A recent WSJ editorial has once again focused the ire of the far right on Barrett faculty for speaking up about the public programming of our own college. My colleagues @prof_jdb, Michael Ostling and I respond in this op ed: https://t.co/03579XAGSg
Scientists: Covid is a disease of the blood vessels. The spike protein travels around the body entering all organs including the brain, able to do irreparable and fatal harm. Unlike common cold coronaviruses or flu, the spike protein persists in your body, doing harm.

Great piece - if you’ve been considering joining @UCWArizona, read this for a sense of where our organizing model comes from and what it can accomplish
Why would the (contingent) Barrett faculty debate a tenured professor who accuses them of anti-intellectualism while misrepresenting their letter, which advocates neither censorship nor “to stop conversations from speaking on campus” [sic]?
More of the anti-intellectual tactics. Don’t deal with the subject just dish out insults. My challenge stands: meet me in public debate and bring your ideas into the light.

“As long as COVID-19 is killing 1000s of people a week & causing many more to develop long COVID, institutions owe it to their communities to minimize our risks of getting sick. It’s an equity issue, a public health issue, & a disability rights issue.”

Please read this article.👇
@ASU’s COVID policies have never taken the risks of #LongCovid into account. What would a *true* community of care — that centers equity — look like when it comes to managing this virus and its effects?
Hmm, @michaelcrow ?

Updated Moderna & Pfizer boosters are:
-effective against the original & new strains of COVID
-up to 20x more effective against current dominant variants
-appropriate 2+ months after your most recent dose & as soon as you've recovered from a case of COVID
-available THIS WEEK
Meanwhile, our admins at #ASU are basically pretending COVID isn’t a real thing anymore instead of promoting basic public health measures to help us all stay healthy… 🤦
Us too. As many times as it take until we win College For All
We know Congress doesn't want to do it. The only way to break them is to give them a choice: fix the problem for real or keep cancelling the debt in ever larger amounts
They will crack. We will win.
@michaelcrow@ASUPresOffice Honestly, not so great. Packed classrooms w/out COVID precautions = a lot of us are going to get sick in the next few weeks. & not everbody has an easy case, even if vaxxed. Statistically, ~5-20% of us could get long COVID after infection.
It feels like you’ve abandoned us.
@ASU president @michaelcrow
called COVID endemic in his video message to faculty and staff yesterday. It’s clear his admin is using this as an excuse to no longer require basic precautions, like masks in shared indoor spaces.
Here is why that’s a problem 👇
I've been in public health for 22 years. I've advocated and created programs geared towards meeting people where they are.
A major difference is the goal was always to assist them in moving from where they are to where optimal health is, not to acceptance of subpar health.
