things that were true at the start of the pandemic *never stopped being true*; we've just been under increasingly heavy social and economic pressure to forget/ignore them
doing so is a gamble for everyone, we just don't all have the same odds

The UCP in Alberta have quietly announced a ban on covid vaccination for most kids under 12, please report on this and do anything you can to stop it.
They have revised to a two phase rollout, neither of which make kids without severe medical eligible for vaccination.

Untreated HIV/AIDS kills many young people in the prime of their lives but it also kills 50% of infants and toddlers perinatally infected before their 3rd birthdays.

A Johns Hopkins study found SARS-CoV-2 may reprogram neutrophils—the body’s most common white blood cells—disabling their pathogen-fighting role. Instead, they suppress other immune cells, weakening the immune response and potentially worsening COVID-19 outcomes.

Why does “learning to live with covid” mean accepting repeat infections as inevitable?
Why does it mean throwing the vulnerable to the wayside, unsafe healthcare & mass disability?
That’s not “living with it”. That’s giving up
We need to adapt. Clean air, paid time off, masks in healthcare.
