Today I went snowshoeing with a friend. 3 hours, 6 km, and we wore N95s the whole time! 😷 #StillCoviding #MaskUp #CovidIsntOver

I thought about Colten Boushie today. I encourage everyone who is not aware of this young Indigenous man's story to learn about him. He was murdered by a white farmer who shot him point blank in the head, but his murderer Gerald Stanley walked free. www.aptnnews.ca/national-new...

If researchers are working on covid/ long covid and not masking and taking other precautions, it's because they're doing the research to make money and gain prestige, not because they actually care about helping people. #MaskUp #CovidIsntOver

Is H5N1 airborne? The precautionary principle states we should assume yes until proven otherwise. "Can avian flu spread via the wind? Can't be ruled out, experts say" www.cidrap.umn.edu/avian-influe... #IDSky #MedSky #MaskUp #CleanTheAir #InfluenzaIsAirborne

As the public gets sicker, states begin to claw back benefits. From Germany to the UK to France, we see record illness and long-term sick leave numbers, accompanied by backlash & blame from the very governments harming and disabling them: www.thegauntlet.news/p/as-sick-le...

Your reminder that people with less mental capacity to tolerate ambiguity and complexity are more likely to be attracted to conspiracy theories. It's easier for these people to believe that some evil people in power are causing problems, than to accept that something is multi-factorial and complex.

Good to see a popular educational Youtube channel (SciShow) make a concise video on #MECFS and why exercise makes it worse (8 mins). Also includes a brief section on the PACE trial. youtu.be/wxSwYUennBA?...

We recognize that people wear masks for many important reasons. Why do you mask? Help promote health and safety in our communities. #Masking #KN95 #YallMasking #PublicHealth #InfectionPrevention #COVID #COVID19 #CommunityHealth

In 2 days I will have finished 1 month of my low histamine diet. 2 more months to go. On an already restrictive diet, this is really hard... I miss chocolate. And strawberries. And bananas. And avocados. And vinegar. And... #LongCovid

New from me on @healthydebate.bsky.social “With the U.S. sidelined, it’s critical we monitor avian flu outbreak” healthydebate.ca/2025/02/topi...

No. The time to panic is never, and the sooner public health and media stop framing it this way the better. Should we take COVID, influenza, and other pathogens seriously? Should we mitigate their transmission? Should we increase surveillance? YES. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

I spent weeks looking at the transmission dynamics of H5N1 in California and came to exactly the same conclusion, namely that the scale of transmission could only be fully explained if long-range airborne transmission was a factor. www.ctvnews.ca/health/artic...

A few people have kindly lobbed this into the tl, but here's my own gift link: Me, in NYT Opinion, arguing we're not failing to handle H5N1 flu in cattle because the response is based on plans for bird flu in poultry and doesn't match dairy farming structures. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/o...

The Victory Has Been Won Over Public Health, But Why Is Everyone Still So Ill?

Life-threatening infections in Texas have soared among women losing a pregnancy after the state’s abortion ban. www.propublica.org/article/texa...

For the second time in 2 years I ate some almonds and I'm unhappy to report my digestive system does not tolerate them.😔

That #covid infection does less for your immunity system than you think it does. "Pre-Omicron, infection meant you had 80% protection against re-infection one year later. Post-Omicron, this has fallen to 5% protection at one year." www.gavi.org/vaccineswork...

People outside the COVID informed community see many of us as stuck in 2020 & 2021, while it’s obvious to us that most ppl are pretending to live in their 2019 fantasy where COVID doesn’t exist & doesn’t harm or k*ll or disable people (your risk of LongCOVID increases with each reinfection) 🧵 1/3

Heart damage found in over 85% of those with persistent symptoms triggered by a SARS-CoV-2 infection. And yet every day people are just huffing that toxic air, begging for their 4th, 5th, 6th infection, …

I had a lovely visit today with another Still Coviding friend. We met indoors at a very quiet area (today is a holiday Monday) but were both masked (K/N95s). So grateful to have an IRL still coviding friend! #StillCoviding #CovidIsntOver #MaskUp #CovidIsAirborne

I'm from the northern prairies and we get a lot of snow every winter, but this is a lot of snow in a short period of time. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
