In a scathing review, the top US medical journal's editorial board warned that the "destruction that Kennedy has wrought in 1 in office might take generations to repair."
"If implemented, my recommendations should reduce the number of deaths, reduce the suffering and reduce the social and economic cost," she [Baroness Heather Hallett] said.
I've got a feeling that that is a mighty big "If".
It’s one thing to say HAI will happen from time to time in the context of proper maintenance and cleaning (including air filtration) of hospitals.
It’s quite another to underfund or neglect the maintenance, cleaning and repair of buildings, and then just put your hands up.

An HHS official reached out to let me know a @wsj.com article I discussed in one of my essays had been corrected.
Fair enough.
Yet, 6 months later blatant FDA lies about me remain uncorrected. Our government smears citizens who dare to question them.
My latest.
Explicitly capitalist media again shares a new piece that Long COVID is concerning, has no cure and again, embarrassingly, is doing better public health comms about this than most public health orgs. www.forbes.com/sites/omeraw...
That's right. Worse than Pointless

1 pack = 400 statistical life-minutes.
It is a metaphor, not a biological equivalence.
Turn it off if you prefer minutes only.
AIRE is not a medical device. It is a transparent risk budgeting tool.

I built AIRE, a free browser tool that estimates airborne COVID risk indoors using the PMC framework.
It also offers an optional “cigarette pack equivalent.”
Why?
Because 3% per event is abstract.
Cumulative harm is easier to grasp on a familiar scale. 🧵
Every senator who voted to confirm RFK Jr owns this tragedy. Every single one.

And this would be good if the idea spread far more widely
This used to be one of the diseases public agencies would take swift and strict action to prevent.
But this is only one of many recent outbreaks.
Casey Means’ confirmation hearing is over.
My impressions:
Means has zero understanding of or concern for the most vulnerable Americans.
Means will absolutely not promote vaccination or in any way push back on RFK Jr.
Means doesn’t understand public health at all.
How long do the effects of Covid really last? Researchers are still discovering new neurological issues.
I can’t breach confidentiality… but I think I can say this much.
I am blown away by the change I am seeing in people’s health in the clinical setting… since C19. It’s not subtle. It’s like one of those paintings with every bright colour thrown on it.
It is very sad.
This is one of those legal moments where headlines alone won’t inform you. The details matter.
I’ve written a careful breakdown in Civil Discourse for readers who want to understand.
Screenshot of a CIDRAP article titled “Report underscores death toll of health care-related infections.” Subheading shows “News brief | February 21, 2026” by Laine Bergeson, with topic listed as Healthcare-Associated Infections. Below the headline is an image of a patient’s hand in a hospital setting with an IV cannula inserted and secured with medical tape, tubing visible, suggesting clinical care and infection risk context.
Spain: Healthcare-Associated Infections Kill 3× More People Than Car Accidents Each Year.
Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs) cause about 6,774 deaths a year in Spain — Over 3× more than car accidents — showing a serious but often overlooked health risk.

I’m completely exhausted… but hopefully at some point this week I’ll share my thoughts on this… and I’m really hoping this is just the start of the work ahead…
C19 isn’t over is the most obvious finding, and it’s floating around even before the wave really gets going…
So we need to get solving.
Makary does 2 things.
1. Lie constantly
2. Accuse others of lying

"It’s hard to recall a regulator who has done as much damage to medical innovation in as little time as Vinay Prasad"
www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2026/02/vina...
After more than 1.2 Americans lost their lives to Covid, NIH director Jay Bhattacharya orders the agency to deprioritize pandemic preparedness & biodefense.
Make it make sense.

RIP UK justice, died 2020.
The FDA today approves and promotes quack autism “cures” based on “incredible stories” while refusing to even consider vaccines despite multiple RCTs.
My latest.
WSJ editorial board hits FDA: It’s hard to recall a regulator who has done as much damage to medical innovation in as little time as Vinay Prasad who rejected Moderna’s mRNA flu vaccine without even a cursory review.

That study, for those hard of hearing/fingers stuck in ears/head in sand up the back ... www.nature.com/articles/s41...
I’d just like to say again.
Studies re COVID-19 published in 2020 clearly stated that deposition patterns consistent with aerosol spread was happening in hospitals.
They were finding positive samples for RNA in air ducts, on windows, under beds.
They did not match the advice to the findings…
If ever there was a reason HR should care, this seems like it.
Two images side by side. On the left, a tiny book held between fingers labeled “Most doctors’ knowledge of Long COVID.” On the right, someone holding a huge, heavy book labeled “The published Long COVID science,” highlighting the big knowledge gap.
Most doctors’ knowledge of Long COVID vs The published Long COVID science.
