#UnpopularOpinion If a company can be liable for misleading and deceptive conduct when it lies to sell a product, politicians and media outlets should be liable when they lie to sell themselves or their content.

Australians have recently been able to access Nuvaxovid (Novavax) through the SAS.
We've launched an Expression of Interest for people seeking access, doctors willing to consider prescribing, and pharmacists willing to administer if supply becomes available.

every couple months we get one of those "my crackpot theory is that covid changed everything" threads from non-sick people and then a couple posts down they make it clear that by "covid" they really just mean "the brief period where we were sorta still trying to mitigate covid".

High fatality. Long incubation. Proven human-to-human transmission. Possible pre/prodromal infectiousness. Known exposed cohort.
Quarantine exposed contacts now - properly (no shared air, for the full potential incubation period).
Waiting for symptoms risks onward transmission. #hanta #hantavirus

In medicine, we rarely rely on a single study. It's the totality of the evidence that matters.

I’m sure the only impact of the fine will be to make it harder for St Basil’s to afford staff training. Meanwhile, the boneheads in the Commonwealth Department of Health who failed to advise St Basil’s that COVID is an airborne disease have not been investigated.

Dear Young People.
This post is written for you…
Our generation of doctors decided to let you all get infected with a novel virus without even protection from vaccines in many cases, and we already knew that some of you would be killed or disabled for life when we made that decision.

Institutions hollowed out. Separation of powers sidelined. FOI neutered. Corruption normalised. Now protest is on the chopping block.
At what point do we stop pretending that this is a functioning democracy?

Don’t let grief or anger be weaponised to divide us. We can condemn violence, oppose injustice, and still recognise our shared humanity. Two things can be true at once.

For the next 4 weeks, starting tomorrow, we will be displaying different experiences from patients on billboards, during peak hour!
