⚠️ I realize that people are tired of taking COVID safety precautions - but the findings from our Long COVID study are serious & I am DEEPLY CONCERNED that we as a nation are completely underestimating the potential long-term impact of repeated infections bit.ly/3XPCCYW

The @RUCSRR at Rutgers made this amazing resource--a comprehensive bibliography of books on Palestine from 1950 to 2024. Thank you @saharazizlaw and team for this incredible contribution! csrr.rutgers.edu/wp-content/…

A week or so ago, I decided to try and figure out how many colleges and universities changed their protest policies over the summer. The answer: 50+ campuses across the country.

One should take into account that future vaxs & medications may actually prevent COVID & long-COVID. Personal calculus of risks & payoffs should take into account this long game—ie protect yourself during this present dangerous period to arrive intact at the future.

"Compared to no admission screening testing and staff surgical masks, all scenarios were cost saving with health gains. Staff N95s + RAT admission screening of patients was the cheapest, saving A$78.4M." #DavosSafe

I will keep repeating that: Olfactory and cognitive systems overlap in the brain. The virus goes directly into specific brain regions --> brain scan shows volume abnormalities in the same regions ---> patients show cognitive decline and other behavioral alterations #neuroCovid
"In our cohort, all survivors experienced one episode of the original #COVID strain infection." The occurrence of cognitive impairment among older COVID-19 survivors was: 10.2% at 6 months 12.5% at 1 year 19.1% at 2.5 years post-infection. Still don't believe in #LongCovid?

Thanks I hate it!!!!!
Independent labs in the U.S. and Canada are now estimating *identical* levels of national COVID transmission. 1 in 73 Americans and Canadians are presently infectious with COVID. In a room of 50, there's a 50-50 chance someone has infectious COVID.

But how is that possible when face masks, respirators, and other PPE are now banned & criminalized in some cities and states?

It seems like the CDC telling the Public that COVID is Mild and how they can get repeatedly infected, while simultaneously detailing the Long-Term Damage it causes in a Blog on their own Website, may be a slightly misleading and problematic. blogs.cdc.gov/niosh-science-…

An old lesson we keep having to relearn: Big data loses to good data. “A survey of 250,000 respondents can produce an estimate of the population mean that is no more accurate than an estimate from a simple random sample of size 10… data quality matters more than data quantity.”

When you hear anyone in the news say "during the pandemic" or "post-pandemic", this is what they are talking about:

Over the last few days I keep coming back to this graphic. There are so many messages here. The one resonating for today is government disinterest. Disinterest in the health of millions.

A new gold standard review of 100 studies finds: - masks are effective in reducing transmission of respiratory diseases - N95 respirators are significantly more effective than medical or cloth masks - mask mandates are effective in reducing community transmission
