- PRESS RELEASE - Upper Air UV Pilot Project in Canadian Hospitals “Allowing 10% of our patients to get infected is unsustainable,” said Hunt. “The cost is simply too high. Billions of dollars are spent on treatment, and many billions more are lost to the inefficiency of blocked beds.” accessnewswire.com/newsroom/…

Twelve former US officials who resigned over Gaza are calling on 2028 presidential candidates to pledge not to hire Biden administration officials who were "architects" of its support for Israel's genocide in Gaza. The pledge asks candidates to: ➤ Acknowledge US "complicity" in the genocide through arms, funding and diplomatic support ➤ Bar any past or present political appointee who was "an architect, leader, defender, or key enabler" of that policy Signatories, including former State Department officials Josh Paul and Annelle Sheline, say those officials are "white-washing their own roles" and seeking "a path back into the halls of power."
"US officials take an oath... When they break that oath... we need to hold them accountable. No one is more aware of this oath than we, who resigned from our service to the US government over its illegal support for Israel’s actions in Gaza." See our statement & coverage ⬇️

How does someone that spoke with such certainty, whilst being so wrong, get promoted at WHO to take Mike Ryan’s role as Director Epidemic and Pandemic Management/WHO Health Emergencies Programme? Millions died thinking they were following sound advice in order to minimise their risk. It takes a profound lack of insight into the role she played in WHO’s farcical response to COVID-19, and also a pathological degree of narcissistic self belief to have the gall to never acknowledge the harm caused, to never offer an apology, and yet continue to try and lead the world’s response to the threat of coronaviruses.

I am stunned at the breathability test results for this Moldex Airwave N95. I've been testing various masks to see how breathable they are using a testing machine, and the Airwave was so breathable I had to run the test again with another sample just to make sure the test results were real. It is massively more breathable than other good quality N95s I've tested. --- Lower pressure drop scores mean it takes less suction to draw air through the mask. So lower scores are better.

Alleged killer of Hind Rajab traveling freely in the United States —— The Hind Rajab Foundation has filed an urgent request with the US Department of Justice demanding the immediate arrest and criminal prosecution of an Israeli military officer currently traveling freely in the United States, according to a public filing by the organization. The petition targets Sean Glass, a former company commander in the Israeli army whose occupation unit is directly implicated in the cold-blooded killing of six-year-old Hind Rajab, her family members, and the first responders dispatched to save her in Gaza City. Extensive investigative findings place Glass and his "Vampire Empire" company—operating under the 52nd Armored Battalion—in the immediate vicinity of the family's vehicle during the massacre, which saw Israeli occupation forces shell and riddle the civilian car with hundreds of bullets. The legal advocacy group warned that allowing an officer accused of egregious war crimes and acts of genocide to walk unbothered on US soil represents an intolerable collapse of international law and universal jurisdiction.

If you haven't been tracking COVlD closely the past 8 weeks, it's important to know that the CDC has made sizable retroactive upward corrections over and over. What once looked like a small wave or wavelet has nearly doubled in height.
PMC COVlD Update, Oct 17, 2026 (U.S.) Early Release COVlD levels have rebounded into a secondary peak, as the CDC continues to retroactively correct levels upward. Outbreaks span 44 states (see Alt). Levels are falling in TX, still high out west, & up in the Northeast. 🧵1/3

PSA. Flu season is starting very early this year. WW numbers aren't very high yet, but they are a couple of months ahead of schedule just about everywhere. Almost entirely H1N1. If you are getting a flu shot, don't put it off.

The CDC has made repeated retroactive upward corrections to estimated SARS-CoV-2 levels each of the past several weeks. PMC estimates of transmission are now higher than the time period many refer to as #DuringCOVID, the first 3 waves.
PMC COVlD Update, Week of Oct 12, 2026 (Posted 48 hrs early) 🔸Levels revised upward for a double-peak 🔸39-state outbreak (see ALT) 🔸PMC estimates 750,000 new daily infections, & 1 in 65 people actively infectious 🔸1st time starting Oct w/rising levels since 2020 1/🧵

PMC COVlD Update, Oct 5, 2026 (🧵1/5) ◾️Levels peaked at ≈610,000 estimated new daily infections in mid Sep ◾️36 states still with known outbreaks ◾️13th COVlD wave Details: The US has at least 36 states and territories with COVlD outbreaks. The apparent wave peak has passed, but transmission remains high across much of the country. States with observed outbreaks include Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Guam, Hawai'i, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Utah, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, and Wyoming. There are likely outbreaks in additional states. The summary statistic only includes counties with observed data, rather than estimated data. For example, Arkansas, DC, Idaho, Louisiana, Maryland, Nevada, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Wisconsin likely have outbreaks, but monitoring is poor. Use Layered COVlD Safety: ◾️Get boosted ASAP, especially if high transmission nearby. Novavax has a lower side effect profile than other boosters and comparable effectiveness. ◾️Mask up with a well-fitting N95 respirator. ◾️Improve air hygiene: Open windows, flip the HVAC from auto to on, shut off the car's recirculation 'feature,' add air purifiers, and / or use air quality monitors. ◾️Test daily when sick, exposed, or gathering, and stay home when sick. ◾️Monitor your blood pressure to reduce the risk of surprise post-acute cardiovascular sequelae. ◾️Spread accurate information by sending dashboard screenshots to family, checking the public health credentials and experience of information sources, and avoiding sharing 'miracle' interventions.

One year ago, I gave this interview to CNN about leaving the U.S. because of cuts to scientific funding and because immigrant scientists like me no longer felt welcome there. What followed was a difficult year. I applied for dozens of positions, received dozens of rejections, and eventually relocated to Germany. Even now, I still mourn some of those opportunities that never materialized. That's a normal part of the process. At the time, there was widespread concern that American scientists would flood an already saturated European academic job market. That never happened, and likely never will. The reality is that opportunities outside the U.S. are far scarcer than many people realize. Many of the initiatives and campaigns that promised a "safe haven" for scientists leaving the U.S turned out to be something else entirely. In practice, most were used to attract European researchers back from American institutions, while others functioned largely as political or media statements. Very few created meaningful opportunities for the thousands of scientists, immigrants and U.S. citizens, whose careers were disrupted by funding cuts and instability. The hard truth is that most scientists affected by these policies remain trapped. They cannot easily stay, but they cannot easily leave either. Meanwhile, the situation continues to deteriorate. I wish more institutions and governments expressing concern about the U.S. scientific exodus would move beyond press releases and empty gestures and invest in real pathways for talented researchers to rebuild their careers elsewhere. #BrainDrain edition.cnn.com/2025/06/01/w…
