Follower of Vorsorgeprinzip (The Precautionary Principle). SARS-CoV-2 is still here. Keep your respirators on 😷 to protect yourself & others. #CleanTheAir
@broadwaybabyto So true, @broadwaybabyto.
Curious if anyone has ideas on how to set these firm boundaries to protect ourselves from our gaslighting HCPs.
Does anyone still know HCPs that are intentional about protecting patients? Who WANT to wear #N95’s & #cleantheair?

The complacency to let, and I would argue encourage, immunocompromised and otherwise vulnerable people to die can be called nothing else but eugenics.
Especially when it's so preventable, with cheap, simple measures.
Alice Wong had a breathing tube and could not mask.
She also couldn't skip in-person visits due to her conditions.
She would ask doctors to mask, and was told "We don't do that anymore."
She ultimately died of "an infection" while at the hospital while COVID is surging again.
Watch @tomhanks on @StephenAtHome showing he knows cvd is airborne; present in crowded indoor spaces; & best avoided with a respirator:
“I cannot get sick…
I’ve had cvd enough in my life, I don’t need to do that again
So I’m wearing this (respirator) for health reasons”
💯 Masking is a good litmus test for many things you'd want in a partner
-science literacy
-intelligence
-empathy
-community minded
-values health > conformity
-weirdly super cool
...living your values in spite of the world spitting and spinning on by. This might be the hardest thing, and you have my deepest thanks and admiration. Thank you for keeping us safer. #COVID#COVID_19#MaskUp#healthcare#MentalHealthMatters
The thing I'm proudest of being is covid safe and all that represents. It is unfathomable that the part of myself I'm the proudest of is unrecognised/dismissed/disparaged by almost everyone in my life. If this rings true for you, know I'M proud of you, I see you...
"if covid was so bad wouldn't doctors care?"
It takes on average ≈17 years for breaking scientific research to enter the zeitgeist of mainstream understanding, including healthcare providers.
My video explains why YOU should care about covid even when your doctor doesn't.
A new study was just peer reviewed. Nice to see that #Novavax demonstrates nasal and salivary effects of a sterilizing vaccine!
“Novavax's ability to protect you offers a level of protection different from that of other vaccines, to the point that they had to create a new test”
At medical school we were told infections had been defeated: antibiotics, and self-limiting viruses
My echo today showed my #COVID_19 heart failure is now "severe" (EF32%) following sepsis
My death certificate will say heart failure, but it's infections that will have killed me
Traveling soon? Stay protected during the COVID-19 surge by wearing a high-quality mask in crowded or indoor spaces like an N95, KN95 or KF94. Learn more: https://t.co/UqPYkNWTXM
Wearing a mask is an act of resistance.
Protecting your health and the health of those around you is community care.
Refusing to accept the government narrative of “back to normal” is a way of fighting back.
A good mask like an N95 is an excellent public health tool!
🚨 Research Alert 🚨
SARS-CoV-2 aerosols may remain in the air for up to 5 hours after a hospital room turnover, highlighting the need for stronger infection prevention measures.
🏥 This study underscores the importance of ventilation, PPE and air quality controls to protect healthcare workers and patients.

You scream “SHEEP!”, fake cough on us, say we’re complying; but sugar plumb, when every administration blatantly lied about the dangers of a neurovascular virus that has killed more people in 5 years than AIDS has in FORTY & disabling young healthy people daily -and you gleefully threw off your mask - guess what? YOU are the establishment.
Had school pictures today and had to fight with Admin and the photographer about keeping my mask on.
I will not risk my health for your comfort. Fuck you.
“It’s not healthy to isolate yourself away from society”
Society is asking that I repeatedly let myself get infected with Covid. Society is asking that I take on injury. This society right now is demanding blood. The absolute healthiest thing you can do is to stay the fuck away.
