Yall see how ableism intersects with fascism? How vulnerabilities become dangerous in the hands of communities that hate vulnerable ppl? If you’re someone who mocks masking when immunocompromised ppl ask you to mask, do you recognize yourself here?
How are news outlets dedicating wall-to-wall coverage to campus protests, but not the discovery of mass graves in Gaza of people with their hands tied & clothing stripped? Why do we not know more? Where are the journalists and resources being dedicated to that story?

How in the hell are people willing to protect meerkats but not cancer patients.
Wow, I wonder why all these expert Covid researchers are still masking??
i question leftists who claim they’re for labor rights and somehow patronize businesses maskless where the staff are wearing them. so you say you’re for sick pay, how about not getting people sick to begin with!?
Does anyone else get the sense that @WHO might be trying to avoid using the word "airborne"? Why? Maybe cause it would mean measures have to be put in place to protect the health of everyone globally? Nah, that can't be...
Who is still doing public health? @YaleSPH is.
"I don't have to choose between my values and my desire for connection.” @Clean_Air_Club_ still cares about COVID—and wants safer concerts. Learn how their Chicago-based organizing work helped create a global wave of clean air initiatives for artists. tnvge.co/dbLwGYk
I'm just re-read @WHO's recent report. As motivation, they state up front: ".....during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, the terms ‘airborne’, ‘airborne transmission’ and ‘aerosol transmission’ were used in different ways by stakeholders in different" (1/4)
"Your favorite performer could get #LongCovid and have to shelve their entire career for an unknown amount of time. The model we have been using isn’t sustainable, thoughtful, based on fact, or safe.” — @TeenVogue teenvogue.com/story/clean-ai…
Is is amazing how the protesters are always right 50 years ago and always wrong today
2020: This is scary but with everyone taking precautions the risk is low. 2021: At least there's isolation guidance and reqs for sick folks to mask up. 2022: At least there's still masks in healthcare. 2023: Oh god. 2024: Can you at least not assault me for or outlaw my PPE?
Please - it is really this simple. Keep hearing how the public will not understand...come on. This is cover for why they never protected anyone. Time to stop spreading this garbage info.

What if all the time and money spent on discussing changing the term "airborne" was spent on educational campaigns on airborne transmission instead

Kids don’t need to get sick to be healthy Infections are not good for children—they have historically been the top killer of children…. 🧵with excerpts from YLE
Yall normalized a virus with immune damaging effects that carries only a few months of immune protection. What exactly did you think was gonna happen Wear a fucking mask 😷 (and demand clean air NOW!)

N95 Respirator Fanboy!😷You know, we tried. We tried gentle exercise in bouts of 30 s and resting after. And yet, people keep telling us about how exercise is beneficial. Will you ever just listen to patients? Find a cure for PEM and the secondary deconditioning isn't an issue anymore. 🧵
This is an important point. Even for people who are fortunate enough to recover from Long Covid (& ME), how many people can afford to be extremely sick for 1-3+ years?? How does one begin to rebuild their lives after that?! Oh & then you need to dodge the virus forever.
I know I’m not the first to have a serious illness and I’m not looking for sympathy. I want people to understand that even for those of us who have seemingly recovered, this illness has been devastating and destructive. 5/🧵
I know people mean well, but please try to refrain yourself from passing on unsolicited advice to me about Long Covid. I haven’t just been twiddling my thumbs for almost 16 months, I tried countless supplements, breathing techniques, diets, mindfulness etc.
@StefanGBucher That’s exactly how I’ve been feeling the last few months - “when did I become the radical for continuing to mask indoors? Did I miss that memo?”
@RabbitholeGirl @ask_aubry People were so blasé about it.
@GayFabFourFan Sometimes this approach can actually help some folks think differently. Only some. But still. Because by talking from your perspective, it often makes them feel less criticized and less defensive. So that tends to also make them a little bit more receptive to info.
But from now on, I’m working at no longer attaching myself to the notion that I can make my family members, friends, or anyone else change. At best, I can share info and hope that it may positively influence them. That’s all I can reasonably do.
I’ll continue advocating for protecting the vulnerable and the immunocompromised and hell, everyone, because the truth is, we’re all vulnerable to C19. But some are more immediately vulnerable than others.
I hope so, but I can no longer feel responsible for it. That’s too much stress for one person to take on. And after all, isn’t all of this about protecting your health as much as possible?
And maybe a few others still wear masks on airplanes because somewhere in the back of their mind there’s a subconscious, pleading reminder from their one C19-safe family member or friend?
That said, my mom wears N95s when she’s out, and both of my parents got Novavax and run the air purifiers we got them. So some important people have listened and responded appropriately.
But of course the sad truth is, I’m not a one-person public health department. And the denial is just too strong, too overwhelming.
But I lost sight of this in my desperate attempt to try and protect my loved ones. I thought, I’m keeping up with this and they’re not, so it’s my moral duty and ethical responsibility to try and keep them safe as much as I can, as much as is within my reasonable control.
Before this nightmare began, I understood well that one person can’t really change another. They of course have to want to change before they’ll change.
I had a breakthrough last night. Now when I share C19 scientific data & info with others who are in denial or not following the science, etc., I’ll say, I’m not trying to change your behavior. I’m just sharing this info to show you why I’m living as I am.
If you are due for Novavax right now... You should probably get it asap... There is an expiration for the current batch of THIS MONDAY. There will likely be a gap in access for at least a month or two... And you want to get it now to be on time for the upcoming winter update.
