Flu season is well underway. Let’s agree that sick children should not be sent to school to spread it in the classroom
Flu is spreading earlier than last year, with children heavily impacted.
We call on the Minister for Education and the HSE to update public health advice to schools to account for airborne transmission of flu.
Press release is available here: www.cleanairadvocacyireland.org/clean-air-bl...

Great imterview. The concern about covid infection and re-infection perfectly articulated here.
“Although your immune system can take on [a COVID] infection, you want to avoid testing it as much as possible because your body is sustaining damage with each infection that it survives.”
This is one of the BEST short, sweet, and straightforward interviews I have ever heard about the consequences of covid infections and long covid.
Featuring @putrinolab.bsky.social obviously!!
If you need one radio interview to share with friends, family, etc. this is 💯

ZERO cervical cancer cases have been detected in fully vaccinated girls and women since HPV immunisation at age 12-13 started in Scotland in 2008. That's 17 years of proven success.
RFK Jr is about to scrap that in the US. 🤦♂️😬

Juneteenth is the perfect moment to remind everyone of two facts:
1. Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
2. Those who prevent history from being taught are plotting to repeat it.
Read this out loud. Read it again. Then teach it to your kids.

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

It's #cleanairDay in uk today. It would be a good day to take your CO2 monitor with you and record the levels in any indoor places you have to be. Anything above 800ppm means exhaled air is not being vented sufficiently.
