While the world was about to lose millions of people, was about to disable millions of people, the WHO upgraded their entire ventilation system for their staff.
Imagine if they informed the world that this was AIRBORNE from the start.

They always knew it was

Covid-19 leaves its mark on the brain.

Many folks are pushing to go “back to normal” because they’re upset that their lives were upended in early days of Covid pandemic. I get it. My life was upended when I became disabled. But here’s the thing - “normal” isn’t working. It’s a mirage. 🧵 on denial & false ‘normal’ /1

I don't know how to say this in a way that gets through to people.

Why can't people understand that ANY covid infection reaches EVERY part of your body, even if you're vaccinated or previously Infected.
And that if it reaches EVERY part of your body, it can screw up ANY part of your body.

COVID anxiety is not an actual illness. Yes, you can become anxious from not wanting to get COVID, but anxiety disorders are from irrational anxiety. It’s completely understandable to be anxious about contracting the third leading cause of death in the US.

[Uros @UrosZiv]

Covid isn't about symptoms – it's about *how often and to what viral load* you're exposed

There's no longterm immunity against it and vascular, neurological and immune-disruptive effects on your body are *cumulative*

Vax, ventilate, mask, test

It's not flu, it's SARS 2

[Dr. Lisa Iannattone @lisa_iannattone]

It’s not the lockdowns, it’s the covid. Covid damages immune systems. Catching covid makes people more susceptible to catching other infections. Immunity theft, not immunity debt. A thread of evidence:

❗️“Here, we noted grey matter alterations in both patients with long-COVID and those unimpaired after a COVID-19 infection"
➡️ Not the news we wanted to hear....brain alterations in NON-LC 😬😬

@1goodtern My incredible daughter, 14, still masks. The kids don’t care, however she has had grief from TEACHERS. One looked her in the eye and said “Covid isn’t a thing anymore” during an assembly about poor attendance rates. She has 100% attendance. The irony appears lost on them…

[tern @1goodtern]

Your body is not a collection of organs, it's a collection of processes, and those processes are collections of complicated chemicals making more complicated chemicals.

Covid upsets your body's ability to make the right amount of the right complicated chemicals, especially the ones that make your blood do the things it's supposed to do.
(and blood does a lot of things)

Every time I say the brain injury from #COVID is putting us in danger, I get angry comments. Face reality. I was unfit to drive for months post-Omicron because of what it did to my brain. I got lost going familiar places, reacted slower, totally missed important things. #MaskUp

[Jess @MeetJess]

Imagine if all celebrities made a statement and modeled safe behaviors like Wil Wheaton and his wife.

We need more of this 👏🏻🩷🩵

[Keith @keetmuise]

People keep asking me why I’m still wearing masks? Why my family is still wearing masks?

Well the quick answer is that there’s record numbers of Covid infections all over the country, and we don’t like being sick.

B.C. COVID-19 hospitalizations up 58 per cent in two weeks, as infections, deaths also spike https://t.co/D0XUU2mzv5

New paper showing that T cells post-COVID can attack antigens in the liver. This could be one of the causes of pediatric hepatitis of unknown etiology. Really important to study this in cases- unfortunately this hypothesis was never investigated properly

So basically what we are witnessing is everyone becoming disabled, one by one. The Not Yet Disabled criticize and analyze the Recently Disabled to determine whether they deserve it, while the Not Yet Disabled pretend they aren’t going to be next as they carry on living normally.
