If you’re mad about another shitty Ryan Cooper post saying people who don’t want Covid or Long Covid are “doomers” take a deep breath and remember the time he described the Nintendo Switch as a product of Marxism. He isn’t qualified to think or write. He isn’t smart. theweek.com/articles/747...

If anyone can help, Sheffield Mask Bloc could use a hand with funding! opencollective.com/sheffieldmas...

This war is an unspeakable crime and the people who ordered it and participated in it are criminals. Unforgivable.

The world must boycott the World Cup and the Olympics. It is both the only moral choice and will actually get the attention of these dead-eyed clout demons.

Haven’t been here in a while. Have mainly been trying to pull my mental health out of the gutter with the help of some wonderful anti-covid people I’ve met this year. It still sucks to feel like you’re on an alien planet after six fuckin years of this shit - hang in there. And free Palestine

COVID is still a thing. Wear an N95 at the convention, nerds!

RIP Leslie Lee and Alice Wong Look after each other. Check in on people.

As I read this, I'm thinking about the man I interviewed who had to be hospitalized from the Covid he caught at the poultry processing plant and he got fired for it and he still has long Covid

We know lots of you have been asking 3M for a Black Aura - like mask for consumer use. Today we're excited to launch a new product to fill that hole in the market! Introducing the headband version of BreatheTeq KN95. Available in black and white.

www.thenation.com/article/soci... this is really excellent. Prison abolitionists need to fold anti-COVID practices into their work, particularly if they’re in proximity to the prison and near people who are entering/exiting and agitating to get prisoners safe conditions, masks and vaccines

I believe that the state and media backed changing of the meaning of the word, 'Covid' to 'the period of time when non-pharmaceutical interventions were in place' rather than the disease itself will, in the future, be seen as the most damaging linguistic trick in history.

I'm a little sick haha Yeah everyone is sick right now it's crazy

@denizcamp.bsky.social very cool to see Deniz! Thank you! www.reddit.com/r/UltimateUn...

Before everyone says “Alan Moore stay winning” please remember he once ran a zine publishing Glinner saying Twitter gives him hope for the future, Alan’s wife called other women weird misogynistic slurs and their NHS consultant said people need to take responsibility for their own health. No heroes

UK: "Over 14,000 people in England & Wales died with COVID after catching the virus in hospital" Published: 6 Mar 2023 FOI data from the NHS (Mar 2020 – Aug 2022) shows: 14,047 patients died after catching COVID inside hospitals in England & Wales — and 69,337 more were infected after admission.

People continue to call COVID advocates’ pleas for masking “unreasonable”. Yet people who’ve already been disabled by COVID have no choice but to live with the “unreasonable” burdens of constant COVID safety. My latest: substack.com/home/post/p-...

To say people make a rational assessment of the threat environment around Covid… is just not true. Most people refuse to talk about or read anything about Covid. Long Covid has surpassed asthma as the most common childhood illness, and it’s rarely spoken of. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

there was a COVID outbreak at the Florida ICE camp and a 30something man died of COVID after being snatched by ICE. I’m worried all of these people being abducted via racial profiling are being plunged into disease pits. When organising around this, do everything to can to prevent transmission

The vaccine doesn’t stop infection, transmission or long term effects (organ and vascular damage). It’s there to stop most people having severe acute phase an and hospitals being overwhelmed. It costs a lot of money most people don’t have. It needs twice-yearly boosting to remain effective

We need to stop saying COVID harms disabled people and stress that it is a disability accelerator. If we say COVID harms disabled people we produce the false idea there are people who COVID can’t harm. When we do that, we move away from accomplishing what we want as people lower on the ladder

Sorry about that - I meant "Lockdown" and used a shorthand, and can see why that pissed you off.

Bloody Kieron Gillen using the phrase “post-Covid” in one of his post-Power Fantasy essays, give me strength! But it’s actually a pretty revealing quote…

(The second image in the 🧵with alt text.) #COVID

With only a handful of fringe exceptions everyone I know or have seen who masks cares more about getting the COVID vaccine (and an expanded range of COVID vaccines) than the general public

Levi, ACIP working group chair, is saying with WG is concerned that vaccine is only mostly effective for some months. So, THAT'S THE NEED FOR MORE RESEARCH AND MORE WIDENED ACCESS TO BI-ANNUAL VACCINATIONS.

