At my rutine mammography today, I was the only one masking. Including staff.

But all the other patients almost ran over to use the hygiene sanitizers the second they saw my respirator 🤣 Hand sanitizers on all tables, to make people feel safe. The only one anyway near to actually being safe? Me.

Enligt nya Maktbarometern är två herrar som propagerade för smittskydd mäktigast på X.
Oavsett vad man tycker om dem i andra frågor är det väl ändå glädjande att det inte var några andra som inte fattade Covid.
Men båda verkar tyvärr nu accepterat läget.

Bad news: Swedish anti-vaxxers have been given leadership positions at the Swedish Public Health Agency and have succeeded in doing everything they can to take away the covid vaccine from everyone except a very narrow group.

Good news: All other vaccines are available, if for a fee (adults).

Bad news: Anti-vaxxers have been given leadership positions at US health agencies and are doing everything they can to take away vaccines.

Good news: Despite all their spin, in reality they have been too incompetent to do anything effective to restrict vaccine access in any meaningful way so far.

“Study challenges notion that Covid is ‘mild’ for children.”

You mean, just like EVERY OTHER STUDY on Covid in children?

This shouldn’t be framed as a surprise, or even news, but as established fact. The real question is why we’re still not trying to stop it.

5 years. Kulldorff still can't explain how "focused protection" works in practice. A magical noun phrase that implies that

(a) we can identify all the immunocompromised people at all;
(b) they can lock themselves down, without suffering economic consequences, and
(c) long COVID doesn't exist.

Michelle Cohen @docmcohen.medsky.social · 3d

"Lockdowns" were not a monolithic policy but instead became a politicized buzzword spouted by so-called "heterodox" figures to vilify COVID mitigation measures.

Lockdowns kill. Censorship kills.

AMPAR-spåret om långtidscovid, med en epilepsimedicin som tänkbar behandling.

Ina Hallström @killedbyproxy.bsky.social · 3d

"We derived the hypothesis that [11C]K-2 PET would be helpful in establishing a diagnostic framework for Cog-LC and that antagonists for cell surface AMPARs, such as perampanel, would be a potential therapeutic target."

Perampanel is an anti-epileptic medication.

That's an accurate description of how maskwearers are looked upon here in Denmark.

All thanks to the danish health authorities, who keep the public utterly disinformed about the longterm health damage from SARS-CoV-2, paired with the fact that nearly all danes trust the health authorities blindly.
