⚠️WORST FLU SEASON ever since 2002-2003 when we began to track flu. Worst hit this year are children ages 0-4 and 5-17. ▶️We also have significantly LOWER flu vaccine uptake this year, one of the lowest flu vaccine coverages.

And just out of frame are the calm-mongers and infectious disease minimizers and their media enablers telling everyone that infections are fine.

The US have recovered over 1,000 death from Covid last week, the highest since September 2024. The death toll could be likely higher, given poor testing and surveillance. The pandemic isn't over, Covid isn't "endemic", a "cold", or "mild". It's not over.

A propos of nothing, TB is airborne (just like Covid). If I was in Kansas now I’d be masking indoors, avoiding close contact and crowded places, and filtering my air.

Hospitals need to be safe places for staff, for patients, and for visitors, with appropriate infection prevention in place... Please do read this petition, it's short and to the point. Perhaps you could sign, support, and share it widely? petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

Over 400,000 studies. It's no a cold or flu. It's not mild. Protect yourself and stop spreading it.

The JN.1 variant of SARS-CoV-2 resulted in a major Covid wave a year ago. A new report uncovers T cell immune evasion as a mechanistic basis. We've been preoccupied on neutralizing antibodies, not enough on cell-based immunity to the virus. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

This from the Australian Government today and our brand new CDC. Oh yes. The public will really be taking home air quality seriously when they see hardly anyone in healthcare doing it. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Please note that almost 2000 people died from Covid in the US last 2 weeks alone. I presume testing and surveillance is lacking, so the death toll is likely higher. The Covid pandemic isn't over. (data reported from BNO News; my original thread on X/Twitter)

Tick... Tick... Tick... People will say things like "Infection with seasonal flu may protect against H5N1" (see also common coronaviruses vs. SARS-CoV-2). Even H5N1 infection may not prevent H5N1 reinfection in cows (see also SARS-CoV-2 reinfections in humans). www.nytimes.com/2025/01/27/h...

Do you wonder why you haven’t heard much about this massive TB outbreak recently? Cuz the CDC can’t hold any press conferences or issue public statements of any kind. abcnews.go.com/Health/kansa...

@aine-lawlor.bsky.social A very important HSE report came out on 13th December. The HSE FADA Long COVID report. It finds 1 in 6 people have had long Covid. 58.1% have not recovered. Women in 40s are at greatest risk. It hasn't been covered yet on RTE as far as I can see. Why is that Áine?

No doubt about it Bernard. What if immunity debt isn't actually a real thing at all and it's actually Covid which is increasing susceptibility to other pathogens? www.thejournal.ie/over-1000-in...

🎄Happy holidays from Ernie, Bert & me. Bert is not pictured because she would not cooperate and I respect that. I am nervous about what’s to come next year but I believe in the power of community and we will continue to protect and care for each other
