Nothing about this is normal. We are still in an ongoing pandemic, and the virus continues to circulate, mutate, infect, disable, and kill.

“We are told by leaders that we are the future. But when it comes to the ongoing pandemic, our present is being stolen right in front of our eyes.”

Incredible speech by Violet Affleck who warned about the ongoing dangers of COVID & Long Covid, & advocated for masks and clean air at the UN today!

After the massive, nationwide #HandsOff protest, Trump was asked on Fox what the protesters wanted from the President.
His answer is exactly why people call him #DementiaDon.

A lot of disabled and chronically ill people are disappointed they couldn’t go out and protest as part of #HandsOff today.

Never forget that rest IS resistance.

Listening to your body & giving it what it needs is a radical act of self care.

We need our strength for the long battle ahead.

I asked Peter Marks about his concerns of the impact of pseudoscience in regulation of lifesaving medicines.

Now, he’s forced out of FDA’s CBER by RFK Jr. for upholding scientific rigor & refusing to kowtow to lies.

It is a dark day for science and humanity.

A friend drove two hours today for her breast cancer chemotherapy only to learn it was canceled due to NIH cuts. Clinical trial ended midstream. No treatment, no restart, no plan, no information. Her bro-in-law's chemo was also canceled.

For all those wanting and asking me about Novavax availability in Australia: Novavax have yet to submit their application to the TGA for their JN.1 vaccine. They’ve told me they’re working towards an approval and supply for the “Australian 2025 winter.” Six months away. #novavax #Covid

This is long, but worth a listen, even in chunks of time or a speaker at a time.

Lots of info that schools and teachers could take on to reduce transmission of illness - including Covid - in their classrooms.

Are there a lot of clean air advocates on here yet? People who work in the field, subject matter experts, lay people who’ve been pushing to get clean air in public spaces etc?

Can you reskeet for visibility and reply if this is you?
