So… this response from a dairy farmer wrt H5N1 is a good example of why pushing “hybrid immunity” and “immunity debt” and “infection-acquired immunity” with Covid was a bad idea
The panel judged that mask use would probably increase health equity.
An additional *12 cases per 1,000* could be prevented with use of a respirator style masks vs medical/surgical mask.
Here's what we found. No surprise, masks work. Their effectiveness at prevention of COVID-19 infection and therefore Post COVID Condition increase at higher risks of transmission. With 100 people infected per 1000, masks could prevent *17 cases per 1,000*.
The first @CochraneCanada CAN-PCC Prevention Guideline recommendation is out: *We suggest masking for asymptomatic adults in community settings be used for the prevention of COVID-19 infection to prevent COVID-19 condition.* (Cond Rec, Low Cert Evidence)
Speaking as an epidemiologist, COVID denialism has set a new capitalist tone for ALL sectors of both medicine and public health. If our corporate overlords decide science isnt real, science isnt real.

Yet another school study demonstrating that ventilation & air filtration reduce Covid transmission: ▪️There was a statistically significant correlation between CO₂ levels ≥1,000ppm & Covid cases. ▪️Air filters decreased incidence of Covid cases. journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

Currently embroiled in yet another COVID outbreak. I remarked to my team that it was if we had learnt nothing. IPC out the window or non-existent. Has this really been put in the too difficult box? Please let's not just redeploy the hand sanitiser?

This is a critically important thread. If hospitals and healthcare workers cared about equity, diversity and inclusion, they would continue to mask. We are still in a pandemic, this virus is airborne and still with us, and it is still killing and disabling people.

So why is NHS infection control still wedded to untrue droplet dogma? We know, but we can't say, because we are made to feel afraid to speak up Think for a moment what this could mean about your safety, in any hospital
Despite intense @WHO anti-airborne propaganda, DHSC (CMO-led) knew, & publicised the truth E.g., this from Oct 2020 ✅SARS2 can be transmitted via exhaled aerosols ✅Risk increases exponentially at close range @ProfEmer @SafeDavid3 @cymru_inquiry covid19.public-inquiry.uk/documents/inq0…

You may have questions about this as a conditional recommendation. In @GRADE_WG -Strong Rec: virtually all people should follow; -Conditional Rec: may be more individual/nuanced based on individual values & preferences; You can learn more here youtube.com/watch?v=0ifM01…
Recs on masking in LTC, out-of-hospital clinical settings, and pediatrics will be coming soon. Other prevention recs on interventions for primary and secondary prevention being worked on urgently by the panel. Lots more great work to from this project & the other guideline panels
Direct link to the recommendation on masks is here: can-pcc.recmap.org/recommendation…
You can learn more about the guidelines and the many recommendations yet to come here: canpcc.ca youtube.com/watch?v=BzFWqt…
There's a lot of nuance and rich information to unpack in this work by a wonderful panel, but masks work to prevent COVID-19.
We also modelled that if all Canadians (population 41 million) used a reuseable elastomeric mask instead of disposable respirator for 120 days of mask use per year significant reductions in CO2e (produced from @NRC_CNRC Greenhouse Gas Equiv Calc): oee.nrcan.gc.ca/corporate/stat…?
The panel, in what is innovative in @GRADE_WG guidelines, also considered planetary health impacts of different kinds of masks.
The panel judged that mask use would probably increase health equity.
An additional *12 cases per 1,000* could be prevented with use of a respirator style masks vs medical/surgical mask.
Here's what we found. No surprise, masks work. Their effectiveness at prevention of COVID-19 infection and therefore Post COVID Condition increase at higher risks of transmission. With 100 people infected per 1000, masks could prevent *17 cases per 1,000*.
The first @CochraneCanada CAN-PCC Prevention Guideline recommendation is out: *We suggest masking for asymptomatic adults in community settings be used for the prevention of COVID-19 infection to prevent COVID-19 condition.* (Cond Rec, Low Cert Evidence)
Speaking as an epidemiologist, COVID denialism has set a new capitalist tone for ALL sectors of both medicine and public health. If our corporate overlords decide science isnt real, science isnt real.
Biden hired a dairy lobbyist to run the USDA, and it turns out they've been covering up widespread bird flu presence in our milk for months, going so far as exempting some farms from testing and concealing the data that is collected.
Chronic biopsy proven post‐COVID myoendocarditis with SARS‐Cov‐2 persistence and high level of antiheart antibodies 🔥A very interesting study (2022) that needed a revisit! ➡️Study: 14 post-C19 patients (50y+/-10y’s, youngest: 35y) were investigated that presented themselves…
So we know workers at every farm with sick H5N1 cows are getting sick. Some have sought treatment... which means some are getting pretty ill. Even if the mortality rate is low, adding this in on top of covid infections is one more tumbling domino in this slow burn apocalypse.
Yet another school study demonstrating that ventilation & air filtration reduce Covid transmission: ▪️There was a statistically significant correlation between CO₂ levels ≥1,000ppm & Covid cases. ▪️Air filters decreased incidence of Covid cases. journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…
For a reminder of why the @WHO report is anything but 'a transformation of how the world understands respiratory infections like covid-19, flu & measles', here's @mvankerkhove in Feb 2021 reminding us that SARS2, carried on infectious aerosols, 'GOES THROUGH THE AIR' @amymaxmen
@WHO @DrMikeRyan @mvankerkhove @mvankerkhove @WHO SARS-CoV-2 transmission (38:15) “IT GOES THROUGH THE AIR. There are droplets, there are aerosols; so these are particles of different sizes.” @microlabdoc @NjbBari3 @YouAreLobbyLud @FreshAirNHS #COVIDisAirborne
