Reminder, sunglasses hide your identity more than masks.
As research in Scientific Reports shows, "Face masks are less effective than sunglasses in masking face identity."
Will policymakers also ban sunglasses? hats?

May Karma bless you with the understanding only firsthand experience can bring.
People’s illnesses (no matter the underlying cause) are not conspiracy theories.
This is not science, it’s hate directed at sick people.

The "Chronic Lyme" conspiracy theory is basically the idea that you can get these prolonged symptoms from an asymptomatic Lyme infection, but there is no evidence any of the people who claim to be suffering from this ever contracted Lyme disease in the first place

“As a species, we have acquired a lot more immunological armor with which to fight off the worst of Covid.” - Helen Branswell, Hybrid Immunity Champion
Covid is no longer a pandemic. It is an endemic disease. It is one of the multitudes of respiratory viruses that infect humans regularly. That doesn't lessen its significance, or the importance of using the protections we have against it.

A perfect recent example of this is the totally underwhelming reaction to the HICPAC vote against airborne precautions by the “Evidence-Based” people who are up in arms over appointments to head the HHS, NIH etc. Both are massively important issues!

For the past 4 years almost every major “disinformation” reporter has ignored the rise of COVID denialists like Jay and others, instead choosing to boost their denialist rhetoric that the pandemic ended (it has not, according to the World Health Organization), and that COVID is harmless (it is not)
The Washington Post has reported that Stanford Professor Dr. Jay Bhattacharya will likely be Trump’s NIH director pick.
Here’s everything you need to know about the man who has spent years advocating for mass COVID infection.
