In 2026 if a prominent CCC account does not understand that particulate filtration doesn't affect gas composition…
…well what can even be said. Mildly puzzling, and just not credible. Engagement farming I guess? Recycling the old 2021 bangers?
Also in this basket, prominent CCC accounts that in 2026 are yet to notice the gaping chasms either side of their nose, bypassing the filter. There's just no excuse this far on the journey.

Three days, ago VRBPAC meeting for "…recommendations on the selection of the 2026-2027 Formula for COVID-19 vaccines for use in the United States…" was announced, 28th May:
https://www.fda.gov/advisory-committees/advisory-committee-calendar/vaccines-and-related-biological-products-advisory-committee-meeting-may-28-2026-announcement
I am very much looking forward to Doctor Thornburg's May 2026 presentation on epidemiology and genomics.
I watched in 2023 and 2024 because Australia buys USA vaccines (only Pfizer now), didn't watch in 2025 for [reasons], didn't even know if it was going to happen, but have just caught up with 2025 somewhat:
It's six hours long. Being USA, the focus is presentations from Moderna, Pfizer, and Novavax/Sanofi.
If interested in viral evolution (and vaccine effectiveness), I would draw your attention to these two presentations with timestamps and documents:
Natalie J. Thornburg, PhD
Genomics, epidemiology, mutations, evolution, and a great explanation of the physical structures making up the spike protein:

Couple of interesting BA.3.2 threads, the links contain embedded images in proper location.
Both loosely around the idea that BA.3.2 is circling around in a local maxima.

BA.3.2 is strange is so many ways.
It's now 17 months old, which is really quite old for a COVID lineage.
Every so often there is a sweeping lineage that displaces everything in circulation, but when that doesn't happen the existing 'clans' fight it out with each other.
The longest running clan is the current one. BA.2.86 emerged around July 2023 and is still going strong.
This is the RBD of the original BA.2.86, and some of its descendants from 17 months later.
(graphic)
The second longest lasting was the XBB clan. It emerged around August of 2022 and lasted until early 2024.
Again, here is the original RBD and the RBDs 17 months later.
(graphic)
Now here is the RBD of BA.3.2. It's ACE2-binding stinks, and yet it hasn't bothered to change its RBD at all.
(graphic)
And plus BA.3.2 sequences are coming disproportionately from children.
I'm becoming more and more convinced that the adult infections are just asymptomatic. That would fit better with the wastewater detection levels.

While other variants eventually evolved themselves into a corner (e.g. Delta, late XBB, XEC/KP.3.1.1, and now XFG), BA.3.2 seems to have been born in an evolutionary ditch form which it can't extract itself.

Past couple of days: Grumpy old man special interest forum, forty year old asks about new memory problems. Everyone chimes in with their memory loss stories, the sixty and seventy year olds also, most saying it's normal and forty year olds shouldn't remember things. Hmmmmm. 🤔
Gaming chat, much muuuuuch younger cohort, teens, twenties, someone mentions they've had a migraine of varying intensity since September. They've mentioned it before, some days it incapacitates. Then others mention similar, and impaired sleep, and memory loss, and relying on energy drinks to get to school, and so on. ⚡
No-one mentions why. It's just normal now. They seem reassured that everyone else is having the same experience. 🙌

Saw several recent posts saying if governments enforced clean air in schools, the pandemic would be over. No, it would not, for technical and social reasons.
I had the misfortune to live in a state where the government once tried to do the right thing, and the people absolutely sabotaged it.
First I must stress: REDUCE CLASSROOM INFECTIONS BY A THIRD (best result of clean air) means YOU STILL FUCKING LOST. The child finishes school with 4 infections instead of 6. They still have a brain full of Lewy bodies and syncytia, scarred lungs, fucked kidneys, fucked cancer surveillance, shortened telomeres, cardiovascular damage, autoimmunity, metabolic derangement, infected grandparents, cats and dogs living together etc. etc. Fuck right off with your "harm reduction".
This is related to the fact that you only mitigate near field transmission with a respirator, and when you pack 30 small humans into 64m2, you get a lot of near field transmission.
Well what does it even matter now? It already happened, to nearly everyone.
Lets improve the air quality in schools!
Schools here received an updated operations guide, regarding ventilation and filtration. These were directives, not optional. They now appear to be suggestions.
https://www2.education.vic.gov.au/pal/ventilation-air-purification/policy
All schools eventually received at least one air filter per classroom (most two). So they had the filters, they had instructions to be aware of ventilation, to keep windows open, to move classes outside, to keep classes separate, no combined assembly, etc. etc.
The teachers tolerated it for a few months, then started closing the windows, turning the air filters off, eventually hiding the air filters, then even selling the air filters.
No, let's recirculate air!
Additionally our school had evaporative cooling units on all classrooms, which is 100% fresh air. They replaced these with refrigerated air conditioning in 2022, which is 100% RECIRCULATED air. I would try and explain, peoples' eyes lost focus, even so-called CCC. Think Nigel Tufnel "These go to eleven". Completely beyond them.
Result:
So now the school air quality is measurably worse than in 2019. We've fucking gone backwards, and it was EVERYBODY who got on board and did this in a reactionary FUCK YOU I WON'T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME manner, despite everything being paid for and delivered to them by the government. This in the keep-telling-ourselves-we're-the-most-progressive state in Australia.
There's a lot more I left out (masks in schools). People are very strange. Sometimes they will pull together and do something worthwhile, other times they will collectively shoot themselves in the genitals. None of it makes any sense.
Maybe randomly one day everyone will suddenly want infection control? FIIK.
Well what would you do instead?
I watched clean air and masks fail. Conceptually interesting, absolutely didn't work in real primary schools. Young children are simply incapable of rigorously mitigating against a BSL-3 pathogen. If you are honest with yourself, the concept is absurd. Primary school teachers aren't much better.
I currently think real time virus detection via continuous air sampling might work.
But the world has moved on. 🤷
Interested in music, rock, pop, classical, metal, indie, shoegaze, folk, so much out there to discover. Books such as SciFi, magical realism, natural history, gentle fiction, coffee table art. Trying to navigate raising children, education, healthcare in a surprisingly pro-infection environment. Like everyone around me (VIC🇦🇺), lived through 262 days of "lockdown" spread over roughly two years. Still mystified by the rug pull in October 2021 and the complete denial/silence around the subject now. Outside the home, I always wear a respirator indoors, and sometimes outdoors depending on proximity/density. I have family members that are "high risk" but I think everyone is high risk. Increasingly ghosted/isolated as time goes on, ostensibly because of refusal to dine indoors. #NoBridge #NoBot #NoBots #NoIndex #NoAI 有些门一旦打开,就关不上了。
