I’m very very tired of “living in fear” being lobbed at maskwearers by people who frequently say they can’t wear one because no one else around them is. Living in fear is ignoring science and endangering lives and your own health because you’re terrified of not fitting in.

I said what I said.
Ben Ryan posted on Twitter to his anti-trans audience: 

Journalist Walter Bragman issues a blistering response to @PeteButtigieg’s statement over trans inclusion in sports, calling it “craven shit” and saying Mr. Buttigieg is catering to bigots. 

“To just put a fine point on it: Parents do not, in fact, have legitimate concerns about trans kids playing sports,” Mr. Bragman says.

“Just because they believe bullshit doesn’t make it legitimate.

“Fuck anti-trans bigots.”Ben Ryan adds:

Enraged, journalist Walker Bragman issues followup comments about @PeteButtigieg’s remarks about trans girls in sports. 

“No, there’s no middle ground,” he says. “It’s human rights or discrimination.”

I think a lot about how COVID-19 was sold as an "individual responsibility," an approach which got over a million people killed but that the culture still accepted. Following that P.R. success, they're eager to say every illness is your fault.

This National Public Health Week, I encourage fellow journalists to refer to the Covid-19 pandemic in the present tense. Sure, the government emergency in the US is over, but that means people can be forced to come into work while sick with Covid, which increases the risk of developing Long Covid.

Please ignore tired pieces in publications like the Atlantic that are still trying to stigmatize mask wearing. Wearing a mask to prevent sickness from airborne viruses is a science-informed position, and it has been that way for over 100 years.

1. Perhaps the most damaging blowback from the response to Covid-19 in 2020 and 2021 is the mainstreaming of a public health ideology that is rooted in a dangerous combination of survivorship bias, nostalgia, and the naturalistic fallacy.

Ed Yong is such a real one <3 www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/m...
You’ve been clear in saying that Covid has not gone away. You ask people to wear masks at your events. But that attitude is not necessarily where the rest of the world is. How do you think about continuing to take precautions and advising others to do so when it feels as if society has moved on? I do it for a bunch of reasons. Firstly, I have learned that I enjoy not being sick. I know that the cost of long Covid is real and substantial, and I don’t want to run that risk lightly. I also know that I have many friends and people I’m close to who are immunocompromised. So for the sake of the people around me, I also don’t want to get sick. When I do events, I wear a mask for those reasons, and because I know that every time I do a talk, while the vast majority of people in the audience have probably moved on, there are going to be other people who haven’t. I think it makes a huge difference to them to have the person at the front of the stage wear a mask. It tells them, It’s not weird. So I do it for that reason, too. In terms of holding this line at a point when a large swath of society has moved on, I have written a lot about the panic-neglect cycle.

I’m pretty sure the guy was *not* a Trump voter but even if he was, this is about insulin, not a yacht. When someone can’t get medicine, regardless of who they voted for, the correct response isn’t fafo, it’s “I am outraged with you, did you hear about what’s happening to ___? That’s messed up too!”
