“palestine is dividing the left!” no, it’s defining the left. you’re not on it.

It's unacceptable that explaining the risk of Covid has fallen on the sickest members of our community. Everyone is at risk for #LongCovid regardless of vaccination or pre-existing conditions. It's an uncomfortable conversation, and we need to talk about it more. Kayli Jamieson #COVIDIsAirborne

Masks should be a permanent fixture in all healthcare settings moving forward. The constant elevated prevalence of Covid19, Long Covid, Post Covid Conditions, and the presence of H5N1, warrant a cultural shift across the board.

This is why reporters don't want to speak to the designated spokesperson. They know they'll get a cogent, thorough explanation of what the movement's demands are and that's disappointing for reporters hoping to portray an entitled hateful mob.

You have to understand, Gen Z is not going to back down.

They lost every teen milestone to the pandemic. They went to high school scared of being shot. They are inheriting a burning planet.

What are we gonna threaten them with, taking away their reproductive rights?

Has anyone else noticed when someone says 'you need to compromise' wrt Covid, it's usually an abled person telling a disabled person they need to live fully normally 2019 style?

Covid Is A Winter Virus.
But It’s Always Winter Somewhere, Right?

Man, nothing makes people on this site madder than asking them to care about others a little more.

The Covid activists who write very defensive threads about how they sometimes don’t mask indoors always frame it as doing risk management for themselves. That’s neat! Pick your own risk! However they get *very* quiet about the risks they are causing, not taking.

A HS friend asked if we can get together when he’s in town soon. So now I have to “come out” to him as a C19-safe person. I guess I’m glad I had a lot of experience a lifetime ago w/ coming out as gay. But I didn’t think I’d have to do it all over again at this point in my life.

COVID’S EFFECT ON THE IMMUNE SYSTEM

🔥 This is an excellent series of graphics from Yale School of Public Health explaining what we do (and don’t) know about Covid’s effect on the immune system.

Much of this is informed by the work of Dr. Akiko Iwasaki (@VirusesImmunity).

HEPA filters are not radical.
You have them in your car.
They have them in Parliaments and the White House and Buckingham Palace.
They have them in the International Space Station and at Davos.
HEPA filters ARE NOT RADICAL.

Welcome to the party.

You’ve got a lot of catching up to do.

Please move quickly.

You know what’s worse than mask fatigue or vaccine fatigue?

Long Covid fatigue.

What if we cleaned the air in schools and hospitals and all it did was stop this and every future airborne pandemic and also loads of the health problems caused by air pollution?

World Health Organisation Announces Definitively That Covid Is Airborne, Reminds Everyone To Wash Hands Really Well.

So it's fully established now:
Covid is airborne
Every infection adds to your risk of long term illness
Covid can harm your immune system
Covid can infect your brain
Covid can harm kids

What else.

Stranger: Why you wearing a mask
Me: I’m following CDC’s Covid guidance
Stranger: I thought CDC stopped telling us to mask
Me: Actually they recommend that people with weakened immune systems wear high quality respirators
Stranger: So what weakened your immune system
Me: Covid
