@hjelle_brian This is my bro, Pete, who died of Covid yesterday, 61, fully vaxxed and immune compromised and a grocery clerk. Co-workers came back too soon from quarantine, coughing, because they needed to work. No paid time off. Customers coughing. Masks on chin. Do better, USA, do better.

Name another virus that infects people repeatedly, as often as every few months, at any time of year, with increasingly well recognized long-term impacts. And yet, so many experts are working hard to convince us that this is just the way it is.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

���🚨🚨Holy shit: A father of a child who was killed in the Uvalde school shooting SLAMMED Texas legislators for their “useless thoughts and prayers.”

Brett Cross boldly testified in front of a Texas House committee in support of legislation that would raise the minimum age to buy semi-automatic weapons from 18 to 21.

Brett Cross: “I'm so sick of hearing those three words from our elected officials…

While your prayers may have comforted you, they did nothing to absolve our pain...

Your thoughts and prayers didn't stop an 18 year old from purchasing two high powered semi automatic rifles and all of those rounds of ammunition.

Your thoughts and prayers didn't stop us from having to bury our children and two teachers.

Your thoughts and prayers haven't done anything in the 329 days since Uziel was shot through his stomach exiting his spine.

Your thoughts and prayers are useless unless you have thought and prayed for legislation that you can help enact that could change this.”

Thank you so much to Brett Cross and these BRAVE parents for speaking out!

@GosiaGasperoPhD The @HeartandStroke Foundation is sounding the alarm 🚨

What will our provincial, territorial and federal government do to help protect the public from these preventable acute and chronic health consequences?

It's not time to take off masks in healthcare settings.

Talk about mixed messaging. On one hand, the WHO sends the biggest possible signal to stop worrying, and then later says we still need to worry!

This is very typical of an agency that has repeatedly failed to rise up to these challenges.

When this all started, they could have rallied the world to counter the disease with real airborne precautions, stuff we’ve known since SARS1, focusing on the quality of indoor air. And people would have listened… we could have avoided lockdowns, people could have seen their relatives safely in hospital, businesses could have stayed safely open, and trillions of dollars in economic output saved, and we would have had enduring protection against future respiratory pandemics.

Instead, a few entrenched figures with careers to protect, kept any action from being taken and here we are today. Instead of ventilation upgrades we got ‘6 foot distancing’ Plexiglas and millions of gallons of hand sanitizer. This outdated guidance is still pushed by some authorities even to this day!

Except for a few Asian countries, no one has been about to spell out exactly how to live this new reality, between absolute panic, and absolute denial. The topic has become taboo, that even mentioning the word here will get this post off the algorithmic feed.

Now we have the worst of all worlds; we watch our life expectancy numbers plummet, our elderly and vulnerable facing a good chance of disability or death literally every time they get infected, and everyone else facing a decent chance at disability each time, and all we have is an antiviral which is hard to get, and a vaccine that barely works to prevent infection.

This sh*t needs to be made into a movie.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

I have yet to hear a real explanation from any official hesitating to condemn the killing of Jordan Neely about what makes condemning this violence so “complicated.”

Killing is wrong. Killing the poor is wrong. Killing the mentally ill is wrong. Why is that so hard to say?

None of this is complex:
Is C19 dangerous? Yes
Is it caught mainly via inhaling infectious aerosols? Yes
Should we be lowering transmissions? Yes
Do well-fitting N95s help protect & reduce spread? Yes
Does air filtration & ventilation help? Yes
It's pretty simple.
Why ignore it?

Would you celebrate getting rid of ramps into buildings?

No?

Then don't celebrate the removal of masks.

Ramps = access
Masks = access

Celebrating their removal = celebrating the removal of disabled people existing in public

"New York Times is not alone...The New Yorker, The Washington Post, and NPR, to name just a few, have amplified voices and arguments that helped create a narrative that not only pathologizes those who remain cautious about the disease..."

I still don't understand how getting masks back in hospitals and other healthcare settings isn't a top priority for every healthcare worker, union, and politician out there right now. We should be protecting ALL people from ALL airborne illnesses in hospitals. Full stop.

Republicans think that they won last night.
They did NOT win!

Here's a video of a 'Covenant Mom' embracing expelled Tennessee Rep. Justin Pearson.

- Make sure this video goes viral.
- Make sure everyone knows what this man stood for and what Republicans stood against.
- Make sure you never forget what happened last night in Tennessee and 9 days ago in Nashville!

THANK YOU Tennessee Three!
