"Young and middle-age adults who had at least one dose of a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine were less likely to die of any cause in the following 4 years compared with those who weren't vaccinated, a nationwide French cohort study found."

Just 34% of adults have gotten a flu shot; 25% have had a Covid-19 shot; 8% have received a vaccine to prevent pneumococcal disease, caused by bacteria that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis, and sepsis; and 6% have been vaccinated against respiratory syncytial (RSV), a leading cause of hospitalization in infants and older adults.

Yes! Such good advice: as well as masking, sanitising, & not shaking hands & esp not with men over 60: “Basically, avoid get togethers at the holidays. Do fun things you want to do instead.”

"The academy was inspired by the pandemic. 'As we reflect on the worst public health fiasco in history, our pandemic response has unveiled serious issues with how science is administered,' noted the college president in a press release.
But the venture isn't exactly an effort to apply science to the COVID-19 crisis. The so-called 'fiasco' was government pandemic measures like mask and vaccine mandates, contact tracing, and lockdowns.
Hillsdale is a conservative Christian institution with ties to the Trump administration. And the scholars behind the academy — Scott Atlas, Jay Bhattacharya, and Martin Kulldorff — are connected to right-wing dark money attacking public health measures.
The trio also has ties to the Great Barrington Declaration, a widely-rebuked yet influential missive that encouraged governments to adopt a 'herd immunity' policy letting COVID-19 spread largely unchecked, even as the virus has killed more than 800,000 Americans.
The academy is the newest initiative designed to provide intellectual cover to a nearly two-year campaign by right-wing and big business interests to force a return to normalcy to boost corporate profits amid a pandemic that is now surging once again thanks to Omicron."

A study of 28 million people found no increased #mortality risk in #COVID vaccinated individuals, supporting the safety of mRNA #vaccines. Vaccinated individuals had a 74% lower risk of #death from severe #COVID-19 and a 25% lower risk of all-cause mortality: doi.org/10.1001/jama... #vaccination

Metro Vancouver wastewater COVID surveillance data was published December 5. The most recent test was November 23. #covid #covid19 #wastewater #vancouver #yvr
A potentially very disturbing thread about ongoing Covid.
Unrolled, so you do have to go…

Europe is preparing in case the bird flu mutates and jumps into humans and meanwhile we have Trump in charge again and RFK Jr in charge of the health of our country;
“European countries have been advised to be ready to boost hospital capacity, encourage mask-wearing and quarantine sick people under a new plan to prevent a bird flu pandemic.
The plan sets out how European governments should respond if H5N1 mutates to spread between people, and is designed to get critical measures in place before the virus can trigger a major outbreak.
The document was sent to health ministers on Thursday by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), the agency responsible for shoring up Europe’s defences against infectious diseases.”
Day 5 of cant-get-out-of-bed sick with COVID. This sucks.

Y is for… Y’all Masking 💚
I got COVID a year ago, & it destroyed me. There is no such thing as a small cold anymore- every time I’m down for the count. #YallMasking?

Die letzten (hier stillen) Tage zusammen gefasst: Husten, Schnupfen, Heiserkeit bei negativen Tests. Letztes Wochenende dann plötzlich doch ein 2. Strich. Krankschreibung. Geschmacksverlust. Grippefeeling. Seit Donnerstag wieder "negativ", aber weiter anhaltende Symptome. #Covid #IsStillRuningWildBrothas
