“Surgical masks, the authors argued, offer inadequate protection against airborne pathogens such as SARS CoV 2... To a lawyer trained in occupational safety reg. or human rights litigation, this is not an academic disagreement. It is a warning that existing standards may now be legally indefensible.
Woah - this cd have some far reaching consequences; even in a world that has abandoned public masking.
If WHO admits that surgical masks are useless against airborne pathogens like Covid it will unleash a host of consequences. And if they don’t, it will likely come back to haunt them anyway….

Stronger ties. Bigger markets.
2025 has been a breakthrough year for European trade.
The EU expanded its global reach, broke down barriers, and delivered real results for businesses and citizens.
Europe owns the moment with secure supply chains, stable markets, and more opportunities ahead ↓

By rejecting the bombast of 80s pop, the late singer-songwriter’s track has endured, and thereby perfectly captures the nostalgic feelings at the heart of Christmas

To see that staff have been told not to test for Covid when there are millions without Covid vaccine access is unethical. I know several now with Covid heart damage. My relative died from Covid. What’s happening to our country? Ethics out the window. If we aren’t standing up for things like this

Great to have such an enthusiastic support for rejoining Erasmus from the Vice Chancellor of Oxford University on #t4today
No stupid questions about whether this was anti-Brexit.
Just unequivocal celebration of the chance to broaden our horizons again. A step on the road back to sanity.

So, to those who say "masks don't work", cite the flawed Cochrane report, insist upon an unfeasible RCT, accuse folks of panic, and undermine public health on social and mainstream media during a flu/RSV epidemic...

It is absolutely wild that the guy who won’t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly what’s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.

This is the health advice in New York on our current situation. The Public are being advised to wear an N95/ffp2 respirator. This is the correct advice. The disparity between this advice which is correct for airborne transmission and UKHSA saying wear an FRSM is huge.

Apologies are extremely rare in the world of ME/CFS, so it’s encouraging to see such a good example of someone acknowledging a mistake, taking responsibility and implementing a solution. This is how you write an apology. I’d like to see more of this, please.

Video clip of Natasha Devon raising concerns about Simon Wessely being involved in the government’s ADHD review.
She says it feels like a foregone conclusion because Wessely has already made comments about young people “overdiagnosing” their own mental health.

Unusual?
Repeated COVID infections
Immune dysfunction
Low flu vaccine uptake

How about masking, resting, and not spreading it around? 🤷♂️

Spain may bring back indoor face mask rules as flu and COVID cases surge. Health leaders will meet on Dec 3 to decide whether masks should again be required in hospitals, health centers, and possibly other crowded indoor venues like cinemas or theatres to help reduce transmission.
