Testing before visiting someone vulnerable isn’t overcautious, it’s caring.
Antigen tests help, and PCR or LAMP tests more reliably prevent weeks of illness for someone else.

“We are told by leaders that we are the future. But when it comes to the ongoing pandemic, our present is being stolen right in front of our eyes.”
Incredible speech by Violet Affleck who warned about the ongoing dangers of COVID & Long Covid, & advocated for masks and clean air at the UN today!

Very glad to hear 👏
Around 80-90% of our time is spent indoors - but indoor air pollution is becoming an increasingly significant part of the wider air quality challenge we face.
Today, I was glad to sponsor a roundtable on how policy can drive better practice and outcomes for indoor air pollution in our communities💨

As a personal advocate for healthy diet & exercise, I don't get these "wellness" junkies who ignore mountains of peer-reviewed science. Yes way fewer are dropping dead from covid. But Long Covid + post C health conditions are still a threat. Even for the young & healthy regardless of broccoli intake
RFK Jr. also falsely claimed that “healthy Americans were not dying of Covid... It was a disease that attacked the sick, as with all infectious diseases.”"
1) Well, that's definitely not true.
2) Pretending it were, that would've made it okay that they'd died?
This is just monstrous.

1. Perhaps the most damaging blowback from the response to Covid-19 in 2020 and 2021 is the mainstreaming of a public health ideology that is rooted in a dangerous combination of survivorship bias, nostalgia, and the naturalistic fallacy.

This isn’t a novel concept, it’s highly popularized. And the fact that we’re seeing this attitude resonate so deeply within the so-called opposition party should alarm the shit out of overton-window watchers.
“Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic,” they said. “That means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice and a third, a fourth. Then what happens?”
Abandoning trans people is 'fascist logic', says leading feminist philosopher

Nearly all the nominees for health agencies have engaged in spreading COVID disinformation & conspiracy theories over the last 5 years. I can't emphasize enough how dangerous it will be if they are confirmed. Motivated by revenge, they will try to dismantle all critical public health infrastructure.

NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.
Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions
