I was twelve years old when Bronski Beat’s ‘Smalltown Boy‘ came out in 1984. Having just realised I am gay myself, this was probably one of the most important songs of my life.

Congratulations 🎉 #Suriname is the first country in the Amazon region to be certified malaria-free by WHO.
This milestone is a testament to nearly 70 years of efforts to #EndMalaria across its vast rainforests & diverse communities 👉 bit.ly/44pLRCl

As NB.1.8.1 spreads, there’s only one thing spreading faster: misinformation. Here, I run down 5 of the most common errors I see circulating about COVID and encourage people to integrate airborne disease mitigation into their lives holistically.

I mask inside 😷, wear shoes and clothes, use an umbrella when it rains, a hat for the sun, a seatbelt in the car, a helmet on the bike.
I understand risk and take measures to minimize it. I use my brain to think. I cherish my health. I protect my family.
I'm weird like that.

For those – with or without children – who might care.
ICYMI: As kids keep getting sicker, media ignores scientific papers pointing to immune dysregulation and damage after COVID. Instead, parents are urged to “watch out” for unusual waves of RSV, flu, and more, while masks, clean air & COVID go unmentioned.

I just came across a really great film on ME/CFS: ‘Doctors as Patients‘. It’s made by my Dutch filmmaker colleague @anilvanderzee.bsky.social, who has been living with ME for 18 years himself.

Es waren nicht die Lockdowns und es sind auch nicht alle faul?! Wie erwartet machen Coronainfektionen anfälliger für Folgekrankheiten und Longcovid. Damit ist klar, dass Kinder, Familien und das Gesundheitswesen massiv belastet werden und wurden. Zahlen alle, monetär und persönlich. Masken schützen
Neue Studie zu Corona bestätigt: Betroffene anfälliger für diese Krankheiten
Eine Corona-Infektion macht laut Studie anfälliger für weitere Erkrankungen. Welche am häufigsten auftreten, berichten nun Forscher aus den USA.

A very interesting take on Covid in the context of radiology and gum disease.
If in Dec 2020 you had told me it would take until April 2021 to get my #COVID research published, I’d have been disappointed.
It has now been published (April 2025), 4 years later.

I second this position.
Most folk understand that HIV is very harmful long after the acute infection.
Most people think that Covid does nothing at all after acute infection.
The difference in understanding, I fear, could just be time.
It took many years for this to be widely acknowledged for HIV.
