The pandemic never really ended, media & corporations & politicians just preached "back to normal" for their own profit & power. Millions including children are still being infected & facing long-term disability from serious impacts of Covid. Mask up & demand treatment research!
This article really shows how deep the capitalist anti-mask, anti-health sentiment goes in the US.
“Embracing masks would mean admitting how dangerous wildfire smoke really is. That could lead to a cascade of expensive changes.”

So many things here. 1st: who tf goes to a concert w/ MEASLES?! 2nd: concerts are now super spreaders for MEASLES!! 3rd: did you know that measles hits the "factory reset" button on your immune system fully erasing your immunity to ANY infection you've EVER had/ been vaxxed for?
When someone with chronic illness says “I’m okay” it’s usually not the truth.
It’s just easier.
Saying the truth, that we’re exhausted, in pain, barely holding on, makes others uncomfortable.

So we say “I’m okay” even when we’re not.
COVID is the defining workers' rights issue of our time. Where is the left?
