▶️ Considerable research funding to find a cure for #LongCOVID.

▶️ And instead of a vaccine-only strategy, we need a #VaccinePlus strategy to combat the long term harms of an #OngoingPandemic, now in its 7th year -

@joncooper-us.bsky.social: Vax is THE most effective way to avoid #Measles, BUT #CleanIndoorAir can help while people get caught up on the vax.

Here’s a letter @onschoolsafety.bsky.social sent to our reps over a year ago, with sources:

After slow fall COVID shot rollout, Oregon moves to bolster public health officials’ authority • Oregon Capital Chronicle Not all states who are members of the West Coast Health Alliance for vaccines have moved at the same pace to ensure access.

And it’s long overdue that vaccines aren’t the the only focus & they need to start talking about BTIs. #VaccinePlus or long covid cases will keep rising.

Schools have become cesspools for cold and flu, but they don't have to be: Ontario School Safety The volunteer organization Ontario School Safety is calling on the provincial government to improve air quality in schools as flu spreads.

After the devastating loss of the 3 children in Ottawa, it was urgent to get info out re the additional ways avail to protect one’s loved ones from serious illness as we enter the holidays…

and to remind young fams this amt of sickness ISN’T normal.

On repeat:

For the love of all that’s good in the world, when will govt, the CMOH & the medical community finally adapt and promote a #VaccinePlus strategy that includes #CleanAir in shared spaces like schools & healthcare to reduce spread of the many common viruses we experience during the yr?

"The data on resurgence of pertussis presented herein and in other published studies highlight the importance of maintaining or increasing vaccination coverage during this period of high pertussis incidence after the COVID-19 pandemic," the researchers concluded. I’ve struck through the following text: during this period of high pertussis incidence after the COVID-19 pandemic

Again, editing is needed

Vaccinations are *always* important

Uhmm… these researchers ALMOST got it..they just need to truncate their thoughts

No comment on the lack of thought of a novel virus contributing to immunisation harm 😶

Vaccines are vital.

But they are not enough at this pace.

Need to employ a #VaccinePlus strategy as @onschoolsafety.bsky.social reco’d to Ontario’s govt back in April, because #MeaslesIsAirborneToo:

www.ontarioschoolsafety.com/updates/open...

Annual COVID Vaccines Save Lives, New Study Shows A new study shows that receiving an updated COVID vaccine reduced people’s risk of severe disease and death in all age groups, regardless of immunity from prior infection or vaccination

Everyone should get the #COVID vaccine twice a year, while bearing in mind that vaccination only slightly reduces the risk of #LongCOVID, for which everyone is at risk, with some at even greater risk -

#VaccinePlus

www.scientificamerican.com/article/new-...

@onschoolsafety.bsky.social understood this was an issue - it’s one of the many reasons we pushed for a #VaccinePLUS strategy back in April (oh, and last year also):

At this point, it’s hard to not see inaction as #PurposefulNegligence.

In Ontario, Canada, @onschoolsafety.bsky.social tried to get govt and Public Health to adopt a #VaccinePLUS strategy to reduce spread. The science and data are there for it…but no takers:

Exactly, @sameo416.bsky.social!

And at the moment with measles we would benefit from a layered approach as well. See our April ‘25 letter to the ON govt and public health urging them to adopt a #VaccinePLUS strategy:

www.ontarioschoolsafety.com/updates/open...

@onschoolsafety.bsky.social encourages pub hlth/govt to employ a #VaccinePLUS strategy to stop measles spread. Vax is the best way to prevent sickness, but cleaning the air can help as we work toward herd immunity thru vax. See our April letter here: www.ontarioschoolsafety.com/updates/open...

@meidastouch.com: Measles cases are ⬆️ in parts of 🇨🇦 as well. We at @onschoolsafety.bsky.social have been advocating for a #VaccinePLUS approach!

Altho the # has changed & we now know measles can also cause “immune amnesia”, here is our letter from Apr:

www.ontarioschoolsafety.com/updates/open...

Yep! And @onschoolsafety.bsky.social continues to ask Ontario’s govt and “CMOH” Moore to adopt a #VaccinePLUS strategy while we attempt herd immunity thru vax (and beyond).

Vaccines are your bullet-proof vest.

Damn protective against a stray bullet or two.

Not so much if you are surrounded by snipers aiming at your head.

#VaccinePlus was ALWAYS the way. Until C19. And now we reap the misery from Hybrid Immunity™️* & Immunity Debt scams.

And clean the air to help!

Here’s a letter we sent to Moore and the ON govt explaining how a #VaccinePLUS strategy can help people while we work toward (and long after) herd immunity through vax:

So glad to see hospitals paying attn to the flow & quality of air the staff, patients, and visitors are breathing.

A #VaccinePLUS strategy is key; making air quality a priority alongside vaccination will help reduce other #HAIs as well.

No downsides!

True but sadly funny.

We COULD however help reduce measles spread while we work toward herd immunity thru vaccination by adopting a #VaccinePLUS strategy asap…cuz #MeaslesIsAirborneToo!l and #WeHaveTheTools!

Kindly refer to this letter for solid info on how you can better protect your patients, visitors, and staff.

We need a #VaccinePLUS strategy, because #MeaslesIsAirborneToo.

Yeppers!

So many tools available to people right now, and so many more available the govt can invest in to keep Ontario families - and, by extension, our communities - healthy and at work and school!

While working on getting updated with your measles vax, open those windows, turn on your air purifiers, meet up with people outside, and mask up inside schools and on school buses!

OUTRAGEOUS that we are not throwing everything at this.

Not only can measles be dangerous in the short-term, but it can be so years down the road, AND it negates immunity to other things that we previously had immunity for!

We need #VaccinePLUS NOW:
