Campaign call: the catastrophic impact on the healthcare sector of the failures of pandemic emergency planners - discussion led by David Osborn - Davit, a health and safety practitioner and former Emergency Planning Manager will discuss the fundamental flaws in the thinking of the pandemic planners as evidence by NERTAG member Robert Dingwall's post on X: "There was insufficient evidence before 2020 to justify spending large sums of taxpayers money on masks, the evidence remains uncertain.

Persistence of Post-Acute COVID-19 Sequelae (PASC) symptoms in healthcare workers four years after ancestral SARS-CoV-2 infection: a prospective multicentre cohort - Infection Purpose Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 Infection (PASC), or long COVID (LC), remains a significant burden for public health, with limited long-term data. This study aimed to assess the prevalence a...

13 of 24 symptoms were more common in infected individuals and
#PASC symptoms persisted up to 4 years (that was the maximum time of follow-up and likely means forever) after a #aSCV2 infection in a substantial proportion of #HCWs ( #healthcare workers)

Time to #DropDropletDogma, protect #HCWs & patients, warn about #Reinfections & #LongCOVID, advocate for masking (with #N95s) & #CleanAir, or remain on the #WrongsideOfHistory in 2026?

Meanwhile the #USA is bleeding #HCWs & the #UCP is doing nothing to persuade them to work in #Alberta.😠

Hybrid Immunity Significantly Reduces Long COVID Risk in Health Care Workers COVID-19 vaccination, especially with prior infection, significantly reduced the risk for long COVID in health care workers.

#COVID19vaccination, particularly when combined with prior infection, substantially reduces the risk for #longCOVID among #HCWs. Published in @cidjournal.bsky.social and @infectiousdisease.bsky.social.

a woman wearing a black sweater and a necklace is making a face . Alt: A woman in black yelling YES. She is probably a HCW or a teacher.

Every morning I wake up & think gee, I wonder who will be the next MLA on the Alberta recall list??? 😏

Maybe it's time for @cmadocs.bsky.social to #DropDropletDogma, or risk staying on the #WrongSideOfHistory -

"Surgical masks are not considered #Respirators [ #N95s] and shall not be used as respiratory protection by #HCWs":

A lot of people especially #HCWs NEED to understand that “I’ve researched my symptoms” ISN’T “consulting dr ggle, especially for the chronically ill/undiagnosed people. There’s studies, research papers, articles, & what HOSPITALS post abt many conditions (& also listening to other disabled people).

Everyone, please be mindful of some of the stuff you say on here. I understand that emotions are hot regarding the government funding, and a LOT of people hate Democratic members and leaders on here.

But y'all, another year of subsidies is not nothing. Your #HCWs are TIRED, and have lost so much. 🩺

Daughter's housemate just got out of hospital. Brought home #Covid to at least 1 other housemate. Fingers crossed for the others. I am so pissed at #HCWs who don't #Mask.
Irresponsible hospitals and HCWs. 😡
#MaskUp, dammit!

If you are working in a care home or hospital in the UK please open windows. Wear an ffp2 masks, new covid strain incoming that will be dangerous especially to elderly and young children. Also vulnerable and everyone from long covid.
#HCWs

Always prepped. 😷💉🧤
#HCWs #ICU

We often encounter #hostile #HCWs who are #ableist, under-educated about #autoimmunity & #disabilities, and display #prejudices #biases towards #patients based on #MentalHealth, perceived #class #income, #age, #weight, etc. Their go-to tactic is to claim #NonCompliance & wrongly #weaponize #CPS.

In our @3wishesprogram.bsky.social, acts of kindness for dying patients are completed by #HCWs. At one of the newer hospitals I've started it at, I learned that 2 male charge nurses have told their crew that this was a "women's thing", which means dying patients with male nurses don't get wishes.

#HCWs, know what to do when ICE comes to your work. Patient care comes first. #medsky

"Flu vaccination take-up among healthcare workers is just 30% this winter, according to figures from the Health Service Executive.

The figure is far below the HSE's target rate of 75% for staff in the sector."
#HCWs received a scientific training & know the score about infectious diseases,

#Burnout

Organizational #wellness programs for physicians and #HCWs often put heavy emphasis on individual resiliency. Yet systems issues are major drivers of burnout. Here is a systems level approach to consider.

#MedSky #MedEd #Skychiatry

That the #LNP had 12yrs & a pandemic to show NSW they didn't care about public health & #HCWs with the full endorsement of all the major MSM & only now are those same media outlets pointing out the problems is very telling.

Welcome to the newsfare Victoria has been served up for the past 10½yrs 😔

One of our #nurses, a @3wishesprogram.bsky.social champion, is a pro at making these hand molds for families. Here, death hits close to home & she asked to make one for her own husband & FIL. So glad that @3wishesprogram.bsky.social also bring comfort to our #HCWs in multiple ways. Shared with perm.

This is so, so sad.

From honouring #HCWs with the clanging of pots and pans to rewarding them with chronic illness and all the uncertainty and life changes that come with that.

So short-sighted. So cruel.

#HCWs

Why are healthcare workers doing this?

I don’t understand the total disregard for patients’ health, and their actual lives, in a healthcare setting. It’s such a disconnect to their purpose.

What happened to them to make them act like this?! 😞

#MedSky #HCWs #NHS #Healthcare #PatientSafety

All - #Long Covid affects so many people, and healthcare workers (HCWs) have been disproportionately affected. If you VALUE your #NHS and #HCWs then take action, help us get this debialting condition getting recognised for what it is. Write to your MP

#ukhealth #NHS #HCWs #CovidBoosters

#Doctors, #Nurses & other #HCWs carry their patients’ stories, the triumphs & the tragedies, home with them every day. I’m glad they have the courage to be vulnerable, allowing themselves to be touched by lives of people they care for. It matters to #patients & #caregivers.
