I wear a full protective suit when working with #SARSCoV2 in the BSL3 lab - but ok to send kids to school & daycare to catch #COVID19 there? From now on I can work with the virus in the coffee kitchen, no? *irony off*

Gov’ts & School districts: Prevent teacher shortages & save money! Invest in #CleanAir, keep staff healthy, save on staff replacement costs! Plus prevent staff burnout (& #LongCovid too). Side bonus: kids’ attendance improves too. No learning loss! See cost-benefit analysis:

Clean air revolution 😎

Two important papers that came out yesterday. We are harming long term the development and brains of children by letting SARS2 spread. We are ruining their futures. 1/

As community transmission of measles in Canada is starting to ramp up, how far have schools progressed in providing #CleanAir in the past 4 years? Answer: gaslighting & denial persists instead of action. Gov’ts: you NEED to listen to activists who are keeping up w/ science. ⬇️

“Teachers are the most vulnerable occupation to getting Long Covid, which can still affect people 4years after catching the virus, a new study shows.” NZ was a highly vaxxed population before infection swept through the pop. Vaxx helps but won’t stop LC. rnz.co.nz/news/national/…

"The best thing we can do for kids right now is to reject the state’s assertion that airborne disease cannot be controlled and debunk the media’s continual invention of narratives that exculpate said state for its inaction." thegauntlet.news/p/nytimes-inve…

What happens in Latvia should not stay in Latvia only. It should be standard across the globe

Did you know that VSB had a #CleanAir school running from "1919 – 1932. Opened by the Rotary Club for children predisposed to respiratory disease. Closed in 1932 as a cost-saving measure" 1/2

Nearly a 70% increase in excess deaths of younger Canadians….and INCREASING. This is the new normal 😱 Are you still going to send your kids to school without a good mask? What would be your limit? 2X increase, 3X increase?

What would you do to protect your child? -Would you ask for clean air? -Would you ask for transparency about indoor air quality in schools? -Would you buy respirators for your child? -Would you bother to read about Covid? -Would you bother to protect them from Long Covid?

Cleaning the air improves test scores.

paging Dr. Henry... Many in BC had not even been boosted: The infection immunity plan for #bced results in #longcovid & #LongCovidKids

Great News 🎉 + Action Needed ✍️ New guidance and recommendations for schools and childcare facilities to optimize ventilation and indoor air quality in their facilities released by Vancouver Coastal Health. Help spread the word+write to school boards ect. template below:

Clean air science class ❤️ All kids deserve this.

At the bottom of every school form, I now include a footnote that school & district are not indemnified for COVID exposures they REFUSE to mitigate. They ARE aware of risks & tools - many parents've been providing them w literature. We HAVE to submit forms? They get a footnote.

Absolutely true in #bced

Exciting news: we're joining forces with a huge coalition of community organizations to present Vancouver's second annual #CleanAirFestival: an immuno-inclusive hybrid event that celebrates clean air and community care 💕 cleanairfestival.com
