It's year 7 of this plague. There's no excuse to not understand how airborne transmission works. There simply is not. It's the LEAST complicated thing. Just like an N95. So simple. Stop pretending it's March 2020. 7 years of refusing 5 seconds of self-education is lib plague rat performativity.

Seeing multiple artists lately say they got covid at cons even while masking but then I see photos of most people wearing loose fitting ear-loop masks. For maximum protection you NEED A TIGHT SEAL! Head-loop masks like N95 are best (or at least get ear loop adjusters/mask tape so KN95 fits tighter).

NBC: Nothing But Caucasians

NBC News has reportedly eliminated its NBC BLK, NBC Asian America, NBC Latino and NBC OUT teams

no usually they only say it in secret while publicly demanding everybody keep pretending he's capable of beating Trump

white foreigners don't want to live here. they have their own racist ethnostates with actual healthcare and no armed pigs roaming the streets shitting on everyone like this is just so funny. the door has already been wide as it gets for literally any whitey mcwhiterson. they ain't rushin in

COVID is the least of it you filthy fuckers. you're hacking up dozens of pathogens on each other every single day we spent a bare six months barely covering HALF your nasty faces with chin diapers and that was STILL enough to make an entire flu strain extinct PUT A MASK ON, YOU'RE DIRTY

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-...

every government COVID resource in the country is just a link saying "hey CVS owns everything now, have fun getting coughed on in their lines"

“A clarinet player was arrested after playing her instrument to the tune of the ‘Ghostbusters’ theme song outside of a Portland ICE facility…”

trying to find ANY alternative to corporate pharmacies for vaccination makes it clear people WANT you to catch covid they get ANGRY when they find out you are genuinely trying to avoid it. they WANT you to be as sick as they are. they feel like you stole something from them by not being sick too.

But we can’t have universal healthcare 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👍🏽

Al Jazeera is doing videos of the Palestinian releases and they're heart wrenching. One man was detained for over a year and was released to find out that Israel had killed his two kids. The youngest was three. Her birthday would've been on Saturday. He'd made a small bracelet for her in prison.

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

Today would have been George Floyd’s 52nd birthday. His murder while people looked on is forever burned in my mind. The murder of a Black man by a white cop over allegations of a fake $20 is the sentence given to Black Americans. No jury, no judge, murder. He cried out for his mom and died.

Both sides of a conflict are calling each other evil and corrupt, rendering me, a humble journalist, helpless to discern the truth. Best I can do is let you know that both sides are in fact saying those things. Hope this helps

Thailand Struggles with Influenza Outbreak — Over 700,000 Cases and 61 Deaths. "With the number of influenza patients in Thailand surpassing 700,000 and 61 deaths reported, the Department of Disease Control (DDC) in Thailand has issued an emergency alert." Source: archive.md/n8JAE

Which is genuinely terrible. But before you get too blue-no-matter-who about it y'all haven't had your shots either and I know it because even in BIDEN'S last two years less than 30% of eligible adults received a booster. Those were the "get your UPDATED BIVALENT" years and you still didn't do it.

WA is on track for its worst year of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) despite strong vaccination rates. 11,551 cases have already been reported — just 104 short of the 2022 record. By contrast, only 9,725 cases were recorded in all of 2024. Source: archive.md/6XK9e

so funny to me the way a certain unmasked strain of scientist is compelled to get lecturey about "like airborne HIV" which is conceptually pretty on-the-nose, but doesn't raise a peep about "like the flu" which isn't even a little bit true or "a respiratory disease" which is even MORE untrue lmao

It only took 4 months. abcnews.go.com/US/los-angel...

COVID-19 Risks for Patients with Chronic Liver Disease. People with chronic liver disease (CLD) face higher risks from COVID-19. Studies show 20–65% develop liver test abnormalities during infection — linked to more severe illness and poorer recovery.

People are VERY huffy and stompy about this post but just as an inside opinion from someone in LC community, It’s hard to believe there is solidarity with the disabled and high risk people who need to avoid covid when our one primary ask is met with accusations that, hey, maybe we’re just CRAZY?

