"Who gets to be mourned by our politicians in America? For whom do they light candles, make speeches, and wipe away little tears in front of fawning Vogue reporters?"

"All this hasn’t even touched on the long-term effects of the disease: the spiking heart attacks, strokes and blood clots that follow COVID infection, the death of T-cells & subsequent damage to the immune system which is still being studied, or the microclots & viral persistence seen in Long COVID"

"'What’s going on in the sewage?' my friends and I ask each other, trying to gauge the status of the pandemic in a country that does not want us to know a thing about it. 'I think it’s holding steady,' we’d say, squinting at the odd data that hadn’t been updated for days. 'But I’m not really sure.'"

"As soon as the 'redundant' data disappeared[...]free test sites disappeared & PCR testing was privatized. Those of us who did as we were told & attempted to 'make our own risk assessments' found ourselves scouring obscure, difficult to use websites designed to track the levels of COVID virus in..."

"Deep into the [C19] winter wave, the HHS announced it would stop[...] COVID data; I reached out in disbelief to every reporter I knew, all of them white males in the Upper Middle Class, & was met with shrugs. 'This data is redundant,' they said, faithfully repeating the White House’s Press Release"

"As the pandemic rages on and millions suffer the ravages of this disease during both the acute and long-term phases, long COVID, cognitive damage, and spiking cardiac incidents following COVID infection are not mentioned. In fact, they are so little spoken of, that I..." @juliadoubleday.bsky.social

“To heal, we must remember,” proclaimed the President. “It’s hard, sometimes, to remember. But that’s how we heal. It’s important to do that as a nation.” 👉 www.thegauntlet.news/p/the-pandem...

Heroes doesn't wear capes. They wear a well-fitting RESPIRATOR while they teach, dance, sing, do martial arts, art, protest anti-science and fascism and treat patients. You can save lives and prevent illness too, yours and others by wearing a well-fitting FFP3 mask. Magdalena is a hero!

😳 Thank you so much, @anderbergskan.bsky.social. Solidarity! to all of us who #weararespirator to #ProtectChildrenFromCovid And immense gratitude to @juliadoubleday.bsky.social 😷

"...cleaning the indoor air by introducing higher ventilation standards and HEPA filtration standards would drastically reduce airborne illness [...] Yet no matter how [...] often and how seriously their children get sick- people seem to prefer getting sick than breaking from The Borg." 👇

"The government hates masks so much these days because they are a visual challenge to its propagandist narrative: it is perfectly fine and healthy to repeatedly contract COVID-19. This is a lie." Great piece from the always brilliant @juliadoubleday.bsky.social: www.thegauntlet.news/p/beyond-all...

re-upping this ‘cuz it’s such a good read. wanna know how we got here—the constant illness & infection, “tougher & longer” flu seasons, resurgence of measles, etc., etc., etc.? @juliadoubleday.bsky.social absolutely nails it—libs/progs et al., know thyselves! www.thegauntlet.news/p/liberals-j...

🎯 “People who cannot seem to fathom any middle ground between “2020 lockdown” and “doing literally nothing at all ever to prevent COVID spread”.” #DutyOfCare #CleanAir #LongCovid #LongCovidKids

“In particular, parents of young children seem to avoid information about COVID-19…It’s more pleasant to be part of a group that says COVID is not dangerous - & psychologically more soothing-than it is to look more closely when people you love are on the line.” #DutyOfCare #LongCovid #LongCovidKids

"What’s odd about the political climate surrounding forever COVID is that I really don’t see what the counterargument is against the idea that we should stop infecting children with a brain damaging virus" #ProtectChildrenFromCovid #CovidCausesBrainDamage

It's not like we were born with an innate understanding of N95 masks and airborne transmission. Many of us put in the intellectual effort to understand it, starting in 2020. You don't need a medical degree to understand this stuff. It has been explained, and explained, and explained.

