This is terrible. The authors admit that their intervention failed to provide the correct Clean Air Delivery Rate. I mean, if you know the intervention you’re testing is inadequate, why test at all?? And why demand they REMOVE existing HEPA fitration units (which might have had the right CADR)?

Not much to say here. The same vibes-based medicine that has been driving anti-PPE misinformation since long before COVID hit. Imagine a drug manufacturer testing its competitor's product at a subclinical dose (but "we feel like that's good enough") and then claiming it doesn't work. Unserious.

I don’t understand how this got published. It would be akin to saying “seatbelts don’t save lives” because of a study when people who didn’t use them properly had just as bad injuries as people who didn’t use them at all.

Not only did only ~12% of participants get in-room HEPA (sharing common areas with the other 1,570 who didn't, with "up to 5" shared HEPAs), in-room HEPAs were only (reportedly) "usually" (which is...not a scientific unit of measure! 🙄) turned on. For "pragmatic" read "sloppy"

I also hand them out to help people protect themselves from wild fire smoke. Gave out a bunch today. Air quality in Calgary right now is 10+, the worst level in the scale. Going to the FolkFest? Wear a mask. — We need clean air and a stable climate, not more pipelines. #canpoli #abpoli #ableg

I hand out respirator/breatheteq masks to my patients to help them reduce their risk of getting COVID and Long COVID. Here's the letter I've put together about this for parents about children masking. @longcovidresource.bsky.social @longcovidadvoc.com @longcovidkids.bsky.social #longcovid

This is a great way to understand why private medicine is atrociously bad for almost everyone and simply doesn’t belong in Canada. #canpoli #abpoli youtu.be/m3wf6ThHG4g?...

Self-Portrait” by David Keegan — acrylic on stretched canvas, 2026 I’ve had this painting inside me for 50 years. I don’t know how many times since I was 5 that I’ve doodled earlier versions of it over the years in scribblers, textbooks, and notebooks. But now, it’s on canvas. I’m so thrilled. 😃
