The old mask did not work, business is making its rounds in social media comments again. Here is an archive/list of studies that prove masking does work if you wear the right type of mask!

This is why you need to not just mask, but mask consistently in public.

Highlights
•
HIV/AIDS and COVID-19 are preventable infectious diseases with chronic systemic impacts including immune system dysfunction.
•
Chronic inflammation, immune exhaustion, and accelerated biological aging are shared hallmarks of HIVI/AIDS and Long COVID/PASC.
•
Tissue reservoir persistence drives long-term damage in both HIV and SARS-CoV-2. SARS-CoV-2 mirrors HIV-1 in its ability to evade immune defenses and cause chronic infection.
•
SARS-CoV-2 -associated neurological disorders (SAND) parallel HIV-associated neurological disorders (HAND).
•
Both pandemics exhibit failures in global solidarity and reveal inequities in healthcare access.

How can ordinary people not revolt?
How come our outrage hasn't turned into something useful?
Why is it 6 years to get to this stage, and ordinary humans not do anything?

To be effective, protest must be noisy, obstructive, annoying. No longer is this allowed. Now the last attribute of effective dissent – persistence – is also to be banned. But the moment protest ceases to be effective is the moment democracy dies. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

"Health economic analysis." As mentioned, I don't believe this analysis (esp. in view of US insurance companies doing the reverse). Noting a heavy emphasis on the economic analysis vs a health one, despite FHM choosing to say that unlike drugs, gaming addiction etc, post covid is not "their" issue.

It's protecting a) the cancer patient and b) the child who is still too small to wear a mask.

And also--and I can't emphasize this strongly enough--you.

Has it, Will. Are you in a lot of spaces with lots of people with long covid and high risk disabilities, where they signal to you of their virtue by wearing masks for no reason. Is that a problem in your life. Should we call the police.

I am not interested in living in a society of Universal Public Masking and neither are most people. This ask is not reasonable, and the invocation of solidarity in service of it is ridiculous.

Covid-conscious fam: seen *that* post (not linking but you’ll see it for sure) that’s been circulating, reminded me of how the Swedish left were super quick to throw disabled and other vulnerable people under the bus. The right-wing goons on Twitter are bad enough, but the real betrayal is the left.

I'd propose a general blood work of the population. Low grade, health-quality degradation of immune responses, and blood infections might be a global issue in the years to come.
They neither established any protocol to test the aftermath of "mild cases" as a baseline nor monitor those infected.

Those of us living with complex chronic illness have been screaming about eugenics since the “rush back to normal”.

Once people heard that Covid was “only a risk to the vulnerable” they couldn’t wait to drop precautions.

That’s eugenics.

The vulnerable matter too.

Also, it’s a risk to everyone

Matthew Cortland (they) @matthewcort.land · 13h

It’s really disheartening to see people who admit this regime is doing eugenics fail to understand the ways in which chronically ill, disabled, and immunocompromised people are just absolutely fucked by Long Covid

This is a fantastic article I encourage everyone to read.

The damaging effects of COVID on our immune system are not up for debate.

It’s not hypothetical.

And it’s not limited to “only the vulnerable”.

This is why many of us mask. Respirators like an N95 do a great job preventing covid.
