Message to my analysis group
April 9, 2022 by ferniglab
So immediately I despatched this e mail as a reminder to the members of my analysis group.
“I write this e mail as a result of College administration has abdicated all duty in the direction of the wellbeing of their workers and college students, and their households. Present College and UK authorities Covid ‘guidelines’ contradict the most straightforward proof, which relies on exceptionally strong physics and biology/medication. We’re scientists able to important considering, and we should always carry these qualities into our each day lives.
Over the previous few weeks our masking at work has turn out to be fairly poor.
The masks we put on defend others – to guard your self you want a FFP2 or N95.
Everybody in my group WILL put on a masks always besides when they’re consuming. I established this guidelines earlier than the 2020 lockdown and it has served us effectively, stopping plenty of group acquired circumstances from spreading to different lab members.
Which means sporting a masks correctly, over the nostril AND mouth.
Why this reminder?
As a result of
1. The pandemic stays is stronger than within the Spring of 2020, as variants are extra transmissible.
2. Vaccines are imperfect, plenty of us have youngsters at college who might not be vaccinated (pediatric vaccination is now obtainable and I might advocate it, for causes defined beneath)/
3. There’s a degree of discomfort related to sporting a masks and sometimes after vaccination.
4. So why? As a result of Covid is a multi organ systemic illness. You do not need to have extreme lung illness to have hits on different organs. ALL main organs are affect4d, mind, coronary heart, liver, kidney, pancreas.
5. The consequence of multi organ systemic illness is long0-term incapacity. You’re all younger, you don’t wish to spend many years with a significant incapacity or two should you can keep away from thi this.
6. Vaccinated folks get covid.
7. Vaccinated individuals who have been contaminated get re-infected.]
8. Every time you get covid you’ve gotten a ten% likelihood of growing Lengthy Covid, that’s the multi organ long-term illness that follows an infection. That is true for me as it’s for kids. A easy calculation, take a household of 4, getting contaminated 2x a yr, how lengthy earlier than one in all them has Lengthy Covid?
So masks on and correctly, as we did in March 2020 earlier than lockdown. Anybody not complying can be despatched residence.
