Yes please, @johnfraseros.bsky.social, can you help us get the Minister of Health’s attention to offer Novavax as an important option in fall 2026? Some folks can’t take mRNA vaccines, and some of us prefer protein-based because the science looks more promising for longer-lasting better protection.
Yes I missed the honorary doctorate as well!
I mentioned some of these in an interview with @anamariecox.bsky.social recently. The last one reminded me how the show is a great example of earnest effort and respect for source material absolutely paying off.
Respectfully Jon Stewart, you were wrong on the @weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social to mock people who mask. ICYMI: there are tens of millions of Americans who have been disabled by #LongCOVID and must do everything in their power to prevent further infections that make them vulnerable to further

All I want for Christmas if for my kid to breathe clean air at school, for adults to get why that’s important, & take steps to make it so
Clean air for kids & staff in schools & daycares shouldn’t be controversial
If you agree, please sign & share!

Just one more reason Canadians will not buy US produce… sorry to my American neighbours, not sorry to your President and RFK.

Looks like their plan to boost productivity by ushering everyone back to the office in an ongoing pandemic didn't play out as expected

Screenshot from Health Canada indoor air quality guidelines explaining diseases caused by bacteria, viruses, and fungi. The highlighted section notes that COVID can remain suspended in air and travel longer distances, hence the importance of masks, ventilation, and HEPA filtration to lower spread
Ohh damn there it is
Excerpt from Sept 2025 guidance for indoor air quality professionals PDF by Health Canada. I've highlighted the phrase In addition to (followed by advice to recommend respirator masks) Ventilation can help reduce viral transmission in indoor spaces by preventing the accumulation of potentially infectious respiratory particles in the air. Good ventilation, combined with other personal protective measures, can further reduce the risk of infection. In addition to improving indoor ventilation, the following should be considered (PHAC 2021a, 2022, 2023a, 2023b, 2023c): • Encourage occupants to stay home and away from others if they are not feeling well. • Limit the amount of people in areas where ventilation is poor. • Have policies that require or strongly recommend people to wear a well-fitting N-95 or KN-95 respirator mask in indoor public settings. • Provide supplies for people to clean their hands often (e.g., soap and water, or alcohol-based hand sanitizer containing at least 60% alcohol). Remind occupants to clean their hands after contact with shared surfaces and objects, and after coughing or sneezing. • Regularly clean and disinfect high-touch surfaces and objects. › Develop and put into effect routine cleaning and disinfecting protocols that focus on shared surfaces, objects, and equipment. › Use disinfectant products with a valid drug identification number and follow manufacturer's instructions for cleaning and disinfection.
Health Canada has released new guidelines for air quality professionals that clearly state Covid can linger in the air & respirator masks should be considered IN ADDITION to improving ventilation

People signing the Global Pledge for Healthy Indoor Air at the UN
Yesterday, history happened at the UN: For the first time hundreds of orgs signed a global pledge declaring that healthy indoor air is a human right.
Healthy indoor air is a key tool for preventing pandemics, building climate resilience, and increasing health equity. We need it everywhere!
My library already has it! Was reading yesterday. Well done!
Proud to serve on the Global Commission on Healthy Indoor Air
Indoor air quality has a critical - yet overlooked - impact on our health. We’re honoured that our CEO, Plum Stone will join the Global Commission on Healthy Indoor Air as Co-Chair, to collaborate with experts from around the globe to put a spotlight on healthier indoor environments.
Look at this! Workers are embracing the importance of clean indoor air for health and productivity.
“Clean air is no longer a perk; it’s a baseline.”

Hello COVID-conscious community, can anyone help me connect with an occupational hygienist or HVAC engineer in Atlanta, Georgia? Many thanks! 🙏

Students & their drivers deserve a safe & healthy ride to school, including clean air to breathe!
School buses have poor air filtration & ventilation systems (air quality = bad) 😔
Wearing a respirator mask (N95, KN95, etc) & opening windows (when the outdoor air is safe!) can make a difference!
“If HCWs wear N95 respirators and surgical masks throughout [the treatment], the total infection risk can be reduced by 94.7 % and 53.9 %, respectively.”

Heat Warning • Now 8:00 PM EDT Wednesday 25 Jun 2025 Issued at: 5:11 p.m. EDT Sunday 22 June 2025 Dangerous heat and humidity will continue through early to mid week. The first significant heat event of the season with dangerously hot and humid conditions is expected to continue into the week. What: Daytime highs of 33 to 36 degrees Celsius. Humidex values of 42 to 46. Overnight lows of 22 to 25 degrees Celsius, providing little relief from the heat. When: Now until Tuesday night. Additional information: The extreme heat and humidity may continue into Wednesday. A cold front is expected to push through the region late Tuesday, but there is some uncertainty with how far south this front will get. Should it remain farther north, the heat event may continue Wednesday, primarily for southwestern Ontario and the GTA. Take action to protect yourself and others - extreme heat can affect everyone's health. Determine if you or others around you are at greater risk of heat illness. Check on older adults, those living alone and other at-risk people in-person or on the phone multiple times a day.
We are experiencing a dangerous heat wave in Ontario.
What is the plan for schools and school buses without A/C? How are students, educators, and bus drivers expected to endure such unsafe learning, transportation, and working conditions?
Let us know what’s happening at your family’s school(s).
Exam week, and we’re in a heat wave. AGAIN. @johnfraseros.bsky.social, please help us advocate for funding for appropriate HVAC in schools.
Thank you Nili for your service. You are a strong advocate with integrity. It’s deeply disappointing that such leadership is not celebrated and welcomed in a system that is meant to support the development of our children and youth.

Note that the US govt is coercing countries into using Starlink, while also threatening non-compliant users with loss of service.
When will Ford clearly and finally end Ontario’s contract with Starlink? I see no reference to this in reports on the budget.
I do wish that people had embraced “stay home when sick”. It’s almost like it’s worse now - like people have permission to be sick in public ever since we stopped caring about protecting each other. 😔
This, this, this!!!!
The 90-95% MMR vax rate ship has sunk, thanks to anti-vaxxers AND pro-infxn public health comms (immunity debt ffs 🤬)
We need #CleanAir NOW!
Ventilation & building, room, personal scale filtration (e.g., MERV13 in HVAC system, portable air cleaners, respirator level masks).
If convincing people to get the measles vaccine is ‘slow going’ this calls for a vaccine-PLUS approach.
Kids/Educators/Bus drivers have the right to NOT get infected, especially those at high risk.
Vaccine-PLUS means:
+masks
+air filtration
+ventilation
+more!
