Many people on the so called left need to brush up on their disability studies, bc the last couple weeks i have been seeing ableist rhetoric that would make rfk jr’s heart sing

I just saw a story about the lesbian bar in Bon Appetit magazine, also spreading the same exaggerated details to make the maskers seem unreasonable. Imagine if American media cared this much about educating people on why masks & clean air are important instead of punching down?

Oh yes. This is certainly true. The best is if we're in any way upset about being abandoned by fellow leftists we're seen as NOT NORMAL or overly emotional

Post by Julia Marie (@julia_doubleday) on X The only way the words "long covid" comes out of most leftists (particularly the prominent ones w large platforms) mouths is to mock it, imply it's fake, punch down in ppl who have it, bitch that we asked for accessibility, bitch that we brought up masks like my god

Do they realize how ridiculous they sound when they say that anyone asking for accommodations & masks are taking away their 'freedoms' when its people still taking Covid precautions & those who are disabled or chronically ill who've been unable to safely access public spaces for 6+ yrs?

Prior infection doesn’t guarantee protection from getting COVID again. Reinfections can happen, and every new infection is another opportunity to develop Long COVID. Reducing the number of times we’re infected still matters. #COVID #COVID19 #LongCOVID #CovidIsNotOver #CleanAir

World Health Network graphic on a black background with white and bright pink text. Large headline reads: “More exposure doesn’t equal better protection.” Supporting text reads: “Getting COVID doesn’t protect you from getting it again. Repeated COVID infections create repeated opportunities for developing Long COVID.” The top includes “whn.global” and the World Health Network tagline, “Science for a safer, healthier world.”

Is COVID surging in Ontario? I think it is. Wastewater surveillance lags about 2 weeks (which yes, mostly defeats its purpose). It reads as low/moderate. But in other jurisdictions around us it's surging. Anecdotally, I see a big bump in infections among people I know, just in the last week. 1/4
