Despite what you might believe based on what science communicators are saying about the recent ensitrelvir (Xocova) post-exposure prophylaxis COVID-19 study, it actually has major issues!

I also made a post about the most cited far-UVC researcher on social media, some observations about his studies, and some thoughts around influencers posting misinfo on social media!

I made a post about my safety concerns around far-UVC recently, on my always-free (no option to pay) Substack!

This just in: SaNOtize aka VirX, enovid, Fabispray, NOWONDER, etc. (the nitric oxide nasal spray or NONS) admits that their sprays interfere with COVID-19 tests.

The first part of the sentence prior to the comma says they don't, but the second part of the sentence

if you see people hyping up the recent azelastine covid nasal spray study (jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...), please know it's got major issues, see here:

and please link to these pubpeer comments when people overhype it. let's fight misinfo together! <3

made a comprehensive post on prevention & treatment this time, entitled "There is no convincing evidence that nasal sprays prevent, nor treat, COVID-19". links to the same post on substack (substack.com/home/post/p-...) & reddit (www.reddit.com/r/ZeroCovidC...) <3

made an instagram post going over what a good clinical trial on nasal sprays for COVID-19 would look like and scored all the current studies! they all failed lol! www.instagram.com/p/DHuJrTwy_X...

one of the two human clinical trials on preventing COVID-19 with nasal sprays has now been retracted (study 2 from my comprehensive reddit and substack post). will update those posts, and see the retraction notice here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

multiple people have expressed to me that they gave up pointing out that there is no convincing evidence that nasal sprays prevent covid, because of the ridiculously negative reactions (completely understandable to give up and no judgement). for me right now, the hate only makes me want to post more

this should go without saying, but if you had hope in nasal sprays preventing covid and one of my posts gives you less hope and you feel upset, you are upset at someone other than me. don't take it out on me. and don't tell me I shouldn't be debunking dangerous misinfo. or do. it won't stop me! 😘💖

Check out my article published w/ @citybureau.bsky.social covering the absence of Covid-19 & Long Covid coverage during the 2024 Election Cycle.

“This sense of urgency is critical ‘as we dive deeper into COVID-denialism, fascism [and] eugenics,’ Reaux said.”

despite all the hate, the attacking of my character, the lashing out, not a single nasal spray believer has sent me a single study providing convincing evidence that nasal sprays prevent covid. I am open for a scientific debate. unfortunately these people have no relevant quality science to point to

when you (rightfully) dunk on nasal sprays, suddenly the covid conscious community starts acting like antimaskers. in some cases, they literally dunk on respirators and understate their effectiveness. like they actually start talking like antimaskers lmfao

did you know that there is no convincing evidence that nasal sprays prevent COVID-19? I made a long reddit post about it! www.reddit.com/r/ZeroCovidC...

I made a reddit post with the info from my two instagram posts on rewearing N95s. I like having the info from both posts together and it might be easier to look through in this format :). let's stop spreading the myth than N95s are super protective for 40 hours! www.reddit.com/r/Masks4All/...

part 2 looking at rewearing N95s and what that does to filtration efficiency and fit! with predictions on how long it would take to get an infectious dose of SARS-CoV-2 in N95s with different filtration efficiencies and percent leaks vs. unmasked! www.instagram.com/p/DDDdhDSSJr...

made a post about the frequent claim that you can wear an N95 for 40 hours of total wear time and still be protected against COVID-19. and the data I could find really doesn't suggest that it's true! it doesn't seem safe to wear an N95 for anywhere near 40 hours: www.instagram.com/p/DC3ElJ6xJA...

I've been on here for 14 hours and I already got blocked by an "anti-disinfo advocate" for pointing out that they posted misinfo lmfao

there is so much misinfo about the BC teen's H5N1 genotype on here and elsewhere. I'll be posting an in-depth breakdown once I can 100 % confirm everything, just waiting on my registration with GISAID to go through. unrelated but there's also so much misinfo about nasal sprays preventing illnesses!!
