This news is important because all the fucks out there actively attempting to wreck the world want you to think that the work is hopeless and just mitigating the worst case scenario. It's not. Fucking keep going.

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.”

One of the (many) reasons I'll keep wearing an N95. Even if you roll your eyes Or insist I'm "overreacting" Or harass me I don't care what you think. I'm protecting me, my family, and my community. I just wish you cared enough to do the same.

Took an Uber for the first time since 2019, and the driver was listening to what sounded like an AI generated guide book for a tabletop RPG that would veer into something vaguely narrative before returning to listing stats and repeating spaceship names 30 times per sentence. It was maddening.

It's also worth noting that conditions that can compromise the immune system can affect your protection from diseases, even after vaccination. Like #COVID. Measles itself is worse for destroying previous acquired immunity to other diseases, but if you've got SARS2 at some point, take steps.

A pattern here is anti trans changes made under a labour government are assumed to be "reasonable and moderate" by people who would oppose them if a right wing government was doing them. This is worse for trans people because cis people just don't believe us when we talk about what is happening.

My eye went right to the conspicuous "JESUS" followed by "TO INFINITY and beyond," and so I read it like an annoyed exclamation, as though to say, "Jesus fucking christ what is wrong with you." It took a minute before I saw that "REACH FOR THE SKY" was followed by "and for Jesus." What a threat.

"Lockdown" was and is an anti-public health term.

If nobody locked your door, it was not a lockdown, despite some using that term, sometimes even as "official" language. It was shelter in place, which was good, because many in public health and medicine recommended *against* masking or only recommended cloth and procedure masks not designed to block virus-laden aerosols, which follow the laws of fluid dynamics. You're seeing more public health folks use that term recently because they are engaged in cognitive dissonance and denial, taking

I think most people see this & think, That was terrible back in ’21 & ‘22 when anti-vaxxers wouldn’t follow the science & spurned masks, etc. But a much smaller group knows COVID is still here causing dangerous long term health issues & that you should still mask indoors. Which group are you in?
