There is always a leader.
When public health steps aside like this, the most powerful voice in the room steps in.
Big corporations. Dark money. Your Uncle that got his data from “trust me bro” sources.

“Assess your own risk” was the most anti-public health slogan any public health official ever dreamed up.

While this is to be lauded, it always frustrates me that masking is *initiated* when levels are high. The best time to mask in hospitals is always; the second best time is when it is patently obvious that prevalence of flu / RSV / Covid is low but *increasing*.

Everyone is talking about how bad the flu is.
Media & healthcare facilities are pleading with people to get their flu shot.
To stay home when sick.
To wash their hands.
Very few are recommending masks. When we had mask mandates we eliminated an entire flu strain.
Mask up!

Reminders, as public health officials warn of a very bad flu season:
🧵
* Washing hands is not a strategy for a respiratory virus. N95s, ventilation, air filtration -- especially in hospitals.
* We should have been cleaning indoor air with the same effort we put into cleaning drinking water.

For me, a new phase of the pandemic began in May ’22, when I took more serious notice of troubling scientific studies that weren’t being reported by the media. It then dawned on me, like in a horror movie, that the government was going to simply nope out of COVID—& that everyone would follow suit.
Some say
this pandemic began
on November 30, 2019
as that was the day
of the first confirmed Covid case.
And some say
this pandemic began
on March 11, 2020
as that was the day
of the WHO’s pandemic declaration.
But I think all would say
this pandemic
has lasted far too long.

6 years today the first COVID case was identified in a man in Wuhan marking the beginning of a global pandemic that changed the world. We are way less prepared today to face another pandemic than we were back then. This fact makes me sad.

Now multiply that pain by the number of unnecessary deaths across Canada and around the world, caused purely by refusals to admit medical errors and learn from then.
