HBOT is MAHA MAGA quackery profiteering.
It’s very questionable to be promoting this sort of unproven and risky treatment based on unproven claims. It’s considered so problematic that typically reputable healthcare providers with hyperbaric oxygen therapy equipment for legitimate uses, (and the only medically proven uses are for the bends aka decompression sickness and some vascular wounds); these legit places often will disallow off-label & snake oil type uses of their equipment. I’m sure liability has a lot to do with that because this equipment is dangerous and expensive. So people using them for unproven and quackery reasons have to go to places that may not be as reputable, may be run to just make a buck off unwitting people, and in a way that makes them very dangerous. I wound up looking into this when people were promoting Jordan Vaughn and I looked into who that guy is and what he was up to and I found someone on reddit who had gone through all sorts of expensive long covid cure seeking and eventually tried HBOT, which was an expensive and disturbing story. Beware anyone or any organization promoting this as a treatment relevant to covid, it’s just not. This looks to me like the height of profiteering off of Long Covid sufferers, and very tragic.

California records avian flu in northern elephant seals Stephanie Soucheray, MA February 26, 2026 CIRAP The outbreak marks the first H5N1 detection in marine mammals in California, and the first detection of the virus in northern elephant seals. The seals lived at the Ano Nuevo Natural Reserve, where researchers were called late last week after reports of sick animals with abnormal respirations, tremors, and neurological symptoms. “This is exceptionally rapid detection of an outbreak in free-ranging marine mammals,” said Christine Johnson, PhD, director of the Institute for Pandemic Insights at the UC Davis’ Weill School of Veterinary Medicine, in a press release.
Study: RSV infection linked to increased risk of heart attack, stroke among adults - Foster Stubbs February 5, 2026 McKnights Long-Term Care News “What this study shows is that the risk of cardiorespiratory events after infection is increased — that RSV infection serves as the trigger for heart attacks, COPD exacerbations, and strokes,” Helen Chu, MD, MPH, of the University of Washington told MedPage Today. “[RSV vaccination] would have a short-term effect in reduction of these events — but that the protection may extend much longer, and in some cases out to 6 months for stroke and congestive heart failure.”
COVID survivors may be at higher risk for obstructive sleep apnea for up to 4.5 years post-infection Mary Van Beusekom, MS February 17, 2026 CIDRAP “Taken together, these findings underscore the need for multidisciplinary surveillance and risk stratification in post-COVID care,” the researchers wrote. “Screening for OSA should be considered in patients presenting with persistent fatigue, insomnia, neurocognitive dysfunction, or cardiopulmonary symptoms, even in the absence of classic OSA risk factors such as obesity.”

I don’t know why anyone would want to stay on the mechahitlerbot csam generator at this point. The government won’t act presumably because the chief troll is having dinner with the troller in chief, and it reminds me of the quote from Rick Pollay from 1992: “Many people rationalize that if it were really dangerous the government wouldn’t let it be advertised. They are wrong in that thinking. It is dangerous and the government does let it be advertised.”
I’ve experienced shadowbanning myself repeatedly on various platforms, and I’ve heard that even in private facebook groups, advocates and activists have their posts shadowbanned, with the admins not even being notified that posts are being held. It’s just not a useful place for grassroots people to try to do activism or even public pressure, unless you’re part of a coordinated campaign, because you just can’t compete as a grassroots activist with the influence operations. Of course influencers will try to convince you to stay on the app and boost them. And not just influencers, but scientist content creators as well. Product cults are a thing, and they even show up getting described as a business model in SEC filing forms.
