if my husband was a political thug or identified insurrection instigator (same thing I guess) he'd be mercilessly disowned by my family and shuffling thru divorce papers. He would not be able to escape us fast enough. These bland denials from public officials and justices are not credible

Egregious public health failure to acknowledge airborne transmission of viruses has been called out in many major research publications. This Lancet letter is an excellent summary. Thank you

Error ⬆️ H5N1 is cows
H1N1 is swine flu. Sadly, chicken "litter" is fed to pigs as well which is both 🤢 and dangerous

they feed cows chicken "litter" which is just an upscaled euphemism for chicken Sh!T. Not at all surprised that H1N1 is infecting cows. #MedSky #NurseSky #Ecology #Science

Thank you RE recovery. Yes I find it profoundly disturbing that information is so accessible, that we've known about covid for long enough that thousands of papers have been published about the nuances of prevention and transmission, yet people remain willfully ignorant.

Avoided covid for 4 years. Finally infected by someone outdoors during a 15 min convo in which they 'mentioned' they were covid + as they walked away. Outrageous. So is the cost of Paxlovid for anyone without insurance, see below!

the corsi-rosenthal concept is genius, for sure. we have built three goofy-looking ones. only thing I haven't been able to figure out to my satisfaction is how to keep the duct tape from looking all squiggly. I wish more people would consider using them as a cheap efficient way to clean air.

The oncoming burden of long COVID is so large as to be unfathomable, which may be why minimal high-level planning is currently allocated to it. If 10% of acute infections = persistent symptoms, it could be predicted that ~400 million individuals globally will need support

Forwarded to many colleagues. Even if professionalism/ethics/rights arguments are not sufficiently convincing, why aren't providers protecting themselves and their families' health for selfish reasons? Infection control used to include both patient AND personal safety measures to everyone's benefit.

If only clean indoor air were a public health priority. Resp viruses, wildfire smoke, building materials (asbestos), gases (CO, radon), fumes from cleaning supplies, etc. all contribute to chronic illnesses. Elevated CO2 causes drowsiness, headaches, and loss of concentration. (gifted article)

Oh, no, but I get it. Sadly, it is often the best care providers with the highest standards and expectations who end up leaving because they know how things should be done but never are.

Blue state nurse practitioner here- university hospital- so I can't put all the blame on politics. Many colleagues read the same science I do yet do not implement protective measures. Inconvenience? Denial? Mask availability? Maybe hospital $$ pressures? And, yes, vanity, all probably contribute.

I think vanity and inconvenience- not principle- STILL underlie mask resistance. People w- public profiles didn't want masks interfering with carefully crafted image management schemes. Masks wreck hair/makeup and may not be comfortable when they don't fit. Vanity + inconvenience = ignore the data.

When we warn the real threat of AI is how it’s used against people in the present, not the fantasies that some day computers might think for themselves, this is exactly the kind of thing we’re talking about: health insurers using AI to deny care.

Ethical/professional standards have not shamed healthcare providers into regular masking. However, it is baffling that self-protection is not convincing enuff. How is it possible that evidence-based practitioners are OK with unprotected exposure to their sickest patients? #MedSky #😷 #PsychSky

I've worked in HC for 40 years and always thought a) I'm unembarrassable and b) nothing grosses me out. Nope. The idea that we should be wondering whether types of clients/patients are expendable cuz it's too cumbersome to upgrade HVAC systems and provide reliable PPE is both shameful and nauseating

Thoughtful look at not reporting failed trial results from participant POV. They have already given their time and effort. Don't we owe them answers as well as thanks? Omitting failed trials from publication and other databases implies that their contribution to science doesn't count #MedSky #PhDSky
