  1. #medsky #scisky #polisky I need help falsifying a hypothesis: "A significant portion (>10%) of routine Ebola cases are a result of low-efficiency aerosol transmission." Yes, many official sources promise it's zero (as they did for COVID) - but what is the actual scientific evidence? Scientific...

  6. This is why the public *correctly* does not trust public health and IPC. It's not an isolated incident, there's a pattern of concealing risk for COVID but also e.g. hospital TB outbreaks etc. Define "contact" to limit numbers, then don't test = don't find = "not our fault".

  8. Of all the most 'Berta things out there, "No Auditor General report that might reveal government corruption can be published during the year before a scheduled election" is about as peak MAGA-but-from-Temu 'Berta as it gets. Nobody buries their successes. #cdnpoli #polisky #Alberta

  9. "Reducing all workers’ grievances into a class war “jams working-class voters into a prefabricated progressive agenda rather than taking seriously what they are actually saying.”

  11. It’s not all ‘class war’:

    “Economic grievance politics is a... small slice of what working-class voters are telling us.”

  13. Interesting parallel here with the violence committed by institutional medical culture, with its embedded tone policing (and in particular rejection of anything resembling kicking upwards inside its toxic hierarchies) vs the expectation of challenge that is indispensable to science. #medsky #polisky

  14. Getting #longCOVID onto the front page of a major newspaper like this is a huge win, and will leave medicine's management class needing to change its underwear. Between this sort of thing and the UK COVID Inquiry Module 3 report, the coverup is crumbling. Next up: accountability #medsky #polisky

  18. So I've been imagining that the widespread pseudoscience, bullshit and just general evil in medicine's management class is unusually high right now, but I am starting to think it has just always been killing people like this. Medicine needs policing-type community oversight. #medsky #polisky

  20. The impact of #longCOVID on the workforce, regardless of origin, is essential context. The decision to ignore that in service to special interests means workers are treated as consumables - disabled, cast aside and replaced. Immigrants make handy scapegoats, but they're not the cause. #polisky 🧵:

  21. The foundation of fascism is widespread hatred and distrust, where everyone is "other" and the individual bows down to tyranny out of fear of their neighbor. Hitler's Germany, Putin's Russia, Trump's America. The push to strip society of empathy is about building that foundation. #cdnpoli #polisky

  23. It's #LongCovidAwarenessDay. #longCOVID is about justice - workers' rights, equity, disability, the environment (add up the carbon footprint of the hospital days!), fighting misinfo and pseudoscience. If you care about any of those, you care about stopping COVID. #polisky #cdnpoli #scisky #medsky

  24. Myth 6: Trump’s wins came from a sudden “rural revolt.”

    Reality: Rural voters have been shifting Republican for nearly 50 years. The bigger 2024 story? A sharp drop in urban turnout, not a new rural surge.

  27. no better way to depart from #ecprgc25 than 👀 my paper just published in @[email protected]! I find localism in an unlikely place & show that people feel more represented when they live in incumbent MEPs' hometowns, using survey data from 🇷🇴🇭🇺🇮🇹🇧🇪 doi.org/10.1177/1465... #Polisky

  28. serious question: what is supposed to happen if the US Supreme Court a) decides something that clearly violates the Constitution or b) refuses to decide against something that clearly violates the Constitution? #USA #polisky
