it would make a significant difference (especially in a covid surge like right now) if people mask on public transit and flights, in airports, grocery stores, pharmacies, hospitals, and doctors offices at least
After hundreds of medical researchers, doctors, journalists and others signed a letter debunking the reactionary bullshit in this article, Shure was never hired by the New Republic again.
Wrote about it for @FAIRmediawatch

"nonimmunocompromised baby"
babies' immune systems are brand new and need strengthening (via increase in appropriate nutrients, appropriate vaccinations, protection from certain environments, etc.) not pathogenic infections that attack & weaken immune systems
i hate the word deconditioning I’m sorry. Hate it hate it hate it. I know it’s a thing but having a rheumatologist tell me my pain was deconditioning when it started the day I tested positive (one day of no gym after going 3-5x per week for years!) was… infuriating
@reluctantlyjoe@GunLuigi@gring0deja39737@alekhines_gun nah everyone catches Omicron’s babies way more than the og strains so even though the latter had a high change of LC per infection, the disease burden remains higher than most ppl are aware of
@sharkrado I love all these little posts about thinking yourself healthy that are clearly designed to undermine people with LC :( disappointing to see. Not saying there’s zero value in that but funny how they’re all popping up now
