You can eat all organic food, drink green juice every day, do yoga, get vitamin D and touch grass… and still become disabled.
Wellness culture can’t save you from disability. What’s worse, most wellness “gurus” will blame you when you become ill.
Wellness culture is toxic & eugenics adjacent.

I (still) imagine a future where the water runs clear, children are safe, the oceans are full of life, we stabilize and draw down greenhouse gases, peace is common, conflict is generative, and the many and fluid ways of living/being human all have the space to flourish, on and on into the future

The most spectacular use of the word “most” to minimise a disease that persisted at two years in 30% of all kids that had symptoms at three months.
That is a massive number of kids *not recovered*.

It's all about framing. This Guardian piece's headline is perfectly correct. But here is an eq. correct alternative:

Which one leads readers to view LC as less harmful?

If we’re going to do a sixth year of “you do you” Covid denial - we need to start having tough conversations with people.
Do they realize they’ve likely harmed another individual? That someone may have died or been left disabled by their refusal to acknowledge severity of Covid?
