The unfiltered truth about the misguided hopium that “back to normal” is riding on. Well worth reading the whole thread.
The devastating irony that will become painfully apparent when things get really bad, much worse than they are now, is that many people are basing their decision to ignore the reality of Covid19 on the idea that science, medicine, doctors, and scientists will bail us out when we need it.

We’re five years into the pandemic, and the science is telling a very different story than “just a cold.” COVID affects blood vessels, organs, metabolism, and cognition — and the impacts compound with each infection.

Society only chose option 1 because they were lied to.
“It’s just a cold”
“Kids are fine”
“Herd immunity”
"Only the vulnerable are at risk"
Repeat it enough times and people believe there’s no danger.
Denial is easy. Prevention takes effort.

This is a fantastic article I encourage everyone to read.
The damaging effects of COVID on our immune system are not up for debate.
It’s not hypothetical.
And it’s not limited to “only the vulnerable”.
This is why many of us mask. Respirators like an N95 do a great job preventing covid.

England is now experiencing a significant COVID wave, after 10 months of relative quiet.
"If someone says they are in bed with flu, it’s almost certainly COVID, given that the number of people admitted to hospital for COVID last week was 50 times higher than the number admitted for flu!"

The video was made by Dr Nancy Malek as a presentation to other Doctors but it’s really worth watching the whole video. This is why I will be continuing to wear an ffp2/N96. Very important to avoid catching this virus during this time in our history.

Even in 2025, doctors have accepted too many myths about COVID.
My presentation explains why - and gives you the science you're missing.

I’ve been saying for years that the govt hasn’t/won’t change its public health messaging on Covid because it would be tacit admission that they were wrong about the protections required, & the liability/accountability that would come with that. It’s ethically appalling that they continue with this.
