melzat.bsky.social•22 hours ago

True, I continued my usual activities (but retired).

What so you're saying ivermectin does not help with regrowing amputated limbs 🤔

Ivermectin is used for dermatological issues as well

Not convinced about your first two. I believed in them at the time of the pandemic but not sure after coming through it all. The rest are spot on!

Ivermectin was also okay for the cited study population that was African based and had co-infections with worms, which is why a dewormer helped in that study.
Just to be precise about that, it is a good example what happens when people only read abstracts of papers and do not understand context ;)

Ivermectin is for many things not just horses. ~500 million doses per year for prevention of lymphatic filariasis, onchocerciasis. Best current scabicidal drug we have. We shouldn't talk about it as if it's not a drug for use in humans just because it's not a drug for viruses.

everyrose.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yes, was given it in a cream for rosacea. But no, not for viruses.

philip-mach.bsky.social•18 hours ago

Against onchocerciasis, the recommended usage is one dose PER YEAR. Maybe a repeat in 2 months in bad cases.

This is a super-potent drug and has not been tested for safety in the doses the covid-ivermectin cult takes.

And it can damage your liver in high doses: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9876768/

drmichaelmarks.bsky.social•13 hours ago

Oncho 150mcg/kg. Safety & PK studies done to 2000mcg/kg. In malaria used 400-600mcg/kg 3 days in a row/month for 3 months. Again not about if works for COVID(which clearly never going to) but many of us in global health use IVM a lot for humans & should not be presented as a drug only for horses.

philip-mach.bsky.social•13 hours ago

Thanks for the clarifications.

I’m not the one who said it’s only for horses.

Great, basic aerosol viruses, Covid, measels, flu...primer. Mask, filtration recommended. April 2024.

I hasten to to add this very important part from the article, how got off to the wrong start and were incorrectly hyperfocused on hand washing and surfaces.
"Traditional beliefs on droplet transmission help explain why the WHO and the CDC focused so acutely on hand-washing and surface-cleaning 🧵

rest108.bsky.social•1 day ago

at the beginning of the pandemic. Such advice overwhelmed recommendations for N95 masks that filter out most virus-laden particles suspended in the air. Employers denied many health care workers access to N95s, insisting that only those routinely working within feet of Covid patients needed them. 🧵

pjwm.bsky.social•23 hours ago

I do worry that this was at least a consideration when the WHO were so reluctant to declare it airborne.

Months after we knew it was for sure.

rest108.bsky.social•18 hours ago

Maybe I missed it, but can't recall the CDC come out and flatly say that Covid was airborne. And masks were always at the bottom of the list of mitigation measures, if at all.

pjwm.bsky.social•14 hours ago

The CDC? They were at least acknowledging the possibility by October of 2020.

rest108.bsky.social•1 day ago

More than 3,600 health care workers died in the first year of the pandemic, many due to a lack of protection."

I remember @chrischirp.bsky.social using capital letters for 'ITS AIRBORNE!!!!!!'
I followed her on xwitter - and also avoided the virus.

What happened to healthcare workers & elderly people was tragic. But, it made rich people richer, so......

Good demonstration of how masks change fluid dynamics.

If Ivermectin is so effective on parasites, how come Trump and his cabinet survived?

philip-mach.bsky.social•18 hours ago

It is not supposed to cross the blood-brain barrier (sometimes it does, with bad effects). If they have a brain that may be an issue.

Also: not good for brainworms.

metaphorqu.bsky.social•1 day ago

I wish that reminding people that if they come to choir with covid symptoms other people might catch it worked. (Grumbling for a friend.🤧🤒) Ok they may not have known they had the virus but I imagine they might have felt a bit off colour...

These things really, really should not need to be said. (they are "goes without saying" category)

I mean, how far do have to go back to basics?

'Gravity is real' - will that be a "contrarian, political statement"?

3k0bolds.bsky.social•1 day ago

Why not? "The earth is round" already is.

peterbarabas.bsky.social•1 day ago

True, those people literally question gravity and most don't even realize it.

I actually saw a peace of a video where a couple of these clowns were laughing at the idea of a round earth "just" keeping its atmosphere without a lid or anything.

That smug idiocy was really something to behold.

Ivermectin doesn’t even work for horses - there’s too much resistance in the worm population.

Ivermectin is used to treat pubic lice in humans.

Next idiot I hear yammering about the glories of ivermectin over vaccines is going to be loudly & repeatedly asked, "WHERE /WHO DID YOU GET CRABS FROM, MILDRED/MELVIN!??" until they shut up and leave in embarrassment.
