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.

You know #Measles is #Airborne, @cmadocs.bsky.social ?
Maybe get off your high horse & address your own complicity in ignoring an #OngoingPandemic, now in its 6th year, of another airborne virus.
For the record, you have NO idea how disappointed 🇨🇦 Canadians are in unmasked doctors, right now -

The CMA is disappointed and deeply concerned that Canada has lost its #measles elimination status from the Pan American Health Organization. We echo the Public Health Agency of Canada: the measles vaccine is the best way to protect you and your family.
Let's work together to keep measles at bay.

That the virus was more dangerous than the vaccine was pretty clear 4.5 years ago, though an enormous propaganda machine led by our current medical establishment claimed otherwise.

I’m fortunate to have two teenagers who (miraculously) are still vigilant, but other parent is the weak link, caution-wise. Ready to go full rhino.

Living with Long COVID often feels like living in a horror movie. Along with your disease comes a creepy Hive Mind refusal to acknowledge the dangers of COVID infection. In Vince Gilligan's new Apple TV show Pluribus, the Hive Mind comes to life:

With regards to measles, the solution is simple. Vaccination.
With COVID, large science and public health accounts would have to start with admitting they were wrong.

Large science & public health accounts are sounding alarms over Canada losing measles-elimination status - good.
But the silence from them on long COVID has been striking.
Building trust as an infectious disease expert should mean caring about preventing all viral-induced illness

Those who minimized the impacts of COVID-19 would go on to minimize every other disease if rewarded for it. Big round of applause to Leana Wen, Ashish Jha, Zeynep Tufekci, and every other liberal who endorsed Marty Makary for FDA Commissioner! You really nailed it!
Makary just spewed disinformation about dementia, heart, disease, and many other things

Never forget that the airlines were instrumental in reducing the Covid isolation requirements and paid time off.
Why? It was hurting their profits.
They were about to lose money again due to the shutdown… so the Dems caved.
Medicaid & ACA will be gone to keep airlines happy.
Profit over people.

Great thread here on navigating COVID as a parent as well as the media’s complicity in mass infection.
The CBC has been hugely disappointing throughout the pandemic. (Looking at you, Ian Hanomansing and buddy Bogoch).

I get that the vax helps to blunt the acute stage of COVID infection. It may also help slightly in avoiding long COVID.
But we know it doesn’t prevent infection & that damage is cumulative, even if symptoms are mild, & increases LC risk.
A vax-only approach is just another form of denial.
