Almost 120,000 excess deaths in Germany in 2022.

The deadliest year of the pandemic so far - by far.

The year that was sold to us (1 yr ago) as "beginning of the endemic", only to end public health measures.

We need #VaccinesPlus to #TargetZero now!

6/ But aren’t we in a better place, since vaccines are available?

Unfortunately, COVID variants & #LetItRip policy meant 2022 was deadlier in BC than 2021 & 2020.

Maybe removing masks while #CleanTheAir hasn’t happened, was the wrong decision?

We need #VaccinesPlus. Layers! https://twitter.com/merlinofcanada/status/1606455273090322432

Would love to have similar workplace policies for sharing air in the face of an airborne virus. Many of the health problems mentioned are also a result of #covid19 …. #maskup #COVIDisAirborne #VaccinesPLUS

"The damage to the immune system from COVID-19 is significant.

It is not just a respiratory disease.

There’s increasing evidence it’s hurting our immune system, not just in the short term, but the long-term, making it much more difficult for our bodies to fight off infections."

"... more people are getting COVID, with not only the high risk of long COVID, but that of immune dysfunction, and the resulting infections.

It would not be hyperbole to say that the fate of the pandemic, and perhaps our society, rests on us getting this right. And time is running out."

"All of us should take acute Covid prevention extremely seriously.
Vaccinations, wearing masks, making sure that you don't contact the virus,
because if you do, we really don't know what the long term effects are going to be"

"The worst part is that it was doomed from the very beginning. It was unscientific, unethical and based on epidemiological stupidity"

Yes that's right!
Exactly right!

"But all too often it feels like an uphill battle just to get simple help, or to get recognition from employers, pension funds or government agencies.

Despite all the press attention and all the testimonies, it often feels as if people still don't quite believe long COVID exists."

Excellent presentation

"To achieve this, a vaccine-PLUS strategy is needed, with layered protections including testing, tracing, safe indoor air and masks. Vaccine equity globally must also be addressed."

Podcast recommended by Dr Joe Vipond

"Healthcare systems across the country are under strain yet again, and this time children seem to be bearing the worst of the combination of influenza, RSV, and COVID-19.

Health officials would like people to voluntarily mask to help stop the spread, but people across Canada seem to have given up on them."
