"you're never gonna convince people to take covid precautions if you're judgy & angry on xitter" meh. people only care about your tone if they already don't want to believe what you're saying.

i would like to live in a society where it would be unthinkable - utterly inconceivable - for people to go to work/ school while sick

In new study, we show that SARS-CoV-2 has evolved decreased inherent antigenicity in humans, as quantified by a ~3-fold decrease in the number of naïve human B cells that can bind the spike RBD. doi.org/10.64898/2026.10.15.…

when i started masking again in 2024 things got very grim for me socially, and i remember a friend telling me that it was clear to him i wanted to live because i was masking to save what health i had left. 180'd my perspective

People will not like this, but masks and clean air are also suicide prevention.

Our study on virus-specific T cell activation in Long COVID (LC) is up on bioRxiv! We identify a subset of people with LC with persistently elevated activation of CD8 T cells targeting spike and/or EBV lytic antigens, consistent with viral persistence. biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…

Persistently activated virus-specific CD8 T cells indicate antigen-driven immune aberrations in...

Long COVID (LC) affects millions of people worldwide, yet its driving mechanisms remain incompletely defined and no treatment has been approved. Persistence of SARS-CoV-2 and reactivation of herpes...

The on/off revolving door of mask guidance in health care seems bizarre to me 😷 should be a fixture of patient care, just as gloves & hand hygiene are: not a seasonal precaution, but a fundamental part of our commitment to infection prevention, patient safety, and doing no harm.

being anti ableism is suicide prevention but a lot of you don’t wanna talk about that because you might have to stop punching down on people you think are “annoying/weird”

The irony of his final response, just dawned on me. He had acknowledged that if “advanced directives” go through, we would be in all probability, euthanizing people who did not want to die, but then stated that, that didn’t make euthanasia any less moral. When challenged on that point, he posted this reply and blocked me. I wonder if this is the same type of response that will be given to people under “advanced directives” as they are resisting and fighting against being euthanized.

Large upload from Ontario yesterday, providing striking revelations about the evolution of PJ.2.1. First, there is yet another hugely divergent branch of PJ.2. This isn't one variant: it's four. More & more, this resembles the emergence of BA.1/2/3. What is happening? 1/11

what a great reminder that sometimes people are staring at me in a mask because I'm doing something they want to do too. Breaking the illusion of "normal" is powerful, some have bad reactions, but try not to assume that staring is always malice bc it's not.

elderly lady in my music analysis course who gave me and my mask prolonged looks during the first lesson showed up wearing a surgical in the second. wondered if she was just sick but she still had one in the third lesson. might approach her next time to offer her better masks.

Do Covid infections weaken the immune system making you more vulnerable to other infections? Even covid infections that seem mild and don't kill you during the acute stage? Here's deaths caused by 'other viral diseases' as a share of all deaths here:

If you ever notice me repeating points across videos, it's not because I've run out of ideas. It's because I think we need to keep repeating the basics until the average person understands them. Repetition. Repetition. Repetition.

For those asking if this shocking new COVID testing guidance from N. Ireland can possibly be real… …yes, I’m afraid it is real. SYMPTOMATIC healthcare staff caring for IMMUNOCOMPROMISED patients are no longer recommended to test. Here’s the link ⬇️ publichealth.hscni.net/covid…
Cat in the Hat 🐈‍⬛ 🎩 🇬🇧@_CatintheHatSep 26
🚨N. Ireland have updated their COVID testing guidance (effective from 6 Aug): “Lateral flow testing for COVID is no longer recommended for SYMPTOMATIC healthcare staff working in clinical areas caring for PROFOUNDLY IMMUNOCOMPROMISED PATIENTS” Have no doubt, this will kill ☠️

many of you have gotten addicted to loudly and proudly advertising the uselessness of your ‘organizing.’ you should be ashamed and remove yourself from twitter and anything resembling leadership to go sit in your room and think about what you’ve done

Also, disability activists aren’t unreasonable. But unreasonable people have existed forever, in all forms, all tendencies. They’ve been overcome or integrated. If you let a so-called “wokescold” derail your campaign or push you out of organizing, I think that’s a skill issue.

Excess deaths from disease in preschool-aged (0-4 yrs) children continue at rates 10% or higher than before the 2020 pandemic SARS-Cov-2 ("COVID") has become, like polio before it, holoendemic

13 new PJ.2.1 sequence were just uploaded from the US, 10 from California and three from Colorado, so that makes a total of 21 new PJ.2.1 sequences on the day.

More PJ.2.1 - based on sequence retrieval from GISAID and sequence analysis in Nextclade, a total of 8 new sequences were deposited today, 6 from the US 🇺🇸, 2 from Spain 🇪🇸. It is noteworthy that the initial PJ.2.1 sequences were almost exclusively obtained from patients in the above 65 years age group. Some of the recent sequences were collected from younger individuals. Need to monitor this development. #PJ21

SARS-CoV-2 saltation variant PJ.2.1 has raised concerns over another JN.1-like event. Here we found: 1. PJ.2.1 shows markedly higher ACE2 binding. 2. PJ.2.1's antigenicity remains comparable to the JN.1 family. 3. No increased immune evasion against human plasma. While PJ.2.1 currently lacks the immune evasion capabilities of other contemporary strains (XFG, PQ.16.1.1, BA.3.2.2...), its robust baseline receptor-binding strength mirrors the early evolutionary trajectory of BA.2.86 to JN.1, necessitating continued genomic, epidemiological, and virological surveillance of the PJ.2.1 lineage. Details can be found in the recent BioRxiv manuscript: biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…
