Great post. One critical point to me is that people are "not making decisions about COVID mitigation downstream of their ideas about disease severity, they’re developing ideas about disease severity downstream of decisions about mitigation."
Those of us with Long COVID have been grievously harmed by our government’s failure to implement disease control measures. That same government's denial of COVID's dangers has also created massive stigma around our illness, redoubling that harm.

Long COVID stigma adds insult to injury
It's weird having an illness a lot of people simply don't believe in

Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you:

<div class="field field-field-text"><p style="margin-bottom:11px">A young girl has died from starvation and dehydration in the city of Khan Younis in southern Gaza, reported Wafa news agency on Monday.</p>
<p>Staff at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis said the child died from severe malnutrition — a direct result of the widespread famine caused by the ongoing Israeli blockade of humanitarian aid, food, and water.</p>
<p>Medical staff warned that thousands of children across Gaza are suffering from malnutrition and dehydration due to a lack of access to water and food after nearly 100 days of Israeli preventing food, clean water, medical supplies, and fuel entering the besieged strip.</p>
<p>Bassam Zaqqout, director of the non-governmental organization Palestinian Medical Relief Society described the situation as catastrophic, declaring: “Gaza has become a place of death. The famine rate has reached 100 percent”</p>
<p>Israel has been accused of using food as a weapon of war by human rights organisations.</p>

BEGGING every pundit & publication concerned about lack of ongoing access to covid vaccines to be clear that there are other tools we can use to prevent infection: ventilation, far uv, & filtration with purifiers & masks can make an impact *if you use them*— help others access these tools for free👇🏻
