Who is going to prevent insurance companies from hiking up premiums on all the patients who end up with chronic conditions from long COVID, even if their active infections were "mild"?

2020: “essential workers”
2022: “low skilled workers”

Tried to read an article on how to double mask correctly. It was behind a paywall.

Keeping important and potentially life saving information off limits like that is so ridiculous. There has got to be an overhaul of what gets to be available and how 🙄

disabled people 🤝 epidemiologists

telling everyone exactly what’s going to happen and what we need to do and no one listening to them

[Stella Safo, MD MPH @AmmahStarr]

Half the people I encounter are living like Covid doesn’t exist. The other half is perpetually practicing risk mitigation like it’s their job. The cognitive dissonance is wild. Wild.

I don't know who needs to hear this but Polio and smallpox never reached natural herd immunity. They were eradicated by vaccines.

Chronic illness and/or disability causing you to stop working, quit your job, etc. isn’t the same as a relaxing vacation!

[Roxy @RoxyTall]

When you tell Americans they have to do something for the good of their community they literally think it’s genocide lol

You’re right. A majority of their activism has been:

“She’s not disabled so why is she being treated like she is?” and not “why is an entire system in place to do this to disabled people”

Well, here are issues that are currently going on if #FreeBritney advocates are curious:

-30-40% of people in jails and prisons have a disability.
-50% of people kïlled by police have a disability.
-it’s legal to pay us below the minimum wage in 38 states.
-a recent report

When people say shit like “I don’t want to be a wheelchair user” / “I’d rather be dead than not walk” / “My life would be so much harder” … what you’re really picking up on is ABLEISM. Life shouldn’t change all that drastically just because you’re sitting instead of standing.

[Graham Walker, MD @grahamwalker]

A med school prof said to us on week 1, “You’ll never really know what your patients are going through, because almost none of you have ever had a serious illness by the very nature that you got into med school and didn’t have illness weighing you down.” Think about that a lot.

Researchers found contacts of vaccinated cases were less likely get Covid than contacts of unvaccinated cases. Most transmission occurred in households, showing that vaccination can protect household members—including kids not yet eligible for vaccination. https://t.co/uUnbrHssCx

[Dr. Tom Frieden @DrTomFrieden]

A new study found that vaccinated people with breakthrough infections were less likely to spread Covid. Not only does getting vaccinated reduce your risk of becoming seriously ill from the virus, it also protects those around you.

Gotta call my plug and ask him what he gave me to make me do this🤦🏽‍♂️
