Mild Covid-19 linked to structural brain changes and neuronal damage.

"Research shows that even mild cases of Covid-19 can lead to measurable brain damage and neurodegeneration, especially when cognitive symptoms such as memory decline persist after infection."

Not acknowledging World AIDS Day and engaging in COVID revisionism are straight from the eugenics playbook. One of the most effective ways of making people invisible is by erasing their history.

“The problem with Long COVID is that most of society would rather not see it.”

@philipandrewhoover.bsky.social writes that he often feels that he’s living a double life. How can this sick side of him be so central, so enormous, yet so unseen by those who know and love him? bit.ly/4pf80g7

It was six years ago today that a man in Wuhan, China began feeling ill.

He would become the first known COVID case.

Covid is still with us. It’s still killing and disabling.

Clean the air. Wear a mask. Get your boosters.

Public health is a social justice issue.

Facts.

The national stockpiles were never replenished after expiring, our surveillance systems have degraded to near dark, there is masking hesitancy and defiance, vaccines are becoming inaccessible, people are being kicked off healthcare, research has been gutted…

The list goes on…
6 years today the first COVID case was identified in a man in Wuhan marking the beginning of a global pandemic that changed the world. We are way less prepared today to face another pandemic than we were back then. This fact makes me sad.

Disabled people were one of the first groups targeted by the Nazis.

They coined the term “useless eaters”.

They tested the gas chambers on us.

They knew most people wouldn’t fight to save our lives.

That’s why the President using the R slur is so dangerous.

We’re not expendable

In a new leaked memo, the FDA outlined plans to make it much harder to get new vaccines approved, claiming, without sharing evidence, that the COVID vaccines have killed at least 10 children.

This is so reckless. The science shows us that COVID vaccines have saved millions of lives.

Call your elected officials. Get loud. Tell them you’re demanding public health leaders follow the science.

The science says that the COVID vaccine is not only safe, but it saves lives.

Long Covid has surpassed asthma as the most common chronic illness in children.

The kids deserve protection

It will always be insane that this didn’t just become standard practice.
Spain may bring back indoor face mask rules as flu and COVID cases surge. Health leaders will meet on Dec 3 to decide whether masks should again be required in hospitals, health centers, and possibly other crowded indoor venues like cinemas or theatres to help reduce transmission.

'Nunez’s narrator cites an unattributed author: “There are two kinds of people in the world: those who upon seeing someone else suffering think, That could happen to me, and those who think, That will never happen to me. The first kind of people help us to endure, the second kind make life hell.”'

Amazing analogy.

Just gotta top her off, the ol’ immunity. Keep her running nice through the season.

Ironically, the ideal number of times to get vaccinated for healthy people would also be 3-4 times a year.
“If vaccines work, why would you need a booster?” he asks as he changes his oil for the third time that year.

„Quiet, Piggy!“ Just think about that for a minute, and what it means to live in a time when a President can assault a woman in public like that without any consequences.
