Thank you to the couple people who masked at this conference 👏🏼

If you're going to dedicate your career to finding solutions for this terrible condition, you should be interested in preventing airborne viruses in the first place.

It’s basic physics & chemistry, transmission can be reduced or prevented..yet *6 years* into airborne pandemic, Irish public health officials are still giving bad advice that costs people their health & their lives..because “politics”, “face saving” & “potential liability”. Where’s the duty of care?

We’re five years into the pandemic, and the science is telling a very different story than “just a cold.” COVID affects blood vessels, organs, metabolism, and cognition — and the impacts compound with each infection.

Access to vaccines is not a privilege — it is a human right.

In @statnews.com today, Stefan Peterson and I write about using a human rights-based approach to deal with vaccine denialism and the return of measles, whooping cough and diphtheria

Children suffering from diseases that should have been consigned to history is a moral failure. Access to vaccines is a human right.

UPDATE: Canada has announced that it has lost its measles elimination status.

This is a direct result of the increase in anti-vax disinformation, which has caused large, sustained outbreaks in the country over the last year.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Tom Hanks explains to Stephen Colbert why he masks on the subway:

"I'm doing a play right now so I cannot get sick... I've had COVID enough in my life, I don't need to do that again. So I'm wearing this for health reasons."

Thank you Tom! Masks are still a key part of public health.
