We normalized mass infection so thoroughly that even healthcare workers, who see the consequences firsthand, don’t feel entitled to the most basic protections. They clock in, accept the risk, get sick & come back to do it again—thus Covid abandonment has made these hard jobs even more brutal.

It’s not just policy failure—it’s ideological. Masking is framed as *my* need, *my* vulnerability, not as a collective necessity. Even when they acknowledge how much sickness is spreading, protecting themselves (even from having to work through illness) isn’t part of the equation

Such a stark contrast. Inside my room: care, caution, masking. Outside, in the hallway: nothing. Same ppl who masked for me walk straight into spaces they *themselves* call a petri dish, unmasked. Pre-Covid, I’d mask in hospitals & staff would say, “You know what? I’m keeping mine on today.”

Working for the Lincoln Project should be treated similarly to working for the church of Scientology
