“We’re facing a population with weakened immune systems that resist adhering to pandemic controls. That’s not a good foundation for dealing with bird flu and other potential pandemics.” 🚨 ⏰ tick tock

We absolutely can do better - but it starts with acknowledging there’s a threat and pushing back on people who don’t care just because they believe it doesn’t impact them. I see people advocating & pushing back every day - and I believe together we will turn the tide. /end

Yet another way the media is normalizing fascism is with these ridiculous “navigating difficult conversations” genre of story. On the day an anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist has been nominated to run Health & Human Services, we get trite articles like this. Smh

In a nutshell, NO.

Covid infection increases risk of injury across virtually all body systems, including increased risk of heart attack, stroke, diabetes, fatigue, cognitive decline
No, it does not “boost” your immunity
At this point, it’s malpractice considering the mountain of biomedical evidence

Dr. Bonnie Henry earlier today:
"If you've had covid recently, you've had a boost to your immunity. So that's a good thing."
No, Dr. Henry, getting covid is NEVER a good thing. It won't help or improve your immune system. Your immune system isn't a muscle, and covid isn't the flu.

A Plea to Maskless Healthcare Workers from Vulnerable Patients
If you see a mask - wear a mask. Better yet - wear a mask all the time and show us you understand that we're still IN a pandemic. We are depending on you to keep us safe - please don't betray that.
