“I don’t know anyone with Long Covid!”

I promise you that you do.

Long Covid is an invisible illness. You won’t know someone is impacted unless they choose to tell you.

Many folks hide their disabilities because the world is NOT kind to disabled people. Be an ally.

Bloomberg is catching on. Told u.

The cost of “mild” infection is a slow-motion lobotomy.

How many minds can we afford to lose before we forget what was lost?

Steph Fowler observes that mask wearers are:
- the least concerned about others' perceptions
- the most concerned about others/collective well-being
- committed to accepting & integrating data & new information - even when they want desperately to be wrong about what they learn.

If Bernie’s Social Security bill was enacted in 2021, Musk would have paid $2.9 billion more in taxes, Social Security would’ve been solvent for 75 years, benefits would’ve increased by $2,400 & 93% of Americans would have paid Zero more in taxes. The only one “entitled” is Musk.

"Ask any physical therapist and they'll tell you EVERYONE can exercise"

Yeah okay so my exercise is softly pressing my feet against the floor. Oh or standing with my back to the wall, putting a shirt behind my head, and softly pressing my head against it.

I literally survive because of Medicaid and SNAP.
Medicaid is the only option for people who are disabled and haven't been able to pay into Medicare at all.
If this passes people will DIE. Those of us who rely on Medicaid are already suffering. Now they're killing us.

Mask bans, even if passed, can no longer restrict me. 😎

I made a medical affidavit form which directly addresses all the wording in the mask ban bills/laws I found, brought it to my doctor, & had it signed+notarized!

Feel free to copy it, but look up your own diagnostic codes.

2020: This is scary but everyone is taking precautions.

2021: At least there's isolation guidance.

2022: At least there's masks in healthcare.

2023: Oh god.

2024: Can I at least keep my N95?

2025: Quad-demic. Hospitals at critical capacity, short staff. Still won't do masks.

[Matthew Chapman @fawfulfan]

This is absolutely insane.

If scientists aren't allowed to use the term "women" or "female" when applying for NSF grants, that basically rules out any human clinical trials of anything.

"Disability" is blacklisted too? There goes a lot of medical research.

@MxPunky elon musk literally says this in an article back in october too 😭

[Fred Wellman @FPWellman]

“Highly unusual.”
“Rarely used.”
“Unprecedented move.”

Illegal. They are illegal. They are dismantling our government and our rights. Why the fuck do unvetted, anonymous, non-clearance holding Musk employees have access to millions of Americans private information?

[Leah Greenberg says NO KINGS ❌👑 @Leahgreenb]

friendly reminder that the best case scenario over the coming years is that a lot of people say "I supported Trump but this isn't what I wanted at all" and when they do that it's gonna be really, really important that we say "welcome in," not "fuck you, we told you so"

[🥀_ Imposter_🖕 @Imposter_Edits]

Concerning! Actually frightening.

[Michal Tal, PhD @ImmunoFever]

All of the websites and databases that were built with YOUR tax dollars that are getting purged and dumped right now contained the product of many years of good research and many many millions of dollars that are simply being dumped down the drain.

[brittaney @BeeeCee]

Boeing told us that they don't care if we die in one of their plane crashes. Unalived 2 whistle blowers just to drive the point home. Delta single-handedly got the CDC to change their COVID guidelines so that you would still keep giving them money.

“Researchers from the Institute of Science Tokyo and Osaka Medical and Pharmaceutical University said that they have developed a peptide that can bind to the spike proteins of SARS-CoV-2 to prevent COVID-19 infections.” #LongCovid

We were warned. The similarities between HIV damage and COVID damage have been known for a few years.

Both deplete CD4 and CD8 immune cells.

It took 7 years to fully realize HIV caused AIDS. Initially, HIV caused flu-like symptoms, which resolved.
