Nearly everyday I talk to someone who is trying to find adequate healthcare for their child with Long Covid. Or it’s someone struggling to find a healthcare provider who will mask for them without insulting them. Or someone trying to cope with their Long Covid symptoms.

Or someone…

Andrew Wakefield failed at doing medical science and decided to become an anti-vaccine media darling as well.

The hope is that they can force H5N1 down people's throats before anyone has a chance to respond in time. Since the medical & scientific consensus rejected the useless online petition that is the Great Barrington Declaration, the wealthy are forcing us on it as a disciplinary measure.

According to a state epidemiologist, "CDC personnel who normally share information with state officials during outbreaks have been eliminated."

“One veteran researcher who still has his job (and, like other public-health workers I spoke with for this story, requested anonymity for fear of losing it) told me he believes that Kennedy’s ultimate goal is to “silence the scientific voice of career CDC scientists.””

Well, when you have actual evidence for this claim, feel free to produce it.

I mean, this is what's already happened to millions of Americans who did everything right under Biden. While there is a dedicated LongCOVID community, there's certainly people who fell for social media propaganda and have blamed the condition on "vaccine injury," an incredibly rare phenomenon.

"Immunity debt" was a fraudulent PR campaign against NPIs, that the New York Times actively promoted.

Vaccines help, but combined mitigations lighten the load. Millions of vaccinated Americans developed LongCOVID after a breakthrough infection, and booster uptake is low. The Biden Administration's rush to prematurely declare victory & abandon those Americans to Trump & anti-vaccine cranks failed.

I teach all of my classes in an N95 because my gift from having COVID (pre-vaccine) is an autoimmune disease that destroys my kidney function. COVID gave me kidney failure, which will require a kidney transplant. What's the #1 cause of death (aside from CKD) in patients waiting for dialysis? COVID.

You really don't have to entertain the people whose opinions about COVID-19 come from anti-vaccine quacks & disease minimizers that made a name for themselves by being an evidence-free contrarian on social media.

New York Times still minimizing COVID-19 in 2025 is nothing if not a commitment to the brand that endorsed Jay Bhattacharya and Marty Makary to attack Tylenol and vaccines

Thank you for doing the work of the anti-vaccine movement for them. Trump and RFK Jr. are grateful for your loyalty!

In 2022 when I was campaigning on vaccines for clinically vulnerable children I was infuriated that MPs refused to reply or respond to parents asking for help but some MPs did meet with antivaxxer parents group USfoThem but are still ignoring us. Even though 88 children had died from covid.

Well, that's what leading Democrats like Biden and Buttigieg have said for years now. Sure worked out well for all involved! 🤮

You clearly don't care about the millions of Americans who have been disabled by the virus they were infected with by people like you. Try reading the medical literature before speaking nonsense in the future: www.panaccindex.info/p/what-covid...

Millions of Americans have been disabled by COVID-19, disproportionately women, and many children. "I am interested in helping a virus harm my fellow Americans" is what you actually just said. Try reading peer-reviewed medical research before speaking nonsense: www.panaccindex.info/p/what-covid...

"Rational assessment of the threat environment" is a lot of words to say "I refuse to read the peer-reviewed medical science that rebukes my employer's years of anti-vaccine propaganda." www.panaccindex.info/p/what-covid...

The New York Times legitimized anti-vaccine, anti-science propaganda in ways that are completely unforgivable these past five years. I'm not surprised that their writers are branding people who refused to fall for their lies as "irrational." They should try looking in the mirror, for once.
