“Only the vulnerable” shouldn’t be your “oh good. I get to ignore this” card.
It should be a 🚩that the state is attempting to train you to 1) believe you’re not vulnerable, which you are, and 2) normalize the abandonment and targeting of those currently most vulnerable.
People keep saying “did we learn nothing from Covid?” and what the ruling class learned is that the masses will happily engage in the politics of disposability when it comes to public health so here we are. Enjoy.
I had to spend an afternoon at the children’s hospital
A little boy, IV in hand, walking out of oncology in an N95.
His parents behind him, unmasked.
Something about that moment I can’t shake—the smallest person in the room holding the most responsibility for his own safety.
Cuba is experiencing nationwide blackouts, and clinicians have requested N95s. I will donate a dollar for every RT this gets in the next hour.
MAKE ME PAY.

What makes me sad seeing photos like this & of the NASA astronauts is, you must understand, these athletes didn’t just spontaneously all decide to mask. They’re being forced to mask bc richer ppl have a stake in their bodies & health. Their health has value. Yours doesn’t.
Taekwondoin @TinaSugandh and her black belt kids, who always compete in their masks, warn about #LongCOVID — why they support #MaskTogetherAmerica & @pubhealthaction. “This is for all that say you can't compete to your fullest potential at athletic events with a mask on.”
Respectfully @jonstewart, you were wrong on the @weeklyshowpod to mock people who mask. ICYMI: there are tens of millions of Americans who have been disabled by #LongCOVID and must do everything in their power to prevent further infections that make them vulnerable to further

I am convinced in the future we will look back and realise the sheer unimaginable folly of letting a virus that can cause immune dysregulation and cognitive dysfunction in humans infect and re-infect the global population over and over again. Worse still, that we encouraged it.
