I wish I could say I feel vindicated by this long-awaited study, but I'm just... exhausted. I take no joy in sharing covid info. This shit's horrifying at every turn. But disabled people have to care doubly because the world doesn't care at all. The past 5 years feel like 20.

The left has an ableism problem. The right obviously does too. They’re loudly bigoted & closed-minded. My focus is on the people who claim to be inclusive, progressive and willing to learn, grow and adapt to new information. Where are leftists when disabled people need them?

Doctors are not gods. There are plenty of doctors without egos and scientists who have been studying covid for over half a decade. They’re doing the thankless work of recording the far-reaching effects and distributing the info. In this individualistic hellscape, I’m listening to them.

It’s Disability Pride Month! Many of you have been disabled by one or multiple covid infections and don’t know it yet. Many others are aware, though, and have been sounding the alarm for years. Stop disabling your communities by breathing all over everyone. WEAR A MASK!

Tens of millions of kids with long covid. They didn’t ask for this shit. We’re failing them every day. Forcible infections are straight from the eugenicist’s playbook. When they grow up, they’re gonna rightfully demand answers. I’ll be firmly planted in their corner.

Y’all are out here huffing covid like you have unlimited paid time off and hella benefits at your disposal lmao The social cost of being the only masked person in a room is higher than the worth of your own health and wellbeing? And the health of those around you? Why?

Covid ages the brain 10x faster than natural aging. If you proclaim to be progressive and inclusive, you should be on the front lines of sharing info about an ongoing mass disabling event. Here I cover some of covid’s effects, the Semmelweis Reflex, and how to start caring.

potatum @pot8um.bsky.social · 28/06/2025

If me sharing studies on the dangers of covid scares you bc you’ve been ignoring it for years… is that fearmongering? Or are you just going thru a personal reckoning and trying to make it my problem? I’m sharing info that our leaders should be sharing. Take it up with them.

Covid ages the brain 10 times faster than natural aging. That’s per infection btw. It affects everything from spatial awareness to problem solving. We’re experiencing continuous neurological damage on a global scale. It’s no wonder people are using GenAI to think for them.

If you aren’t masking and pushing for disability rights you aren’t actually as progressive as you claim to be. Eugenics comes from all sides. Mask. Up. Now.

Despite their so-called progressiveness and inclusion, most leftists don’t care about disabled people.
