First it was: But kids don’t get Covid

Then:

Ok but it’s mild ❌

Ok but kids aren’t hospitalised ❌

Ok but kids won’t get long-term health issues ❌

Ok but kids won’t die ❌

😡💔👇

As the high-profile heart attack deaths continue, remember:

“The spikes in heart attack deaths have tracked with surges of COVID infection—even during Omicron…The data showed the increase was most significant among individuals ages 25-44…” https://t.co/3xqjUIYIZq

Reminder for whenever you hear the term “personal carbon footprint”

[Jerome Adams @JeromeAdamsMD]

So you are 96% likely to walk/sit by/ breathe the air of someone infected while flying. You can choose to rely only on air filtration (which helps on a running plane- NOT in TSA, boarding, etc), but this ends debate on utility of N95 use during air travel. https://t.co/lQZef2RQJf

"the secret scientists don't want you to know!!" Dude have you ever met a single scientist? My scientist friends are desperate for me to know about the changing mating habits of Brown marmorated stink bugs. They're screaming at the top of their lungs to tell you EVERYTHING.

I want to engage this question earnestly, b/c it’s a legit question. The answer is yes, I do look at left, too.

Left-wing activists are responsible for 2% of murders committed by political extremists in the US over the past decade; right-wing activists are responsible for 74%.

In theory, we knew repeated COVID reinfections were bad, but a study out today in @Nature of 5.8 million people shows that each reinfection significantly increases the risks of complications, like diabetes and kidney problems, hospitalizations and death.

„Given that “mental” disorders are named for, and defined by, their subjective mental qualities, it is perhaps not surprising, in retrospect, that treatments that have sidelined mental qualities have not been especially effective…“ https://t.co/B5aNltLaCJ

I keep thinking about this headline.

In May 2020 100,000 deaths was an incalculable loss.

Yet we have now lost nearly 400,000 people to COVID in the US over the last year (Sep 2021 to Sep 2022), & "the pandemic is over."

This is what the normalization of mass death looks like.

If caregivers are wearing masks, does that harm kids’ language development? No. There is no evidence of this. And we know even visually impaired children develop speech and language at the same rate as their peers.