A 41-year-old immunocompromised man endured acute COVID-19 for 750+ days, with 5 hospitalisations and ongoing respiratory symptoms. Unlike long COVID, the infection never cleared. His extremely low T-cell count 35/µL, far below the healthy 500–1,500 range, allowed the virus to persist.

The fix is in. Get your COVID vax THIS WEEK, friends. Do not wait if you can avoid it.

my mom tried to give me all these tips when i became depressed from being exhausted and brain fogged in high school that i could hardly do my homework. all of her suggestions made me feel like a failure bc they didn’t work. i was diagnosed w/ a post-viral condition one year later.

A problem with most people thinking COVID-19 is no longer a threat is that I just had a weird loss prevention dude follow me around a grocery store (occasionally coughing) because he could not fathom that anyone wearing a face mask (despite me also using a cane)- wasn't nefarious. We're in a surge.

Covid has returned and it’s going to hurt. By Lesley-Ann Jones, Daily Express, Saturday September 13, 2025 Source: x.com/LAJwriter/st...

The IPC cell minutes revealed at the COVID inquiry exposed the main barrier. Saving face matters more than saving lives: "if you wanted to change the guidance itself, it would need a very careful narrative, otherwise it would be easy to give the impression that we got it wrong..."

COVID is literally stored in the balls and it’s damaging reproductive health Bobby, maybe try and support people not getting infected

I think I cracked how to make masking desirable, even hedonistic

Good luck to anyone in California and consider upgrading to a p100 mask for a little bit

Why is NACI allowing only 1 COVID vaccine per year for most Canadians, making many ineligible for the fall vaccine? Everyone should be eligible: 1. It’s an UPDATED vaccine. 2. COVID vaccines begin to wane at 4 months - it’s NOT a yearly vaccine. #Canada #COVID www.canada.ca/en/public-he...

A 32 year old man died of complications of COVID-19 while being held hostage by ICE goons. This isn’t tragic, it’s a crime azdailysun.com/news/local/c...

Cases of H5N1 in which the source of infection cannot be traced always unnerve me. One of the children in California - infected in Dec of last year - is now in that category . These cases always raise the suspicion of an as-yet unknown mode of transmission. www.cidrap.umn.edu/avian-influe...

This is a person who talks about “COVID Doomers” btw. Actual “COVID doom” is assuming we’re all fated to catch COVID over and over (it still isn’t endemic), doom meaning an inevitable and terrible fate

but many folks are still shocked that you can even catch covid and die or become disabled from it, likely in part bc of phrases like “during covid,” which heavily implies an “after,” which you’re arguing there IS an after. after freezer trucks, sure. but not after it no longer kills. 2/2

it’s not pedantic, it shapes our reality. if everyone truly understood covid was very much still here, still killing people, still disabling people, then i don’t think we would say “during covid,” i think we would say “during the worst of covid” or “during the beginning” 1/2

another week, another person i’ve known for years who stopped masking hitting me up for doctor recs. they’ve got longcovid. i always give as much as i can. illness is not punishment for not engaging in mitigation behavior in an environment lacking systemic safety, it is simple cause & effect.

I've seen many debating what to do if COVID vaccines truly disappear in the US & what they told me in Canada (as I can only safely receive a vaccine our government no longer buys)- is to "get infected to avoid infection" which is obviously bad advice. So, I wear an N95 everywhere in public instead.

I guess the cat's out of the bag! I've been beta testing the new COVID variant which should be hitting store shelves this holiday season. While my NDA prevents me from going into too many details here's what I can reveal: shit sucks I hate it

'The unexpected finding that vaccination-only participants showed superior cross-neutralization compared to individuals with hybrid immunity challenges conventional assumptions about hybrid immunity advantages'. www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

Hearing accounts from Gaza talk about a COVID outbreak, though I assume the only thing that stops infectious disease in conditions that inhumane and crowded is temporary immunity post-infection following outbreaks
