Damage to all organs and systems from COVID.
April’s updated Covid vaccines are available.
Provinces say it’s for those at high risk but Health Canada states: “Those who aren't at increased risk and who are 6 months of age and older may also be vaccinated against COVID-19.” www.canada.ca/en/public-he...
COVID harms everyone:

“…it was observed that the occurrence of cardiac arrhythmias in the early post-COVID-19 period among non-hospitalized patients without prior CVD does not depend on COVID-19 severity.”

And furthermore. No insight.
Island kids in Fiji can’t get to school because boat fuel prices have skyrocketed. They have a message for world leaders.

Mask recommendations have been retired. Ventilation improvements (the single most effective structural intervention for an airborne pathogen) have barely been implemented at scale.

The word “airborne” itself, despite now being formally accepted by the @who.int, still hasn’t made it into the daily conversation about #COVID in any meaningful way".
☝️Not so, @ipaccanada.bsky.social & @cmadocs.bsky.social?
You are the VERY best - at announcing recent findings & explaining the very complex info/data. This led me down a rabbit hole & to tangents related to my splenectomy, which provided me more helpful info. Thank you (again!)😊
We're close to the world's first-ever broad-spectrum antiviral. In a breakthrough, researchers at the City University of New York have identified a promising path to the development of an antiviral that could be used to fight a wide range of deadly viruses, including future pandemic threats.
GOOD NEWS! Researchers have made a HUGE breakthrough towards a UNIVERSAL antiviral. By targeting sugar molecules found on the surface of many viruses that SHARE structural similarities, they identified FOUR compounds that successfully BLOCKED infections from SEVEN different viruses.
What is truly a miracle IMO is the adaptive immune system, which requires nothing more that that tiny forewarning of a pathogen that is provided by vaccination to render us invulnerable to it for life. If people understood how it actually works, vaccine skepticism would cease to exist.
Some universal truths from your friendly neighborhood hematologist
-every baby should get vitamin K
-no baby needs a chiropractor
-all menstruating and pregnant people should be screened for iron deficiency
-vaccines save lives, prevent cancer, and are a fucking MIRACLE
Study after study show that acute COVID is associated with serious damage to the heart and lungs and other organs.
Don’t get COVID. It’s bad for you.
Get vaccinated.
Wear an N95 respirator in indoor public spaces.
Clean the air we all breathe.
“Having underlying health
conditions at baseline was identified as the strongest risk factor for the development of post-acute
cardiovascular complications among COVID-19 hospitalized patients.
Long COVID impacts anywhere from roughly 1 in 10 to 1 in 3 of kids who are infected, depending on how it is defined.
That’s roughly 10% - 30% of kids in schools.
There is evidence that Long COVID incidencs increases per infection.
A good database: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/research/cor...
The average child has been infected multiple times now. And here’s what we know about the consequences.
COVID causes immune dysregulation.

Absolutely amazing.

Were these raggedy ostrich medical freedom yokels in remote BC about to cure bird flu & dethrone Ozempic? Was the farm really a multi-billion dollar biologics manufacturer disguised as a Maple MAGA convoy separatist squat?
Nah, it was a scam.

"It's all in your head"
is so much easier to say than
"I don't know"
let alone
"So, yeah, remember when I told you not to worry about COVID anymore, and that the pandemic was over? I may have been a teeny tiny bit wrong. Let's talk about #longCOVID..."
Please say Airborne.
Measles is airborne. It transmits via aerosols.
Inexplicit messaging is a form of misinformation. It’s ‘misleading by omission’.

TLDR: previous AHS CEO tried to get this money back in 2024, Premier and Minister intervened, told her to STOP and fired her for her "incompetence" in trying to do this...what's changed? Is it simply that the govt got caught and people have started to take notice?

6/ The good news is that in terms of protection, nothing has changed. Keep using the same toolkit you've been using: vaccines, high-quality masks, ventilation, and testing.
4/ One thing researchers are actively tracking: There are early signals that BA.3.2 might be infecting kids at higher rates, but it’s too soon to know if that’s real or just chance. Even if it is, it’s likely due to a mix of factors, including lower prior exposure to Covid in younger children.
3/What’s getting attention is the spike protein. BA.3.2 has around 75 changes compared to the strains in last fall’s vaccines. That means antibodies may not recognize it as well—but antibodies are only one layer of defense. Your immune system has other tools that still protect against severe illness
So it's clear that BA.3.2 preferentially infects children, something we have never seen before in a SARS-CoV-2 variant.
Why?
The question's baffled me, but after a suggestion from @darrenmartin.bsky.social, I think I have an explanation that makes sense.

A health reporter might want to write about Cicada (BA.3.2) preferentially infecting children.
If so:
* Please interview @ryanhisner.bsky.social, who knows his stuff better than just about anyone else on the planet.
* Please don't platform the usual minimizers.

There is a new COVID sublineage (BA.3.2) circulating in many regions, including here in Ontario.
*Clinical spectrum: same as before
*Diagnosis: same as before
*Risk factors: same as before
*Treatment: same as before
*Prevention: same as before
WATCH: Sask. is a potash and agriculture giant. So why is conflict in the Middle East a problem for farmers?
