Glad we’re finally back to that pre-pandemic normal of people collapsing on TV all the time.

Probably too contrarian for Bluesky at the moment. Waiting til the echo chamber euphoria wears off.

Weird.

When your amazing Long C-19 patients want to share moments of love and reciprocal love and kindness... To be sure.... This makes everything worthwhile 💖💖 You know who you are, My Darling Person 😘

Oops.

This is the way.

Such a good satire post about Prasad.

To save you a few months of gaslighting in early 2025 and a couple of years of bad science after that, assume 1. we have all had the bird flu 2. It is mild 3. Only the frail and those who didn't wash their hands will fall by the wayside 4. Vitamin C, D, positive thinking FTW

#Low_IQ_Pandemic Taking on a whole new meaning... As if IQ's aren't sufficiently falling. @radcentrism.bsky.social

Remember that billionaires are also funding this platform.

“Personal responsibility” is a fiction when it comes to this virus because—very simply—you don’t have personal air.

“The worm made me do it”

Asking for a newbie “friend.”

What I said Jan 2022... So if we all agree that we will be living with respiratory viruses in the future & that they have an airborne transmission component, can we agree that it is essential to clean indoor air using filtration & ventilation for all schools/businesses so we can get our lives back?

Excellent news! We’ll have herd obesity by spring.

JFC. The end is nigh.

What is this starter pack business?

This one is going directly in @radcentrism.bsky.social's #LowIQPandemic folder. Also, that sounds tragic.

😂😂😂😂 I think the Low_IQ_Pandemic is well underway @radcentrism.bsky.social

How brutal can I be on this platform?

A single-cell analysis of adult human hearts found that pericytes have high ACE2 expression. This makes them potential targets for SARS-CoV-2. Injury to pericytes due to the virus may lead to dysfunction in capillary endothelial cells. academic.oup.com/cardiovascre...

Doctors who praised and legitimized RFK are blameless.

Who pays the tariff? We pay the tariff. Wait for the moment the guy finally realizes at the end…. Pass it on.

Okay, I’m on. So you can block me here too.
