Anti-vaxxer Eli David tweets article from the Daily Sceptic claiming that the UK has *banned* COVID booster shots for under 50 y/o. Of course, this is not true, and of course it gets over 500k views and thousands of likes/RTs. Let's talk about what the UK gov *actually* said:

Meet the new White House CoS. "Over the span of two decades, the health care companies that Zients controlled, invested in, and helped oversee were forced to pay tens of millions of dollars to settle allegations of Medicare and Medicaid fraud."

UVC radiation has been used for decades to deactivate viruses in medical settings. This new study used highly sensitive instruments to show that UVC unfortunately also produces a range of unwanted gases and particles in the air which could impact on health. More research needed!

Our paper on impacts of germicidal UVC on indoor air quality is out: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac. We measured changes in gas and aerosol composition while using a high-intensity UVC device, finding considerable changes in air composition during (and shortly after) irradiation. 1/3

1/ Germicidal UV: a tradeoff between disinfection and indoor smog A Substack (blog) post with a first estimate of the magnitude of the tradeoff. TLDR: still uncertain, but GUV smog is likely to be a significant concern, needs to be carefully evaluated.

Anyone else seeing this failure mode on their V-flex? I had one fail like this on me when donning it, and also just got another report of this failure from another person who has multiple in same lot. If you are seeing it too, post up the lot ID's any thoughts?

The economic elite who gathered in Davos was kept COVID-safe by using protection layers, including HEPA filters. They know #COVIDIsAirborne. If they can do it, so can we. Please spread the word.

I saw more air filters in one day in @Davos than in 3 years in any other public place. And mandatory PCR testing! Meanwhile they talk about equity and human rights. The same people who, like @DrTedros, avoid these tools from reaching everyone. #wef23 twitter.com/DrTedros/statu…

It has been rewarding to support the many opponents of the mayor’s misguided plan. A national rebellion against moving retirees into private Medicare replacement plans is emerging.

Council leaders said today they have no plan to pass a bill pushed by @NYCMayor that would allow his admin to charge retired city workers for health insurance — and multiple sources in the chamber told us the legislation is unlikely to ever get a vote. nydailynews.com/news/politics/

Oh look, the wealthy and powerful are using all the SARS2 protections the ‘doomers’ have advocated for for 3 years while being aggressively characterized as a fringe group and increasingly marginalized by the decider class. Sure doesn’t look like they think covid is just a cold.
Quote Tweet
The world's elite at the Davos forum are enjoying every possible protection from Covid, including PCR testing, air filtration, UVGI light. Why isn't this being offered to everyone else? Every school, every workplace should have the same protections as the rich and powerful.

1. Has testimony from and retirees, as well as the extensive reporting done on Medicare Advantage convinced to abandon the privatization scheme? 2. Will he convene a blue ribbon panel to look for real alternatives that don’t involve eliminating Medicare?
