🔊🦠 A #research team used high-frequency #sound waves to fracture the protective shells of #influenza and #COVID-19 #viruses. The vibrations cause the viral particles to shake until they break, rendering them unable to infect cells.

Scientists Destroy COVID And Flu Viruses in The Lab With Sound Waves

Sound waves already used in medical scans may have a surprising new target: Viruses.
David Nield (ScienceAlert)
#COVID #education #technology #tech #science #biology #research #influenza #physics #health #medicine #sound #innovation #microbiology #viruses

R0 of:

Measles
12-18

Covid
1-7 depending on strain

Hantavirus
<1 for humans
<2 for rodents
2.1-2.7 for the cruise ship, only because they were in confined spaces.

The reason we're seeing constant reports mentioning the 30% fatality rate is because that's terrifying, and therefore great click bait. Whereas talking about how unlikely human to human transmission (especially outside of confined spaces) isn't going to get eyeballs on advertising.

It's covid and ESPECIALLY measles you should all be fucking worried about, tbh.

_____
R0 is the basic reproduction number of a virus, which is the average number of people an infected person will transmit to, assuming everyone in the population is susceptible (unvaccinated with no pre-existing immunity)

Jeremy Faust got a copy of the censored paper and published it: insidemedicine.substack.com/p/….

Faust’s source says that they think RFKJr doesn’t want to publish the study because he wants to weaken CDC recommendations for the vaccines this year, including for high risk populations like older adults. The study shows that last season’s vaccine was 50% effective against ER visits and hospitalization for immunocompetent adults.

#COVID #COVID19

Exclusive: Here's the Covid-19 vaccine paper the CDC censored.

RFK Jr. and the CDC’s top official, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, don’t want you to read this. That’s exactly why you should.

#COVID #covid19

The CDC was about to publish a report that the 2025-2026 #COVID #COVID19 vaccine cut the number of emergency room visits and hospitalizations for healthy people in half last winter, but acting CDC director

Bhattacharya has blocked its release. Excellent reporting from Lena Sun.

washingtonpost.com/health/2026…

The WaPo app isn’t offering me a share #GiftLink button, so this is apparently outside the paywall?

Fun fact, federal regulations for temporary appointments mean acting CDC director Bhattacharya lost his position last month, but he seems to be … just … not … leaving … anyway. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Update. "C.D.C. Cancels Publication of Study Showing Benefits of Covid Vaccines."
nytimes.com/2026/04/22/us/poli…

"The acting head of the #CDC has canceled the publication of a study that found that the Covid vaccine sharply cut the odds of hospitalizations and emergency visits last winter…Former CDC officials said it was unusual for the head of the agency to cancel a scientific publication that had already been cleared by the agency’s staff scientists and had been scheduled for publication."

It was set to be published last month when #JayBhattacharya delayed it because of "methodology" concerns. But it uses standard CDC methodology for evaluating vaccines, and Bhattacharya approved the release of a flu vaccine report using the same methodology the week before the planned release of the COVID report. Bhattacharya reports to #RFKJr.

I can't find high enough praise for this article today in The Tyee (on Fedi: @thetyee) thetyee.ca/Analysis/2026/03/27…

How is it possible for hospitals, nursing homes and other health-care employers to allow respiratory PPE that doesn’t fit the legal standard previously set for protecting workers against an airborne hazard?

Simple. They just fail to explicitly state the virus is airborne.

I really don't wanna accept this notion - but I also remember Daniel Kahneman once being asked about #climatechange. He said that we are not gonna do anything about it - because - human nature. The interviewer was shocked. It does seem true. We saw it during #Covid and now through this #war - the lives of the #poor in faraway places simply don't matter for many in the #US #Europe.

viruses in circulation, as SARS-VoV-2 has been since it started spreading among humans, always do this. Some slowly, some fast. But that virus didn't stop, it doesn't stop/start. If people are catching it, it's mutating.

Edit - also I'm not downloading yet another app to read one thing.
Use a website like normal people (whoever runs this thing)

Edit II - major tell, v painful sore throat. Like the razor-blade soreness of previous.

Today is #LongCOVIDAwarenessDay.

For more than six years i suffer from this insidious disease. Some symptoms have gotten better, others worse, even others have only recently developed (looking at you gastritis).

But the world has moved on, now pretends that #COVID is over and that i as someone with #LongCOVID do not exist (i must be a "trigger").

No one ever asks, how are you doing. All the care work falls to one person, who has zero support for this burden. I have never felt so alone.

Stanley Plotkin's contribution to vaccinology has been so significant that the field's textbook, now in its eighth edition, carries his name. But as vaccines increasingly come under attack, Plotkin, now 93, fears he knows what's to come: many children will die from preventative diseases.

"All I can say is that I'm beginning to regret having lived so long — because we're going downhill," he says. He worries that people have become more susceptible to anti-vaccine misinformation because they have not experienced the misery that childhood diseases once caused — and that things will not get better until outbreaks cause anguish once again.

"The language of the letter... was unusually stark.

Surgical masks, the authors argued, offer inadequate protection against airborne pathogens such as #Covid & #flu

Their continued prioritisation in clinical settings no longer rests on evidence but on institutional inertia.

To a lawyer trained in occupational safety regulation or human rights litigation, this is not an academic disagreement.

It is a warning that existing standards may now be legally indefensible."

My local hospital system (Banner, all locations at least in Tucson) has a new mask mandate because of the current rough flu season. This morning I accompanied a relative to an outpatient appointment at Banner North, and every person I saw in the building was following the mandate. Patients, employees, people at the cafeteria, everyone. I didn't hear any complaints as people got to the entrance, although clearly a lot of people hadn't realized they would need a mask. (The facility was happily handing them out.) I'm really pleased by this, even if it's for the current flu season and not for Covid or long term. #Covid #flu #Tucson #Arizona
