1. The problem with the 'you must have had an asymptomatic infection' assertion is the premise which underpins it, namely that *infection is inevitable*. Infection is not inevitable.
Do you remember when Spain was having its largest known surge in transmission of the entire pandemic? I do. Because it's today. #MaskUp
Huh. The TGA page updated. But of course, it's not @Novavax related. It never is! Let the record show that for the minority of Australians unlucky enough to be medically intolerant of mRNA Covid vaccines, our procurement program is 1. Inequitable 2.Not Fit for Purpose
What is the plan. Are you going to continue socialising unmasked, continue to get infected, continue to infect others, continue to have your body breakdown, continue to get sicker and sicker, until… Really? That’s the plan? That’s the ‘normality’ you crave? It is a dumb plan.
Interesting that Victoria doesn’t top a single crime category. You’d never know it from the media -and certainly not from Bec Judd reporting live from the war-torn streets of Brighton.
Victoria is in the grip of an unprecedented crime wave! Except Victoria isn't the worst performing state on any single measure of crime.
WHY SARS-CoV-2 REMAINS the MOST DANGEROUS VIRUS of ALL TIME ? (🧵 mega-thread)
Be very careful with AI. See what AI says the study shows vs what the study actually shows. AI is supercharging ignorance and misinformation. jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…
This needs to be advertised far & wide so people know not to buy it. We need ‘American Made’ stickers on every product for sale in Australia so consumers are in no doubt which products to avoid. And f$@k all the politicians who quietly gave another $800m to USA for AUKUS!!

All the expected evidence for zoonosis is missing. All the expected evidence for a lab leak exists.
From a study with the hamster model for long COVID, "SARS-CoV-2 infects and persists in the brainstem for at least 80 days after the intranasal inoculation in hamsters. The infected animals exhibit a neurodegenerative molecular signature in the brainstem, which is associated…
Expect plenty of misinformation & disinformation as COVID transmission heats up. It's often fueled by low health literacy and numeracy, defense mechanisms (anxiety), clout seeking, or social media revenue. I discuss this in the Pandemic 5-year Anniversary video around 7:03.
4) Misinformation is based on cognitive biases that steer people toward easy-but-bad data or lead them to overestimate their skills. Disinformation can be blatant or grounded in specious pseudo-scientific arguments. Financial COIs are often the cause.
WHAT THE FUCK AUKUS IS BULLSHIT

Has anyone done the math to work out whether the majority of maskless HCWs have now killed someone with their SARS2 infected breath? Given the % of asymptomatic cases, lack of testing and the 10% mortality rate for hospital acquired infections I’d guess most are murderers by now

Now it would be Mr. Covid
The Mr. Cig cigarette mascot visiting hospital patients, 1948.
The sign at the front of the Very Big and Important Hospital said to please wear a mask. But reception wasn't wearing one. The nurse wasn't wearing one. The radiographer wasn't wearing one. The doctor wasn't wearing one. So why the sign at the entrance?
RIP @Bridget_OShea ‘think of the time you had flu, think about how it would impact yr life if you felt that way every day for months on end -empathize The smallest morsel of sympathy can make 🌎 of difference for someone suffering misunderstood illness bridgetoshea.substack.com/p/coming-soon
I doubt the cancer care staff who infected my friend with Covid know they killed him He was admitted to a different hospital for his infection to the one for his cancer treatment They told him it was safe to remove his mask, and probably never even noticed he didn't come back
“Long Covid *may* have surpassed asthma as the most common chronic health condition in children” in 2025….lets let that sink in for a moment……we’ve had FIVE YEARS to put in public health measures to protect our kids like clean air in schools and we’ve STILL NOT DONE it…..1/
A new NIH RECOVER study followed hundreds of children under 6 and found that up to 15% met criteria for probable Long COVID—many with symptoms lasting over a year. Distinct symptom patterns were seen by age group. Poor appetite, chronic cough, sleep issues, and fatigue were…