"Some people will decry the sheer volume of such studies saying it is improbable a single pathogen can cause such diverse damage. SARS-CoV-2 doesn’t care about probability or people’s expectations." 👇 #ProtectChildrenFromCovid

"It is neglect of the highest order to look children in the eyes and say, ‘We knew how to protect you and we didn’t do it.’ We have access to a technology [points to her mask] to prevent airborne disease... and yet we refuse to use it." — Violet Affleck in her UN speech 👇 #ProtectChildrenFromCovid

Exactly. From scratch, but grassroots. Maybe pro bono from PR agencies or ppl like @scottsquires.bsky.social (who has bought TV slots for anti-Covid PSAs). Macedonia never had Buckle Up campaigns so hardly anyone wears a seatbelt, whereas nobody sane in the US drives without buckling up 👇

#BeCOVIDinformed #AvoidCOVID #ProtectChildrenFromCOVID

I agree. Right now — to first raise awareness of why we need #cleanair — I'm translating this, with the author's permission, into my language, Macedonian: #ProtectChildrenFromCovid 👇

My favorite essay on #neurodiversity (Btw, measles is airborne, too. 😷) A thread of some memorable quotes:

I’m on my lunch “break” and I am sitting outside, listening to birds, and having yummy food… and this is the terrible suffering I advocated for when I said choose a COVID-safer life…

Место 😱🎃🧟‍♀️👻 халовинска, велигденска #slušaonica Од времето кога бевме сите одговорни и солидарни (Ама значи у сѐ Вегета да се ставало 🌶️🧅🥕🥔🫑🧄)

6/ It’s not facts that change people. It’s trust. It’s relationship. You can’t argue someone into seeing what they’re not ready to see. What you can do is create space. Ask real questions. Stay connected. The shift comes later, after the conversation ends, when they’re alone...

If you ever wonder how your doctor can be so stupid as to not mask…in 1953 half of all physicians were smokers. Cigarettes were strongly suspected cause of the lung cancer epidemic since the 1940s, with strong scientific evidence. /1

Yet even as late as 1960 only 1/3 of all US physicians believed that cigarettes had been established as a causative agents. /2

Proving once again that when it comes to public health and medical science, always trust the scientists first over the doctors. The physicians, as a group, usually run decades behind in their knowledge. /3

"Every breath you take has been expelled out of someone else’s lungs. So if they’ve got Covid, you've got Covid.“ #AvoidCovid #AvoidLongCovid #weararespirator 😷 👇

Renée Despres does. Here's a great explainer booklet she wrote:

"We’ve been serially infecting children with a virus that damages their brains. We know it does this. And we just…. keep doing it?" 👇 #ProtectChildrenFromCOVID #CovidCausesBrainDamage

"Start from the top: acknowledge that COVID is airborne. Loudly. Educate the public about airborne mitigation measures and model them." 👇 #COVIDIsAirborne #AvoidCOVID #AvoidLongCOVID

"...continual COVID reinfection carries myriad risks that will impact their kids’ long-term health. You don’t give a child cholera so that future cholera infections will be milder; you clean the water source" 👇 #ProtectChildrenFromCOVID #AvoidCOVID #AvoidLongCOVID

"Do we really think parents would be happy with this critically poor air quality if they were aware? Can you imagine the community level reduction of illness if schools alone reduced their levels of viral spread?" 👇 #ProtectChildrenFromCOVID #AvoidCOVID #AvoidLongCOVID

"Hospitals are refusing to implement COVID infection control because of the costs" #AvoidCOVID #AvoidLongCOVID 👇

Going through old screenshots again... #CovidIsNotOver #maskupbuttercup

"Every infection increases the risk for heart attacks, strokes and heart disease; for new-onset diabetes; for cognitive decline and dementia; for deregulating the immune system; and for reactivating viruses like Epstein-Barr or shingles." 👇 #КОВИДинфо #ProtectChildrenFromCovid #AvoidCOVID

I continue to be in a dissociative state as Covid research keeps learning it is a dangerously risky & systemic disease while I watch people I know get sick from it with no worries as if it’s just a cold. While I’m perceived as “germ avoidant” for masking inside. No I’m specifically avoiding *this*

Disposable cheap N95 respirators are one of the greatest inventions in medical history. We *accidentally* drove one of the circulating flu strains *EXTINCT* in the wild early in COVID!

There are 2 articles in the Guardian: 1️⃣ stating that exhaustion is at EPIDEMIC levels 2️⃣ "The UK’s productivity crisis is one of the biggest challenges facing our economy and long-term health conditions in the workforce are a major factor in this" 🤦‍♀️Neither mentions #LongCovid

Until the media & government realise that firm action is needed to: 👉 prevent infection 👉 research into effective treatments This crisis will keep growing. But all we get is denial & the refusal to even mention the pandemic. #cleanair

The first result on Google: "Interestingly, although iron dysregulation was more profound during and following severe COVID-19, those who went on to develop Long COVID after a milder course of acute COVID-19 showed similar patterns in the blood" 👇 #AvoidCOVID #AvoidLongCOVID
