Happy to share the final paper from our team CIHR rapid response grant on COVID misinformation- this one about anti-mask sentiments - we focused on the effect this has on workers who rely on respirator masks to avoid infection! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

So much "cancer cure" bunk out there. It's doing real harm. Our recent studies have found it in: - Google clinic reviews nature.com/articles/s4427… - Amazon books jmir.org/2024/1/e56354/… - Crowd funding campaigns cancer.jmir.org/2024/1/e52018 We need to do more to counter! Soon:…

The confluence of population growth, ubiquitous air travel, a pandemic, buildings with stagnant air due to a focus on energy efficiency, and late stage capitalist pressures on labour have led to a society that normalizes and accepts ridiculous, unnecessary rates of illness.
Our paper “Five decades of occupational cancer epidemiology” in SJWEH, DOI: 10.5271/sjweh.4190. Research changed. Breast is now the most researched tumour, risk factors include a wider perspective than only chemicals & fibres. What has not changed is the lack of research in LMICs
Since the late 1970s we've lost over 800,000 Americans to AIDS in the past 4.5 years we've lost around 1.2 million Americans to COVID We think of the former as a horribly mismanaged crisis that devalued the lives of people at risk... but we're nailing it with the latter?
With mild infection in healthy participants who received a #SARSCoV2 challenge there was evidence of persistent cognitive and memory changes at least one year after Covid, compared with uninfected controls thelancet.com/journals/eclin… @ProfHampshire @eClinicalMed
“Many of #COVID19’s earliest & most alarming effects involve the 🧠, incl a lost sense of smell, sluggish thinking, headaches, delirium & strokes…Scientists now worry that these symptoms may be early indicators of a coming surge in #dementia.” #MedTwitter bloomberg.com/news/features/…
Solidarity with @TeamstersRail workers locked out by CN & CP. These companies are risking the safety of workers & communities, making our supply chain vulnerable to derailments & accidents. Workers deserve safe work. The employers must get back to the table & bargain a fair deal.
Solidarity with the locked out rail workers today and every day (including my brother!) - they are fighting for their right to a healthy and happy life AND for the safety of all of us.
As of 12:01 AM this morning, 9,000 Teamsters are locked out and freight rail is shut down in Canada. Canadian rail Teamsters are resisting carrier proposals for dangerously long work hours and forced worker relocation. tdu.org/canada-rail-te…

New paper alert! Significant associations observed btw heatwaves & occupational heat-related illness & the association w/ heatwaves was greater during the summer of 2021 than prior summers. More: sjweh.fi/article/4179 @mcleodcb1 @liz272 @ubcspph @UBCNews
When are you going to acknowledge the growing body of research showing that Covid infections cause lasting damage to our immune systems, leaving us more susceptible to other diseases like whooping cough, RSV etc. The graphics below are from Yale School of Public Health ⬇️
COVID’S EFFECT ON THE IMMUNE SYSTEM 🔥 This is an excellent series of graphics from @YaleSPH explaining what we do (and don’t) know about Covid’s effect on the immune system. Much of this is informed by the work of Dr. Akiko Iwasaki (@VirusesImmunity). 🧵 H/t @fitterhappierAJ
Delighted to share a new paper from my @CAREXCanada team on a critical data gap - are new workers more likely to be exposed to carcinogens at work? The answer appears to be yes. @Disja7 @EmilyHeer5 mdpi.com/1660-4601/21/8…
Late cancer diagnosis tops poll of biggest health concerns upi.com/Health_News/20… These fears totally understandable. But should also remember that this fear often exploited by unscrupulous providers to market unproven tests & treatments. via @CR_UK @RJG3062 cc @marco_zenone…
If you listen carefully, billionaire-owned media will always give you hints on what you absolutely should do.
Absolutely loved this article by colleagues at SFU on what we do now and going forward on long COVID. Hint: it’s prevention of COVID infection and reinfection (plus supports for those suffering). 💪🏼
Holistic approaches to care. Addressing the information gap. Prevention. Researchers have been studying the impact of long COVID. Here are some of their solutions. 🦠 thetyee.ca/Analysis/2024/…
