This is why I've been listening to covid aware twitter & continuing to take precautions. The cycle seems to be:
1) hmm something weird is happening
2) accusations of fear-mongering if anyone suggests maybe covid
3) lots of time passes
4) study confirms it was covid; MSM is quiet
The US has messed up its COVID booster rollout. People are cancelling vaccine appointments or are wrongfully being charged because of insurance issues. This is unacceptable. Vaccines should be free regardless of your insurance status. https://t.co/0QNo9SibN0
UPDATE: Mask requirements have been reinstated in hospitals in Illinois, Massachusetts, and New Jersey. Hospitals in several other states including North Carolina and Washington are also considering reinstating their mask requirements due to the rise in COVID-19 cases.
so sad that @air99_llc is ending production. Some of my fave masks, proof that masks can be comfortable, look cool, and be highly protective. The US government had a chance to support US based companies and strengthen supply chains, but instead chose to deny that #CovidIsAirborne
One of the weirdest antivax/covid denialist claims is that COVID is somehow "just a flu" or that its no deadlier than a flu. This is so ridiculously and easily disprovable that it should only be met with a single response: "nah"
@kprather88 Thank you Dr. Prather! It's so hard to want to continue to try to hold our institutions accountable when they fail again and again. your advocacy and accountability work is so important.
This wasn't talked about enough. In late August, covid ED visits reached an all-pandemic high for 0-15 year olds. Covid ED visits for 0-15 year olds even surpassed those for 75+ and all other age groups for that matter. Alarming.
99.9% of Children around the world: wear a mask when necessary without significant issue whatsoever and enjoy their life without significant complaint
Martin Kulldorff: seeing a child wear a mask is the absolute worst thing I've ever seen in this whole pandemic #laptopclass
