One of the reasons why I go so hard on science misinformation/disinformation, is that as a working scientist it is frustrating to see your research misreported to push an agenda.
For example, consider this piece of right-wing propaganda from The Telegraph that was just published

Among the absurd claims of your poorly researched article, this stands out: that we who still avoid Covid somehow ignored "worldview-shifting science" in a 2023 Royal Society paper. Let's have a look at that paper, shall we?

Hospital infection control has so much to answer for. There's this persistent myth that being an MD and being a good, caring, intelligent person are automatically the same thing, and they just absolutely are not. We need to re-evaluate the privilege of self regulation, because it doesn't benefit us.

My friend's sister is in hospital for a kidney transplant
Her husband is the donor
There is no mask mandate at the hospital
He acquired pneumonia & is in serious condition
10% chance he will lose his life saving his wife

It always blows my mind to read case studies out of Asia & realize that they are probably a decade ahead of public health in the West in terms of actually understanding respiratory disease transmission. Peak public health in the West seem to be don't test, don't tell.
![As the results show, it is most likely that in this outbreak, the
long-range airborne route made a predominant contribution to
the influenza infections [13], which the original study authors
also suggested. Moreover, the current modelling study suggests
the fomite transmission route played a slight role. The relative
importance of these two routes suggested by our results could
explain the following findings: ultraviolet radiation [39] and ventilation [40, 41] significantly affected the attack rates in some
influenza outbreaks, whilst little or no direct evidence has been
found to show that fomites can mediate transmission [8] despite
the emphasis on hand-washing and surface cleaning. In addition,
several control measures aimed at reducing the aerosol transmission achieved a good effect in the hospital after the outbreak [13],
which also supported the significant role of the long-range airborne route. As the original outbreak investigation [13] reported,
a series of measures were applied, such as isolating patients with
suspected influenza, usage restriction of aerosol-generating procedures, regular checking on air-conditioning units and settings and
the use of N-95 respirators. As a result, the hospital did not
encounter another influenza outbreak in open wards during the
subsequent year, including the first wave of the influenza H1N1
pandemic in 2009.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:f45rmqrfxsgogceeitwosszx/bafkreifgsn4qmlvrhjfgvuzs7w7pco375z6upln2appxlzqvy7k6baszae@jpeg)

Influenza A (specifically including H3N2) is a Risk Group 3 bioaerosol hazard. Check out the data sheet and then plug that into the CSA standard below to see what level of protection a Canadian employer should be providing if it *may* be present in your workplace.

4/ Ventilation saves lives. Clean indoor air, through ventilation or filtration, dramatically cuts the spread of respiratory infections. It’s time to treat air quality like food hygiene: a basic public health requirement.

For those who are unfamiliar, necrotising enterocolitis is when intestinal tissue becomes inflamed and dies.
It usually affects premature infants.
But now it's becoming more common in full term babies due to SARS covid.

Necrotising enterocolitis. FATAL necrotising enterocolitis.
University of Palermo doctors report a full-term newborn developed fatal necrotizing enterocolitis after maternal COVID-19 in late pregnancy.
The baby had no other risk factors.
This adds to at least 10 studies linking prenatal SARS-CoV-2 to NEC.
