Dear new followers, thank you for following me but be warned: It’ll mostly be (sometimes profanity-laden) covid-awareness posts here.
I *will* try to post some art from time to time though.

Many get sick while traveling.

One major reason is they don’t realize mass transit is high risk because airline CEOs lied about viral spread early in the pandemic and lobbied the CDC to lower precautions.

To make the most of your holiday, take precautions like wearing a mask when you travel!

Yes. And it pisses me off.
Did you know our government under the Biden administration allowed a CEO to basically dictate a public health policy that has likely played an important role in your or a loved one’s long term health? It’s true, sadly. #COVID

From the infect 'em and study 'em files

Children who started K in 2025 in BC were born in Jan to Dec 2020.

I'm guessing min 5 COVID infections each?

Sure, lack of 1° care and assessment waits don't help.

But ...

This is wild.
Yes, collectively, we are sicker than we used to be. It’s not your imagination.
4/ We are more sick from EVERYTHING.

These charts are stunning. No freakin' wonder healthcare is strained, workplace and school absences are up, etc.

Holy hell, this is all AIRBORNE. #MaskUp FFS. @doctorsofbc.bsky.social - are you trying to kill us?!

The fact that there’s a good chance we’re gonna have a green Christmas after such a frigid, snowy November/December is kinda bullshit.

We could stamp out the flu this season but ew, no… masks? The trauma of masking is too much, apparently.
When we had society wide covid mitigations, we eliminated an entire strain of flu.

Now we’re in the “you do you” era and seeing an aggressive and early start to flu season.

Three children in Ottawa have died.

Wear a mask, ideally an N95. Get your vaccines. Clean the air. Stay home when sick:

It’s so fucking hard to insist on, or argue for, any precautions now.
No one is willing to suffer even the most minor inconvenience.
I’m so done with this stupidity.

Of all the problems this country has, this slow slide into privatized healthcare maybe concerns me the most.
December 8, 2025 at 4:46 PM
Gosh, if only there was some sort of effective mitigation for the flu.
Oh well. Everyone just has to get sick, I guess.

I dunno gang. I think it's important to keep re-infecting the population with COVID, especially the now largely unvaccinated children, to get more data.

“SARS-CoV-2 causes lasting immune dysregulation for over 20 months.”

Hey Siri, on average, how many COVID infections does a person have yearly? Do the math.

(Just kidding, Siri doesn’t like answering questions about COVID)

There's an inconvenient truth for public health leaders who insisted COVID doesn't spread in schools.

I mean, not too inconvenient. It's not like there are any standards of professional conduct.

Is killing people out of sheer incompetence embarrassing? Or is it too normalized now?

Oh my fuck. Hahahaha.
Yes. That’s what we need.
A Freedumb Convoy holiday.

That said, we’ve caved on pretty much everything else they wanted. 😐
No masks, no mitigation, fewer vaccinations, etc. Why stop there?
If you saw my face just now, every swear word I know came flying out WTF 🤬 🤯
