I love it when public health officials discourage the use of masks and say that they cause unnecessary fear. To the surprise of no one who pays attention, this doctor was a part of Biden’s COVID team.

Hantavirus and other deadly viruses are primarily spread by rodents like mice, rats, and fascists who cut USAID programs, withdraw from the World Health Organization, and tell people to drink bleach or take dewormer medication instead of wearing respirators. #TheMoreYouKnow

The next pandemic?! The world isn’t even prepared for the ongoing COVID pandemic.

There’s no vaccine for me yet, so if you know someone who is sick, consider hosting a Hantavirus Party. It worked so well with Chicken Pox and COVID. Let’s keep the good times rolling.

This is great news… for me. You? Not so much.

I truly could not have asked for a better comms team than the WHO. The down-playing of risks and “calm-mongering” is **chef’s kiss** They’ve learned nothing from COVID.

Look, it’s not the best place to live, but at least it’s not Cleveland. #Hantavirus

I’m “mildly positive” that Ndemic made the Plague Inc game far too difficult. I was confined to a boat, and got sent to every corner of the world, including a country whose health department is run by a toilet sniffer.

I may or may not become a pandemic, but know that if I don’t, it has nothing to do with how public health is handling me right now.

No reason whatsoever to share this, but did you know it took two years for the WHO to admit COVID was airborne? During those two years, individuals who shared evidence that it was airborne were criticized for spreading misinformation.

Never underestimate how important brunch is for your mental health.

Do me a favor, ignore @trishgreenhalgh.bsky.social and everyone who was right about COVID for the last six years. It’s really help me out if you listened to folks like Leana Wen, Mandy Cohen, and the guy who likes to castrate roadkill. www.bmj.com/content/393/...

Social distancing for 6 feet and 15 minutes is an ironclad method to stop the spread. There’s certainly no evidence to the contrary. #Hantavirus #StopTheSpread stacks.cdc.gov/view/cdc/256...

Mayor Bass (now): “While we have come a long way since the Americans with Disabilities Act was signed 35 years ago, we still have more to do to ensure that Angelenos of all abilities can thrive in Los Angeles.” Mayor Bass (just last year): Yeah, I think we should ban masks (proceeds to get COVID).

Seems like a good time to remind everyone that 2.5 years ago, the American Heart Association shared that a COVID infection doubles your chances of getting deep vein thrombosis for a year. #WearAMask #DamianLillard www.heart.org/en/news/2022...

People are too binary when it comes to the threat from viruses & other diseases They only think in terms of whether they will live or die (and everyone assumes they’re the exception & will survive) They forget the disabling effect many viruses have. Children left blind, deaf and/or chronically ill

If only there were years of evidence showing that an increase in myocarditis and heart attacks were attributable to COVID and not just MRNA shots. Unless you’re testing people who are vaccinated and still haven’t had COVID as a control group, blaming vaccines for this is anti-science.

In case anyone forgot, according to one of his own aides, the origin of anti-mask sentiment was Trump finding out it messed up his bronzer. Do with that information what you will. #WearAMask #MasksWork

SCOOP: Cats that became infected with bird flu might have spread the virus to humans in the same household and vice versa, according to data that briefly appeared online in a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention but then abruptly vanished. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/06/h...

USA: Long COVID impacting more than 1 million children: CDC study suggests. "The authors said there may be an under-reporting of long COVID in younger children due to difficulty with the verbalization of their symptoms." Study: jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

It really seems inevitable at this point. #BirdFlu www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

Few things irritate me more than people who wore masks (below their nose) for three whole weeks five years ago talking about pandemic fatigue. #BirdFlu #COVIDIsntOver #WearAMask

It is truly wild that it is estimated that more than 20 million people died of Covid and the prevailing vibe is that the world overreacted. That is an astonishing toll! More people died of Covid in the US than in the Civil War. www.pbs.org/newshour/hea...

How many chairs will be empty at Christmas dinners this year because the world decided to pretend that COVID isn’t a thing?

Hmm yeah I wonder why. What could possibly explain why this strange disorder is surging? I wonder if maybe disabled people have been warning everyone about this exact outcome since 2020? Can’t be sure. I guess we’ll never ever know. A mystery.

If I wanted to listen to ignorant opinions, I’d call my grandma. I certainly don’t need an app for that. You can’t fix stupid, but you don’t have to listen to or entertain it.

People who say “just get out and live!” As a way of scorning those who take covid precautions haven’t yet accepted what we already know. We ARE living. We’ve simply adapted. You will give up a LOT more than indoor dining if you become severely chronically ill.

Disabled people have been right about almost everything that’s happened over the last five years. People don’t listen to us because they don’t think of us as real people. We’re invisible (at best) and completely disposable (at worse). We are the canaries - and we are trying to warn you. Listen.
