@oniblackstock.bsky.social I know you’re not on Twitter anymore, but this paper came out a few days ago & I’m very interested in your perspective. I find that the title was designed to be inflammatory & actually detracts from the important information in the article

COVID-19 is “Airborne AIDS”: provocative oversimplification, emerging science, or something in between?

As Alice Wong says in the Introduction to Disability Visibility: "Staying alive is a lot of work for a disabled person in an ableist society."

Remember in 2020-2021, when as a society, we collectively eliminated a strain of influenza (B/Yamagata) due to multilayered protections widely implemented for COVID? So much so that it was removed from the annual flu vaccine? Good times. 😷
“Levels of influenza nationwide are now at the highest they have been since the peak of the 2009 swine flu pandemic, according to figures published Friday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, amid this winter's second wave of the virus.”

Five years ago I got sick and I never got better. Today is the anniversary of when the neuro symptoms began causing me to be hospitalized for 5 days. Little did I know of how much worse it could and would get. Chronic illness anniversaries are complicated.

The US has messed up its COVID booster rollout. People are cancelling vaccine appointments or are wrongfully being charged because of insurance issues. This is unacceptable. Vaccines should be free regardless of your insurance status.
