The bitter pill, however, is that the updated LP8.1 vaccine is available privately, with a price tag that beggars belief.
Of course NHS resources are limited, but this should NOT mean two-tier healthcare.
It could also be a false economy; no vax costs more than a hospital stay.

Why investment in clean indoor air is vital preparation for the pandemics and climate emergencies to come
Unchecked airborne infections cost billions in lost health and productivity each year – likely more than the cost of better ventilation to clean up indoor air.

A fascinating new preprint w/one very unexpected finding suggests, I believe, that a large proportion of Long Covid may be due to chronic infection in a particular bodily niche, which could be crucial for finding effective LC treatments. It requires some explaining. 🧵 1/33
