THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a dual-antibody treatment that remains effective against ALL SARS-CoV-2 variants by targeting a less-mutable part of the virus. This breakthrough could lead to longer-lasting therapies that OUTPACE viral evolution. 🧪🧵⬇️

NEW: In response to orders by the Trump admin, the CDC has taken down the Household Pulse Survey, one of the biggest and most important sources of Long COVID data in the world.

The US government is literally erasing the existence of Long COVID.

This paper is interesting for a few reasons. It shows that mask mandates in healthcare protect patients from infections, and removing mask mandates in healthcare harms patients.

A facility without a mask mandate is making a *deliberate choice* known to harm patients.

While I am not a ventilation expert (by any means!), I briefly discussed this topic in my previous CO2 video (see link below).

A few people asked me to expand on how one can use a CO2 monitor to measure ventilation. In response, I put this together. Hope you find it helpful.

When it comes to the airborne transmission of viruses, how fast the air is physically removed from the room is important.

In my latest explainer video, I discuss how you can measure how well your home is ventilated, and what you can do improve it.

The idea that kids are low risk for post-COVID disability is based on error-riddled, retracted research.

Long COVID occurs in kids after 10-20% of infections. 6M in the US so far.

COVID denialism is an issue of child welfare. Their future and society’s is on the line.

And you can take action! 🧵
