"Even individuals who did not become seriously ill with COVID-19 may have developed a weakened immune system that could lead to serious illnesses in the future... The study also suggests that the coronavirus may worsen other illnesses."

The comments on her post are revealing, esp some that are generally supportive, bc they expose a lot of the blind spots about covid that we run into over & over among ppl who think of themselves as being pro-science, pro-vaccination, etc.

I mask in public still because no one has given me any convincing scientific evidence that getting repeat COVID infections is safe or sustainable for health, especially brain health 🧠

For all the covid realists still masking 😷: Next time I'm at a healthcare appt & request staff to mask, I want to say, "My family & I mask religiously in public spaces, & we're the only ppl we know IRL who, as far as I know, have never had covid (nor had any airborne illness for the past 6 yrs)."⬇️

I recently rewatched David Lynch's "Blue Velvet" after probably 20 years, & the first thing I thought during that initial scene with Frank Booth was how disturbingly similar he seemed to Donald Trump. Good to know I'm not the only one who's thought this... 🤮 thehardtimes.net/culture/trum...

"I don't know anyone who is getting covid anymore."

This isn't just a "cringe" attempt at humor- it's more propagandizing to downplay the widespread harms of covid, which are STILL happening. The billionaires lose $$ when ppl don't travel, eat out, etc. It was the AIRLINES- not science- that initially drove the effort to fully open things back up.

This Cointelpro-Os cereal box makes a good point that's also relevant for our current US situation: "Disinformation is widely used by dictators and fascist regimes, but it can also be turned back around on them, sowing chaos, distrust and the collapse of the totalitarian state." Food for thought.

Not only was Mayor Frey's use of the F word excusable, it was APPROPRIATE, precisely for the same reasons it's normally considered impolite: it's shocking & can convey intense negativity. His use of it signaled anger, contempt, & an unwillingness to "play nice" with government-sanctioned murderers.

Biden: So, folks, that's my message to all of us today, to all who love our country, to all of us are dismayed by the present state of the union: it's time to get up, get up and fight back. Get up. Continue to fight. What's the fight all about? Protecting the constitution.

Covid is STILL circulating & causing harm to our brains, hearts, kidneys, etc. The vax- though imp't for reducing severity of acute illness- does NOT prevent infection, transmission, or the long-term damage done by this virus. Btw, asymptomatic cases (~half!) ARE contagious & also cause damage.

World Health Network@thewhn.bsky.social · 8mo ago

COVID isn’t acting like the viruses most of us grew up with, and treating it like “just a cold” is putting people at real risk. David Brasure breaks down why SARS-CoV-2 is fundamentally different, how it causes long-term damage, and what we can do to protect ourselves.

I sincerely appreciate Alt CDC (& all altgov accounts), but a lot of good people- including scientists & healthcare providers- have bought into the false claim that covid is nbd, esp. if you're vaxxed, despite science showing us that's not true. The cognitive dissonance is absolutely maddening.

EvolutionaryEve@evolutionaryeve.bsky.social · 9mo ago

When are all the "I believe the science" folks going to actually follow the science on covid? Science tells us covid cont to seriously damage the brain, heart, & pretty much every body system, even in young, healthy, vaccinated ppl. MASKS WORK & should be modeled by those claiming to be pro-science.
