#Minnesota, including our cities and suburbs, was recovering well from Covid and the murder of George Floyd. This is part of the broader domestic terrorism against us, aimed at damaging the economy during our recovery. 700 #ICE agents are leaving, leaving 2000 here. fuck this. Get the fuck out.

Le's meltdown made this news, and brought eyes (including mine!) to the hearing, but we need to listen to the attorney for the actual victims here.

As she says, "people are just being treated like less than human."

"And we shouldn't need a court order saying Don't put someone's life in danger."

Even as someone who did actually have a scary reaction to the vaccine when I got it, I still highly recommend getting your shots if you haven't. What I went through from the vaccine was NOTHING compared to people I know, including my father, who went through what COVID is capable of.
Well now, would you look at that? A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.

I’m happy to defend Biden on many many issues—including the post-Covid inflation that ended up his biggest liability. But few politicians have ever fucked up an issue as badly as Biden fucked up on immigration.

In K-12 education and CDC research, "chronic school absenteeism" is a neutral data term for missing many school days for any reason, including illness. LCF uses this standard research term so educators can connect long COVID findings to attendance metrics they already track, not to question validity

Plus, that research in conjunction with the continuing research of the negative health effects of contracting COVID including long COVID makes a powerful case for getting vaccinated.

Speaking just 4 words an hour increases the spread of Covid 10 x more than just breathing

"most of the super spreader events have been social occasions, including gatherings at conferences, bars & restaurants"

This explains some of the reasons hospital ERs are doing so poorly. This explains some of the reasons for unexpected deaths. People have COVID. No one, including health care professionals, are looking for it anymore. So, people die from COVID. It's happening still.

It is not to be fucked with. I'm still v COVID aware. I have a friend with long COVID and they have all sorts of symptoms, including vascular. The only times I've had it I'd been stupid and not worn a mask. And it mullered me. Might have precipitated my burnout... Or maybe I have LC, who knows?

Agreed. The findings of the COVID Enquiry failed to raise any major interest in prosecuting those responsible for neglect & maladministion that caused the death of 10,000s including 600+ medical personnel. The news cycle rumbles on while folks grieve with no justice. Britain in the C21st is broken.
