220k daily infections currently, with new variants. Fauci said in Nov 2021 that we had to get below 10k daily cases to have any sort of control or normalcy. That target was completely abandoned. Not because "COVID is over/mild" but because the economy couldn't wait any longer.

Masking is resistance against the corporate demand to sacrifice your body in order to turn billionaires into trillionaires.

Now instead of "just wear a mask", it's "you're crazy for wearing that!" even from medical staff. Humans have a primitive need for conformity, not just to fit in, but to have uniformity among the "tribe"; Any individualistic behavior is disturbing when one wants to bury their head in the sand.

I had a painful reminder today of how much my social circle has diminished due to my chronic health conditions and COVID avoidance. Even so, cashing my brain and body in for some broader social acceptance still just isn't worth it. But that doesn't make it hurt any less.

I’ll never understand how “we have to learn to live with the virus” was interpreted as “completely abandon every possible mitigation.”

I need everyone to understand that we who are protecting ourselves from COVID infections did not “do our own research” and “come to the conclusions” about its effects on our own. What we’re doing is trusting in the largest body of scientific research for any disease in history.

CDC Staff Prohibited From Co-Authoring Papers With World Health Organization Personnel
A screenshot of article which says:

CDC Staff Prohibited From Co-Authoring Papers With World Health Organization Personnel

It’s just the latest “Orwellian” crackdown on government scientists.

By Matt Shuham
Feb 28, 2025, 12:37 PM EST

Scientists at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have been prohibited from co-authoring publications with World Health Organization staff, dealing a blow to global research efforts and continuing the Trump administration’s aggressive attack on government-funded science.

“CDC staff should not be co-authors on manuscripts/abstracts with WHO staff,” an interim guidance document dated Thursday and obtained by HuffPost says, adding that CDC staff should also not author publications related to work “funded by WHO.”

SARS-CoV-2 harms your vascular system. It disrupts the ACE2 receptors on your endothelial cells, leading to a cascade of harmful effects: These mechanisms underline how SARS-CoV-2-induced endothelial dysfunction can cause severe cardiovascular complications.

Remember when NYT ran a front-page article at 100k COVID deaths, calling it "an incalculable loss"? Well 1,000 Americans are still dying per-week from COVID-19, and not only is it not front-page news, it's been manipulated into being "just everyday life." This was performative.

Simply providing objective, scientific information is accused as "fearmongering" because it invokes fear *in them* and they can't handle the reality of the implications. This is a coping mechanism. "Anything bad is fearmongering." See also where we are with politics.

Reminder that mid-2024 Dr. Fauci put to rest the mythical fantasy of "herd immunity" with SARS-CoV-2 / COVID-19. The media acting surprised that we have yet another COVID wave again after ~90 days is willful ignorance, and deliberate misinformation.
Clip from an interview with Dr. Fauci in summer 2024 saying unequivocally that there is no possibly way to have "herd immunity" with SARS / COVID-19.

Quote "If you have a pathogen that keeps changing like the multiple variants of SARS, and if you have a duration of immunity that's measured in months, the entire concept of herd immunity is no longer valid. That's the point."
