Well, a federal judge has ordered them to put the pages back as litigation from outraged medical providers moves forward. The plaintiffs state that they rely on the critical information when caring for patients.

Judge orders HHS, CDC and FDA to restore deleted webpages with health information

In fact masks are banned in North Carolina and Nassau County and more bans are currently on the table.
A good respirator protects from more than just Covid. The people deserve to know how to keep themselves safe.

CDC aren’t permitted to update the public & people are not being advised of the risk or told to wear a mask.
There’s evidence that COVID causes immune system damage which could lead TB to reactivate.
A respirator prevents both Covid and TB.
Given we’re witnessing the dismantling of what was left of public health, there’s no better time to choose to wear a mask
You will protect yourself and your community. You will show much needed solidarity with vulnerable people who’ve never been able to stop masking.
You send a strong signal to the government that you aren’t willing to leave people behind.

➡️ 18 million people still have Long COVID in Brazil! ⬅️
"The last time a person who is not part of [the special priority] groups had a COVID-19 vaccine in Brazil was almost two years ago."
"A significant study published in July 2024, led by Dr. Ziyad Al-Aly, one of the most prominent Long COVID researchers, showed that vaccination reduced the incidence of Long COVID by almost half"
"One of the study’s significant findings is that 65.2 percent of those infected with the novel coronavirus have or have had Long COVID, that is, some 40 million people (18.9 percent of the Brazilian population). Of this total, almost 18 million people still have a series of persistent post-COVID-19 symptoms or complications. According to the study, the most prevalent symptoms among those with Long COVID are memory loss, difficulty concentrating, hair loss, joint pain, anxiety and tiredness."

Sen. Alsobrooks shines light on RFK Jr.'s medical racism
The Maryland Democrat called out Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s false claim that Black people have "better" immune systems than white people.Ja'han Jones (MSNBC)
But don’t snooze on the fact that they’ve made it so if you get funding from the Department of Transportation you can’t have a vaccine or mask mandate.
COVID isn’t over. H5N1 is spreading rapidly and has pandemic potential.
We’ve got RFK Jr poised to take over HHS and do untold amounts of damage to public health.
Yet they’re still coming for masks and vaccines.
Please wear a mask while you still can. Mask to protect your own health and to show solidarity with disabled and marginalized people who’ve been cast aside and treated as expendable for years.
Mask to Resist.

Will bird flu spark a human pandemic? Scientists say the risk is rising
H5N1 is adapting to new mammal hosts, raising the possibility of the virus spreading between humans.Kozlov, Max
Worried about Medicare/Medicaid? Wear a mask.
Worried about the surveillance state? Wear a mask.
Want to fight authoritarian fascists? Wear a mask.
Interested in peaceful protest? Wear a mask.
Want to stay as healthy as you can for as long as you can? Wear a mask.
Wearing a mask is the best way to safeguard your health AND show resistance & solidarity. It’s a great form of allyship with disabled and marginalized communities too.

bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH**

** Grant reviews now all canceled
https://www.kcur.org/news/2025-01-21/eggs-expensive-bird-flu
The above was originally posted by Katie Mack on Bluesky
My own commentary: And it's not just about the price of eggs. The strain of H5N1 that has been surging on poultry farms is far more dangerous than the strain infecting cattle. Mortality in humans is closer to 50%. If this strain evolves P2P transmission, the effects could be devastating. The public, scientists, epidemiologists, doctors and hospitals need timely information.
Withdrawal from the WHO only exacerbates the challenges of preventing and/or fighting major disease outbreaks, as the U.S. was providing a major chunk of that organization's funding. And withdrawal from the organization could impair communication and collaboration between U.S. and international scientists and health agencies.
Meanwhile, there actually is a vaccine already available for H5N1 that we know is effective for birds. However, it has not yet been confirmed effective for humans and, by the end of the year, there'll only be enough for a few million people, nowhere near enough for the >300 million people, just in the U.S. Seems unlikely that the vaccine research and production would increase with RFK Jr at the helm of HHS.
Great work from the "anti-censorship" and "free speech" president.

Safeguarding your health is more important than ever. It’s easier to fight back when you’re not chronically ill
It shows you care about disabled & marginalized individuals
It tells government you won’t be complicit in the harm of others

This is damaging not only to Americans, but people around the world. Viruses and other public health threats don’t care about borders. They don’t care about politics. They simply require a host.
He withdrew from the World Health Organization
Rescinded an executive order making Covid testing & vaccine access easier
Prohibited CDC, FDA and NIH from providing public health updates
Signed an order that states non profits and advocacy organizations can’t call out misinformation because it violates “freedom of speech”
These actions combined with his chokehold on many of the largest social media apps will lead to a catastrophic groundswell of misinformation.
When public health stops functioning, people die. These decisions will cost lives.
Please stay aware. Pay attention. Push back if you can. Support independent journalists who are working hard to get the accurate information out to as many people as possible.

After meeting with the owner and staff of White Oaks Bookstore in Vancouver, WA, where I've often seen workers and customers masked up, I'm including this wonderful small business on my respirator restocking route. They are just down Main street from Kindred homestead supply, who also has a free mask basket out front.
Today I gifted them with a basket of 30 KF94's, 10 kid-sized KF94's, 8 KN95's, and 4 N95's. The owner and staff were thrilled, I introduced them to the #MaskBlocPDX account on Instagram, and am similarly excited to be able to support this local community champion of public health.

"In this prospective cohort study, we included participants free of dementia at baseline from 2 nationwide cohort studies in the United States: the Nurses' Health Study (NHS) and the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study (HPFS).
Diets were assessed using a validated semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire. We ascertained incident dementia cases from both NHS participants (1980–2023) and HPFS participants (1986–2023). Objective cognitive function was assessed using the Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status (1995–2008) among a subset of NHS participants. Subjective cognitive decline (SCD) was self-reported by NHS participants (2012, 2014) and HPFS participants (2012, 2016).
Cox proportional hazards models, general linear regression, and Poisson regression models were applied to assess the associations between red meat intake and different cognitive outcomes."

I want to remind people that a well fitted respirator offers excellent protection
Don’t handle sick birds or other wild animals
Our hospital system would NOT be able to provide this level of care if H5N1 becomes a pandemic. And if this young teen had been in the US I imagine her family might be bankrupt.
I’m glad she’s doing better - but shame on the news article for trying to “calm monger” by talking about her BMI as if it’s to blame. Even the headline is downplaying the severity
