I wondered this in 2020, whether covid was affecting people so that they wanted to get out and see other people. It made sense from the virus’ perspective, if it wanted to multiply, and it made sense of the observational data. Some people with covid seem incapable of staying home

According to a new study
conducted in a hospital
“Airborne SARS-CoV-2
may transmit infection
after more than 4 hours,”
so the question
you must ask yourself
is not if you are in a hospital,
but if you are somewhere
that someone was exhaling
SARS-CoV-2
in the last 4 or 5 hours.

COVID Isn’t a Cold. It’s Cigarettes All Over Again.
5 years into this experiment: we let COVID rip and pretended it was fine. Damage piled up—unlike smoking’s slow toll, we’re seeing it in real time. Every infection leaves a mark; even “mild.” The bill comes due. We chose denial

A few days out from #UNGA80, I wanted to reflect on the session we took part in and the media responses since. Mount Sinai was one of the 150 organizations that signed the global pledge to advocate for healthy indoor air. The event itself featured four panels of speakers who

I did not know Long-COVID was more prevalent than asthma among young children.
I knew several kids (family included) growing up who had asthma.
This is deeply upsetting.

The word “autism” was first used to describe behavioral differences in children in 1911 but autism has been documented using available records going back to the 1700s (definitively) and further.
Acetaminophen (Tylenol, paracetamol) was discovered in 1878 and first sold in the United States in 1950.

What Brett Sutton is saying now is nothing new. He was one of the few CHOs who openly stated that #COVIDisAirborne even in the early crisis years of the pandemic. This is an official Victorian Dept of Health video from 21 Dec, 2021.

Kill someone, be delighted in your actions, show no remorse, pretend to be thinking about religion, get 5 months house arrest? Did I miss something?

You didn't like it when Trump said it, now be consistent and condemn this cowardly fence sitter of a PM presently trying not to lose all the Nazi votes.
Did you vote for this appeasement shit?
If you march alongside a Nazi, you legitimise them. You enable them. Good people don't do that.
