The benefit of vaccination to prevent #LongCovid is supported by many studies, ~50% reduction. But what about vax after having Covid? A new @BMJ_latest report suggests there is some (albeit smaller) reduction, especially with 2 doses. No controls

We’re hearing lots of reports of Paxlovid rebound, but there are no good data about prevalence. Yesterday I polled my followers to learn more.

An abusive narcissist will act as if they can’t do/understand something, so as to continue their abuse and gaslight their victim.
Leadership pretending #COVID19 is mild and they’re doing all they can is exactly this. That discomfort you feel is your gut telling you the truth.

This is an airborne virus! Improved ventilation = safer from infection. Open your windows and use HEPA filters if you have them.

Early on in the Covid pandemic, there were lots of articles about how the 1918 flu disappeared from our collective memory and the historical record. Alfred Crosby famously called it “America’s Forgotten Pandemic” in his 1989 book.

This isn’t normal, it’s ghoulish. If it was normal, @CDCDirector wouldn’t be altering maps to hide case numbers & community transmission. #COVID19 is causing chronic illness even in previously healthy folks.
The cost of pretending it’s over will be horrific.

Excellent analysis of our current state, as more people & politicians adopt post-Covid mindset well before the virus has gone away. Learning to live with the ongoing threat – including choosing, prudently, to take some risks – is very different from pretending the threat is gone. https://t.co/f0uhP0YSCE

For people who are minimizing #LongCovid & complaining about “so many people fear mongering”
You’re hearing a mass of people screaming & kicking, being swept under the rug, into the void & lives destroyed.
Have some f*cking empathy.

The GOP is afraid their kids will go to school and learn to ask questions or be required to wear a mask to protect others’ lives.
I’m afraid my kids will go to school and never come home because GOP parents raise their kids to think Rittenhouse is a hero.

I am terrified to be a Black woman walking around in America. We are literally afraid to live our lives because some random person feels entitled to taking it. I map out exits before I enter stores. I have nightmares about dying. And no one cares. No one really cares about us.
