@safedavid3.bsky.social David, we last spoke here when you were posting about asbestos. I wonder if you could advise on something else.... bsky.app/profile/safe...
It is difficult to press the "like" button on social media when you come across such sad stories.
It makes you wonder just how many others are going through the same thing.

Anyone who isn’t masking & using air purifiers in classrooms is a child killer.
These people are literal baby killers
The CDC officially adopted ACIP recommendations to change the universal hepatitis B vaccine at birth; the agency says it will still be available through Vaccines for Children. They're still reviewing the rec on blood testing.

Which are you? You have to accept everything on the list. You can't pick and choose. Every time you get Covid you're passing that on to others and increase the surge. Some of those you infect will get long Covid and some may die.

The solution to prevention has been there all along. Public health and infection control don't like it, so it is ignored.

This is outstanding, and hugely important. The culture of impunity in IPAC can literally kill you, because your life is less important than the hurt feelings of some asshat who memorized a bunch of misinformation about aerosols in medical school and hasn't learned anything since.
UK British Occupational Hygiene Society clarifies that surgical masks are not PPE, and following IPAC guidelines does NOT fulfill an employer’s legal duty to provide respiratory protection.

Hello @richardiiisociety.bsky.social
Been thinking about joining the Richard III society—especially since my sister used to park on his grave.
Feel the loss of a premium parking spot in the town center— very handy for shopping—should qualify us for free membership.
It was quite a sacrifice.
