This paper is interesting for a few reasons. It shows that mask mandates in healthcare protect patients from infections, and removing mask mandates in healthcare harms patients.
A facility without a mask mandate is making a *deliberate choice* known to harm patients.

![In unadjusted analyses, the mean weekly ratio between hospital-onset and community-onset infections increased from 2.9% prior to Omicron dominance to 7.6% (95% CI, 6.0%-9.1%) during Omicron dominance. After universal masking and testing ended, it increased to 15.5% (95% CI, 13.6%-17.4%), then fell to 8.0% (95% CI, 5.0%-11.0%) following resumption of masking among health care workers. Under the adjusted Poisson model (Figure), cessation of universal masking and testing was associated with a 25% increase in hospital-onset respiratory viral infections compared with the preceding Omicron-dominant period (rate ratio [RR], 1.25; 95% CI, 1.02-1.53), and resumption of masking among staff was associated with a 33% decrease in hospital-onset respiratory viral infections (RR, 0.67; 95% CI, 0.52-0.85).](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ou6sjyhswn7s3qyfqhw7mbk6/bafkreidt6unblorj2gvpt3yv5cdnyveps6weacjjtmoz5d4vtrwy7244hu@jpeg)

Those who oppose Covid mitigations say it’s because we won’t stop until we reinstate lockdowns
Many disabled people have been locked down for 5 years. All we want is safe access to public spaces
Just give us clean air, paid sick time & masks in high risk public spaces.
It doesn’t have to be hard.

And that’s just the symptomatic stuff.
There’s other stuff like blood pressure, cholesterol levels, vascular damage markers…

What do we think the ratio of “I know I have a covid complication” to “I have a covid complication but I haven’t realised it yet” is?
From my *social circle* I would say about 1:7.

@teamlabouruk.bsky.social Why are they not available to all? Why is JCVI being allowed to restrict vaccines, the majority of clinically vulnerable aren’t getting invites. Hospitals are overloaded with COVID elongating stays.
Vaccines against COVID-19 saved over 20 million lives in the first year alone, according to a study in Lancet Infectious Diseases. Anti vaxxers conveniently ignore such stats.

The curse of the ‘bespoke non-standard cost-effectiveness assessment’ strikes again…
JCVI have just announced the eligibility criteria for the Spring & Autumn 2025 Covid vaccination campaigns.
I’m afraid it’s not good news.
Eligibility has been yet further reduced ⬇️

COVID VACCINE ELIGIBILITY 🇬🇧,
a thread🧵
JCVI have just advised that, going forwards, eligibility for Covid vaccination will be even more tightly restricted.
But the ‘bespoke cost-effectiveness assessment’ upon which this is based is heavily flawed…

Useful post for the Covid conscious.
🔍 This is a work in progress!
We're building a list of Scientists and Experts you might like to follow so that you can stay up-to-date with current Covid risks and mitigations.

The world isn't just ignoring the mountain of scientific evidence about Long Covid's severity—the world is actively misreading it to claim the exact opposite. We have evidence that Long Covid is a big deal; they're pretending that the evidence says that it's not.

I never expected we'd reach a situation where people are more concerned about getting a virus on their PC or mobile device than they are about getting a virus that infects their own body - one which can significantly change their quality of life, or even end it.
Yet here we are.

Until the government invests in ventilation, we must *all* act to protect vulnerable lives from preventable airborne infections.
