Got three cases of respirators out into the world today.

Hopefully they actually make it on to people.

If anyone in LA needs respirators, I have 10k respirators and can deliver between LA and Huntington.

Trying to line it up like today where I can drop with a series of people.

[Kelly @broadwaybabyto]

That’s why people like myself continue to advocate for the use of high quality respirators. We understand how painful it is to realize it’s “too late”

To know that your health is gone and you will spend the rest of your life chronically ill - and it was preventable /3

I encourage everyone to watch @MattMcGorry’s latest Long Covid video. He nails so many salient points - including this:

The pandemic was traumatizing for everyone. Of course we want to believe it’s over. But it’s not - and avoiding dealing with that reality? It’s costing lives.

With a depleted immune system, my oncologist said long Covid either caused or exacerbated my stage IV cancer, and 20% of cancers are viral-based.

We did it folks...

If you have received a single Novavax shot, you can receive an additional one to complete the series.

It's not perfect, but just like I acknowledged in the write up... this is going to take years to get the wording perfect.

But this is game changing.

Plus, they did pretty much exactly what we asked for.

What's so stunning to me is that we have some data about how many people are disabled, permanently out of work, and continuing to struggle with long COVID. And people are still like "its not that many people." 1/9

[Sara Anne Willette ♿️🌈👩🏻‍💻𓅆 @amethystarlight]

Dear “I have to live my life.” People,

You’re “living your life” with permanent organ damage. You will eventually become unable to “live your life” and become disabled like we are, only to be told by slightly-more-abled people that they need to “live their lives.”

You’re not special. You’re not immune to disability. You’re just not disabled right now. Just wait. #CircleOfDeathAndDisability

[Kelly @broadwaybabyto]

Every day I become more convinced that the blame laid on disabled people for not “getting better” stems from fear.

Its easier to believe we’re not trying hard enough - or not taking care of ourselves - than to recognize health is NOT a guarantee. You can lose it at ANY time

The first mask ban was 2010. Workers cleaning oil in the aftermath of BP's spill were forbidden from using PPE. BP didn't want workers' masked faces telling the world it was toxic waste in the sand. Every aspect of the response to the gas explosion (and covid) reminds me of that.

[Kelly @broadwaybabyto]

It’s why mask bans are dangerous. Police aren’t trained to make medical decisions. They shouldn’t be the ones deciding who can and can’t legally wear a mask.

Many illnesses are invisible - you wouldn’t KNOW we’re disabled to look at us. /2

[Kelly @broadwaybabyto]

“I’m not testing for Covid. If I’m sick I’m sick. What difference does it make?”

It makes a big difference. You SHOULD be testing. There’s things you should do differently if it’s Covid.

Governments & public health aren’t informing you - but that doesn’t change reality 🧵/1

[B. @verygoodchat]

History has taught us that early doctors resisted handwashing because it made them look like THEY were getting their patients sick (they were). Go figure doctors today don’t like it when we know more about COVID-19 than they do, & we tell them they’re getting us sick (they are).

[Dr Elisa Perego @elisaperego78]

Newspaper reports a 66% increase in heart attack cases in 18-44 year-old Americans "in just four years".
I strongly suggest —as the article does at one point— to look at Covid/LC, the cardiovascular effects of which have been documented since 2020

C0VlD has killed 38x more people than the flu this year so far.

As I have said over and over, C0VlD is not the flu. It is 20-40x more deadly and also is much more disabling.