Carving out the people who are taking seriously the measurable and well-documented half-decade-old ongoing threat to your health as “Covid forever dead enders” is just your own way of being “antivax”. Same assed mindset because you don’t wanna, don’t care, and *need* to poop in the public well.😤💪

Repeat Covid infections increase your risk of Long Covid. We are in a mass disabling event that too many people are choosing to ignore. Every infection is a dice roll with disability, and many (children included) are being infected once a year or more. Mask up, clean the air, get boosted!

Most public unaware that that by infection 5 or 6 most people will have some form of long covid. There is no treatment or cure further long covid. Over 200 symptoms. Some listed here

Hello everyone. Antifa is not a real organization. Proud Boys are. Oath Keepers are. Patriot Front is. KKK is. Heritage Foundation is. Antifa is not. Thanks for your attention.

Whenever I see men complain about the male loneliness crisis or unique emotional/psychological issues faced by men, it’s very clear that they just don’t see women as full people capable of experiencing the exact same emotions they do

Actual safety notice from my alma mater: Ray-Ban Meta sunglasses being used exactly as everyone expected The techbros are not okay (it’s a completely open campus…not all the buildings, obviously)

it's funny the way RFK is pivoting to declaring inflammation the next bogeyman when he looks like a swollen lymph node who got left out with the raisins I can't handle much more of this you know he's healthy because he looks like a semi-sentient nutsack kinda shit

When I ask how her birthday was she informs me it was fun, but every year after her birthday festivities she gets ill, she says she doesn’t know where she caught it but as she listed where all she went I couldn’t be sure which of those places she had caught it at either.

I’m very very tired of “living in fear” being lobbed at maskwearers by people who frequently say they can’t wear one because no one else around them is. Living in fear is ignoring science and endangering lives and your own health because you’re terrified of not fitting in.

everybody's regular reminder about why the regular puffs of smoke he gets about writing for the fascist Times roll off his back also using the word "threat environment" for an ongoing deadly plague is fuckin gross what's next the virus is an "unsub" lmao. pig brain like all the other NYTers

Please familiarize yourself with the Great Barrington Declaration. It’s a right-wing/libertarian project—headed by some of the people now employed by RFK—that influenced many in positions of power to basically prioritize the economy & politics over the people’s health.

Everyone is vulnerable to the harms of COVID—not just the immunocompromised. Incorrectly thinking the latter is due to purposeful disinformation.

The vaccines help prevent hospitalization & serious illness, so everyone should get them. But unfortunately they don’t block all transmission or prevent long term effects.

The NYT has regularly “safewashed” COVID—not unlike how they’ve sanewashed Trump. Both are dangers to the public that should be reported on honestly.

Really disappointed & surprised to see this unscientific & unkind take from you, @jamellebouie.net. COVID is still dangerous: it can cause organ- & immune system damage. New damning studies—that aren’t reported by the media—come out regularly.

Inflation propaganda to uplift WEF agents in Downing Street when most people in my family had to cut down on our shopping Do these elites think if the stock market is doing well, that the cost of living crisis is over?

The entire purpose of these criminals is to drive asset prices higher to increase the wealth of billionaires while everyone else is impoverished with high inflation.

The “Oops, protein powder is full of lead” thing would explain so much.

"Erika Kirk accepted the medal on his behalf on what would have been his 32nd birthday, as was noted in her Depop listing, which was posted five minutes before she left the stage. The listing notes the medal's buyer is entitled to appear on her podcast during its 15th fundraiser since Kirk's death."

You cannot rely on hospitalization and MD records to track COVID. Doing so assumes that criteria for treating and admitting COVID cases has been rock steady when the exact opposite is true People actively REFUSE to admit it's COVID and tolerate constant sickness now. #s are higher than they appear.

1/ Bird flu is back, and more than 4.4 million birds have been sick in the past month. The uptick has been detected among backyard flocks, commercial farms, and wild birds. Katelyn here, Your Local Epidemiologist, and here’s what you need to know about this and other #publichealth news this week 👇

The hubris of deciding you're stronger than a virus when you're not even aware of the dense microbial carpet covering every inch of this planet. We're barely 20 years deep into the scientific understanding that "a virus" is not a thing, the microbial ECOSYSTEM is a thing and it's everywhere MASK UP
