I’ve had a several dozen requests to write or be interviewed about the 5th anniversary of Covid and said no to all of them… except this one with @alexis-madrigal.bsky.social. Here’s our chat on the things we’ve memory-holed, and where we go from here.

@juliadoubleday.bsky.social on the ways those of us who refuse denial carry your burdens: "Although I’m saving the state money by reducing the spread of viral illness, the state doesn’t subsidize my contributions to public health; instead, it stigmatizes them."

Amen to that.
I think it would make a big difference in our health if we banned Pharma ads from America like the rest of the world does.

There’s one more thing I want to add:

Get vaccinated now. Get up-to-date on everything. Your MMR, your HPV vaccines, your hepatitis, COVID-19, flu, RSV, etc.

Do it now before this administration comes in with its anti-science leaders ready to go after basic healthcare.

I’ve been writing The Gauntlet, about the ongoing COVID crisis since 2022. In Nov 2023, I caught COVID and went on to develop severe Long COVID. Through it all, I’ve continued to report on the state’s decision to normalize the pandemic.

Please support if you can!

These rocks in the #PeakDistrict are known as Robin Hood's Stride. Legend has it that Robin strode between the tower-like stones at either end of the tor, but as they are 15 metres apart he must have had very long legs!

Well, here it is: the election post-mortem you probably saw coming from @juliadoubleday.bsky.social and me.
