Covid is arguably the biggest cover-up of the 21st century—and it’s being perpetrated right in front of everyone’s eyes. There are now thousands of peer-reviewed scientific studies warning of its dangers, and articles on it are a simple Google search away.

This is wild. A 22-year-old having COVID 9 times isn’t “normal” or acceptable.
She washes her hands religiously, but COVID is airborne — Public health failed her.
She had been healthy and happy for most of her life, but repeated infections have clearly taken a toll on her health and wellbeing.

I agree with all this — sick leave is essential to a healthy society. While we’re working on that, though, we need to make it a general norm that if you MUST be around others while sick, you wear a mask (preferably a good one).
3/ Isolation is important but only works if people can afford it. Many people simply can’t stay home when sick. Without meaningful sick pay, asking people to isolate is unrealistic. Better financial support is essential to reduce transmission.

I said “let’s clean the air, wear masks and other prevention stuff to protect people from bugs”…
Society said. “We prefer dead kids.”
Mainly because dark money convinced people that going back to “normal” was important, no matter how bad it was.

Some Dems have told themselves only ~1% of the population is trans so they can dip their toe in the anti-trans filth and come out clean.
I don't have any trans family members—but it still makes me irate. I see it as a huge red flag, a sign you are unprincipled and untrustworthy. And I'm not alone.

We are parents of a trans kid and our family takes this very, very personally.

From a good thread on secondary infections after flu or Covid. You don't want to get Covid!
Get your flu and Covid vaccines, mask up, and stay home when sick. Clean the air. Protect those most vulnerable, including the elderly and babies, and those with chronic conditions. #health #Covid #flu

Flu infection makes you more vulnerable to secondary infections for a short time period.
But Covid infection makes you EVEN MORE vulnerable to secondary infection during that time period.

By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).
