"Life-span altering vascular disease," is very possibly the most accurate description I've seen.

Respirator masks like N95s will prevent hantavirus infection.

Clean air will drastically reduce hantavirus spread.

We already have the tools, people just need to use them.

Public health requires everyone’s participation.

“You do you” gets people killed.

This is the part people don’t understand. Those of us trying to avoid covid aren’t “afraid of a cold.”

It’s the downstream heart problems, immune and cognitive dysfunction, cancers, etc. we don’t want.

This is what people mean when they say that poverty is systemic and a class issue, and not because of personal choices.

[covid is oncogenic @chaitrovert]

reminder that around this point in the aids crisis, the cdc was saying most ppl who contract hiv probably won't develop aids. but they must be totally telling the truth now about only a minority of ppl going on to develop severe long covid 😂

they'll put a woman in prison for a miscarriage but you can state your intent to let your kids die from a preventable disease and its fine

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

Remember when Trump promised to "end inflation?"

Well, instead, you got a President who is directly responsible for driving up inflation—all thanks to a war he didn't have to start and tariffs no one wanted.

It will never make sense to me that so many people are not making an effort to prevent being reinfected by a virus that keeps being linked to neurodegeneration.

A mask is slightly inconvenient. Neurodegeneration is very inconvenient.

Mother "is begging" to self deport so she can see her child again—ICE refuses.

Separated 4 months now from her 2 year old son—he was sent back to Colombia.

"Why are they detaining people who sign deportation papers?"

"Because that's how they make money—that is their business."

ICE denied her paperwork to be deported to Colombia.

Will only agree to deport her to a third country—where her son is not living.

Heidy Johana Rave Salazar's 2 year old son depends on a medical treatment to survive.

She is desperately asking to be deported so she can help him—but remains locked up at the Adelanto ICE Processing Center in California.

WAIT these things are using up HELIUM? The finite resource we need to operate MRI MACHINES?!?!?!

Burn it all down.

@Tazerface16 I have yet to find a way to explain it without sounding crazy—the shock approaches, it’s just out there in empty shipping lanes on the water, trailing the last ship that left FIVE WEEKS AGO. It can’t be undone.

There were Chinese studies early in the year in 2020 February that said that covid hung in the air and was passed on to someone on a bus 30 mins after the infectious person left

I acted accordingly, the government did not and are still not

[Street Medic @RndmStreetMedic]

We've been asking for this since 2020 and yet, the best we get is individualistic solutions "if you want clean air, you can just mask" followed by the stigmatization of masking.

The United States has prosecuted 412 WOMEN for pregnancy related matters,
but NOT A SINGLE MAN for abusing woman and children connected to the Epstein files.

[Cat Herding Science Nerd 🔬 @catladyactivist]

My Gen Z had screens. Also...a gifted IEP, read at college level by grade 5, 32 ACT score, accepted to first choice university, multiple school sports.

Then had Covid multiple times from school. Now has brain fog, aortopathy, chronic pain, and had to leave college.

It's Covid.

Photo of indoor air filter used in a home in Imperial Beach. House is on the beach and nearly 3 miles from major freeway. This is after 4 months. Disgusting...but better trapped on this surface than your lungs? All homes/schools should use filtration all the time. We filter our water before we drink it....why not filter the air we breathe..Reduce carcinogens, toxic compounds, airborne pathogens. Common sense. Just do it.

so it turns out if you shoot missiles at the country that controls The Straight Where We Ship Everything, it becomes very expensive to ship everything. Follow me for more hard-hitting geopolitical insights.

[Tricia Dearborn @TriciaDearborn]

The water we drink is highly regulated (so we don't catch e.g. cholera from it). The food we eat is highly regulated (so we don't catch e.g. salmonella from it).
Indoor air in public spaces – from which we can catch e.g. Covid, flu, measles, RSV – is NOT regulated. It needs to be

[Briana Mills, LMFT ♿️🏳️‍🌈🍉 @theBrianaMills]

Masking is a disability rights issue. Anywhere that you’re refusing to wear a mask and able to, you’re saying high risk and disabled people don’t deserve to be in those spaces. Many of us have been abandoned and dismissed these past seven years because most refused to include us.
