Colin Brown #CleanAir is like #CleanWater

#Ventilation is not some magic V-word to just add on to your #Policy documents. Any of your #Procedures may affect Indoor Air Quality. Not until every such #Procedure is perfused by #FreshAir will the sleepless evil of #Covid19 be driven from the very air you breathe …

If you see this video, put a dot to break the silence.

@PaulJSweeney @ScottishLabour Really? When #SLAB have accepted £millions from the Easdale billionaires?

For better buses and a better deal, vote @ScottishLabour on May 7th🚍

@danielgoyal Yes, "Free at point of use" is easy for any organisation: it may charge later, or you may pay in advance aka insurance, or "First use is free" Universal access is the Pillar of the NHS that is difficult: no exclusions like for co-morbidity or age. That is default only for NHS.

Just FYI, “free at the point of use” is not the same as “universal access” India has a free at the point of care health system but over half the population seek private care Tory/Grifter/Labour can keep the NHS free at the point of use and still keep privatising your healthcare

That professional guidance got the mode of transmission wrong is understandable That they did not correct guidance in the face of overwhelming & increasing evidence is inexplicable. That IPC have failed to stand up and admit errors + apologise after Rpt 3 is inexcusable.

Big numbers: used US Veterans Health Administration records to compare 443,588 people with one documented COVID infection, 40,947 people with reinfection, and 5,334,729 people with no recorded COVID infection.

So by checking for deleted ORF78 in earlier variant waves, Ryan discovered the same effect: enhanced infection in kids. The mechanism is still unclear ... Brilliant sleuthing - thank you.

@newglasgowsoc Exciting? More banal Lego buildings in glass and steel that could be in any metropolis, yet are dumped onto our fine Victorian city of stone. @glasgowswestend @LostGlasgow @PastGlasgow

A lot of construction works are taking place in this part of town. The view is getting more exciting; the church towers are standing tall against the new(ish) buildings. Just waiting for the former Glasgow Academy building to be reopened. #elmbankstreet #glasgow

@joe_yer99 Shocking banal block, especially co-located with the magnificent Royal Infirmary and Glasgow Cathedral.

The proposed build for the key workers next to the Glasgow infirmary. Ooft.

A powerful observation: that kids' immunity differs enough from adults' to promote cryptic lineages, as was previously vaguely attributed to the immunosuppressed.

@nousaerons @CDCgov Norovirus? scienceinsights.org/is-the-norovir…

New version of our infographic on Diseases from pathogens than can be transmitted through the air we breath. We took into account proposals: change of colours, addition of Neisseria meningitidis and indication of vaccines recommended for children in the 🇺🇸 by the @CDCgov .

x.com/i/status/13891… Air is everywhere. It's still astonishing that this truism has not led to the routine evaluation of airborne transmission in all IPC work, even if only thought to be an annoying confounder.

@_CatintheHat @EvonneTCurran @ReJennerating @MelanieWeckert Mode of transmission detail: @covidinquiryuk report says "aerosol - could ... permeate a FRSM" Not so much "permeate" the fabric, as *bypass* it due to poor #FRSM fit. Aerosols persist in the air and so are suspended in the airflow of each inhalation, mostly around the outside.

@ReJennerating @MelanieWeckert Why? He’s right. If a pathogen is transmitted in droplets then it’s almost certainly transmitted in aerosols too. As the Covid Inquiry concluded: our understanding of the science has evolved and “it is no longer appropriate” to rely on the dichotomy between droplets & aerosols.

“Is there any scenario or situation where someone could produce a droplet without also generating significant amounts of aerosols?” Prof Clive Beggs (independent expert witness to the Covid Inquiry): “NO”.

Mitochondrial Transplant Reverses Disease Scientists just transplanted healthy mitochondria into diseased cells -- and reversed Parkinson's, Leigh syndrome, and mtDNA depletion. In Cell. As a medical school professor, I can tell you this is one of the most important papers of 2026. Chinese researchers solved the delivery problem that's challenged mitochondrial medicine for decades. The breakthrough: wrapping healthy mitochondria in red blood cell membranes. Delivery efficiency jumped from under 5% to 80%. The results: - Rescued mitochondrial defects in patient-derived cells - Reversed mtDNA depletion syndrome in mice - Extended survival in Leigh syndrome mice - Prevented neuron loss and restored motor function in a Parkinson's model Tested in both mice and monkeys. This is what I wrote about in "Lies I Taught in Medical School" -- we treated mitochondrial diseases as untreatable because we couldn't fix the powerhouse. Now we can replace it entirely. "Organelle therapy" is no longer theoretical. It's here. Full breakdown coming on the Health Longevity Secrets podcast.

WHO Says Best Way To Prevent Airborne Infections Is To Delete Guidance From Website

@_CatintheHat The cover-up is worse than the crime x.com/i/status/20349…

Aaarrrghh! The cover-up begins… The WHO page about Meningococcal Meningitis & its modes of transmission (including the word ‘AEROSOL’) has just been removed from their website. Original link: who.int/teams/health-p… Thankfully there’s an archived page: web.archive.org/web/2026012701…

@EvonneTCurran @JacquiSReilly @covidinquiryuk twitter.com/colinbro/statu… More disappearing evidence: minutes of #CNRG (COVID-19 Nosocomial Review Group) are no longer found at this ScotGov site. It included Laura Imrie and Tom Evans, chair of HCID that on Mar 13 2020 suddenly declassified COVID-19 from High-consequence!

@EvonneTCurran Yes, the #ARHAI search strategy was fundamentally flawed, excluded evidence not published in English, or terms like "aerosol" or "airborne" - see Appx 1 hpspubsrepo.blob.core.windows.net/hps-website/ns… @JacquiSReilly was Chair of CNRG overseeing this faulty work, but was not called to @covidinquiryuk

Could have elaborated here. ARHAI reviews were in error regards to the airborne nature of transmission for 22 monthly versions.

I think that in some cases, the better someones grasp of science, the stronger their need to reject aerosol transmission. Because if they accept that it's a dominant mode of transmission and really understand what that means, the implications are far-reaching and incredibly frightening. For the layperson, it's just "Oh, so like coughs but further yeah? Well I'll take extra vitamins LOL" and they get on with their life of episodic illness, possibly debilitating, but with (to them) unclear vectors. For someone with a good grasp of science, if they really understand what almost every respiratory infection having airborne potential means, than they understand that if true, almost all of the modern indoor spaces we have would be unsafe without massive IAQ upgrades- and in many cases those upgrades might not even be physically possible. If airborne transmission is dominant = Nearly all of our indoor physical infrastructure is dangerous and obsolete without costly upgrades. That is a massive, massive social, political, and financial upheaval to contemplate- and people able to see the big picture implications, rejecting it at a visceral level, when a comfortable, nostalgic paradigm of handwashing and coughing into their elbow is right there for them to cling to, is somewhat understandable. It will take a long time, and a great deal more work before many come around- and many never will. Semmelweis's findings were not accepted during his lifetime- and those were a comparatively minor upheaval.

Thank you to the #CleanAir team for all your work, and to @covidinquiryuk for engaging with the scientific facts. So often the legal process skirts around the facts due to process that confuses debate with both-sidism.

Thread explains several plausible biological mechanisms to prove that the #Meningitis outbreak has been caused by the continuing pandemic. @ukhsa @covidinquiryuk @scotgovhealth @DHSCgovuk @fillthewhole @PeteUK7 @_CatintheHat @cv_cev @globalhlthtwit @IndependentSage
