I believe the data does not support these conclusions, & I am so concerned that I am submitting a formal complaint to the publishers regarding these papers, requesting critical amendments that fundamentally alter the conclusions".

Both papers conclude that risks from ozone are such that Far-UVC cannot currently be recommended for widespread adoption.
Make no mistake; if this advice is followed, people will suffer and die needlessly as a consequence.

"Two papers recently published in the John Hopkins University Journal Health Security could potentially distort perceptions of the risks of ozone from #FarUVC.

"The widespread adoption of #FarUVC is contingent on a comprehensive appreciation of risks, benefits & context: incomplete or misleading information must be challenged":

Whereas, after 6 years, most people living with #LongCOVID will report that their illness has been met with disbelief, medical gaslighting, zero use of off-label meds, zero support, & an abundance of stigma - helpful to all governments that wish to continue ignoring it (because votes...).

"Canada is the only country where Novo Nordisk allowed the patent for its semaglutide drugs to expire, paving the way for 'regulatory exclusivity' to end on Jan. 4. That's why Canada could become the first country to offer a cheaper version of Ozempic and Wegovy..."-

Who still haven't dipped into any of these 20,000+ published studies on #LongCOVID, which is no longer a "mysterious" condition -

And in 🇨🇦 Canada too.
How do you identify a doctor who knows a lot about #LongCOVID?
▶️ They're well read on Long COVID
▶️ They mask (with #N95s)
▶️ They open windows
▶️ They run #HEPAs in their consulting & waiting rooms
Unlike most members of the @cmadocs.bsky.social -
Long COVID affects around 6 in every 100 people who get COVID-19. People of any age and health status can get Long COVID. World Health Organization
People are still developing long covid. Just because everyone stopped talking about it doesn’t mean it went away.
🗓️15 March 2026 – International #LongCovid Awareness Day
Long Covid isolates people.
It renders millions of lives invisible.
To mark this day, we are launching a simple, visible and symbolic movement:
💛 Let's make hearts beat everywhere.
Once more for those at the back: it's NOT lockdowns, school closures, reduced social interaction, & increased family stress that affected children’s self-regulation & other executive skills.
#COVID injures the #Brain. The prefrontal cortex plays a central role in self-regulation -
#CleanTheAir

Not any more than #YouDoYou has ever been recognized as a credible #PublicHealth strategy in any previous pandemic.
These injuries to our planet & collective health are self-inflicted. Our agency is being suffocated with a lack of political will & self-interested leadership.
Vote them out.

We have just come through a brutal winter in the #Yukon, & rather than a relief, summer looks a bit intimidating with El Niño forecast to return. As always, we are crossing fingers for no catastrophic wildfire event -
🤞Crossing fingers is, of course, not a strategy.

"How quickly the Earth continues to warm ultimately depends on how rapidly we reduce global CO2 emissions from fossil fuels to zero" -
☝️It's not for lack of data. We know this. We ignore this. Just as we are doing with an #OngoingPandemic.
We're just coming out of a brutal winter in the #Yukon, could really do without El Niño & a summer of wildfires too -
