🧵PUBLIC HEALTH SHOULD NOT BE A CULTURE WAR 😷 It’s bizarre watching politicians, like Kemi Badenoch perform trauma around masks while millions live with the reality of not masking; death, disability, ME, Long Covid. The Guardian are asking for opinions on masking 🖇️👇 /1

"There has been a lot of squabbling over masks in recent weeks. The reality is that yes they do help ... we are not at the stage where they should be mandatory. However if you are working with people who are vulnerable, or in a crowded space then you should wear a mask."

Customer service helpline today, so many ill people calling up. Honestly, it's insane that so many are repeatedly willing to get sick! 😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬

If you want to protect your Grandma against the flu that's going around: wear a mask. If you want to protect our NHS against the flu that's causing chaos: wear a mask. If you want to protect your own pandemic denial & contempt for vulnerable strangers maybe you're not very nice. #PlaguePoems

Covid mRNA vaccines have a rare link to myocarditis adverse events (~30 cases per million 2nd doses). Extensive work in mice shows two inflammation mediators that appear to be the mediators and a plant-derived anti-inflammatory (genistein) that blocks it www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

I am so fed up of hearing opinions over science fact. There has been far too much of this and it’s why so many died and so many millions have long covid and why we are over run with the flu! www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

If you’re not doing anything wrong, you don’t need to hide your face. If you’re simply “enforcing the law” you don’t need to shove home security cameras away. People recording you wouldn’t be seen as a “threat”. ICE doesn’t want to be recorded because they commit atrocities.

"People who live within 500 metres of a goat farm have a 73 per cent higher risk of pneumonia than other Dutch residents. If you live within one kilometre of a goat farm, you have a 19 per cent higher risk of pneumonia." We drink clean water and eat cooked food, but we breathe dirty air.

NHS England: “It will not be possible to halt the spread of a new pandemic virus, and it would be a waste of public health resources and capacity to attempt to do so.” This has got to be one of the most 🤯 things I’ve ever seen written down in an official document.

The US State Department wants to deny visas to anyone engaged in online activity like combatting misinformation, fact checking or compliance. They want state sanctioned media. They want propaganda Anyone who speaks the truth is at risk. Keep speaking out. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Fucking awful. As for me, they'd have to pry my respirator off of my cold, dead face. My *rational* terror of Covid keeps me Novid!

This is an abject failure of public health. And it's tearing society apart. Pandemics require collective action. "You do you" is not a viable or recognised public health strategy. It has created a vacuum populated with misinformation, disinformation, & eugenics. It never had to be this way.

If you live with someone who has long Covid or a post-viral illness & you’re doing a weekly circuit of maskless bars, restaurants & concerts, you're not "living your life." You're sacrificing theirs

Have they tried respirators and opening the windows??

Thank you to everyone who joined Winter Reflections. We’ll replay the concert next weekend, and the recording will stay online for 72 hours so you can watch whenever suits you. Exact times to follow by email. Thank you for your patience. #AirMadeAudible

What evidence is there that uplands like this were once covered by temperate rainforest, and would return to such a state naturally but for sheep? Loads... 🧵

'If unwell' still stigmatises anyone wearing one. Anyone can protect themselves, don't wait to be unwell.

A teacher in Greenville, North Carolina told her black students that if it wasn’t for the constitution, they would be her slaves. Other students began using the N word and when a black student spoke out, the teacher replied “it’s ok we’re all a little bit racist”

Document from NHS England which basically says when there is another Pandemic we can’t be bothered to protect you, it’s too costly. We are on our own folks. H/T @catinthehat.bsky.social

Policies of negligence have allowed Covid-19 to spread without control, causing huge amounts of illness and mortality. It is abundantly clear that strong, uncompromising measures of essential safety, such as requiring respirator masks in all public spaces, urgently need to be enforced. #COVID19

Super important topic: Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is not dangerous! Not only is it important to remove the warning labels, but also to encourage more women to take the therapies for menopause. Women are 2x more likely to develop #Alzheimer, and HRT can protect the brain.

Sadly the UK is on a slippery slope. That’s why I’m voting Green Party.

In addition to, you know, the suffering and death, the impending skyrocketing cost of health insurance premiums for many Americans is also going to wreck the economy

amen to all of this!

I’ve always had trouble communicating with doctors and it’s only got worse since I’ve been wearing a respie (April 2020). Most think I’m anxious, hysterical or anti-vax. I intend to use some of these strategies at my next appointment.

I also want to say that I find it increasingly disturbing to see AI stories on some platforms disguised as true stories. Even if they are happy stories. These stories might seem on the surface to be ok and nice but what is it telling us all? It’s blurring the lines between truth and reality.

The last 6 years of the ongoing pandemic has shown me that even if you have studies and evidence to back up your argument- no matter how hard you try, they don’t care.

This has been going on since 2020, since I started campaigning for vaccines and clean air. These bots shaped the narrative on COVID. www.infectioncontroltoday.com/view/covid-1...

Does anyone know how to end a shadow ban here? It's been going on for 3 weeks, since I posted photos of my mom's books, which moderation hid. I wrote to them & they said they'd take appropriate action, but it's only getting worse. Followers have told me they aren't seeing my posts, & engagement...

Yet, absolutely no one will wear a respirator, or clean the air. 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 BBC News - 'Massive increase' in flu cases hits hospitals and schools - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

A friend with a new baby asked guests to mask in order to hold her baby. A relative refused to mask & broke down in tears about her "restrictions" As a reminder, babies <6 months have the 2nd highest hospitalization rate from Covid after adults 75+ & are too young to be vaxxed

Multiple large natural experiments have documented Shingles vaccine is linked with ~20-25% reduced risk of dementia and Alzheimer's disease. A new report today adds to that and extends the to slowing the progression of dementia @cellcellpress.bsky.social www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

If all you did today was breathe and survive… that’s ok. Surviving a capitalist, eugenicist, ableist system is hard work. Resistance is exhausting. Never forget that rest is resistance. Survival is resistance. You’re not alone. There’s more of us than there are of them.
