"As much as we are meant to be stewards of the land, we also must be stewards of each other. Of our community. Of those who cannot take care of themselves. Those who claim they care about accessibility must do the work to make socialization and gathering truly accessible and safe.”Much gratitude to @brennan for this scientifically sound, well-researched article that cites its sources. Health journalists and science communicators take note: this is how it is done. https://brennan.day/the-pandemic-never-ended-we-only-pretend-it-did/#CovidIsNotOver #MaskUp #LongCOVID #MEcfs #PublicHealth

Hi!Jennifer Hamilton here, formerly of med-mastodon.com. That server shut down suddenly. If you followed me before for my toots about #vaccines, #PublicHealth, #FamilyMedicine, my gripes about #ElectronicMedicalRecords #EMR, or even just a few #caturday pictures and chats about bicycling, I'm on mstdn.science now.The old #MedMastodon went down suddenly in the last week of December 2025, and I don't have a list of my old followers. Please boost this so they can find me!

Six years without getting sick isn’t a miracle. It’s what happens when airborne problems are met with airborne solutions.Respirators work quietly, consistently, and without spectacle. For the people wearing them, and for those who can’t afford another infection.Read the full article by David Brasure: https://whn.global/six-years-and-six-winters-without-getting-sick/#LongCOVID #CleanAir #MasksWork #PublicHealth #Prevention #HealthEquity #COVID #MaskUp #InfectionPrevention

"We find that aerosol transmission accounts for approximately half of all transmission events. This implies that measures to reduce transmission by contact or large droplets may not be sufficient to control influenza A virus transmission in households."

Citing "serious ethical concerns," journal retracts key Monsanto Roundup safety studyAn inherently dangerous product - and product system - that has deleterious effects to all human, animal, and plant life on Earth. It works by injecting a genetic antidote to specified crops and then eventually killing everything else without any reliable means to prevent the toxic part - #glyphosate - from going everywhere. It's not "just a weed spray". Thousands have died and possibly tens of thousands permanently disabled or eventually-poisoned without knowing, with very specific oncology that can be identified in humans but isn't because we don't get tested for it.Monsanto-Bayer has been getting away with it in large part because of a liability compartmentalization & management scheme that provides them virtual legal impunity; and the fraudulent "science" like this, for which they have paid lots of money. So it is a VERY big deal that this fake science has gotten retracted. Bayer will no doubt sue the fakescience/retractor publisher out of existence but that isn't the story.https://www.thenewlede.org/2025/12/citing-serious-ethical-concerns-journal-retracts-key-monsanto-roundup-safety-study/#publicHealth #healthNews #bigAgra #bigAgri #agrichemical #legalNews #medicalResearch #publicSafety #humanSecurity #environmentalRacism
